News of his shooting has earned big reactions from social media users and peers. Recently, for example, Wack 100 shared his thoughts on the ordeal on Clubhouse. He argued that YoungBoy won’t “pull a Lil Durk” over the shooting, as captured by @Thechat101, and will prioritize his own freedom instead.

Lil Durk is currently behind bars on charges related to an alleged murder-for-hire plot. Authorities accuse him of hiring various individuals to fly to Los Angeles to murder Quando Rondo in retaliation for the 2020 murder of King Von. In 2022, Quando Rondo and his cousin Lul Pab were targeted in a shooting at an L.A. gas station. Quando Rondo walked away unscathed, but Lul Pab died of his injuries.

When Is Lil Durk’s Trial?

Durk pleaded not guilty to his charges in November 2024. He’s currently awaiting his trial, which is expected to begin this August.

News of Wack 100’s comments comes as AllStar JR continues to taunt the injured rapper. This week, he offered $20K to whoever wins his new challenge, which involves lying on the floor as if they had just been shot. Almost immediately after the shooting, he also took to Instagram to share a series of photos of himself at a jewelry store. For obvious reasons, his caption raised eyebrows.

“Had To Shoot To The D And Get New Ice Cuz My Mans Ben 10 Took Some Of My Stuff To The Hospital With Him #JRClosedTheElevatorOnRon #OG3LeftThemN****s #AllThatPlaying,” he wrote. This led some to believe that AllStar JR could have allegedly been involved in the shooting somehow, though this remains unconfirmed.

The segment has gotten a lot of love from viewers online, and recently, Harlow took to his Instagram Story to address it. According to him, Marshall’s impression was pretty convincing. So much so, in fact, that he tricked Harlow’s own relative.

“My aunt texted me and told me she was proud of me for going on SNL and addressing everything,” he revealed, as seen in a screenshot shared by Pop Base on Twitter/X. “My aunt That I am related to Actually thought that was me.”

News of Harlow’s confession comes just a few weeks after he appeared on the New York Times’ “Popcast,” where he opened up about his newest work. He claimed that he “got Blacker” on Monica, raising eyebrows among viewers.

“I think I love Black music,” he explained. “I love the sound of Black music. Of course, I’m hyper-aware of the politics of today, that safer landing spot that a lot of my white contemporaries have found. Of course, it appealed to me to do something that I felt like, at a time when there’s plenty of people expecting me to take some of the routes that y’all are taking, to take the route that not only might not be expected, but is also the one I genuinely want to take. So all the stars aligned in that way for me, to be honest.”

“I’m not going to pretend like what you’re talking about, I was like, ‘Huh, I guess you’re right,'” he continued. “I knew that there were multiple things appealing about this route. But I also came to the decision, I’m proud to say, off of what feels good to my ear. I love R&B music. I love the sound of soft, intimate, melodic music. So I want to be understood. I want to write melodies that invite people to sing along.”

Eventually, Gio seemingly offered to start leaking his unreleased music, asking fans what songs they want to hear first. “You think you the only psyched out person in the world?” she further asked. “B*tch ah smear dog sh*t down yo back before I let you think some sh*t like that.”

In the latest post, she wrote: “Idek why you choose to play w a b*tch like me, Ima put my paws on you every time. EVERY TIME. You bald headed b*tch!!”

Playboi Carti & Gio’s Relationship

Playboi Carti and Gio have been linked since early 2025. That May, Summer Walker sparked speculation that the two secretly got married by sharing a picture of herself with the couple in the studio. “Thank you Carti for pulling up to add a great finishing touch to my album, you were a perfect gentleman & your wife is so sweet n funny [white heart emoji],” she captioned the post.

After that, Gio made headlines for claiming that Carti’s next album, Baby Boi, was done. “Yeah, BABY BOI is done,” she said in a video on social media. “BABY BOI is done. It’s completed. He keeps talking about it. It’s done, it’s on the way. He just keeps trying to make sure it drops at the right time, I guess.”

Prior to his relationship with Gio, Carti dated Iggy Azalea from 2018 to 2020. They share a son named Onyx.

During her interview with the outlet, Long opened up about everything from her love life to her next film. She even got candid about co-parenting with her exes, Massai Z. Dorsey and Ime Udoka. According to her, the key has been staying friends despite their romance falling flat.

“It doesn’t mean we’re not cool, it doesn’t mean we’re not friends, it doesn’t mean that we still can’t have family time together,” she explained, “It only means that we don’t have to be romantically involved with each other, but we can still celebrate our children.”

“I love my co-parenting situation. We have the best: We go on holidays. We go on vacation. Sometimes we carve out space to go to dinner,” Long continued. “We went to dinner the other night, and we had a really good time. And then it’s like, ‘OK, bye. Have fun. Talk to you later.’ ”

“I can call them if [our sons] need something or they can call me,” she added. “There’s obviously boundaries there, but we can still be a family. […] And it works. We make it work. Really, I make it work. I’m not giving anyone else the credit.”

“We are the designers,” Long concluded, “We are the architects. We are the ones who can visualize what we want to see for our children, and make them the priority.”

Jenae recently traveled to Tanzania with her fiancé, Joe McCann, to celebrate her 31st birthday. She shared her final social media post on April 5, captioning a picture of herself with a giraffe: “Chapter 31 and I’m exactly where I need to be.”

What Happened To Ashlee Jenae?

On Sunday, her family confirmed that she was found unresponsive in her villa and taken to a nearby hospital, where she was pronounced dead. “Nothing about this loss feels real. One moment she was celebrating love and life in truly Ashly fashion, and the next, she was gone. The suddenness, the unanswered questions, and the distance from home have made this tragedy even more overwhelming for our family,” they wrote in a statement. “At this time, there is an active investigation into the circumstances surrounding Ashly’s suspicious passing. Although we have many questions, we are placing our trust in the officials in Zanzibar and are working closely with them as we seek clarity and answers.”

They concluded: “We respectfully ask that any information not directly provided by our family be treated as unverified and not considered factual at this time.” The reference to “unanswered questions” has sparked plenty of suspicion about the circumstances of her death on social media.

Ashlee Jenae’s parents have since sat down with CBS News for an interview about their daughter’s death. They revealed that McCann allegedly informed them that she was in the hospital. He is not facing any charges in connection with her passing. The parents added that they intend to travel to Tanzania to get a better idea of what happened.

Shortly after the shooting, Detroit artist AllStar JR took to social media to do a bit of taunting. He shared a series of photos of himself at a jewelry store on Instagram, raising eyebrows with his caption. “Had To Shoot To The D And Get New Ice Cuz My Mans Ben 10 Took Some Of My Stuff To The Hospital With Him #JRClosedTheElevatorOnRon #OG3LeftThemN****s #AllThatPlaying,” he wrote.

Of course, this led to theories that AllStar JR was allegedly involved in the shooting somehow. While this is unconfirmed, he only compounded the speculation this week when he announced a new challenge.

Who Shot NBA Ben10?

In a clip shared by Akademiks TV on Twitter/X, he offers $20K to whoever wins the challenge, which involves lying on the floor as if they had just been shot.

Lieutenant R. Wilkins provided the public with an update shortly after the shooting, describing the altercation that occurred beforehand and explaining where the investigation was.

“So, what we know right now is our suspect, who we don’t know who he is right now… was at this location, and had a confrontation with a couple guys,” he said in part. “It appeared from what they were doing was that they were trying to take his chains. We don’t know if they knew him or what that was, but it appears possible they knew this guy. And they were in the process of trying to rip his chains off.”

“Again, the investigation just now starting,” he continued. “But investigators are going to get over here and try to figure out how it occurred. We got some folks on the scene who are talking to us. We got some good video.”

Throughout the years, the artist has been very forthcoming about the fact that it is difficult for him to stay monogamous. For the most part, he is someone who is constantly cheating on his partners. Furthermore, he has no issues with admitting that. On camera, he will just come out and say point-blank that he cheats, and that he doesn’t really feel any remorse about it. Somehow, he has convinced his romantic partners that this is fine and just a matter of who he is.

Recently, Blueface was on a live stream where he was asked about his cheating escapades and whether or not he admits it right away. Blue noted that he will tell his partner if they ask, but for the most part, he goes by a don’t ask don’t tell policy.

Blueface Chases The Thrill

As for why he cheats, it is clear that Blue is very much a thrill seeker. He claims that he gets a rush from doing it. Having sex with someone you’re not supposed to be sleeping with is akin to skydiving for him. The girls who asked him the question appeared to be a bit scandalized by his answer. That said, he is being honest, which you have to appreciate… sort of.

Whether or not Blueface is going to change his ways is something that remains to be seen. However, given how things are working for him, that is kind of doubtful right now. Whatever the case may be, Blue is someone who understands that sex sells.

While his music career may not be as lucrative as it once was, he has been able to turn his familial drama into a career. Sometimes, you just gotta do what you gotta do.
