“I miss that n***a,” Black began. “If X was alive, I’d be way more happier. My n***a was a rockstar. He would’ve made sure I’d met Zendaya already. I would’ve already met Zendaya if X was still alive.”

When No Jumper shared the clip on Instagram, fans had mixed reactions in the comments section. Some took Black seriously, such as one user who wrote: “Translation: x really had the world in his hands and was a genuine dude. One of the realest ones Kodak came across and would’ve really pushed him to go over the top and reach a much bigger demographic.” Others joked about Black’s focus on Zendaya. “‘I miss gang bro do you know how many baddies I would’ve met fr,'” one commented.

Kodak Black Celebrity Crushes

Kodak Black has been showing love to Zendaya for years at this point. In 2024, he referenced her on his song, “Versatile.” He raps: “Tell Zendaya I’d like to meet her. Had crush on her since she was on Shake It Up. Seen her on Disney I think she pretty and she fit me and like her name ‘cuse I’m Z’d up.” Before that, he dedicated a poem to her on Valentine’s Day in 2020.

Zendaya isn’t the only celebrity Kodak Black has expressed his affection for in recent days. During another video on social media, Black made lewd comments about Cardi B. “Every time Cardi B see me, she be like, ‘My brother!'” he remarked. “I can’t even f**k Cardi B, I don’t even think she would give me that c**chie. She won’t even give me that p***y. ‘That’s my brother!'”

Quotable Lyrics from Feed The Streets

This that gangster shit that Malcom X was preaching ’bout
That Tupac was teaching ’bout, that Suge and Puff was beefing ’bout
They wanna build you up and break you like they did Iron Mike
Need that shit that J was smoking when he got his mind right

2026 is just a couple of days from now, and still, the album has yet to be released. While Drake was seemingly gearing up for a 2025 release, it has become crystal clear that he wants to take his time. It’s an admirable decision to make, especially when you consider the importance of this album.

ICEMAN will be Drake’s first solo album since For All The Dogs. It will also be his first solo album since his beef with Kendrick Lamar. It’s easy to see why Drizzy would want to make a good impression with this project and put in the maximum amount of effort.

Luckily, for fans, it would appear as though Drake is reaching the final steps of the recording process. We know this thanks to DJ Akademiks, who made some interesting revelations about the album on stream recently.

Drake Plays ICEMAN For His Friends

“I’ve heard drakes been playing the album for some folks. The album is nearing its final stages,” DJ Akademiks explained.

Perhaps the most interesting tidbit from this clip is Akademiks admitting that this is an important album for Drake. At this point, the artist needs this to be a success, and he needs it to have bona fide hits.

When Is ICEMAN Dropping?

For now, there is no release date for ICEMAN. When you consider the name of the album, you would suspect that this would be made specifically for the Winter months. After all, $OME $EXY $ONGS 4 U came out in February. Perhaps that could be the golden month for Drake.

At this stage, fans are just going to have to be patient for an announcement. This album could either be a surprise release or a long rollout that attempts to rival Marty Supreme. Whatever the case may be, fans are going to be tapped in.

Since that time, the Drake and Kendrick beef has rocked hip-hop to its core. As for Cole, there are some who feel as though he completely botched the situation. Some fans felt as though it was some sort of performance art to promote the underlying themes of an album called The Fall Off.

What we do know is that Cole has not dropped the album. It’s been years since he first mentioned the words The Fall Off, and now, fans have been left waiting. According to Mal from the Rory & Mal Podcast, there is a very good reason why Cole has yet to drop the project.

Essentially, Cole had features from both Kendrick and Drake on the album. However, following the beef, no one is really rocking with each other, and it has forced Cole to re-record everything.

“Yes, Kendrick was on the album, and Drake was on the album,” Mal said. “Well, was, which is why we didn’t get the album, cause now he gotta do his whole album over.”

When Is J. Cole Dropping The Fall Off

As for when J. Cole will finally drop The Fall Off? At this point, we simply do not know. Cole has gone ghost on social media and doesn’t seem eager to return anytime soon. It feels as though the artist is letting some of his contemporaries get their releases out of the way.

A$AP Rocky is dropping Don’t Be Dumb on January 16th, while Drake is going to be releasing ICEMAN in the New Year. Once those projects are out of the way, perhaps it will give Cole some runway to come through and drop The Fall Off.

Whatever the case may be, fans are still hungry for new Cole music, and there is a hope that he will drop something sooner rather than later.

However, many fans of rap have argued that the musical output and state of the culture have been affected in a negative way. Jim Jones, who’s witnessed his fair share of culture shifts since stepping into the game in the late 1990s, has that view since the battle concluded, too.

In an honest debate with Conway the Machine on his latest episode of Artist 2 Artist, the Diplomat alum argued that Drake and Lamar’s respective absences are why there’s this perceived “dry spell” right now. He states that their music is what has carried the genre for a decade and without them, it feels empty.

This and Jones’ following comments have fans angry and a bit confused. Capo also believes that while Kendrick is an outstanding talent, he doesn’t provide “the vibe” that Drake can.

He argues that we need more music like that as Jones says more rappers are “outside” than battling each other.

Jim Jones 50 Cent Beef

Folks in the comments section of joebuddenclips‘ repost strongly disagree with his take. “Omg this narrative annoys me. Drake dropped way more music in 2025 than Kendrick did… if it’s not hitting it’s cuz U don’t like it!!! Ask him why he’s dropping MID???”

Another X user responds, “Yall claim this and that when it comes to Drake. If hes such a vibe, how come you guys don’t stream his current music like you stream his older music? You cant say hes a vibe if you dnt fk w his current music.”

What’s sort of ironic about all of this though is that Jones is kind of caught up in his own rap beef right now. Him and his Let’s Rap About It podcast co-hosts, Maino, Fabolous, and Dave East, dropped a combined freestyle called “Squatter’s Rights” made for 50 Cent.

However, it’s Fab’s bars that have been the talk of the town as him and Fif had exchanged words directly at one another.

After ranking his favorite verses on the song, Wack explained how he thinks 50 should handle the situation. “The G-Unit gotta respond,” Wack said. “G-Unit has to respond… 50, Yayo, Murda. They come out as a unified front. It would be good for hip-hop, great for New York. It’ll wake New York up.”

“Squatters” features tons of fiery bars aimed at 50 Cent. During Fabolous’ verse, he raps: “You know I got Power, your shorty got hot showered.” The line is a reference to 50’s ex-girlfriend, Daphne Joy, who recently made headlines for testifying against Diddy during his criminal trial.

Why Are 50 Cent & Fabolous Beefing?

The drama began when 50 Cent trolled the Let’s Rap About It podcast hosts by accusing them of “squatting” in the studio where they record. He further threatened to purchase the entire building.  “I didn’t have this on my list of things to do, but if you insist I’ll make time. I’m working on buying the space where you film, and 50 percent of your podcast you know I don’t [cap emoji],” he wrote on Instagram.

While 50 Cent has yet to drop a diss track in response to Fabolous, he did hint at planning to do so in a post on Instagram on Sunday. Sharing a picture of himself edited over Leonardo DiCaprio in The Great Gatsby, he wrote: “Let’s toast to success, health, and prosperity. I’m planning my new year. When I’m done, I’ll come out to play. You know everyone who plays with me wishes they didn’t in the end.”

Speaking with TMZ, earlier this month, Maino suggested that feuding with 50 Cent has been good for their podcast. “Beefing with 50 is good business,” Maino said. “Numbers is up, podcast is up, engagement is up. I wish I woulda known this a long time ago.”

She paired that top layer with a white-collared shirt and grey miniskirt. Pink tights, rose-colored pumps, a pearl belt, and bleach blonde wig rounded off the look. Cardi B kept the pearl accents going, with massive earrings and the flashiest pearl necklace ever.

Also made by Chanel, it was so large that she wore it like a cross-body bag. If that wasn’t enough, the AM I THE DRAMA? creator carried around a jean jacket with matching pink trim. It was certainly a look to behold and may have distracted the New York Jets a bit.

So much so that they could only muster 10 points as their 2025-2026 season continues to be more and more abysmal with each passing week.

The home team was run off their own field by Cardi’s boo, Stefon Diggs, and the New England Patriots.

Stefon Diggs & The New England Patriots

The now 13-3 AFC East champions put up 42 points, outscoring the lowly Jets 35-3 in the first half alone. Quarterback Drake Maye was sensational once again, setting a career-high for passing TDs in a game with 5.

He was essentially flawless, completing 19 of his 21 pass attempts for 256 yards. Stefon showed out once again, racking up 101 receiving yards to go along with a touchdown on six catches.

With their resounding victory and a heartbreaking loss by the Buffalo Bills, they were able to claim the division crown for the first time since 2019. Also important, the Patriots are still within reach of the number one overall seed in the AFC playoffs. A Denver Broncos loss and a win next week against the Miami Dolphins would give them that title.

Deion’s son, Shilo, previously hinted at the NFL legend spending the holidays with Tran in a video on his YouTube channel. When Shilo arrived at the family house, his sister, Deiondra, revealed that their father had gone to meet Tran’s parents. “This n**** drove to Prosper, Texas?! That’s like two hours!” Shilo responded.

Tran also confirmed that she spent Christmas with Deion at the Cleveland Browns’ game against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. “I got to spend some quality time with the Sanders family, and my family. …We had a great Christmas together,” she said. Deion’s son, Shedeur, plays quarterback for the Browns.

Deion Sanders & Karrueche Tran’s Relationship

Despite being rumored to be dating since the summer, Deion Sanders and Karrueche Tran have mostly kept their relationship private in recent months. The rumors began when Tran appeared at the hospital where Deion was receiving treatment related to blood clots. Before dating Deion Sanders, Tran was linked to Chris Brown, Quavo, and Victor Cruz.

In August, Tran spoke about her dating life during an episode of the What’s Next podcast, but avoided mentioning Deion by name. “If I wasn’t having fun I wouldn’t be in it,” she said at the time, as caught by E! News. “I’m at a point in my life, I know what I want. I’ve dated a lot, I’ve done a lot, I did this, I did that. Young, old. So, if I wasn’t happy and content and feeling good in my situation, I’m not wasting my time. I’d rather be at home namaste. In bed by 9 o’clock, doing my own thing if I’m not happy. I’m in a good place.”

Per TMZ and PEOPLE, Rodriguez claims that Tyler Perry made several advances, with the last one allegedly taking place in April 2019. One of these alleged encounters included the Madea star allegedly grabbing his privates.

But despite these disturbing allegations and Rodriguez claiming that Perry would “randomly reach out to” him “through 2024,” there’s some alleged evidence that makes things interesting.

Both outlets, including The Neighborhood Talk, obtained alleged text messages from Rodriguez hitting up Tyler around Thanksgiving 2024.

They allegedly see the accuser refer to Tyler as a “friend” and “bro.” One alleged message says, “Just know that I love you and I thank you for everything. I appreciate you to the moon.” Rodriguez then allegedly says, “You got my Mexican a*s out of a lot of bad places and I just wanna tell you thank you.”

Who Is Tyler Perry’s Sexual Assault Accuser?

Perry allegedly responds after a total of four alleged texts from Rodriguez. “Happy Thanksgiving my friend. Yeap you’ve been through it. I’m glad you’re doing well. You don’t have to give me a thing or pay me a thing. I’m just glad you’re good.”

But Rodriguez allegedly didn’t stop. As recent as August of this year, he allegedly vented about his financial and health concerns. At one point, the actor allegedly asks for some sort of help even though he allegedly promised him he wouldn’t.

One alleged text says, “Brother haven’t been feeling OK confused and lil nauseous. I got blood work thinks its my teeth. I know it’s none of your business idk what do I know I promised you I would never ask you for anything, but if it what I think it is, I don’t think I could do it on my own because I barely pay my bills scared af.”

Rodriguez allegedly adds, “I don’t want to get sepsis like my dad and pass away I don’t even wanna mention it because I don’t wanna make it real.”

Based on the screenshots of this alleged text chain, it doesn’t seem like Tyler responded.

In the lawsuit, Rodriguez claims he met Tyler in 2015 through his trainer at a gym in L.A. That interaction landed him a role as “Frat Guy #10” in Boo! A Madea Halloween. 

Alex Spiro, Tyler’s rep, has said, “This is nothing but a 77-million-dollar money grab scam.”

When The Neighborhood Talk posted the clip on Instagram, fans largely used the opportunity to troll Blueface. “No, you opened your Walgreens mouth and started lying on that girl,” one user wrote. Another added: “We can name 5 Soulja boy songs…we can only name 1 of yours…humble yourself.”

Blueface’s Defamation Case

A post shared by The Neighborhood Talk (@theneighborhoodtalk)

Jackilyn Martinez filed her lawsuit against Blueface, back in December 2023, after the rapper claimed that he could be the father of her child with Soulja Boy. “As a result of Porter’s wrongful conduct and the defamatory statements, I have and continue to suffer severe emotional and mental distress, including depression, anxiety, panic attacks (and) crying spells …” Martinez stated in a prior declaration viewed by MyNewsLA.

In other news, Blueface has been making headlines for his new relationship with Nevaeh Akira. During another recent stream, he chatted with her about how many other rappers she has dated. “How many rappers have you slept with? Including me,” Blue asked, as caught by Livebitez.

She answered: “I’m not saying that on this Live. I’m sorry. That’s very confidential. He already knows it, though. So I’m not going out of my way. So you want me to ask you serious questions like that too? But that’s not for the social media. I just don’t feel like that’s something for me to tell the world. They’re normal f***ing people! Now you know it ain’t higher. Everything’s past tense. Oh my God, you are really asking me these types of questions. This is being toxic, I’m telling you.”
