He’ll also dabble in pop culture/gossip news as well. While Gabrielle “Gigi” Alayah and Kai Cenat haven’t been making major waves lately, Tekashi 6ix9ine still decided to send some shots.

He’s sights were completely set on Gigi, who broke up with the streamer/fashion designer in late December 2025. In the clip below, caught by Akademiks TV, the rapper, who appears to be conversing with DJ Vlad, gets on the subject of Gigi and her looks.

6ix9ine asks to see a picture of Gigi and a Cuban girl side by side. He then asks DJ Vlad to rate both of them on a scale from 1-10, which is kind of weird considering the latter is 52 and she’s 22.

Anyway, the interviewer says Gigi is “a nickel” whereas the “normal-looking” Cuban woman is around a seven or eight.

This completely send 6ix9ine as he bursts into laughter for a good while.

6ix9ine’s Trolling History

If this harsh critique feels random, it’s actually not. Days after Cenat revealed he was single, the “GUMMO” artist came to the streamer’s support by talking down on Gigi. “I would speak to him if that was my boy. That b*tch is hit. That b*tch is ugly as f*ck. You being at your level, you shouldn’t even be with that b*tch,” he said.

He then told Kai he would bring him to Miami and find another girl to replace Gigi with.

As we said earlier though, 6ix9ine has been back to his trolling ways as soon as he reentered society. For example, he taunted Offset and Lil Tjay following the news of the former being shot and the latter being arrested in connection to that shooting.

Moreover, he ripped into Gucci Mane and those trying to defend his song “CRASH DUMMY.” That song has widely been regarded as the 1017 CEO’s statement to the feds and his way of snitching on Pooh Shiesty.

He put Guwop on blast writing, “WHY YOU ALWAYS GOT TO SAY SOMETHING??? IM THE ONLYYYYYYY PERSON THAT CAN SPEAK ON THIS EVERYYYYYTIMMMMMME. YALL BLACKBALLED ME AND TRY TO TAKE FOOD FROM MY FAMILYS MOUTH WHEN YALL KNEW ALL THE FACTSSS!!! FOR 5 YEARS I EXPOSED THE RAP GAME BUT BECAUSE IM NOT BLACK I GET A DIFFERENT TREATMENT (that itself hurts some of you because THE TRUTH hurts) SUCK MY D**K.”

“Stall them out. That’s my advice,” Akademiks says in one clip from the stream. “I think every day Drake don’t drop, it makes another f*cking hater realize he was a f*cking fan all along. Every day Drake doesn’t drop, another b*tch ass n***a that started hating in the last year realizes he’s a f*cking fan. You know why? Because he doesn’t have anything to talk about, nothing to listen to, and all he keeps talking about is what he thinks Drake’s gonna do or not do. F*cking fan, be a fan.”

Drake’s “Iceman” Album

A post shared by Akademiks TV (@djakademikstv)

Drake has been teasing the release of his album, Iceman, for nearly a year. He shared the first single from the project, “What Did I Miss?,” in July 2025. In the following months, he dropped “Which One” featuring Central Cee, and “Dog House” featuring Yeat and Julia Wolf.

Over the weekend, Drake’s courtside seats at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto were covered in icicles as the Raptors played against the Brooklyn Nets. He didn’t comment on the move, but it was an obvious nod that Iceman is imminent.

Before that, Drake hinted that Iceman is”coming soon” at the Juno Awards. In doing so, he recorded a video message for Nelly Furtado that played at the event. “To the Junos, because you are honouring one of my dearest friends tonight, I will spare you, even though I know you’re still thinking about those six awards that you gave to Shad in 2011 when you snubbed ‘Take Care’ as I hosted the 40th anniversary of your award show,” he joked. “But listen, that’s neither here nor there. Tonight we’ll let it go. This is about Nelly. And one thing Nelly knows, you know my love is real. You know my love is true. I love you. Have a great night. Enjoy your hall of fame status. It’s long overdue. Kill the performance. We love you dog. Iceman coming soon.”

According to court documents obtained by Page Six, the Instagram model alleges that Edwards has “deliberately concealed and misrepresented his California connections under oath.” To clarify this, Howard claims he’s been “intentionally” hiding assets to avoid child support obligations.

She filed a request for order in child support in the Los Angeles Superior Court Thursday, April 9. Howard claims she “discovered evidence” that reveals Edwards has a “substantial and ongoing business and financial presence in the State of California.”

Howard listed what those assets were, highlighting a business LLC and trademarks registered in California. Next is business infrastructure principled addressed and operational activities within the state. Additionally, she alleges he has a bank account located in Beverly Hills and past and present sports agency contracts connected to California-based sports representatives.

Ayesha Howard & Anthony Edwards Court Case

Her documents also state that the Minnesota Timberwolves shooting guard has “maintained a business, financial, contractual, and economic presence in California for approximately six years.”

This, per her filing, fulfills the “minimum contact and purposeful availment doctrine for an out-of-state parent and nexus to support obligation in a child support proceeding.”

This is all very interesting as previously, Edwards claimed that the state of California “lacked personal jurisdiction over him” and that he had no ties of any variety there.

Because of these allegedly accurate findings, Howard wants her child support order updated. That means she’s seeking more money from Edwards.

Throughout this lengthy legal war, the 24-year-old All-Star has shown no interest in raising their child together. Howard slammed him for this, right after he accused her of turning their custody case into “public entertainment” in addition to allegedly using their kid as a “revenue-generating asset.”

She clapped back online writing in part, “Whole time it’s two pictures of my daughter on my page but claiming that I post our baby in distress. As if you actually know her moods when you’ve never met or seen her outside of Instagram pictures is sick!”

“We love you. I think you’re one of the greatest artists that has ever come out of Atlanta. This is not based on hate, but right now, n***a, you must be Stevie Wonder because you can’t hit a motherf*cking thing. You seem blind. That ain’t it,” he said. “He dropped a snippet. This sh*t was garbage. I know Charleston White can’t see in one eye. Young Thug can’t hear in one ear.”

Further details on the new song remain unclear. Thug dropped his latest album, UY Scuti, back in September 2025. It marked his first full-length release since getting out of jail in the YSL RICO case.

Young Thug’s Coachella Performance

The snippet arrives after Young Thug appeared at Coachella over the weekend. For his show, he performed a bevy of his most popular tracks, including “Mamacita,” “Check,” “Digits,” “Havana,” “Pick Up the Phone,” and “Hot,” among others.

While on stage, he also took the time to shout out North West and Teyana Taylor. “What’s up, North? How you doing? Where [are] your parents?” he asked. “I want y’all to make some noise for North. She in this motherf*cker. Like, you just casually out, just casually having fun. Like, what are you doing?” As for Taylor, he added that he’s been trying to “get in touch with her” for the last month. “I wanted her to style me, man. She just too big. [She] wasn’t calling back,” he said.

Thug’s performance was part of the first weekend of Coachella 2026. The festival began on Friday with tons of other high-profile artists performing throughout the weekend as well. Sexyy Red, Swae Lee, Ethel Cain, Fakemink, Justin Bieber, BIA, Addison Rae, Oklou, Clipse, Geese, and more artists took the stage. The festival will continue with even more sets, next weekend.

At the same time, the Louisville, Kentucky rapper and singer sparked backlash. For example, it really confused and irritated TDE’s CEO, Punch. “Got Blacker is wild. How exactly does one get ‘Blacker?'” he said on Twitter.

Overall, it was probably not the outcome Harlow wanted for this project, especially with his previous work, Jackman., dropping three years prior.

But it’s the reality that he created for himself. It seems though that the 28-year-old has been a good sport about it or he’s just ignoring the jokes and harsh criticisms.

However, it just got a whole lot more inescapable as Saturday Night Live decided to pile on this past weekend. During the fan-favorite “Weekend Update” segment with Colin Jost and Michael Che, “Jack Harlow” came on to discuss Monica and the conversations around it.

It’s actually SNL cast member Ben Marshall. But even for those who have seen Harlow recently via interviews, his impersonation is eerily (but hilariously) spot on. It almost makes you do a double take.

Jack Harlow Monica First Week Sales

From the way he talks, to his mannerisms, and to the neo-soul-inspired outfit that Harlow dons for album cover, it’s all done really well. During the “interview,” Marshall acknowledges all of the nicknames, listing out some of his favorites. He also tries to freestyle, which goes hysterically wrong as all he can muster is “Boop, boop-di-boop.”

But to really hammer the joke home, Marshall plays up how he thinks Harlow would act around Black people. For example, he goes in for a dap but tries to kiss Che’s hand in the process. “Can never get that part right,” Marshall says.

He also explains he thinks R&B stands for. “Rhymin’-N’-Boppin’. Rural-N’-Blessed. Real-Nice-Boy. Raised Near (but not with) Black people.”

Then, to put a bow on it all, Che drops the N-word after he tries to get Marhsall to recognize how Monica sounds like that derogatory word when you say it slowly.

While Harlow is still getting attention during this new album cycle, it mostly hasn’t been positive, of course. That’s also sadly applied to the first week sales, which saw the project fail to reach 20,000 units (19,217) and debut at 36 on the Hot 200.

Many fans have been loving the style change. “That’s not a bad look. Coachella is living up to its billing with the great acts and performances and appearances of guests,” one user wrote on X (formerly Twitter) in response to Kurrco. Another added: “Sh*t dope asf, I still miss when 5 had the pink and purple dreads.”

Others weren’t loving the look. “I don’t fuk wit this braids tho but I fuk with thug,” one fan admitted, while another replied, “looks a f*cking mess thank god his music is godly.”

Young Thug’s Coachella Set

As for the rest of Young Thug’s set at Coachella, he performed several of his most iconic songs. They included “Mamacita,” “Check,” “Digits,” “Havana,” “Pick Up the Phone,” and “Hot,” among others.

At one point, Thug stopped his show to shout out Kanye West and Kim Kardashian’s daughter, North West, who was in attendance. “What’s up, North? How you doing? Where [are] your parents?” he asked.

“I want y’all to make some noise for North,” Thug continued. “She in this motherf*cker. Like, you just casually out, just casually having fun. Like, what are you doing?”

Thug also turned the spotlight to Teyana Taylor, revealing that he’s been trying to “get in touch with her” for the last month. “I wanted her to style me, man. She just too big. [She] wasn’t calling back,” he said.

Thug’s performance was part of the first weekend of Coachella 2026, which kicked off on Friday. Tons of other high-profile artists performed at the event as well. Sexyy Red, Swae Lee, Ethel Cain, Fakemink, Justin Bieber, BIA, Addison Rae, Oklou, Clipse, Geese, and more artists took the stage.

“Do I identify as an Incel? I mean, how could you ask me that question as a follow-up after you asked me about my relationships to women? I mean, that’s quite literally the worst sequence of questions I think I’ve ever heard,” Clavicular responded to the question.

From there, Hegarty clarified that “Looksmaxxing” is “a term created by the Incel community.” Clavicular countered: “I’m not linked to that group in any way. Looksmaxxing is self-improvement, right? So it’s about potentially even ascending out of that category. So that would be kind of one of the goals is to disassociate from being an incel and overcome that. That doesn’t make sense.”

Clavicular’s Relationship With Andrew Tate

Hegarty then brought up Andrew Tate and other controversial figures that Clavicular has associated with in recent years. “I see you want to make this political,” Clavicular responded. “I guess you watched the Piers Interview. Too bad I didn’t have time to look into, you know, anything about potentially, you know, who your wife cheated with.”

When Hegarty noted that he isn’t married, Clavicular ended the interview after remarking: “So I could teach you about looksmaxxing, and then maybe you could switch that up. Thanks for the time, appreciate the interview.”

Last year, Clavicular made headlines when a video of him listening to Kanye West’s song “Heil Hitler” alongside Sneako, Andrew Tate, and Myron Gaines at a club in Miami went viral online. Several local club owners banned the group from their venues in response to the antics.

Clavicular has dealt with multiple legal issues in 2026, having been arrested for allegedly using a fake ID and being under suspicion of drug possession in February. Within a week, authorities dropped those charges. Police arrested him again, last month, on battery charges for an alleged altercation with his girlfriend and another woman.

There was some cause to pause in JB’s case especially given his recent health issues both physical and mental. As a result, it seems folks online were generating rumors about who the Canadian singer’s stand in was going to be.

SZA’s name was thrust into this discussion, with the allegation even claiming that she was being paid a hefty sum to be Bieber’s emergency replacement. To be slightly more specific, she was going to get a six-figure check to fill this role.

However, according to the SOS artist herself, that couldn’t be further from the truth.

As caught by Buzzing Pop and Bossip, the TDE signee firmly quieted this rumor under a post alleging this news. “Lmao who made this up? I’ve seen this 4 times now. I’m in New York no one paid me a dime. Wishing everyone the best [red heart emoji],” she wrote.

Perhaps she’s there recording her new album, which she’s been teasing as of recently.

Justin Bieber’s Coachella Performance

But overall, it doesn’t seem like SZA was offended or anything like that. She just wanted to put an end to it for the sake of clearing the air.

It sounds like she’s also supporting Justin Bieber, whose first of two shows at Coachella has proved to be divisive.

If you didn’t see it, the hitmaker, about halfway through his set, whipped out his MacBook and played various music videos for his older songs.

Some have criticized it for being unprofessional and lazy, whereas others feel it was refreshing and personal. Many of his fans have grown up with Bieber since his teenage years and seeing him look back at his work from that era was moving for the die-hards.

While it’s been controversial, we have to imagine many are looking forward to seeing what he’ll do this coming Saturday.

Now, the artist is engaging in some unique antics to show that the album is, in fact, on the horizon. For instance, he recently took to Scotiabank Arena in Toronto with some customized courtside seats. These seats are now covered in icicles, which proves that the album is on the way. For now, a release date remains unknown.

DJ Akdemiks has been a huge cheerleader for this upcoming album. With that in mind, it should come as no surprise that he would have some strong opinions on when the project should be released. However, in the clip below, he offers Drake some advice that some may see as surprising.

DJ Akademiks Gives Drake Advice

You would think Akademiks wants Drake to drop the album right away. Instead, he believes the artist should wait until next year. That way, he can stall out all of those who have been opposing him.

“I’ve given my official advice to Drake… you could drop it in 2027, I like what’s going on. Stall ’em out,” Akademiks explained. “With every single day, we’re having a hater reset. They’re all coming back, they’re like, ‘Drake, I miss you.'”

It is an interesting theory, although it is more likely that Drake ends up coming out with the album sometime in the Summer or the Fall. The artist has been in the studio recording, and with the anticipation buzzing, we expect Drake to act soon.

There is a lot riding on this album. It will be his first solo effort since For All The Dogs back in 2023.

Footage from the fight quickly went viral and heading into this new week, folks are still trying to figure out what caused it to go down. Others though are simply enjoying the content and talking about it just for kicks.

One of the people is Floyd Mayweather’s daughter, Yaya Mayweather. The Shade Room caught her reaction on Twitter and its quite humorous.

Her tweet mainly focused in on Dess Dior, who threw some nasty bows at someone in the clip. Seeing as her father is one of the greatest boxers ever, Yaya likened Dior’s fighting chops to her pop’s.

“Dess was in the club straight walking s**t down… ok dess mayweather [laughing emojis],” she joked.

Dess Dior & Jayda Cheaves Night Club Fight

It’s unclear how long this skirmish actually was, but with the evidence we have, Dess Dior really does hold her own here. Unfortunately for Jayda Cheaves, she was on the wrong end of things.

As you’ll see in the video above, she was getting pinned down by a man while the madness ensued. He looks to be a bodyguard of some sort, so maybe he was holding her back from making things worse.

However, at the same time, she looked to be in serious pain.

As it stands today, it doesn’t appear that Dior or Cheaves have addressed the fight directly. Interestingly, though, the latter did post her and the artist vibing in the car. It’s unclear if this footage was from before or after the fight, though.

For the most part, it seems folks think Cheaves and Dior were fighting back together, rather than battling each other. That makes sense given the aforementioned post from the entrepreneur.

Some are claiming that Cheaves’ ex-friend, Emily Huff, was on the receiving end of Dior or the former’s wrath. But that remains a rumor for now. You may remember Huff’s name from the Ari Fletcher-Lil Baby sleeping rumors. Then, she accused Cheaves of backdooring her so she could shoot her shot with the rapper.
