As caught by 6ixBuzzTV on Twitter, Charlamagne Tha God joked that someone from OVO may have made a call to get them off the air once they started speaking about Drake. “He’s not as popular as y’al think, by the way. Just to let you all know,” the female caller expressed.

TBC pushed back, pointing to the OVO mogul’s commercial success. “I’m a hater, but I can’t lie,” Charlamagne joked.

“No, no, listen. In Toronto, he’s not as big as you guys think he is,” the woman continued. “Not everybody in Toronto loves that man as much as everybody says. If you actually Google him, he’s never done anything for Toronto. He’s never donated money to a hospital, he’s never helped the homeless, he’s never helped the poverty school. He’s never done anything for Toronto. Except at a basketball game. If you actually look it up.”

The cohosts refrained from chiming in too hard, as they are not from Toronto. But we’re sure plenty of locals will have a lot to say, as they are already debating online.

Toronto Mayor Praises Drake

This is also a pretty ironic conversation given recent remarks about Drake from Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow. “Thank you my crodi Crolivia Chow! ICEMAN 2026,” he wrote in a notepad. The Toronto superstar had filmed parts of his ICEMAN livestream at Chow’s office.

“Drake has done so much for the city,” she said of him during a broadcast interview with CityNews. “The world was watching, and he’s making us proud… Think about how many people, outside Toronto, are watching [the ICEMAN rollout]. It’s a promotion for the city and his music. It’s not just Canadians, it’s worldwide.”

Elsewhere, Drake’s Toronto connection comes up in other ways. DJ Akademiks recently peddled the idea that Kendrick Lamar sent police to his house during Kendrick’s Toronto concert.

Miami recently revealed that she attempted to get Drake to jump on her song, “Take Me To Chanel” during an appearance on Cam Newton’s Funky Friday podcast.

“​​I was trying to get Drake… on the song,” the “Spend Dat” rapper said during the interview. “Like, I remember DMing him, but that’s at the time when he was going through all his shit. And when people are going through their shit, like, I get it. I understand. It’s just like, ‘I gotta focus on me right now,’ because these people trying to take me out. I can understand that, so I didn’t take it personally.”

Drake didn’t flat out ignore her, though. He just didn’t respond in the way she wanted. 

“I was like, Drake, I think you would sound good on ‘Take Me to Chanel,’” she remembered telling him in the message. “ He just liked the message. I’m like, come on now, don’t do that, Drake. Don’t do that now. Because, when you called me, I was there. But nah, I fuck with Drake. I understand.”

Yung Miami Makes A Second Attempt To Get A Drake Verse

“I really get under skin, ask Un how I’m playing,” he rapped last weekend, presumably against Kanye West. In response, Dame told his understanding of that infamous story, claiming it was over Biggie’s girlfriend Charli Baltimore. Jay and Un allegedly got with Baltimore following Big’s death, and Dash claims this is the root of the 1999 incident.

“Is that not the corniest s**t in the world?” Dame Dash asked. “Of all the things to stab a n***a over, over Biggie’s girl is crazy. And I had to deal with this dumb s**t. My crew was like, ‘Yo, these n***as is corny.’ It was a lot of other bulls**t behind it. But it’s corny… Is that not scumbag s**t? You’re a fan of a n***a that would f**k his best friend’s girl when he dies? This is your mans. Go ask Un. They was both hitting it, pillow-talking to each other. It was so corny… After we just did “Hard Knock Life.” That’s corny, right? It looks like a guy with a stupid afro and no mustache when he’s 60 would do some dumb s**t like that. That’s exactly the type of s**t this dude used to do. And I used to have to still pretend he was cool.”

Charli Baltimore Speaks Out

For those unaware, the story of Jay-Z and Lance “Un” Rivera is the subject of heated debate. One possible explanation is this Charli Baltimore connection, whereas another is that Jay was angry with Un for allegedly bootlegging his Vol. 3… Life and Times of S. Carter album for sale before its official release.

Charli Baltimore claimed in the past that Un has changed his story a lot over time, at some points claiming it wasn’t Hov who stabbed him. We will see if she reacts to these recent heated discussions about the infamous 1999 confrontation.

The rapper has been trying to regain his footing in an attempt to tour again. He’s faced pushback in Europe and in the U.S. According to WFLA, Senator Rick Scott has pushed for the Raymond James Stadium operators in Tampa to cancel the show. This is largely due to Ye’s praise of Nazis and Hitler.

“West’s remarks are vile and a slap in the face to our state’s Jewish community,” Scott wrote. “It is troubling that a stadium supported by taxpayer dollars would openly subsidize an event led by an artist known for pushing this dangerous, hateful rhetoric, especially with Florida having one of the largest Jewish populations in our country.”

Ye’s performance in Tampa this month will mark his first time performing in the city since 2016. Although Scott feels as though Ye doesn’t have a place to perform in Florida, the people living in that state probably don’t feel the same way. The demand for his June 26 show was so high that another date was added on June 29.

Rick Scott Wants To Ban Kanye

Ahead of sending this message to the Raymond James Stadium, Scott made his issues with Ye clear on X. “Kanye West’s repeated antisemitic remarks are vile and unacceptable,” he wrote. “Antisemitism is plaguing this country, and he has been a big part of the problem for years. He doesn’t deserve a stage to spread his hate anywhere, especially Florida.”

It seems unlikely that Ye’s upcoming show will get cancelled, especially since efforts elsewhere in the world have failed. Sound off with your thoughts in the comments.

As caught by Stag on Twitter, Budden’s cohosts teased him for Big Mama’s clap-back, with Sasha positing he was talking about her flow and not her actual bars. Parks and the crew also joked about never seeing an MC write verses on a whiteboard before, but they affirmed everyone has their own creative process.

As for Joe Budden’s specific response, he said he’s not trying to be funny, acknowledging that somebody not writing their raps is a “heavy accusation.” But he said he never meant to specifically accuse Latto of this, counting down her previous prowess. Rather, Budden spoke on “listening to somebody so much that their influence kind of rubs off on you when you write. She could really listen to Drake 24/7 and loves that flow so much that now, when she writes, that’s what’s happening. I wasn’t trying to say she don’t write her s**t.”

In addition, he recalled when he was mainly a rapper, trying his best not to hear other rappers due to that risk of influence and inspiration. Ish praised the Atlanta-based femcee and pointed out how the 6ix God has been “the biggest artist of her lifetime,” being a north star. In fact, he even pointed out how, prior to Drake and Joe Budden’s beef, The Boy took inspiration from the Slaughterhouse lyricist.

Joe Budden Responds To Latto

The JBP pointed out how Drake inspires and influences many other rappers, so specifically dogging on Latto for this is disingenuous. “Latto, I’m sorry,” Budden said. “I wasn’t trying to imply that, I wasn’t trying to play with your pen like that. I get how it sounded like that. So my bad.”

We will see if there’s another chapter in this saga or if this is the end of the road. Latto has other Big Mama narratives to worry about, whether it’s her diss towards Cardi B or her relationship with 21 Savage.

The beef, however, centered around Adam22 and Wack100’s conversation on Sauce Walka and Drake’s supposed conflict over Lossen. Sauce ended up calling out Adam22, as well, and that only caused the No Jumper founder to fire back in his own way. 

“When one door closes, another one opens,” he captioned his latest Instagram post, a photo of himself posing on set with Lossen, who’s subtly rocking some OVO merch.

It seems inevitable that a tell-all interview will come out of this, but it also comes at a particularly interesting time for Adam22. The podcast host made headlines earlier this week after reports emerged that his wife, Lena The Plug, filed for divorce and asked the court for legal custody of their child.

Did Lena The Plug File For Divorce From Adam22?

It turns out that she didn’t actually file for divorce after all, and the entire thing was a hoax. After Lena and Adam22 joked about it on social media, she later issued a statement that debunked the false headlines, revealing that a stalker actually filed it on her behalf. 

“About a month ago, I opened my mailbox and discovered that someone had been repeatedly attempting to file for divorce on my behalf using forged signatures. It was incredibly unsettling,” she wrote on Instagram. “I became even more concerned when I realized the name on the filing matched the same person who had previously requested multiple wellness checks on me. Based on guidance from law enforcement, I filed a police report for identity theft.”

She revealed that it didn’t actually stop anything from happening and that the filing was eventually accepted. “For anyone wondering: I am not getting divorced. I love my husband, and I love our life together,” she continued. “My genuine belief is that the person responsible thinks they are helping me because they have been misled by someone online pretending to be me. This situation is RIDICULOUS and I can’t believe it’s real life.”

Codefendant Xavier “Baby Maxx” Jones reportedly entered a guilty plea on these same charges. More specifically, they are one count of machine gun possession and one count of marijuana possession with intent to distribute.

However, this plea deal meant that prosecutors dropped other charges they initially pursued against the Stockton rapper. Jaaybo also faced one count each of firearm possession by a person with a felony conviction, gun transportation in interstate commerce while under indictment, possession of a stolen firearm, and machine gun possession in furtherance of drug trafficking crimes.

As far as EBK Jaaybo’s potential sentence, earlier reports suggested he could face up to 30 years behind bars if convicted on his charges. However, this plea deal could change things, and the court will officially sentence him at a later, unspecified date. The gun charge specifically carries a maximum of a ten-year prison sentence.

What Happened To EBK Jaaybo?

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by XXL (@xxl)

For those unaware, authorities arrested EBK Jaaybo in Arkansas in May of last year while on the way to his XXL Freshman Class shoot. Per court records, police conducted a traffic stop and found a Glock pistol with illegal modifications, around five ounces of marijuana, and $8,534 in cash.

Later, investigators reportedly found the gun police found in the California MC’s car had been used two months prior in a non-fatal shooting. The victim was Bay Area rapper DreamLlife Rizzy, who allegedly had a feud with Jaaybo. However, that case is still ongoing, so it’s unclear how it could impact the EBK artist’s situation.

In the court document XXL shared of the guilty plea, there is no mention of a connection to the Rizzy shooting. Instead, it only mentions the machine gun possession and marijuana possession with intent to distribute charges. The connection to that shooting is what preempted the potential 30-year prison sentence. But following the plea deal, the final sentence might be different.

According to TMZ, an alleged source reportedly connected to the situation told the outlet that Evins contacted Ventura’s team with some information about her ex. Evins has reportedly been dealing with Howard in court for years and reached out to the singer’s team following his lawsuit against Ventura.

The alleged source reportedly recounted Francyna’s comments to Cassie, which claimed the male escort filed various frivolous lawsuits in the past. This includes an unspecified but ongoing one against Evins. Ventura’s team reportedly used some of this information in their motion to dismiss the lawsuit.

The motion reportedly described Howard as “no stranger to the legal system” for the purposes of “pursuing personal vendettas against and to rectify perceived wrongs committed by individuals.” Also, it pointed to an alleged “pattern and practice of filing abusive and frivolous lawsuits” against various individuals and groups in recent years.

Clayton Howard’s Lawsuit

For those unaware, Clayton Howard’s lawsuit against Cassie and Diddy claims they hired him to have sexual relations with her during the “freak-offs.” Howard also alleged he contracted an STD from Ventura and got her pregnant, leading to an alleged abortion. He testified during the Bad Boy mogul’s federal criminal case last year, now claiming the former couple sexually abused him and caused mental anguish.

Cassie denied these claims from Clayton Howard, alleging Howard sent her husband Alex Fine a supportive message after she accused Puff of abuse. “I know your wife’s truth is 100% valid as I’m sure you did as well, I would have come forward and I’m glad she got some form of Justice!” he allegedly wrote. We will see if this lawsuit changes, moves forward, or faces dismissal from the court.
