As caught by Kurrco, there are five major names that have decided to do so. Kali Uchis is one of them, and she had “Crashing” removed from DSPs. Interestingly, this song did belong to the Queens native and appeared on his debut album WITHERED.

However, despite this, Uchis and the teams behind were able to get it off streaming. This has actually been known since the Celeste Rivas investigation got underway in September.

Back then, Uchis responded to some criticizing her for having the song up. However, the Virginia native affirmed that it was being taken down. “Not my friend i did a song with him which is currently in the process of being taken down given today’s disturbing news.”

But with his recent arrest the list has grown or its resurfacing.

Others to join the R&B artist include Laufey, Bryant Barnes, Damiano David, and Holly Humberstone.

D4vd In Jail

Folks in the comments are calling out The Kid LAROI for keeping his song with D4vd up. At the time of writing, their track “THE LINE,” which appeared on a deluxe version of his 2023 album THE FIRST TIME.

This news also surfaces after D4vd’s jail conditions have been revealed. Reportedly, they are far from ideal. Per TMZ, the 21-year-old is isolated from other inmates in a one-person cell. No one can visit him and he only gets three hours of fresh air per week. Overall, in-person interactions have been stripped from him. D4vd also has no access to TV, no money, and can only make phone calls every other day. Same goes for showering.

It’s also very “dirty and smells,” and it’s reportedly a “wild” scene overall. He’s being housed at the L.A. County Men’s Central Jail.

MyNewsLA reports that Nicki’s responses to the plaintiff’s written questions submitted earlier this year allegedly “consisted entirely of vague, repetitive boilerplate objections and were devoid of any substantive information or answers.” His team wants her to pay a fine of nearly $4K to cover the cost the current motion.

As for what Garrett is suing Nicki for in the first place, he accuses the femcee of going off on him during her Pink Friday 2 tour back in 2024. Apparently, he allowed someone else to pick up a prescription he was specifically told to collect.

“Are you f**king crazy having him pick up my prescription? You have lost your f**king mind,” she allegedly told him at the time. “If my husband were here, he would knock out your f**king teeth.”

Brandon Garrett’s Nicki Minaj Lawsuit

“You’re a dead man walking,” she allegedly added. “You just f**ked up your whole life.”

From there, Garrett accuses Nicki of striking him him in the face. Allegedly, she hit him so hard that his neck snapped back and his hat fell off. Fortunately, security was around to intervene before the situation escalated any further.

Garrett alleges that after that, he went and hid in a bathroom for several hours. When he finally came out of the bathroom, he quickly realized that Nicki and her team had allegedly left him stranded in Detroit.

“We are unaware of the specific allegations,” Nicki’s lawyer, Judd Burstein, said about the lawsuit before she was properly served. “However, if the lawsuit is as reported by TMZ, it is completely false and frivolous. We are confident that the matter brought by this ex assistant will be resolved swiftly in Mrs. Petty’s favor.”

However, Cheaves is back under the spotlight, and not for the right reasons. Last night, Cheaves’ former friend, Emily Huff, took to social media with some striking allegations. In a string of social media posts, Huff questioned Cheaves and her religion. She subsequently goes on to say that Cheaves and Lil Baby tried to have her jumped on three separate occasions.

Huff and Cheaves allegedly had a falling out, which then led to the alleged attempts at some sort of attack. These are some extremely heavy claims, although the context around the alleged attempted jumpings is few and far between.

As it turns out, the internet isn’t exactly on Huff’s side with this one. In the comments section over on Live Bitez, fans explained how they truly feel about this situation.

“That’s when you know a person reaching for sympathy bc Emily if she really did all that, why you still online running your mouth?” one person asked. “Leave well enough alone. Some ppl invite & creat they own drama then be mad at the reaction they get in return. Everyone in here speaking ill on Jayda clearly haters themselves.. Emily Jrs.”

Others users echoed these sentiments. “These people come on the internet and say anything smh,” declared one commenter. “I’m so sick of this topic with her like move on already yt girl,” said another.

Needless to say, this situation between Huff and Cheaves continues to escalate. Whether or not they are able to squash this soon is unknown.

As caught by The Shade Room, the Virginia born singer and rapper dropped several fire emojis in her comments section. At the time of writing, it’s racked up over 55,400 likes and over 1,600 replies.

Onaka did catch wind of Brown’s compliment, pinning it to the top and liking it. Folks like Bow Wow have also reacted. He joked, “@chrisbrownofficial you must be stopped [laughing emoji].”

Most people had a similar reaction with some writing things like, “We know bros type.”

This isn’t just spreading like wildfire just because of the comment itself, though. Of course, it is too because Chris Brown and Karrueche were an item during the early 2010s.

Things would eventually fall apart between them in 2015 after numerous allegations, including abuse. It led Karrueche to request a restraining order against Brown, which was granted in 2017. It lasted for five years.

Chris Brown Claps Back At Critic For Thirsting

Despite the tumultuous breakup, they did appear to be having a nice conversation at Coachella last year. It actually sparked some fans to hope and pray for them to reunite. However, Karrueche has been dating Colorado’s head football coach, Deion Sanders, since July 2025.

But this viral Instagram exchange has left some others to not be so amused. As caught by Live Bitez, one user by the name of DoliesTV sounded off on Brown for the maneuver. He labeled him a “lame a*s dude,” a “terrible a*s n****,” and that he makes “bullsh*t a*s music.”

Moreover, he slammed his female fans for continuing to thirst over him despite his sketchy dating past.

Chris Brown caught wind of this backlash and proceeded to call him “hurt” and roast him. “One of his replies read, [laughing emojis] You sound hurt my boy. l’m lame but you thought this was real news to make a post about another n****. Better be lucky I ain’t tryna crack ya mom.”

DoliesTV punched back to one of his responses writing, “@chrisbrownofficial go do that [snowflake emoji nose emoji]. Dats why you not gone ever perform at the Super Bowl lil keep dreaming you gone forever be cancelled.”

In one clip shared by Watch Live Bitez, the child can be seen dancing right next to a scantily clad woman doing pole tricks. Many believe this to be wildly inappropriate. While some are slamming Snoop for letting it happen, others are convinced the child’s parents are at fault.

“No y’all can’t blame Snoop y’all got to blame the parents,” one Instagram user says. “The parents shouldn’t have never allowed the child to come or be on that stage first, secondly he should have had the child escorted off the stage immediately,” another argues. Someone else claims, “Nobody has good sense anymore.”

Snoop Dogg Controversies

A post shared by Watch Live Bitez (@livebitez)

This is far from the only time Snoop Dogg has found himself in hot water in recent years. In September, for example, he got ripped to shreds for some divisive comments he made on the It’s Giving podcast after seeing the Pixar film Lightyear. The film features a lesbian couple, which didn’t sit right with Snoop

“What you see is what you see, they’re putting it everywhere,” he explained at the time. “My grandson in the middle of the movie, like, ‘Papa Snoop, how she have a baby with a woman? She a woman.’ Aw, s**t. I didn’t come here for this s**t, I just came to watch the goddamn movie.”

Before that, the rapper faced backlash for performing at the first-ever Crypto Ball, which celebrated Donald Trump’s return to the White House. He later addressed the outcry on The Breakfast Club, making it clear that he stands by his decision.

“I’m not a politician,” he declared, “I don’t represent the Republican Party. I don’t represent the Democratic Party. I represent the motherf***ing Gangster Party period point blank.”

While on stream last night, Akademiks went through the painstaking task of naming his top 10 rappers. Not his top 10 of all time, but his top 10 of right now. This is not an easy list to generate. After all, there are tons of rappers drifting in and out of relevance these days.

As you will see below, Drake is number one on the list, which should come as a surprise to absolutely no one. Meanwhile, Kendrick Lamar was at number two, which, quite frankly, is a surprise. The biggest omission here was J. Cole, although given Ak’s distaste for the now infamous apology, the ranking makes sense.

DJ Akademiks Reveals His Top 10

The list also contains artists like Playboi Carti, NBA YoungBoy, Kanye West, Future, Travis Scott, Yeat, Lil Uzi Vert, and even Rod Wave. Ultimately, it is a who’s who of contemporary rap. Whether or not you agree with his rankings is going to be an exercise in subjectivity.

Ak’s Top 10:

1. Drake
2. Kendrick Lamar
3. Playboi Carti
4. NBA YoungBoy
5. Ye
6. Future
7. Travis Scott
8. Yeat
9. Uzi
10. Rod Wave

Of course, with ICEMAN on the horizon, there is lots of discourse going around surrounding who is really carrying rap right now. Given the lack of staying power for records like The Fall-Off, it feels as though even the genre’s biggest superstars are having a rough go of it.

If Drake comes through with some big singles and an even bigger album, then perhaps that will change. Until then, there is a lot of uncertainty going around the rap world.

He was the last suspect to be arrested, with Jacksonville police taking him into custody last January after six months on the run. The evidence that prosecutors brought forth to build their argument was video footage of Murphy making potentially incriminating gestures and statements shortly after he was caught.

“That’s Mr. Murphy when he was arrested,” one prosecutor says while confirming his identity by pointing out his distinctive tattoos. “In this video, you will clearly see… Mr. Davion Murphy taking full credit for his role in the shooting. That is just after his arrest, when he is left alone in an interview room.”

What prosecutors are keying in on is Murphy forming a gun with his hands. He pretends he’s shooting, and he also directs his “bullets” towards the camera inside the interrogation room.

Additionally, officials allege he admitted verbally to the murder of Foolio. However, that alleged confession doesn’t appear in the clip we have.

Foolio Murder Trial

A post shared by DJ Akademiks (@akademiks)

According to the outlet, the full video may reach the public soon. But it seems like this will be something that prosecutors use throughout this trial as it presses forward.

Elsewhere during the first day of this second trial, prosecutors also played some of Yungeen Ace’s diss tracks. “Game Over,” “Who I Smoke,” and “When I See You,” were all presented to the jury members.

“You hear him mentioning ‘Mr. 6.’ That is Charles Jones. The Don Julio you keep seeing, the tequila, that is a diss against Charles Jones, whose rap name was Julio Foolio.” a prosecutor alleged.

Murphy is being tried with his three other co-defendants Isaiah Chance, Sean Gathright, and Rashad Murphy. If they are all found guilty, they could face the death penalty.

Drake’s position on the list doesn’t exactly come as a huge surprise, as he’s been dominating the charts for years now. Just a couple of weeks ago, it was even reported that he’s on track to have the biggest streaming year in rap history. He’s already surpassed a whopping 5 billion streams on Spotify in 2026. His streaming success is largely due to the success of massive hits like “One Dance,” “God’s Plan,” “Passionfruit,” and “Hotline Bling,” among others.

The Canadian MC has plenty more where that came from, too. He’s currently gearing up to unveil his long-awaited ninth studio album, ICEMAN. The project is slated for release on May 15.

Spotify’s 20th Anniversary

As for Eminem, his most-streamed tracks include “Without Me,” “Lose Yourself,” “Till I Collapse,” “Mockingbird,” “The Real Slim Shady,” and “Love The Way You Lie.” Kanye West’s top songs are “Heartless,” “N****s In Paris,” “Stronger,” “Flashing Lights,” and “Gold Digger.”

“It’s a definitive look at what the world has actually listened to since Spotify launched,” Spotify said in a statement about the 20th anniversary lists. “Drawn from years of listening across hundreds of millions of fans, these lists capture the music and stories that didn’t just break through, but stayed, becoming part of everyday life around the world.”

The Associated Press has reached out to Spotify to ask for insight into its data collection methodology. It has not been provided at the time of writing.

In the midst of all this, AllStar JR has taken an antagonistic approach to the situation. He dropped a diss track aimed at Ben 10 and J Prince JR. Furthermore, he has taken to social media on numerous occasions, where he has taunted those impacted by the shooting. It has been weird to watch unfold, and it is clear that AllStar JR hasn’t been worried about any potential consequences.

On Wednesday evening, it was reported that AllStar JR may have finally met his legal demise. According to numerous reports on social media, AllStar JR was arrested in California. What makes his arrest all the more interesting is that he was reportedly on his way to a VladTV interview.

AllStar JR Gets Picked Up

The AllStar JR situation is one that many are still trying to make sense of. There is a lot that is unknown about the case. Furthermore, it isn’t exactly clear that the arrest has to do with the Ben 10 shooting. Whatever the case may be, the internet is having a field day with the VladTV angle here.

For those who may not know, for years, there has been this running joke that Vlad is the feds. That his interviews are some sort of honeypot operation to get people to snitch on themselves and others. With AllStar JR’s arrest, people can’t help but make the connection, even if there isn’t one.

Ultimately, this is a complicated story, and one that we are going to keep tabs on going forward. At this time, Ben 10 remains in the hospital due to his injuries. As for AllStar JR, it remains to be seen if and when he will be released from custody.

ICEMAN promises to be Drizzy’s big comeback record. His first solo album since 2023, when he released For All The Dogs. FATD was Drake on autopilot. A messy record that was full of interpersonal drama and very little substance. However, there is this feeling that ICEMAN is going to be the record where the Canadian megastar starts trying again.

The artist has been doing quite a bit to hype this album up. The ice sculpture in Toronto eventually led to the revelation of when the album would be released. Now, Drake is riling up his fans with some cryptic messages on social media.

It is unclear if these messages are lyrics in his upcoming songs or if they are simply some mantras that he is living by.

Drake Sends A Message

“WHEN I CALL YOUR BLUFF MAKE SURE YOU ANSWER ME ON THAT FIRST RING,” Drake wrote. “PLEASE STOP MISTAKING CHAT FOR FACT, REELS FOR REALITY, STREAMING FOR FLOW, AND LIKE FOR LOVE, THANK YOU […] HERE IS SOMETHING YOU CAN ALL CRITICIZE AND PRETEND DOES NOT MAKE YOU FEEL BETTER THAN EVERYTHING.”

Drake has never shied away from being cryptic on his social media accounts. He wouldn’t be who he is without these kinds of “antics.” It is a great way to promote the album, and the artist is well aware of this.

New Music Friday is less than 16 hours away, and fans are anticipating a single. Now would be the time to start showing fans what you’ve got in the chamber. If Drake is truly confident in his album, then we could very well get a single sooner than you may think. No matter what, we will be listening.
