With No Due Respect – Album by Foggieraw

Gabriel Bras Nevares — Fri, 27 Feb 2026 16:47:02 +0000

Ghana-born, Maryland-raised MC Foggieraw has spent the past few years finding his hip-hop voice, and his new album With No Due Respect is a great result from this process. Across 17 tracks, he enlists guests KARRAHBOOO, Larry June, John Legend, Dave James, Gwen Bunn, and Ari Lennox to paint a vivid and expansive picture of his balanced and duality-focused artistry. While this album’s sound is not really bombastic by any means, it still packs an impactful punch thanks to some striking lyricism and intimate moments of improvisation and poetry. It’s Foggieraw’s most compelling artistic statement to date in many fans’ eyes, and we can’t wait to hear him grow even more after this definitive LP.

Celina Powell Warns Deshae Frost With Legal Action For “Infected” Lips Stunt

Gabriel Bras Nevares — Fri, 27 Feb 2026 16:31:08 +0000

Deshae Frost knows how to play Internet games of going viral, joking around, and seizing the moment. But it might just get him a lawsuit from Celina Powell. During a recent call with DJ Akademiks, she said she has plans to sue the streamer and entertainer for joking that a kiss from her gave him herpes, and allegedly doubling down.

In a clip caught from Ak’s recent livestream by joebuddenclips/fanpage on Twitter, she said that Frost claimed (whether jokingly or otherwise) that she gave him herpes and that she sexually assaulted him with the kiss during their recent livestream. For those unaware, he had appeared on his stream after the kiss with prosthetic makeup showing a fake lesion around his lips.

Deshae Frost, on the other hand, denied that he explicitly said Powell gave him herpes, and that she knew about the lips joke. However, Celina claims that he asked her to kiss him before. Akademiks asked her why they streamed in the first place, and she said he “crossed a line” beyond just looking for viral clips, clip-farming, and joking around. Celina Powell said she wanted to give Deshae a pass and be a good sport about his trolling, but his alleged double-downs on the situation, plus the lips joke, convinced her otherwise.

“My lawyers are hungry for this right now, they are ready to go,” she told her former fling. “My lawyer was reading a bunch of lists of laws that he broke. She sent me a draft about the lawsuit… I went today and got tested for everything to go along with the lawsuit. And then we can proceed.”

Who Has Celina Powell Dated?

DJ Akademiks joked that Powell’s cough was a result of the kiss, which led her to joke about Ak being part of the lawsuit, too. We’ll see if this actually leads to legal action against Deshae Frost in any way.

For those unaware, Celina Powell’s dating history includes either confirmed connections or alleged flings with DJ Akademiks himself, YBN Nahmir, Young Thug, Snoop Dogg, 6ix9ine, and more. However, many of these relationships, such as Offset, never saw outright confirmation from both parties.

In the case of that alleged ‘Set fling, Powell posted a video of someone appearing to be Offset sleeping next to her. With many of her claims in the background, we will see if Deshae Frost gets a lawsuit over these jokes and claims.

Wiz Khalifa Loses Appeal Over Romanian Drug Possession Sentence

Zachary Horvath — Fri, 27 Feb 2026 16:05:24 +0000

Wiz Khalifa’s chances of dodging his drug possession sentence in Romania just became a whole lot slimmer. Unfortunately, the Pittsburgh rapper was not able to overturn the ruling. Per CBS News, the Constanta Court of Appeal rejected his appeal, which was filed last month.

As a result, a nine-month stint overseas is certainly on the table. Initially, this wasn’t the case, though. In fact, it seemed for a moment that the “We Dem Boyz” hitmaker was going to get by with just a fine. A lower court issued him a criminal fine of 3,600 lei, or $830, last April for “illegal possession of dangerous drugs.”

However, prosecutors were able to successfully appeal that decision, hitting him with this punishment in December. Overall, Romania has some of the strictest drug laws in all of Europe. Possession of cannabis for recreational use can carry a minimum of three months or a max of two years, or just a fine.

Prosecutors said Wiz had 18 grams or more of cannabis on him during the Beach Please! Festival in Continesti.

When Was Wiz Khalifa Arrested In Romania?

He performed there in July 2024 along with a host of other superstar rappers. Unfortunately, his evening didn’t end on a high note as he was arrested on site. He apologized to the country on social media afterwards and commended the authorities for being “respectful.”

“Last nights show was amazing. I didn’t mean any disrespect to the country of Romania by lighting up on stage. They were very respectful and let me go. I’ll be back soon. But without a big a*s joint next time,” he joked.

But things are much more serious now. As of yet, it’s unclear if Romanian officials will file an extradition request. However, there is also a possibility the United States could save him. Typically, they refuse such requests for non-violent drug offenses, even more so when foreign penalties are harsher than American standards.

ASAP (Remix) Song by Mya & 21 Savage

Alexander Cole — Fri, 27 Feb 2026 16:04:43 +0000

Mya has a hit on her hands with the “ASAP” and it was practically begging for a high-profile remix. That is exactly what we got thanks to 21 Savage, who provides a spirited verse on this new remix. Overall, these two voices work well together. You have the monotone rap stylings of 21, who sounds good on these R&B tracks. Meanwhile, you have Mya, who, of course, sounds fantastic on her own track. While not everyone would expect this collab, it is clear that this was the right move for everyone involved.

Release Date: February 27, 2026

Genre: Hip-Hop

Album: N/A

Quotable Lyrics from ASAP (Remix)

You know we need to talk, pick up your phone, I done called 30 times
You tryin’a ignore me, actin’ tough, I know you somewhere cryin’
Give me inspiration, think about you when I write my rhymes
If she got diamonds all over her body then you know she mine

Business As Usual – Album by Le$

Gabriel Bras Nevares — Fri, 27 Feb 2026 15:54:30 +0000

Houston’s own Le$ knows how to balance easy-riding rhythms and flows with some more lyrically engaging performances. For him, that’s always Business As Usual. The Texas MC’s new album is yet another example of that, bolstered by some particularly bright sample work and a brief yet consistent nine-cut tracklist with a lot of personality within. It’s a very mellow and pleasant listen, prioritizing catchiness, lush production mixes, and measured paces to intoxicate the listener. Le$ always deserves more flowers than he tends to get in hip-hop, but it’s also clear that this low-key consistency is what makes him a beloved name in the game. Hopefully the prolific artist has even more feel-good rap music to share soon.

Release Date: February 24, 2026

California Supreme Court Decides If They Will Uphold Tory Lanez’s Conviction

Gabriel Bras Nevares — Fri, 27 Feb 2026 15:41:46 +0000

Tory Lanez and his legal team allegedly reacted to some conspiracy theories that DJ Vlad mocked about his Megan Thee Stallion shooting case. That was earlier this month, but that made some folks forget about his actual appeal efforts to overturn his conviction and void his prison sentence. Sadly for Lanez, he’s not finding success in this area.

As reported by KESQ 3, on Wednesday (February 25), the California Supreme Court rejected a petition from his defense team asking them to review the case. Last November, a three-justice panel from the state’s Second District Court of Appeals argued that there was “more than sufficient [evidence] to support the jury’s finding that [Lanez] personally inflicted great bodily injury on” Megan. This was despite his legal team’s claims that the trial experienced various errors and that supposed new evidence allegedly proved otherwise.

We will see if the Canadian artist and his lawyers continue to seek change via the appeals process. They have not slowed down thus far, but each new attempt falls to the wayside. Some of these arguments concern alleged procedural mistakes during the trial, whereas others accuse evidence of being either insufficient, misleading, or exploited.

When Did Tory Lanez Go To Jail?

A post shared by The Neighborhood Talk (@theneighborhoodtalk)

For those unaware, Tory Lanez’s Megan Thee Stallion shooting case stems from a shooting incident in July of 2020, when he shot her after a Hollywood Hills party. Authorities took him into jail custody following his conviction in December of 2022, which followed a house arrest stint, bail-outs, and other legal matters.

In August of the following year, Lanez received his ten-year prison sentence for the shooting. His parole eligibility reportedly opens in September of 2029, with a current expected release date of around 2033 given the sentence and other factors. The Brampton singer and rapper is currently behind bars at the California Men’s Colony facility in San Luis Obispo.

However, not all of Tory Lanez’s updates are legal. He and his music continue to make waves in the discourse, such as Hitmaka’s recent claims that they originally wrote Wiz Khalifa’s “See You Again.” That was ironic considering how Tory had called the producer out days before that old clip went viral again.

Keychain – Song by Aespa & Anderson .Paak

Alexander Cole — Fri, 27 Feb 2026 15:13:53 +0000

K-POPS is a new film that is going to be coming out soon, and there is going to be a major soundtrack for this movie. The latest song to drop from it is called “Keychain,” and as it turns out, it is a collaboration from Aespa and Anderson .Paak. Hip-Hop fans might enjoy this song due to Anderson’s contributions. However, it is pretty clear that this is one of those songs that is trying to make a statement with its pop sensibilities. This is not going to be for everyone, and the song is already aware of that. Having said that, there is quite a bit of merit here. If you’re curious, this can be a fun listen.

Release Date: February 27, 2026

Quotable Lyrics from Keychain

Thinking I should let you know right away

But trying to be my man, boy, not today
You just gotta know your place
