According to new legal docs, Los Angeles prosecutors hit the mother of one with two misdemeanor charges in December for allegedly driving on a suspended license in Hermosa Beach, California. She was supposed to appear in court for a hearing over a traffic ticket last month. Allegedly, she didn’t show up, resulting in the warrant.

At the time of writing, Chrisean has yet to publicly address her latest legal woes.

Chrisean Rock & Karlissa Saffold Beef

This isn’t the only hot water Chrisean has found herself in recently, either. Earlier this month, the former Baddies star appeared on The Danza Project, where she discussed her son with Blueface. She shut down rumors that the child is disabled, whilst also admitting that a doctor told her he is. “If a doctor speaks about your kid you shouldn’t accept it,” she insisted. “I can’t wait till my son start walking and talking.”

For obvious reasons, this sparked tremendous concern among viewers. Babies usually start walking and talking at around a year old, and Jr. is two.

Blueface’s mother, Karlissa Saffold, later weighed in on her remarks. She claimed that Chrisean was informed of her child’s alleged disabilities before he was even born. “No one is to blame but the mother who chose to ignore me during that pregnancy and her slow a** fans who convinced her I was hating,” she wrote. “All that can be done is the best for him and that’s what y’all should be promoting.”

“I can confidently say after listening to the full album leak, this is Kanye’s worst project in his discography. Let alone the abhorrent use of ai on majority of the songs, the new production is COMPLETELY inferior to previous versions of bully as is genuinely atrocious,” one fan argued on X (formerly Twitter). Another wrote: “This is NOT ONLY the worst Ye project. It is one of the worst albums ive heard. Honestly this sounds like Yuno Miles remix of the V1. I feel sorry for Ye, this is awful. Actually I dont feel sorry, what was he thinking?”

One more added: “This is making me sad fr. Not only ai, but also completely unfinished with the same repeating choruses. Almost no song has verses (h&l, beauty and the beast ect) this is bad. Even if the dsp version aint ai, with no verses its the same bs.”

When Is Kanye West Releasing “Bully”?

Kanye West will be releasing the official version of Bully on Friday, March 27. The news about the use of A.I. on the vinyl version of the project comes after Ye’s team denied that there would be any of the technology, earlier this year. “(There) is no AI on Bully,” manager Peter Jideonwo wrote on X in January. Milo Yiannopoulos added at the time: ” For those who need to hear it from a white man, No AI on Bully.”

Fans Reactions

Those comments came despite Kanye West previously defending the use of A.I. during an interview with Justin Laboy. “It’s like the next version of sampling,” he said in February 2025. “Like when sampling happened, they hated it.”

This isn’t the first legal trouble Desiigner has gotten into in recent years. In 2023, he was also arrested for indecent exposure after exposing himself on a flight to Japan. Shortly after his arrest, he released a statement, attributing the ordeal to mental health and substance issues.

“For the past few months i have not been ok, and i have been struggling to come to terms with what is going on,” he told TMZ at the time. “While overseas for a concert i performed at, i had to be admitted in to a hospital, i was not thinking clearly. They gave me meds, and i had to hop on a plane home.”

“I am ashamed of my actions that happened on that plane,” he added. “I landed back to the states, and am admitting my self in a facility to help me [and] will be cancelling all of my shows and any obligations until further notice. Mental health is real guys, please pray for me. If you’re not feeling like yourself please get help.”

Desiigner pleaded guilty to indecent exposure and was ultimately sentenced to two years of probation. He also had to pay a $5K fee, do community service, participate in regular drug-testing, and publicly apologize to airplane staff.

It was previously reported that Desiigner would have to register as a sex offender as a result of the incident. His attorney has since clarified that this was not the case.

However, there are plenty of fans on social media who aren’t buying what Cole is selling right now. Instead, these fans feel betrayed by Cole. They feel as though he has broken the social contract by trying to play both sides.

In the eyes of DJ Akademiks, this is a pathetic move. At least, that is what he said on his live stream last night. Akademiks was firm on his position, noting that he can’t respect Cole because of the way he has handled things. He also offered up some extra alleged context about why Cole apologized in the first place.

DJ Akademiks Rants About J. Cole

When “7 Minute Drill” dropped, Kendrick had not released “Euphoria.” He also hadn’t released “Meet The Grahams” or “Not Like Us.” Akademiks claims someone from TDE was at Dreamville Fest and told Cole what was happening. In his view, this is what directly led to the subsequent apology.

It is certainly an interesting theory, and one that a lot of fans probably agree with to some extent. With that in mind, one can’t help but feel as though Ak’s anger is coming from Drake’s behalf. Ak has always been a huge cheerleader for Drake, especially following the beef.

With Cole refusing to play to one side or the other, Ak sees it as a weak move. Especially when you consider how Cole and Drake went on tour together, and did First Person Shooter together.

Whatever the case may be, the Cole, Drake, and Kendrick situation is not going to go away anytime soon. Everyone has chosen their side, and as long as people are still talking about it, they are still going to let their opinions be known.

“Think about it, if somebody at the ‘top’ gave somebody coming up an opportunity to come after them on a record, you know what would happen?! LOL N****S IS EATING THEY FOOD! OFF TOP. RENT IS DUE, BILLS PAID EXPEDITIOUSLY,” Joey wrote in one post.

From there, he brought up J. Cole as an example. “Public perception of who’s the best would be drastically different if this were a regular occurrence. This is exactly why you didn’t see JID on The Fall Off. He would’ve OVERSTOOD the assignment. To me personally, it made no sense he wasn’t on there but hey maybe that’s just me. Btw I loved the album but let’s be fr,” he added.

Did Joey Bada$$ Diss J. Cole?

As some fans on social media interpreted the post as a jab at J. Cole, Joey clarified that he is a big fan of the rapper. “This is not just about J Cole this is about lyrical rap as a subgenre period,” he clarified. “My sentiment is that there’s a scarcity mindset in the subgenre and usually the top guys don’t invite other hungry spitters onto their own tracks.”

“Let me give Cole his flowers real quick just to be clear because i loved the album and Ive always loved him as an emcee (and person),” Joey added. “But I stand on what I’m saying. The evidence is there. There’s a difference between doing features for n****s and featuring n****s on your own work. And for the record, if n****s wholeheartedly thought JID didn’t fit on TFO, that’s your opinion. But he’s also not featured on any other j Cole album.”

He continued: “Didn’t J Cole just say ‘if hip hop was dead JID would be platinum?’ (On a throwaway mixtape btw) But then not feature him at all on the mixtape or the album when either or would’ve made sense. All I’m saying is notice the trend in this specific sub genre.”

Sammie was quick to fire back via a statement from his lawyer, Durante Partridge. “While the claims being made do not accurately reflect the reality of the situation, Sammie remains focused on what matters most: his children and his continued presence in their lives,” Partridge told The Shade Room. “He is, first and foremost, a father, and he takes that responsibility seriously.”

“Out of respect for his family, he has chosen not to engage in public discourse regarding private matters,” the statement continues. “However, it is important to note that he approaches fatherhood with care, intention, and consistency.”

Sammie’s lawyer isn’t the only one in his corner these days, however. His childhood friend, Ne-Yo’s co-parent Crystal Smith, also recently hopped online to defend him. Yesterday (March 24), she posted home security footage of Marie Brooke leaving her son on Sammie’s doorstep. She appeared to set the child down and ring the doorbell before walking away.

“OK, so normally I stay out of ALL internet drama, but this has been my friend since the 6th grade!” Smith captioned the post. “YOU dropped your newborn son off in 38 degree weather on his front porch, in the middle of the night and left… @sammiealways you’re a great dad.”

Marie Brooke issued a response on her own Instagram Story, calling Sammie out for sharing the footage with Smith and accusing him of trying to use her mental health issues against her.

“What You Saying” has become a viral smash hit, and it has many fans salivating for a new album. If this is the sound Uzi is going with, then perhaps we will see a revitalization of their career.

On Tuesday night, Uzi made sure to give fans a whole lot to be excited about. On social media, they dropped off a brand new snippet. It sounds fantastic, and it is clear that Uzi is enjoying this new sound.

Lil Uzi Vert Is On The Way

In a new vlog, Uzi went on to say, “The takeover is very soon.” Clearly, Uzi is ready for something special very soon. This kind of statement makes us think that some sort of album is in the works, although for right now, it is impossible to say for sure.

Fans are going to have to wait and see. That said, it has been two years since the release of Eternal Atake 2. This has us feeling like a 2026 Uzi album is a real possibility. Two to three years is the typical development cycle for an Uzi album, and fans are well-aware that something special is being cooked up.

2026 has been a solid year for hip-hop so far. It all started with the release of Don’t Be Dumb by A$AP Rocky. This then turned into the rollout for J. Cole’s The Fall-Off. Drake is set to drop ICEMAN later this year, which will certainly turn hip-hop up a notch.

As for Uzi, an album would satisfy fans. However, if the album suffers the same fate as the previous two, Uzi’s career could be in for a world of hurt.

“[It’s] disgusting how people try to use that opportunity to either show how they really felt about Drake the whole time or just pile on and tear this dude down, and create a narrative as if he’s not great,” he explained. “It was a whole campaign, and probably still is to this day.”

Cole’s remarks came up during a recent episode of The Ebro Laura Rosenberg Show, prompting Ebro to speculate that Cole was talking specifically about people in the industry.

Ebro Reacts To J. Cole’s Talk With Flee Interview

“I was critical about Drake before the beef,” he said. “I like all these guys musically, artistically. Some I like more than others. I’m really loving what Cole’s doing right now, but I don’t give a goddamn. We respond to things on the fly, bro. Like, it’s happening right now. You did X-Y-Z. What are we supposed to do? And, if we’re keeping it a bean, the only person that supported my show and me is Kendrick Lamar. So like, if we talking about how we pay our bills, y’all ain’t been up here supporting me. None of y’all. Kendrick has.”

“What Kendrick was saying, What Drake was saying, who I liked creatively, who I thought made missteps… It never got personal for me during the battle,” he added. “The reason it got personal in the commentary was because their commentary got personal. So you’re forced to talk about what they’re talking about because they got personal.”

Ebro’s remarks have earned mixed reactions from viewers. While some speculate that he’s insinuating Kendrick was behind the scenes supporting him amid his Drake beef, others think he’s simply referring to his support of Hot 97 over the years.

“Fan bases take it too far. I would agree with that,” Budden admitted. “You would hope people don’t bring up kids and wanna destroy your personal life. All of that’s fine. But, on the accountability tip, if you go out there and beg a n***a to start with you. If you go out there and insist that we have this dance, because we’ve been the best for too long, just me and you for 10 years, then you gotta be willing to take all that comes with. That’s part of battle. Part of battle is risk assessment.”

From there, Joe Budden brought up drill music, arguing that Jay-Z didn’t speak up about the negativity of battling then. “I don’t wanna be in a hip-hop where that tango don’t get to exist,” he said. “Now, all of these talking points– I agree with everything he said if we switch the conversation to drill, because then, it’s not worth it to me. But, he didn’t. He wasn’t having a drill conversation… When hip-hop was getting scary evil, it wasn’t ‘battles need to stop.’ It wasn’t all of that.”

Jay-Z’s Stance On Kendrick Lamar & Drake

Jay-Z discussed the state of battling in hip-hop during an interview with Frazier Tharpe for GQ on Tuesday. After describing battling as a “pillar” of hip-hop, Jay added: “We love the excitement and I love the sparring, but in this day and age there’s so much negative stuff that comes with it that you almost wish it didn’t happen.”

Addressing Kendrick Lamar and Drake, specifically, he continued: “Now, people that like Kendrick hate Drake, no matter what he makes. It’s like an attack on his character. I don’t know if I love that. I don’t know if it’s helpful to our growth where the fallout lands, especially on social media… It’s too far. It’s bringing people’s kids in it. I don’t like that. I sound like the old guy wagging his finger, but I think we can achieve the same thing, as far as sparring with music, with collaborations more so than breaking the whole thing apart. It could stand it before because there was no social media. You had the battle and it was fun and then you moved on. Right now, I don’t know if it could stand it with the technology that we have.”
