Victory Boyd Drops “Telekinesis” Lawsuit Against Travis Scott, SZA, & Future

Alexander Cole — Wed, 03 Jun 2026 18:38:10 +0000

Last year, Travis Scott, SZA, and Future were hit with a lawsuit from singer Victory Boyd, who accused the trio of stealing her “Like The Way It Sounds” demo to make the song “Telekinesis.” This was a 2023 song on Scott’s album UTOPIA.

As it turns out, Boyd had made the demo in 2019 as part of a collaboration with Ye. Kanye West provided the chords, and she came through with lyrics and vocals. Scott then used this demo with Ye’s permission to make “Telekinesis.” Boyd was even given credit and publishing for the song. However, she still sought a lawsuit.

According to Billboard, Boyd decided to drop the lawsuit today. She has decided to forgive and forget. As her legal team explained, the singer has gone through a spiritual change that has her wanting to drop this legal action.

Travis Scott Takes Legal Victory

“After some internal reflection, Victory decided to forgive Travis Scott and move past a legal process that felt like it was draining her creatively and spiritually. Victory is moving forward to focus on her art, her ministry and her life,” her lawyer Keith White said. “She sends her blessings to all of the parties in the case and is excited to move forward.”

Ultimately, “Telekinesis” was one of the most popular songs on UTOPIA and for good reason. However, this is a song that had been floating around online for years, with Kanye West’s vocals all over it.

If you remember, much of UTOPIA came from Ye. There were even samples that had been used during the 2013 recording process of Yeezus. Either way, we’re sure the artists involved are happy to move on from this legal battle.

Joe Budden Weighs In On Sauce Walka’s Beef With Drake

Alexander Cole — Wed, 03 Jun 2026 18:11:00 +0000

If you have been keeping up with the rap news cycle this week, then you would know that Sauce Walka is currently beefing with Drake. However, it should be noted that the beef is just going one way right now.

It all started when the mother of Sauce Walka’s child took to social media with alleged audio of Sauce Walka threatening Drake. The artist was supposedly mad about Drake messing with the mother of his child. The Houston artist was subsequently accused of trashing the Maybach Drake had allegedly purchased for his BM. On Wednesday morning, Sauce Walka dropped a song about the situation called “Baby Mama Drama.”

With all of this going down, Joe Budden and his podcast co-hosts decided to do what they do best and weigh in. As you can imagine, the panel had a lot to say about the situation, with some feeling as though Sauce Walka could be feeling disrespected as a pimp.

Budden isn’t so sure Drake made the right move by referencing the situation in his music. Meanwhile, some feel as though there might be some code that Drake was unaware of, and therefore got himself into a bad situation.

That said, they also acknowledged that Drake has oftentimes gotten himself into situations where he is involved with women who already have a man in their lives. This has led to some disses in the past and was a huge reason why so many artists teamed up to diss him in 2024.

Whatever the case may be, it is clear that Sauce Walka is upset with how Drake is moving right now. He’s certainly not the first person to ever feel this way.

Tyler, The Creator Explains Why He Rejected Signing To Jay-Z

Aron A. — Wed, 03 Jun 2026 17:45:33 +0000

Tyler The Creator and Odd Future’s success story is something that every young artist should study. When they came out of the gate, they disrupted everything in sight, but that was also part of why they were so compelling. Obviously, the second that “Yonkers” went viral, everyone wanted to see how they could get involved with the OF brand, yet Tyler was adamant about doing everything on his own, even when the opportunity to work with Jay-Z came about.

During a recent interview with DJ Drama, Tyler detailed how his remix of N.E.R.D’s “Inside Of Clouds” eventually led to a co-sign from Pharrell. With Hov observing from afar, he eventually invited Tyler and the OF collective to his Los Angeles home for tacos before expressing interest in inking Odd Future to the Roc Nation imprint. However, Tyler made it clear that he was committed to seeing his vision through.

Tyler, The Creator recalls the time he and Odd Future turned down a record deal from JAY-Z to maintain creative control:

“He invited us to one of his LA homes and we just ate tacos. He wanted to sign us. I was like, 'Man, you're cool, but no.' […] I was like, 'I just want… pic.twitter.com/v2onnyptYv

“I just want creative control and do everything,” he recalled saying during his conversation with Jay-Z. “I love your work. Everyone’s cool. But I don’t think you guys have what I have and could help me get to what I truly want. Not what we think we’re supposed to have as musicians, the shiny plane. I don’t want that. Right now, I just want to sit on Photoshop and make these weird beats, and then I’ll get there.”

Tyler The Creator Explains Why He Hates Top 5 Conversations

Tyler, The Creator says people who fixate on objective Top 5 rapper lists are “f*cking lame”:

“I rather hear people talk about the sh*t they like… Who gives a f*ck? People really be arguing like, 'How dare you not put so-and-so on your Mount Rushmore?' Go get a f*cking hobby.… pic.twitter.com/SP6LKUlYTO

Elsewhere, Tyler discussed his disdain for the top 5 conversations. “I rather hear people talk about the sh*t they like… Who gives a f*ck? People really be arguing like, ‘How dare you not put so-and-so on your Mount Rushmore?’ Go get a f*cking hobby. It truly blows my mind,” he said. “It’s like, cool, hip-hop Twitter ran by 16-year-old white kid who didn’t even grow up on rap, do your thing.”

Yung Miami Gives Cryptic Response As X User Suggests Fans Want A Sex Tape Leak

Alexander Cole — Wed, 03 Jun 2026 17:28:49 +0000

Yung Miami’s relationship with Diddy has been the subject of scrutiny over the past few years. Of course, the two were dating prior to the mogul’s legal issues. Eventually, the two broke up, although Yung Miami remained a topic of conversation during the ensuing trial.

Over the weekend, there was a large update in the case, as a sex tape was leaked featuring Sly Diggler, Diddy, and Daphne Joy. This sex tape became the subject of internet discourse, and there has been a larger conversation about the ethics of these kinds of tapes.

Meanwhile, some are using this as an opportunity to taunt Yung Miami on social media. One person even wrote, “N*ggas saying they waiting on the Caresha tape.” The artist saw this particular comment and decided to weigh in with a cryptic array of dancing and champagne emojis.

Yung Miami has also been using these emojis to celebrate the success of her song “Spend Dat.” This has become a viral sensation, with some claiming that it is a song of the summer candidate.

Overall, the song recently hit the Billboard Hot 100 in the 66th spot. On other charts, it has been sitting towards the top, which just goes to show that a Yung Miami solo album has a ton of potential.

Fans have been very hopeful that Yung Miami will drop a solo album, sooner rather than later. Her breakup with JT was a massive story in 2024, and it has been a while since she’s been active. However, with “Spend Dat” climbing the charts, perhaps Yung Miami will look to keep the momentum alive.

Chris Brown’s Home Faces Another Intruder Days After Man’s Arrest

Aron A. — Wed, 03 Jun 2026 17:09:38 +0000

It’s never a dull moment at Chris Brown’s home. A few people in his rabid fanbase have taken things to extremes in the past by trying to breach his privacy and enter his home uninvited. Fortunately for him, none of them have particularly succeeded. But according to TMZ, another person has been arrested after trying to get onto his property in Tarzana, CA, on June 2nd.

The outlet reports that the police received a call reporting a burglary when the caller said that a woman broke into the home. Police showed up to his home, where they arrested the woman, with sources claiming that she didn’t succeed in entering the home.

This marks the second arrest to take place at Chris Brown’s home in recent times. In mid-May, another intruder was arrested on his property. The first time happened after the alleged intruder tried to hop the fence and start a fire. After police apprehended him, he reportedly returned and began pacing the roadway in front of Breezy’s home before police arrived and took him into custody. This same individual was arrested for the third time within 48 hours after trying to scale the fence at Chris Brown’s home.

Chris Brown Fires Security Guard Over Shooting

This occurred nearly a month after Chris Brown fired his security guard following an altercation that involved a CO2-style weapon being discharged. Sources claim that the woman ran over the security guard’s foot with a car, and she told police that he shot at her car. The security guard was eventually arrested for assault with a deadly weapon and vandalism.

We will keep you posted on any further updates regarding the latest arrest at Chris Brown’s home this week. Let us know your thoughts on the latest controversy at Chris Brown’s home below.

Latto Responds To Joe Budden’s Insinuation That Drake Is Writing For Her

Alexander Cole — Wed, 03 Jun 2026 15:47:51 +0000

Latto is fresh off her new album, Big Mama. This album was initially going to be her retirement project. However, after giving birth, the artist has decided that she is still passionate about music and that her initial retirement announcement was a bit hasty.

With that being said, her album has been out for a few days now, and fans are starting to give their takes on the music. Some have remarked that there are a few songs in which Latto sounds a bit like Drake. This has been something Latto has been told throughout her career, but especially so on this album.

In fact, during a recent episode of the Joe Budden Podcast, Budden suggested that Drake might be ghostwriting for Latto. The artist heard this suggestion and decided to come through with a response.

Latto posted a photo of a whiteboard in which she was writing her own lyrics, she then tagged Budden in the photo, to let him know that he is mistaken.

Hip-hop fans know that Drake is a phenomenal writer. While he did go through his own ghostwriting scandal, there is no doubt that he has written for other artists before. This is why Budden’s recent comments aren’t super far-fetched.

However, Latto is a proud artist, and it makes sense that she wouldn’t want to have to deal with these kinds of allegations. They put her authenticity into question, and they also create more questions about Drake’s long-term involvement in her art.

That said, Joe Budden knows how to stir up conversation, and this is just more proof of that.

Bobby Shmurda Goes Off Over Jay-Z & Roc Nation’s Involvement In His Case

Aron A. — Wed, 03 Jun 2026 15:28:42 +0000

Jay-Z’s Roots Picnic freestyle undoubtedly earned plenty of praise, but it also opened up a window of criticism, even for things unrelated to the performance. Bobby Shmurda has utilized Hov’s recent public appearance to air his grievances surrounding how he believes Roc Nation screwed him over. A few days ago, he called out Jay for going through an identity crisis, and now, he’s shedding more light on the feud between himself and Roc Nation.

In a lengthy caption attached to a post of Jeezy discussing why Jay-Z cancelled the “Seen It All” video shoot, Bobby Shmurda accused Roc Nation of practically forcing him into accepting a plea deal.

“Now listen up. It’s not about how you say things; it’s about what you’re saying. Like, you’re not gonna tell me in a nice way you’re gonna rape my family and take all my money, right, so wake up, stupid,” Shmurda wrote in the caption. He then suggested Jay tried to take advantage of his lack of knowledge of the music industry early on. He added that Alex Spiro, Jay-Z and Roc Nation’s long-time attorney, was the one who put him in jail to begin with.

“now that I’m out of jail after his lawyer put me in there, Alex Spyro, which is public. You can look it up I told him I was forced. The judge said he didn’t care he was sending me and all my friends upstate and we can get it on appeal,” he added. “I knew they wanted to make up for it so when I came home from prison, I knew they were the only one that can give me out of the Epic deal I was held on for six years in prison. I was the only artist that was held on a deal for six years major label AKA billion dollar company.”

The rapper shared screenshots of an article in Vibe that noted how Bobby Shmurda refused to sign waivers or documents related to the plea deal that he retracted. Bobby explained how he was forced to accept the sentence while reportedly telling Spiro on the record that he wants to fire him and drop the plea. “Why are you telling me to waive my rights?” Shmurda said.

“My fingerprints came back ‘inconclusive.’ On my first gun charge that they sent me upstate seven years for then try to spin it bout ‘ooh he took time for his friends so they don’t look bad lol To them n***as is wicked son. Narrative is illusions does not change the truth.” Check his post above and let us know your thoughts in the comment section below.

Megan Thee Stallion’s Latest Snippet Proves She’s Done With Her Wifey Era

Alexander Cole — Wed, 03 Jun 2026 14:55:19 +0000

Megan Thee Stallion has been through quite a bit over the past couple of months. While she seemed to be happy with her new boyfriend, Klay Thompson, things ultimately took a turn for the worse.

If you remember, the artist took to her Instagram account, where she revealed that Klay was cheating on her. Furthermore, she revealed that she is no longer with the NBA star. This subsequently led to days-long discourse on social media, with fans eagerly picking sides.

Since that time, fans have wondered whether or not Megan would turn some of that pain into art. After all, she has a lot to say, and her raps are a great way to get some things off her chest.

As it turns out, Meg truly is in music mode right now, as a snippet began going viral on social media on Tuesday. In this new snippet, Meg proudly proclaims that her wifey era is officially over.

Given everything that allegedly went down with Klay Thompson, it is easy to see why Meg would feel this way. That said, there is no denying that the fans are hungry for some new music from the artist.

Megan Thee Stallion has been consistent over the years with her art. However, it has been a couple of years since fans got a full-length project. Given her usual release schedule, it does feel as though something could be coming down the pipeline.

2026 has already been a massive year for hip-hop, and a Megan Thee Stallion album would only add to an already-stacked campaign. Hopefully, we hear something soon.

Sauce Walka Says Drake Dissed Him On “Janice STFU,” Calls Out Adam22

Aron A. — Wed, 03 Jun 2026 14:08:39 +0000

Okay, we have to be real: the Drake stimulus is still effective, and Sauce Walka is the latest to benefit from it. Sauce Walka’s issues with Drake have been out in the open for some time, but no one truly knew how deep those issues ran. And based on the claims of Kylie Lossen, the mother of his child, it seemed to run deep.

However, Sauce Walka is telling a different story. In a recent Instagram Post, he addressed the recent audio clips, rumors of “Janice STFU,” and what triggered the threats he sent toward Drake. But first, he made sure to promote his latest song, “Baby Mama Drama.”

“This is how much dough I got out the hoe from OVO,” Sauce Walka said as he stepped out of his Maybach. “The man just dropped a whole new album, and every song was about me, me, babyyy, had the hoe going deep sea, baby. Yeah, man, I’m the n***a that he talking about on the song that was putting the bone on the b*tch in the home that he was paying for. You heard what he said. Trickin’ on all the bills, that’s how I sauce and spill,” he continued.

Then, Sauce Walka explained the threats toward Drake, claiming they were actually toward Adam22. “The threat was never about the p**sy. I’m the n***a that sent the h*e. I can’t be tender if I’m the one that sent her,” he said. “The threat is about this white boy Adam22 being in the mothaf*ckin business. B*tch, what kind of mothaf*ckin’ p*ssyfoot feet kickin’ you ever there doing to make this n***a Adam think he knowing what the f*ck going on between me, you and this bankroll?”

Sauce Walka Releases New Single Amid Drake Drama

Sauce Walka is making the most of the situation, unleashing his new single, “Baby Mama Drama” on DSPs. It seems unlikely that we’ll get a response from Drake anytime soon, but we recently heard from OVO Chubbs, who doesn’t seem concerned about Sauce Walka’s threats.
