‘Why you lying and saying that a n*gga touched me and knocked my [tooth] out?” Cardi said while on Live, according to Complex. “First of all, I don’t give a f*ck if I’m beefing with a n*gga, if I hate a n*gga…one thing I’m not going to do is go and lie on a motherf*cker. A n*gga never even laid a nail on me. I don’t play that domestic violence bullsh*t.” Then, she spoke about tolerating “bullsh*t” from her romantic partners because of what she witnessed growing up. However, domestic violence was something she would never accept.

Cardi Is A Survivor Of Domestic Violence

“One thing I never seen my father do was hit and touch my mom. My dad never hit my mom,” Cardi added. “Even when my mom used to beat the sh*t out of him in front of us, you know what my dad used to do? Walk away. Just walk away. And that’s why one thing I don’t tolerate is a n*gga touching me.”

The Grammy winner also explained that she has been on the receiving end of physical violence in a relationship, but it’s something she will never allow again. Cardi also reminded people that she has veneers, and if she were to get into a fight and have a tooth knocked out, her face would look visibly different. Then, she called out the blogger to post anything to substantiate their claims. Still, she didn’t name the person.

Check out the clip below.

The clip still spread quickly across social media regardless. Boosie Badazz was one of several people who reacted strongly online. He questioned whether the footage was even real at first. That reaction only added more attention to the situation.

Rocky and his AWGE imprint decided to lean into the confusion instead of brushing it off. The brand announced a new line of thongs for women shortly after. The post included a sharp message aimed directly at people who jumped to conclusions.

Photos shared alongside the announcement showed the new design up close. Black, red, and nude tones layered together across the waistband. “AWGE” branding appeared stitched into each strap clearly. The look played off the same visual that started the confusion.

Turning a misunderstanding into a product drop isn’t unusual at this point. Brands often respond quickly when something starts trending unexpectedly. This time, the joke became something fans can actually buy.

AWGE Teases Thongs After A$AP Rocky Situation

This is a pretty smart move from AWGE overall. Instead of correcting the record quietly, they ran straight at it. That choice turned an awkward viral clip into something fans could laugh along with. Most brands would just stay silent or issue a boring statement instead.

AWGE skipped that entirely and went for humor right away. The message itself kept things sharp without sounding defensive or annoyed. Pairing that tone with an actual product made the response feel complete. It’s the kind of timing that’s hard to plan for in advance.

Most viral moments fade quickly without anyone capitalizing on them at all. This time, the brand managed to turn a quick laugh into real attention. That’s a solid example of reacting fast and getting it right.

While visiting Good Morning America, the singer detailed having to leave The Boy is Mine Tour early. “I should have never taken that tour, but there was so much going on in my life that I had to do it,” said Long. “About midway through, we’re up in the north east, it’s really cold, and with autoimmune, the cold is really not your friend. I got really sick, I got pneumonia.”

“I had to step away for a few dates. But I’m like, this is not it, I got to go back. I went back, and I think maybe about five or six dates in, I was like, this is not… I couldn’t even get out of bed to make my call time for the stage. And the last show, I just barely made it; I was only able to do two songs. My team and my family were like, you just need to come home and rest.”

The Surgery That Saved Muni Long’s Life

Throughout the conversation, Long spoke candidly about the physical and emotional toll of living with lupus, a chronic condition that can affect multiple organs throughout the body. The singer says following a double lung transplant that saved her life, she’s doing much better.

“[The doctors] were all like, you need a transplant,” she said. “I’m like, it sounds like you have a time. How long do I have to live? And they go, a week. One week. And my jaw dropped literally. I was like, ‘That’s rude.’ But they just wanted me to, hey, this is not a joke, you need to make a choice. You can either go to hospice, or you can get these lungs.”

The sentencing marked the end of the criminal proceedings, but not the end of the case’s broader consequences. During the hearing, the victim addressed the court and spoke about the impact the assault had on her life. Days before sentencing, the rapper sought to withdraw his guilty plea, arguing that he accepted the agreement while under emotional distress, though the request was ultimately denied.

The Victim Speaks Out About Her Ordeal

Complex reports that in 2023, court documents detailed the victim’s side of the story. She claimed that the incident was sparked by Mystikal accusing her of stealing from him, and “when she denied it,” he “struck Plaintiff in the face with a closed fist.” At one point, the victim claims she asked to use the restroom and was only granted permission if the rapper could watch her. Then, she stated she was raped. Further, the victim claimed that following the incident, she feared so much for her safety that she moved homes.

“This battery ensued for several minutes. During the battery, Defendant choked Plaintiff to such a point that she almost lost consciousness. Defendant continued to accuse Plaintiff of stealing money. Each time Plaintiff denied stealing money, Defendant struck her again. During the battery, Defendant made Plaintiff strip off her pants. Plaintiff sustained bruises, scrapes, a laceration, missing hair, and a broken fingernail.”

“While she was using the bathroom, Defendant spit in her face and threw rubbing alcohol in her face,” the documents reportedly show. “Defendant then grabbed a pair of scissors and began to swing them violently and threatened Plaintiff. Defendant eventually told Plaintiff they needed to pray. He had her kneel by his bedside, and he knelt beside her. They knelt for a few minutes and prayed.”

This week, TMZ caught up with Mystikal’s son, who talked about listening to the victim share her story during the trial. He spoke on the emotional toll this has taken on his family, and said he hopes his father gets the help he needs while behind bars.

That history makes the reported first-week performance of B*tch difficult to ignore. Early sales estimates suggest the project moved 2,650 copies, according to Luminate, reported by Forbes, and failed to secure a spot on the Billboard 200. For an artist whose previous releases produced chart-topping singles and widespread commercial success, the numbers have become a talking point across social media, where fans and critics are debating what may have contributed to such a sharp decline.

Controversies Have Shrouded Lizzo

Several factors have entered the conversation. The industry’s relationship with stardom has changed considerably since Lizzo’s breakthrough years, and sustaining mainstream attention has become increasingly difficult even for established artists. One can also point to the legal controversies that have surrounded the singer since 2023, when several former dancers filed a lawsuit alleging sexual harassment, a hostile work environment, and discrimination.

Lizzo has denied the allegations, and the legal battles have continued to generate headlines in the years since. Whatever the explanation, the gap between her recent commercial peak and the opening week of B*tch is significant enough to raise questions about where her career stands and what comes next.

However, he finds himself back in the news following some revelations about Alabama Barker. According to N3on, he had feelings for Barker and was spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on her. Eventually, he realized that she did not feel the same way.

Once he realized this, he continued to live his life as he pleased. Barker did the same, although as N3on describes, Barker didn’t like that too much. This subsequently led to a falling out of sorts. Meanwhile, the streamer revealed that Barker allegedly forced him to sign an NDA.

N3on alleges that Barker threatened him with a lawsuit if he were to break the NDA. Given these recent comments on his live stream, one has to wonder what Barker’s reaction is going to be.

Ultimately, a lot of these relationships you see on streams are constructed purely for the audience. They are mutually beneficial in some way, and more often than not, are nowhere near authentic. The relationship between Iggy Azalea and N3on is a perfect example of this.

Beyond this recent revelation, one has to wonder how much longer N3on can sustain his success. Without the antics, he just isn’t a compelling personality. Even with the antics, he’s just an edgelord, and that gets old fast.

During the court hearing on Monday, all four men were given a chance to speak in the courtroom. Gathright chose to give a lengthy statement on his sentencing, and it is causing quite the stir on social media.

The 20-year-old spoke directly to the judge, noting that he finds it heartbreaking that someone so young can be given a life sentence with zero second chances. He notes how he can’t buy liquor, can’t get a hotel room, and can’t even buy a house. However, he can still be locked away for the rest of his life.

This has created some discourse online about rehabilitation versus punishment. Some feel as though the extent of the crime matches the sentence. Meanwhile, others aren’t so sure that this will lead to a favorable rehabilitative outcome.

Foolio was killed back in 2024 when Gathright, the Murphys, and Chance ambushed him outside of a Tampa hotel. The artist was then gunned down in the parking lot, and much of the slaying was seen in surveillance footage. All four men were eventually convicted on first-degree murder charges.

Their beef with Foolio stemmed from a gang war taking place in Jacksonville, Florida. A similar situation led to a beef between Yungeen Ace and Foolio. Both artists had made diss tracks about each other, such as “Who I Smoke” and “When I See You.”

The following night, he was at the club again, this time for Chubbs’ birthday. The two were spotted at a Houston nightclub, and as it turns out, the legendary Bun B was there to celebrate as well. Everyone was having a great time, and it led to a fun moment between Drizzy and Bun B, as they paid homage to a Houston legend.

As you can see in the clip below, Drake and Bun B were rapping along to Z-Ro’s iconic “Mo City Don” freestyle. This has been an anthemic song in Houston for years, and it is cool to see two legends give their rendition.

Drake & Bun B Get Together

Drake has always paid homage to musical movements throughout the United States. Whether that be on the West Coast, Houston, Atlanta, or even Florida, Drake is tapped in everywhere.

Meanwhile, he is seeing some real success with the release of his most recent album, ICEMAN. The project is officially platinum eligible, and it even spent four consecutive weeks at number one on the Billboard 200. It is now sitting at number two behind Olivia Rodrigo.

This is a huge achievement for Drake, especially when you consider the discourse that was surrounding his name just a few months ago. Some felt as though he would never be an esteemed hitmaker again. As it turns out, he has proven those detractors wrong.

Now, he is having all the fun in the world, and given what he has been through, it is hard to say it isn’t well-deserved.

Recently, Ye announced a show in San Antonio on July 4, which will be played at the Alamodome. This is a city-owned facility, and with 50,000 tickets already sold, the show has been at risk of being canceled. While there are expected to be 60,000 fans in attendance, the mayor simply does not want Ye in town.

Mayor Gina Ortiz Jones believes it would be a mistake to allow Ye to perform. She believes this is an antisemitism issue and that the city council must step in to cancel the event. According to RJ Marquez, the mayor does not have the authority to stop the show herself. Instead, the city council must agree. However, at the time of writing this, it seems as though the city has every intention of going on with the show.

Will Kanye West Perform in San Antonio?

This is certainly good news for all of the Ye fans out there. Tickets to his shows cost a lot of money, and a cancellation would lead to some anxiety-inducing refunds.

That said, these kinds of threats to his performances are commonplace. The artist has been banned from places like the UK, as they have a strict policy against hate speech. While Ye has apologized for his past remarks, that past is still under scrutiny. It will take a lot more than a few “I’m sorrys” to get himself back in the good graces of the general public.

Until then, his shows in Tampa, San Antonio, and Chicago are slated to go on as promised.

Big Tigger was eventually booked into the Fulton County Jail, although he posted bail later that day. He had to pay upwards of $10K in bond. The battery charge cost $9K, while the cruelty to children charge was another $1K.

Back in May, authorities opened up a domestic dispute investigation after Brown sought medical help for injuries she allegedly sustained. At the time of the arrest, it is unclear whether or not the charges are in connection with that investigation.

Details Of Big Tigger’s Arrest

When this story was first reported, Big Tigger spoke to TMZ. At the time, he denied the allegations and thanked those who stood with him throughout this difficult time.

“I appreciate the support and concern that so many people have shown. I want to say categorically that these allegations and accusations that have been circulating are false,” Big Tigger said. “Out of respect for everyone involved, I ask for grace, privacy, and restraint as my family navigates this difficult moment. I remain grateful for the trust so many of you have placed in me throughout that journey. I intend to continue living and leading in a manner worthy of that trust.”

The 51-year-old legendary radio host had a child with Alicia Brown in 2025. This remains a developing story that we will keep you informed on.
