Lil Tjay Takes Aim At Real Boston Richey On New Diss Track “Go Tati”

Alexander Cole — Wed, 06 May 2026 18:34:58 +0000

Last week, Tjay dropped off his new album They Just Ain’t You. On Wednesday, he came through with a new deluxe version of the album, dubbed the Big One Edition. This is a direct reference to the only bonus song on the album, “Go Tati.”

As it turns out, “Go Tati” is a diss record aimed at Real Boston Richey. If you have been paying attention to the news as of late, you would know that Boston Richey’s ex, Tatiana Chanell, has accused the rapper of abusing her, kidnapping her, and even grooming her.

In Tjay’s new song, he makes direct references to Tatiana, while also using some wordplay to reference Real Boston Richey. When you read out the lyrics, it becomes crystal clear what Tjay is trying to do.

“She said she don’t want no rat no more, shawty want a goon/On the ‘Gram tellin’ your business like he tellin’ in that room,” Tjay raps on the song. “What you say? Go Tati, do your big one/Know you want a Richie, he keep playin’, you gon’ get one.“

Lil Tjay Drops “Go Tati”

Later in the song, Lil Tjay continues to throw shots at Real Boston Richey. This makes for a punchy diss record that is already garnering quite a bit of traction online. The Boston Richey allegations have become a big story, and Tjay’s insertion in the story could have some major reverberations.

“None these goofies gettin’ saved, who allowed these boys to rap?/I could tell how he stay postin’ 20s, he got baby racks,” he raps.

Earlier this week, Tjay caught a little bit of flak online after asking streamers to react to his album. The streamers in question were DDG, PlaqueBoyMax, and even N3on. Some felt like this was in poor taste, while others compared it to a form of begging.

If one thing is for certain, it is that Tjay is not going to hide just because of a bit of criticism. Instead, he is doubling down.

Dylan Harper Showcases New Titan 22 x Nike GT Cut In NBA Playoffs

Ben Atkinson — Wed, 06 May 2026 18:29:43 +0000

Dylan Harper is one of the best stories of the 2026 NBA Playoffs, and his sneaker game is keeping pace with everything he’s doing on the court. For Game 1 of the Spurs’ second-round series against the Timberwolves, Harper debuted the Titan 22 x Nike GT Cut.

Harper’s mother is Filipino, making him a natural fit to introduce the Titan 22 collaboration on an NBA floor. Titan 22 is the Philippines’ most well-known basketball specialty retailer, and Nike has had a long-standing relationship with the brand. Having Harper debut the collab in the playoffs in front of a national audience is a smart move for everyone.

The pack includes three colorways total, retailing for $200 to $210. The pair Harper wore features a black base with iridescent Swoosh, orange collar detail, and gold accents throughout. It’s a sharp shoe and it looked great under the lights at San Antonio.

Harper has had an incredible rookie playoffs run already. He was a key contributor in the Spurs’ first-round victory over Portland, including a 27-point performance in Game 3 that turned heads league-wide.

The Titan 22 collab dropping right as he faces Ant Edwards and the Timberwolves in Round 2 is perfect timing. The full pack is expected to release during Summer and Fall 2026.

The Titan 22 x Nike GT Cut Pack comes in three colorways. The pair Harper wore in Game 1 runs on a black base with a large iridescent Swoosh stretching across the side panel as the standout detail on the whole shoe.

Orange and gold tones hit the tongue, collar, and heel, with warm accents mixed throughout. A translucent outsole finishes the look underneath.

The second colorway goes white with Star Blue, Chile Red, and Luminous Green hits, while the third takes a softer route in Bleached Aqua with Sport Gold and Glacier Blue accents. All three retail between $200 and $210 when they hit shelves later this year.

Cam’ron Declares “City Boys Up” After Stefon Diggs Is Found Not Guilty

Aron A. — Wed, 06 May 2026 18:20:48 +0000

Stefon Diggs has been found not guilty after being accused of misdemeanor assault and felony strangulation. It all stemmed from a lawsuit where his former chef, Jamila Adams, claimed to have been assaulted by him. Adams also claimed that her relationship with Diggs was sexual. The internet undoubtedly had plenty of things to say, including Cam’ron, who celebrated Diggs’ victory on his talk show, It Is What It Is.

Although he admitted to not knowing the full details of the trial, Cam declared that “City Boys up 200” when asked about the outcome. “Congrats, Stefon Diggs. I’m happy that you didn’t get indicted for this. Well, rather have to get found guilty of this shit because you obviously had footage and proof,” Cam said. The Harlem rapper added that he wasn’t trying to be insensitive to Adams, nor did he know the ins-and-outs of the case, but from what he took away from the clips that he saw, “city boys up 200.”

“My bad, City Girls, if y’all felt like y’all got played in the scenario. But I don’t know too much about it,” Cam’ron said. “So, I just ended with City Boys up 200 ‘cause he won the case and I seen a girl twerking after this was supposed to have happened.”

Cam’ron Reacts To Stefon Diggs’ Verdict

Ultimately, Cam used the opportunity to crack a joke about Cardi B, who Diggs shares a child with. He jokingly suggested that Adams was mad when Diggs chose not to pursue a relationship with her. “I don’t want to fuck you no more, just be my chef,” Cam said. “Yo, and handle all these bitches that’s going to be coming through,” he joked. And yo, Cardi coming over. You know what she like? Taco Tuesday, n***a.” Check out the full clip above. Cam talks Stefon Diggs at the 25-minute mark.

Source Close to Giovanna Battaglia Clears The Air Following A$AP Rocky & Rihanna Debacle

Alexander Cole — Wed, 06 May 2026 17:52:10 +0000

A video of A$AP Rocky and Rihanna following the Met Gala has been going viral online as of late. In the video, the two can be seen inside some sort of van, having what appears to be an argument. The two didn’t appear to be happy with one another, and this set off a chain reaction of speculation throughout social media.

Stan accounts began sifting through hours of video footage just to find something that could explain what happened between the two. One of these accounts found a video of A$AP Rocky laughing it up with a woman in the background of a Rihanna interview. The implication was that Rihanna was upset with Rocky for potentially “flirting” with other women. This was then picked up by TMZ, who amplified the post.

oh so this is why they were arguing- pic.twitter.com/sb3R7DDUrZ

The woman in the video was subsequently identified as Giovanna Battaglia Engelbert. She is a prominent businesswoman in the fashion industry and a former model. While she had attended the Met Gala with singer EJAE, users online couldn’t help but craft a narrative in their head.

Giovanna Battaglia’s Rep Reveals The Truth

According to an update from TMZ, a source close to the situation is completely exonerating Rocky and Battaglia Engelbert from any wrongdoing. The source revealed that Battaglia had actually started talking to Rihanna first. It just so happens that the two have known each other for a long time. Furthermore, Battaglia has “a lot of respect” for the singer.

Ultimately, this is just yet another case of the internet turning something into a bigger event than it actually is. Living life in the public eye must be extremely difficult, especially when these kinds of things consistently happen.

The Met Gala is the perfect place for this kind of stuff to materialize. There are cameras and paparazzi everywhere. Social media is glued to their screens, and when people are bored, they will find things to talk about.

Isaiah Rashad Opens Up About Navigating The Public Eye As A Bisexual Black Man

Aron A. — Wed, 06 May 2026 17:31:55 +0000

Isaiah Rashad is truly one of those artists we don’t hear enough from, but whenever he pops out, it’s a real treat. The TDE artist is fresh off the release of his new album, It’s Been Awful, his first solo album in five years. Every time he drops, it always feels like an intimate invitation into his rather recluse and private world. This time felt particularly significant since it’s the first project since his boundaries had been violated publicly. In 2022, a sex tape involving Rashad and another man surfaced online and immediately put his sexuality in front of the court of public opinion.

“I went through some shit to an extent, but it was, you know… between being an artist and the expectations of that, and I guess the deconstruction of my masculinity, it’s been a lot of getting to know myself,” he explained during a recent interview with The Breakfast Club. “I’m blessed to how everything happened with me,” he continued. “And the reception of everything. Because it allowed me to really step back and re-examine what I was doing. ‘Cause regardless of how much I love myself, I still put myself in an irresponsible situation for anyone to control my narrative.”

Rashad added, “At some point, I’ve accepted that they don’t make a manual for being a bisexual Black men or any of that type of shit. It was less hiding myself from anything, and more so not knowing how to not be ostracized.”

Isaiah Rashad previously expressed gratitude to his fans at Coachella after the leak and later, opened up during an interview with Joe Budden.

Offset & Quavo Make The Migos Reunion Instagram Official

Alexander Cole — Wed, 06 May 2026 17:20:57 +0000

In 2022, Takeoff was tragically killed. At the time, Offset and Quavo were in the midst of a feud stemming from some unfortunate personal matters. Following Takeoff’s passing, a partial Migos reunion was impossible to fathom.

However, in 2023, Offset and Quavo put aside their differences to honor Takeoff with a performance at the BET Awards. It was a truly special moment, and one that fans would not soon forget. That said, the two decided to go their separate ways and continue their solo careers.

Recently, the idea of a Migos reunion has become an actual possibility. We say this because Offset and Quavo were spotted in the studio over the weekend. The two did not shy away from taking photos of this momentous occasion. As you can imagine, the studio session led to lots of speculation about what might be on the horizon.

For instance, some suggested that Offset and Quavo could be preparing a verse for Drake’s upcoming ICEMAN album. Today, the Migos Instagram account returned following a two-year hiatus, with a photo of Quavo and Offset in the studio. The account captioned the post with some construction emojis.

Simply put, the reunion has become Instagram official. For now, however, we still don’t know exactly what the two have planned. What we do know is that Offset and Quavo have always had phenomenal musical chemistry together. It’s been a while since they made a track with one another, but we imagine their partnership is just like riding a bike.

With the Summer approaching, we will certainly be keeping an eye on these two. A collab album or even just a song from these two would be a huge moment for not just hip-hop, but these two men as individuals. They have been through a lot, and you can’t help but root for them both.

Timothee Chalamet Flexes His Adidas AE 2 Collection On Instagram

Ben Atkinson — Wed, 06 May 2026 17:18:49 +0000

Timothée Chalamet is clearly an AE 2 guy. During the Believe That Awards Chalamet made a virtual appearance and used the moment to casually flex his Adidas AE 2 collection on Instagram. Three pairs laid out on the floor, drool emoji. That’s the whole post.

The three colorways visible in the photo appear to be the “Lucid Orange” All-Star pair, the “Antlanta” green and teal version, and the “Glow” black and lime burst colorway. All three retail for $130. Chalamet just has all of them sitting on his floor like it’s nothing.

This isn’t Chalamet’s first AE 2 moment either. He previously wore the All-Star colorway during a pickup basketball game in Beijing while promoting Marty Supreme. The man clearly plays in these, not just collects them.

He’s also been courtside at multiple Knicks playoff games this month in Adidas wearing Stan Smiths for the first round, Sambas for Game 1 against the Sixers. Whether he has a formal deal with the brand or is just wearing Adidas everywhere is unclear.

Anthony Edwards seeing his biggest cultural co-sign come from an Oscar-nominated actor showing off his shoe collection on Instagram is a different kind of win. Ant-Man’s shoes are everywhere right now, and Chalamet is a big reason why.

The Adidas AE 2 is Anthony Edwards’ 2nd signature sneaker, built in a lower cut than the original AE 1, sitting somewhere between a mid and a low top. The shoe features Lightstrike cushioning for lightweight responsiveness and Boost technology for energy return.

Also it has mixed materials upper that balances support and flexibility through quick direction changes. Overlays on the toe add containment and structure, while fake carbon fiber panels on the heel keep the foot locked in.

The three colorways in Chalamet’s photo span the range of what the AE 2 has to offer: loud orange, earthy green, and neon lime. The standard retail for the Adidas AE 2 is $130 as well.

DJ Whoo Kid Suggests Kendrick Lamar’s “Moment” Can’t Compare To Drake’s Commercial Dominance

Aron A. — Wed, 06 May 2026 16:24:47 +0000

We’re less than 10 days away from the release of ICEMAN. Exciting. As we pass the two-year anniversary of “Not Like Us” and “The Heart Pt. 6,” Drake’s revving up for the most consequential album of his career, one that either proves the naysayers wrong or upholds the general sentiment surrounding his presence in hip-hop for the past two years. However, the narrative that once dominated the news cycle seems to be turning in his favor as plenty of the OGs have expressed their disappointment in rap’s decline as a result of Drake’s absence.

Most recently, DJ Whoo Kid chimed in on the hype around Drake’s upcoming release during an interview with Diverse Mentality, as well as the duration of Kendrick’s reign at the top. While discussing the story behind the “Whoo Kid” drop on Drake’s “Push Ups,” he argued that Kendrick’s success was a “moment.” “Everything is a moment. Kendrick had his moment. Six months, he’s the man. Then he [did] Super Bowl, he’s the man,” Whoo Kid explained.

In contrast, the legendary DJ said that Drake’s often used patience as a tool and it shows in his longevity. “As you can see, where has hip-hop been? There’s no Billboard chart, there’s no nothing,” he continued, acknowledging that Max B, French Montana and Sexyy Red might be an exception to that. “I’m not an expert in this. I know when [Drake’s] here, we’re on the charts,” he added.

Kendrick Lamar’s “Moment” Vs. Drake’s Longevity, According To Whoo Kid

DJ Whoo Kid reflects on the Drake & Kendrick Lamar beef, saying Kendrick had his moment but hip-hop has been suffering commercially without Drake:

"Kendrick had his moment. You know, 6 months, he's the man. Super Bowl, he's the man. But the thing about Drake, he uses patience as… pic.twitter.com/J2OyE1kLsL
— HotNewHipHop (@HotNewHipHop) May 6, 2026

Whoo Kid’s assessment lines up with recent headlines regarding hip-hop’s drop from the Hot 100 recently. A few weeks ago, fans realized that the last hip-hop song in the Billboard Hot 100 was Drake’s “What Did I Miss.” Since then, it’s been sorely lacking. Meanwhile, people like Fat Joe, Talib Kweli and The Game have echoed similar sentiments regarding Drake’s dominance. Check out the clip above and sound off in the comment section below.

New Footage Shows Foolio’s Alleged Killer Attempting To Escape Interrogation Room

Alexander Cole — Wed, 06 May 2026 15:29:00 +0000

The Julio Foolio murder trial is currently in its second week. Overall, four men are on trial right now, including Isaiah Chance, 23, Sean Gathright, 20, Rashad Murphy, 32, and Davion Murphy, 29. These men are facing first-degree murder and conspiracy charges, according to News 4 Jax.

Foolio’s murder took place on June 23, 2024. If you remember, the artist was allegedly ambushed at a hotel where he was celebrating his birthday. Since that time, a woman named Alicia Andrews was found guilty of manslaughter. Andrews has not yet been sentenced as she currently awaits the status of a recent appeal.

With the trial marching forward, prosecutors are making their case and presenting new pieces of alleged evidence to the courtroom. For instance, this week, the prosecution presented a video of alleged killer Sean Gathright, pacing around the police interrogation room.

As you can see in the footage below, there is a blanket on the table, suggesting that Gathright had been in there for a while. Furthermore, he can be seen climbing on the table to make an escape through the ceiling.

Foolio Murder Trial Continues

During the trial, defendant Davion Murphy alleged that his grandmother had a heart attack upon hearing Foolio’s diss tracks towards him. Furthermore, there was a moment just a few weeks ago in which one of the defendants could be seen laughing in court.

All four men are in the midst of being tried at the same time, and face decades in prison if convicted. At this time, it is unknown how long the trial will go on for. However, the prosecution appears keen on taking its time building its case.

This is a story we will continue to follow over the coming days and weeks.
