Authorities allege Davis physically assaulted Rossel while she was working at the club. This led to criminal charges that included battery, attempted kidnapping, and false imprisonment before one felony count was later dismissed. The footage obtained during the investigation reportedly became a major part of the case. Investigators alleged the video supported Rossel’s account of the incident.

Further, Rossel has also filed a civil lawsuit against Davis. She alleged repeated abuse and violence during their relationship. In court filings and police reports, she accused the boxer of choking her, dragging her by her hair, threatening her, and forcibly restraining her during the alleged October altercation.

Davis has denied the allegations. Moreover, his legal team previously argued Rossel was attempting to extort him financially ahead of a lucrative fight. The new probation warrant reportedly stems from Maryland officials determining the Miami case violated terms connected to Davis’ earlier 2020 hit-and-run conviction in Baltimore. Davis previously pleaded guilty to the crash that injured four people, including a pregnant woman. He was reportedly sentenced to 90 days of home detention, community service, and three years of probation. Additionally, he later served additional jail time after violating the terms of his home detention arrangement.

If you’re not familiar with the singer Lamb, she’s been all over the timeline as of late, earning some impressive co-signs from just about everyone in the music industry. But with people like Drake and SZA taking a liking to her unique blend of genres, from indie to electronic to hip-hop, we might be in the middle of seeing a new star skyrocket this summer. Her single “overkill” has been inescapable, and with the recent release of her EP, c r e a t u r e s, we finally have a body of work to chew on.

Will she be the next to blow up? It’s looking like that. Below, we’re diving into everything we need to know about Lamb.

Who Is Lamb?

Born and raised in Venice Beach, California, Lamb credits the eclectic streets of Los Angeles’ creative underbelly for fueling her artistic vision. Dazed Digital said that she was 21 years old when the year started. She revealed in that interview that her stage name dates back to a childhood anecdote involving a tantrum over a stuffed lamb at a mattress store, gifted by a kind cashier. Her mom, who comes from Brazil, calls her “lambinia” because of that.

From a young age, she’s shown a keen interest in music and performance, being in the choir her whole life and theatre during her schooling years. Although she dropped out of school at 15, she revealed in an interview that she was the president and founder of the school rap club between grades 6 and 8, where they would “freestyle during the extended lunch periods on Wednesdays in front of the whole school.” Lamb said that this experience started her “love for meter coexisting with writing.”

Influences

The musical foundation for Lamb is quite expansive, though it all makes sense in their own way. She told Good Call Music that her older brother exposed her to everything from System of a Down to James Blake while Adele provided the inspiration to write her first song. She’s cited classical compositions as a primary influence, along with Miles Davis, Stevie Wonder’s expansive Songs In The Key of Life, and old-school hip-hop acts such as A Tribe Called Quest, Cypress Hill, Nas, and later Isaiah Rashad. 

Lamb also credits the era where electronic artists like Skrillex, Disclosure, and Flume were dominating. “That time period when people were really experimenting with new walls of sound and the incorporation of clean/crisp vocals,” she said. 

The Breakout Moment

Although it would appear that she blew up out of nowhere, she has been making and releasing music for quite some time. Earlier this year, she started posting music regularly on social media to gain more exposure while working as a waitress with 600 Instagram followers and 21 monthly listeners on Spotify.

“Overkill” meshes Jersey Club with indie vocals in a way that feels refreshing and different–an intentional effort. “I have this theory that beats aren’t made for any specific [sound]. What’s so cool about music is that it’s interpretive. When I hear a jersey club beat, I don’t only hear a hard-ass drill rapper over it, I hear really intricate melodies that fall into a specific meter. I’m just trying to create room for a lot of different genres to coexist. Whenever people ask me what I make, I say ‘electronic lyrical’ or ‘some weird third thing’,” she told Dazed.

“Overkill”

The social media persistence eventually ignited a wave because of “overkill” and its unique sound. The hypnotic crossover hit casts her as an unapologetically obsessed ex-girlfriend willing to go to extremes for validation and connection. Though she admits that it’s in part a character that she puts on as Lamb, who she differentiates from Jules, it’s a hilarious and infectious song that’s equally relatable as it is emotionally intense. 

By late February 2026, she had quit her day job, skyrocketed past 100,000 monthly listeners on Spotify, and garnered massive industry attention. 

However, she emphasizes that the prior groundwork and a clear artistic vision is what set her up for her current success. Her follow-ups, like “Fort,” and remixes of “overkill” from Gunnr and Badger, have aided in her come-up. On May 22nd, she unveiled her first EP, c r e a t u r e s, including her breakout anthem.

On top of having just innate talents and understanding of music, the co-signs Lamb garnered have undoubtedly cemented her as the one to look out for. If you skim through the comment section of her Instagram page, which now has over 82,000 followers, you’ll find a long list of high-profile names singing her praises. Russ was someone who took a liking to her early on, along with both Drake and SZA. Diplo has also shown her love, among many others.

With Drake’s MAID OF HONOUR leaning into his electronic influences, could a collaboration with Lamb be on the horizon? It seems quite possible. As spotted by Kids Take Over, the two recently linked up with Lamb giving Drizzy an early preview of her music video.

Court filings allege the incident involved armed intimidation, stolen items, and multiple victims connected to a studio meetup in Texas earlier this year. Pooh Shiesty is facing federal charges, including kidnapping, Hobbs Act robbery, conspiracy to commit robbery, and firearms offenses tied to the alleged use and brandishing of weapons during a violent crime. The rapper has denied the allegations and entered a not-guilty plea, while the case has expanded into a complicated, multi-defendant federal prosecution involving evidence gathered by several law enforcement agencies.

The case reportedly took another turn this week after Pooh Shiesty’s attorneys filed motions asking the court to formally recognize the prosecution as legally “complex” and restructure the trial schedule accordingly. Defense lawyers Dan Cogdell, John Helms, and Kent Schaffer argued they are still working through a massive amount of material turned over by prosecutors, including thousands of pages of investigative records and extensive digital evidence. This includes recordings, search warrants, and surveillance-related files.

According to the filing, both the government and defense agreed that additional time is needed before the matter can realistically proceed to trial. The request would also suspend certain Speedy Trial deadlines while attorneys continue preparing for what is shaping up to be one of the most closely watched federal Rap cases.

The last project we got from YG was 2024’s Just Re’d Up 3. Before that, he dropped off a collaborative album with Tyga. Now, however, it appears as though YG has found himself back in album rollout mode.

We say this because earlier today, the artist revealed that he is dropping a new album called The Gentlemen’s Club. He unveiled the artwork, which features YG in a dapper peacoat and formal attire. From there, it was revealed that the album would officially be released on June 19, which is in less than a month from now.

New YG Album Coming Soon

For now, we do not know who the features are going to be. We are also unsure of what the tracklist is going to look like, whether long or short. What we do know is that YG is adding to what has become a stacked year for music.

So far, we have gotten new albums from A$AP Rocky, J. Cole, Don Toliver, Yeat, Baby Keem, Kanye West, and, of course, Drake. With YG adding his name to the mix, it is clear that some of rap’s biggest names have been eager to make this a year to remember in hip-hop.

YG is an artist who will be fun to hear from. We cannot wait to hear what his artistic evolution has been since his last album. We are also eager to hear what kind of features he will prepare for this album. Whatever the case, fans will be locked in come June 19.

On the Billboard Hot 100, Drake was able to log 42 tracks. Furthermore, he was able to secure a number one hit with “Janice STFU.” This is easily the biggest song on ICEMAN, which some fans proclaim to be the song of the summer so far.

Recently, an old clip from The Joe Budden Podcast went viral, and now, fans seem to believe “Janice STFU” is actually a diss track aimed at Joe Budden. Why? Well, in the clip below, Budden claims that his “given white woman name is Janice.” Later in the clip, he tells his co-hosts to “shut the f*ck up.”

Joe Budden’s “White Woman Name”

Quite frankly, this is way too big a coincidence to ignore. By now, everyone should know that Drake sees everything. He is also willing to turn anything into a diss. The artist loves himself some riddles, and oftentimes, that shines through in the music.

Whether or not Drake actually meant this to be a diss towards Budden is something that has not been confirmed. However, there is no doubt that the theories are going to be buzzing in the aftermath of this clip going viral.

Drake and Joe Budden have had an adversarial relationship for quite some time now. Drizzy even took shots at Budden directly on “Make Them Remember.” Needless to say, there is a precedent for Drake to take some big-time shots.

Only time will tell whether or not Budden comments on this old video. If he does, we’re sure he’ll take a humorous approach to his response.

In the aftermath of the shooting, Allstar JR made music videos aimed at people like J Prince Jr. Subsequently, there was an investigation into the alleged shooting, and Allstar JR was arrested. He was then charged with possession of a firearm as a convicted felon. He now faces 15 years in prison on this federal charge, and a trial is set for July 6.

In the meantime, there has been some speculation about NBA Ben10 and his condition. Some have said he is paralyzed, while others say he is in a wheelchair but will be able to walk in due time.

On Wednesday, NBA Ben10 provided his fans with a concrete answer. In a video shared by DJ Akademiks on Instagram, it was shown that Ben10 is, indeed, in a wheelchair. However, his caption confirms that this is not permanent. Instead, it should take him a few months before he is back walking again.

There had been lots of speculation and online memes made in relation to this situation, which is certainly unfortunate. This remains a developing story, and we will be sure to bring you all of the latest news and updates from around the hip-hop world.

Recently, Drake went number one on the charts with his song “Janice STFU.” This gives him 14 number-one singles, which gives him the record for most number ones by a male solo artist. Of course, the record previously belonged to Michael Jackson.

While surpassing Michael Jackson is a huge achievement, Charlamagne isn’t so impressed. In fact, he sees this as living proof that sometimes, numbers are just numbers, and not a true testament when it comes to cultural impact.

“This is why I say numbers lie. ‘Cause does Drake have the numbers? Yes. Does Drake have music that will stand the test of time? Yes. But, we know that a lot of the music that Drake makes does not have the cultural impact of an ‘Off the Wall’ or a ‘Thriller,'” Charlamagne explained.

Charlamagne Tha God On Drake’s Record

We can certainly see what Charlamagne Tha God means here. There are a few Drake number ones that feel like they should never have been there to begin with. He has a lot of one-week wonders, which certainly takes away from the achievement.

However, 14 number ones is still no easy task, and it is just further proof that Drake is an artist that the fans want to listen to, no matter what. ICEMAN has brought the slaps, and when you chart 42 songs on the Hot 100 in one week, you have to be doing something right.

As for Charlamagne, he is certainly entitled to this opinion, and he is not necessarily wrong. That said, the Drake stan-base is not going to be amused in the slightest.

With that being said, it should come as no surprise that he was a guest on The Jason Lee Show. Lee is always looking for the juiciest quotes, and he knows how to provoke them out of people. In fact, during the opening minutes of his interview, Dame was ready to pounce, with NORE as his target.

As he explains in the clip below, Jay never believed in NORE and wasn’t interested in signing him to Roc-A-Fella. However, it was Dame Dash who was able to secure him a spot on the imprint. Dame then went on to say that he thinks it is weird for NORE to hold Jay in such high esteem when he won’t even give him an interview.

Elsewhere in the interview, Jason Lee spiced things up as he felt as though Dame wasn’t giving him straight answers. Instead, he felt as though the interview had completely devolved into an argument.

Dame felt like Lee was trying to do him like Charlamagne Tha God. This subsequently led to a verbal spat in which Dame called Charlamagne “gay.” Lee found this very amusing and said he wouldn’t mind living in a house with Charlamagne like The Golden Girls.

The interview is two hours long and can currently be found on the BET Networks YouTube channel. This is certainly going to be one of Jason Lee’s biggest interviews of the year, as Dame remains a compelling guest, who says what he thinks.

His latest feats on the chart have allowed Drake to surpass several legends, including Jay-Z, for the most #1 albums on the chart for a hip-hop artist, and Michael Jackson. Drake now has more #1 hits than the King of Pop himself. But, with this particular feat, some feel as though the Canadian artist has now surpassed Michael Jackson in every other aspect.

Most people would disagree with that statement entirely, including Drake’s most vocal supporter, DJ Akademiks. During a recent livestream, Ak explained that Drake’s musical accomplishments, while impressive, do not solely put him in the same category as Michael Jackson.

Akademiks Describes Michael Jackson As The Gold Standard

“I think he’s put up a lot of musical accomplishments that maybe surpass Michael in certain things but there is one gold standard for when it comes to how popular someone is, it’s Michael Jackson,” Ak explained. “I don’t think it’s an indictment of Drake. Let me explain: I think back then, if you’re the king of pop, there wasn’t a million subgenres. Like, put it like this, Mike would’ve been Bad Bunny, Taylor Swift, and Drake in one.”

Akademiks added that in the way that all three artists have their own separate fanbases, Michael Jackson would have all three fanbases as one. 

“These days, Drake could  be still one of the biggest but the majority, like, you know, he’s liked by hip-hop fans and pop fans. Bad Bunny’s liked by Latin fans. A lot of people who like Taylor Swift as pop fans are country fans,” he explained. “People just like Michael Jackson, no matter what. If you listened to music, you liked him.”

Do you agree with Akademiks? Let us know in the comments below.

However, their latest single, “What You Saying,” has proven to be a massive hit. It is a song that fans are rocking with, and it has proven to be a darling of the streaming platforms. With that being said, the fans are hoping for a new album, and they would love something that embraces this new sound.

Well, as it turns out, Uzi might just be in album mode after all. According to Kurrco, the artist has been spotted following two new Instagram accounts that suggest an album has been turned in.

Lil Uzi Vert Is Working Hard

While Uzi has not confirmed that these Instagram accounts belong to them, it seems as though they are burner accounts of some kind. There are very few posts on these accounts, and they speak about new albums and other such oddities.

Given how long it has been since the release of Eternal Atake 2, it makes sense that now would be the time for Uzi to get things together and drop a new project. Whether or not we are going to get a release date anytime soon is something that very much remains to be seen.

Uzi has been known to delay projects and be a bit coy with these kinds of things, so for now, the fans will just have to exercise a bit of patience, even if that is easier said than done.
