This subsequently led to Trump calling Smith a low-IQ individual. It was the kind of low blow that you would expect from the President. On First Take on Tuesday, Smith decided to clap back at Trump in his mob boss tone.

“You wanna talk about IQ, I could say I could put my IQ against yours, I got something even better I could ask you why you been running from me for the past year since I asked you to talk to me, I could ask you to debate me since you think you’re that dude. We could go a myriad of ways,” Smith said.

On Wednesday, Trump decided to respond by attacking Smith’s intelligence all over again. He also suggested that the ESPN analyst would lose a debate, regardless of his competition.

Donald Trump vs. Stephen A.

“Stephen A. Smith is an arrogant fool, a low-IQ individual. In other words, he’s ‘dumb as a rock,'” Trump said. “He’d get annihilated in a debate by the most incompetent politician.”

Needless to say, these two do not like each other one bit, and that is probably not going to change anytime soon. At the end of the day, Trump is a stubborn person, and in many ways, so is Stephen A. When you put these personalities together, well, you get feuds like this.

Much to Smith’s delight, Trump will not be at the Knicks game tonight. Therefore, the Knicks may just secure a victory.

For whatever reason, fans began to sour on his sound. Nicknames like Piano G and Guitar G were bestowed upon him as many of his singles followed a specific formula. From there, every time the artist would try to drop, people online would offer the same tired critiques.

Quite frankly, Polo G and Roddy Ricch suffered very similar trajectories. While Polo G is still out here making music, there are still people on the internet who are quick to hate.

Having said that, the artist’s latest admission is doing him absolutely no favors. During his own live stream, he spoke about how he was not invited to Streamer University. Furthermore, he noted that he looks up to Kai Cenat and that his own live streams are still growing.

Polo G Admits He’s Sad

“I’m tryna get like big bro and them (AMP)… I got 160 viewers because i’m an up and coming streamer, get off my d**k,” Polo G explained.

This clip went viral on social media, with many exclaiming just how sad it all is. In the eyes of the internet, it makes no sense for Polo G to feel this way when he had platinum plaques before Cenat was even a household name.

Fans React

In the Tweets below, you will see exactly how fans feel about all of this. Some call it a “nasty” fall-off, while others just feel bad for Polo G. All of this is just another example of how streamers have overtaken the zeitgeist. Top streamers are seen as the “in” group, while some artists are left on the outside looking in.

In today’s culture, things change fast, and this is even more proof of that.

Despite being Akademiks’ mentor during his come-up, it appears as though there is some tension between Charlamagne and Akademiks. One just has to look at the Akademiks TV X account to understand what we mean.

All of this has piqued the interest of Joe Budden, who enjoys analyzing the hip-hop media landscape from afar. While he does get into his own feuds, he has no problem commenting on the feuds between others, and this was no exception.

“I’ve been too busy to do my real deep dive on AK to see what’s going on.. I gotta get to the bottom of what’s going on between AK & Charlamagne,” Budden explained.

Joe Budden Enters The Conversation

As a top-tier lyricist who understands the art of sneak dissing, Budden can spot subliminals from a mile away. As it pertains to Akademiks and Charlamagne, tension is something that he clocked ages ago.

“I’ve been called them two sending shots for ages and everyone told me I was crazy,” Budden told his co-hosts. It is an astute observation, and one has to wonder where it might be coming from.

When it comes to current-day rap philosophies, Ak finds himself on the side of Drake, while Charlamagne is on the side of Jay-Z. When you put it like that, you can see a scenario in which there would be tension. However, you also can’t help but feel like Akademiks TV might be going a bit too far.

Ross’s last solo album came in 2021 with the release of Richer Than I Ever Been. However, he’s been readying for the release of his follow-up, Set In Stone. While the announcement initially arrived after his Verzuz with French Montana, with a release date set for June 12th, it appears that he has quickly pushed the release date back by a bit. Fans noticed that the pre-save link on Apple Music now shows that the album will be due out next month, on July 17th.

So far, Ross hasn’t indicated who might appear on the album or anything related to the tracklist. Considering the recent Verzuz with French Montana, it wouldn’t be shocking if we see the two reunite for Set In Stone.

Back in 2019, Powell appeared on No Jumper, where she explained that the artist allegedly raped her. She claimed that he had locked her in a bathroom and eventually forced himself upon her. Powell claims the two were supposed to meet for a consensual encounter. However, when she changed her mind, Trey Songz allegedly acted in a violent manner, and that is when the alleged incident happened.

Throughout the years, these allegations against Songz have persisted. While he has responded and claimed his innocence, Powell continues to talk about the alleged incident on podcasts.

Recently, Powell’s initial claims from 2019 resurfaced on social media. Below, you can find the initial story, which was recounted to Adam22.

Celina Powell Accuses Trey Songz Of Rape

“I followed him to his house ready to get some d*ck, saw bunch of girls at his place, and I wasn’t down no more,” she explained. “He locked me in the bathroom. […] Dropped the charges kept it pushing.”

Songz also faced rape allegations from Dylan Gonzalez. He subsequently faced a civil rape case in 2022, although it was eventually dismissed.

Each time these allegations have presented themselves, Trey Songz has reiterated his innocence. Regardless, the resurfacing of Powell’s allegations has certainly stirred up conversation online.

This remains a developing story, and we will be sure to keep you informed.

An explained that Ye chose her alongside two other models to be in the video with him after she and the other models went to the Chelsea Hotel in New York City for a shoot. However, she alleged that the other two women were ordered to leave the room when Ye asked her to sit down in front of him. 

“It started where he went up to my face, and he was like smearing my make-up on my face… in a way that felt wrong,” she said. “He started sticking his fingers in my mouth, and I feel like he was trying to touch as much as he could, and my tongue was actively, like, hiding from him. He just found everything.”

She also alleged that Ye choked her. “I remember feeling like, so suffocated, like unsure,” she added.

Kanye West’s Rep Responds To Allegations

The allegations were previously detailed in her lawsuit against Ye, where she alleged that he put his fingers down her throat and “gagged her to emulate forced oral sex.” However, a rep for the Chicago artist also cited a legal filing in the case where Ye’s attorneys said that the interaction between the two was solely for the purpose of artistic expression for the video while denying that there was any intent of sexual gratification or gender-based violence.

While Drake lost to Kendrick Lamar, most fans feel as though he at least got the better of Ross. Rozay has been put in some compromising situations involving Drake, particularly during his Verzuz against French Montana, when he refused to play Drizzy’s verses on his biggest songs.

Now, fans are wondering whether or not Drake’s lyrics on “Whisper My Name” were a dig at Rick Ross. This connection had previously gone undetected. However, after being photographed flying commercial at the airport, some fans believe Ross caught some strays over his flying habits.

Rick Ross At The Airport

“If I’m lyin’, I’m flyin’ economy, give me a motherfuckin’ seat/If I’m lyin’, I’m flyin’ economy, I bet I know who I see,” Drake raps on the song. Of course, there is no telling whether or not the lyrics and the situation at hand are connected. However, Drake’s biggest supporters couldn’t help but make some jokes at Ross’ expense.

At this point, Drake has successfully polarized his audience against anyone who has ever done him wrong. Therefore, when artists like Rick Ross are spotted doing innocuous things like flying commercial, they get hammered for it.

Ultimately, it’s a unique look into the world of Stan culture and how artists are able to weaponize their fanbases. When you become as big as Drake, you are going to amass passionate fans who are willing to do and say anything on your behalf. Unfortunately, for Ross, he is learning that the hard way.

Per All Hip Hop, documents filed with the New York Supreme Court show that G-Unit Books is asking the court to dismiss several counterclaims and defenses raised by Tompkins in the ongoing contract dispute. Tompkins references the anti-SLAPP law in New York City, which ultimately works to prevent individuals from lawsuits that allegedly target protected speech. She pushed back against the lawsuit filed against her, claiming that it’s an attempt to punish her for speaking publicly on 50 Cent in interviews and online.

G-Unit Books seeks to dismiss multiple defenses and counterclaims submitted by Tompkins. Court records indicate that two of her defenses may already be off the table after she failed to respond to arguments challenging them–a move that, under New York procedural rules, can be treated as abandonment.

But in response to the anti-SLAPP laws, G-Unit’s legal team pointed to precedent from a separate New York case involving Donald Trump and his niece, Mary Trump. In that case, the judge rejected anti-SLAPP arguments after concluding that the lawsuit centered on an alleged breach of a contractual agreement rather than an effort to suppress speech. G-Unit’s lawyers contend that the same reasoning applies here.

What Is The Lawsuit Involving 50 Cent About?

The lawsuit stems from an agreement signed in 2007, when Tompkins transferred rights related to her personal story to G-Unit Books in exchange for compensation. Tompkins has maintained that she entered the deal under financial and personal pressure, while G-Unit alleges that her later public comments and media appearances diminished the value of the rights it acquired.

Overall, these were big moments for the artist, and they were even bigger moments for the streamers involved. As it turns out, the artist is interested in keeping the good times rolling. ICEMAN has proven to be a massive success, and it only makes sense for Drake to become just a bit more visible.

According to DDG, that is exactly what the artist is planning on doing. During a recent stream, the controversial artist and streamer let it slip that Drake is planning on attending Kai Cenat’s Streamer University.

Drake x Kai Cenat

Just yesterday, we revealed that Kai Cenat would be returning to the streaming world. It had been months since Kai went live. However, that is about to change as the second iteration of Streamer University is upon us.

As DDG describes, Drake could very well be attending. Given his stature, Drake should be one of the teachers. That said, DDG also revealed that the Canadian megastar is interested in doing an “in real life” stream.

Overall, this is great news for Kai Cenat, who will certainly get a huge boost if Drake ends up on his stream. After all, Cenat’s return to the streaming world has been highly anticipated. Some felt like he might quit streaming for good.

If the Streamer University sequel is anything like the first one, then it will be a massive success.

Frankly, the staying power of some of Lil Baby’s latest releases is primarily what Akademiks has taken issue with, along with street politics. Every so often, Lil Baby drops off new music or previews a new song that doesn’t really sound that compelling in the first place. Most recently, he was spotted filming a music video for an upcoming song where he seemingly disses Akademiks.

“Fuck Akademiks, that n***a the feds,” Lil Baby raps. That isn’t a particularly new claim against Ak, but it’s one the media personality found ironic, given the drama surrounding the rapper’s affiliates in Atlanta.

“Half of Atlanta rappers documented on audio tape telling to cops including half the n***as he still call ‘TWIN’ … is this n***a stupid … if I’m the Feds… young thug the lieutenant I report to him,” Akademiks said in response.

Atlanta Sides With Akademiks?

Apparently, after Akademiks went off on Lil Baby, he got calls from “every Atlanta rapper” who he claims agreed with him. “Every rapper called me yesterday. Every Atlanta rapper. ‘Yo, Ak, yo, it’s just you and Baby, don’t go against the whole city. We love you now,’” Akademiks said. “They told me to chill out with the Atlanta stuff, but they said f*ck Baby. They all said f*ck Baby. They said, ‘No, you’re saying the truth, just don’t make it a full Atlanta thing.’”

Do you believe Akademiks? Do you think Atlanta is turning against Lil Baby? Let us know in the comment section below.
