R. Kelly's Lawyer Addresses Girlfriends Fight, Denies Azriel Clary's Underage Sex Claim = 01/08/2020
R. Kelly's lawyer swiftly responds to the viral clip of Azriel Clary & Joycelyn Savage.
As stated time and time again over the course of the past year, the empire R. Kelly built is crumbling day by day, even the ones who have been riding for him throughout the past few years. Azriel Clary and Joycelyn Savage, the two girlfriends that were previously living with him, seemed to have a falling out and with the power of social media, it was caught on camera. Apparently, the entire thing was over Clary bringing another man into Kelly's home which Savage said was "disrespectful."
Clary dropped a bombshell during the dispute, claiming Joycelyn Savage had sex with her when she was a minor. "You were sleeping with me as a minor," Clary yelled during the video. "You're going to jail, mama!" That wasn't all though, Clary took to Instagram Live where she admitted, "Rob has been lying to all of y’all. And that’s the sad part about it. He’s been lying to y’all asses and had people like me lying for him. And that’s why we never watched the documentary."
Steve Greenberg, R. Kelly's attorney, told TMZ that he isn't concerned about these allegations much. "I have a statement written by Azriel that she provided to me, voluntarily, after Robert was already in jail, that said she never had sex with him when she was under aged," he said. "As far as this little cat fight, it is clear that it was staged to try and boost social media popularity.”
To add salt to the wound, this all went down on the singer's 53rd birthday.

DaBaby Will Wind Up Like Bobby Shmurda If He Doesn't Change His Ways: Joe Budden = 01/07/2020
DaBaby has been arrested twice in the last thirty days.
DaBaby has requested that everybody stop focusing on his recent arrests but, upon Joe Budden's return to his regular podcasting duties, he did quite the opposite. Discussing the hottest topics in hip-hop from over the holidays with Rory and Mal, Joe Budden went in-depth on the rise of Griselda, Drake's interview on Rap Radar, and much more. The crew spent approximately fifteen minutes discussing what's been going on with DaBaby in recent weeks, arguing about his current status in the rap game and how he continually finds himself in trouble. From that incident years ago at Walmart to his most-recent robbery case against a concert promoter, the North Carolina native has found himself being tailed by the police. If he doesn't switch up his methods soon though, Budden believes the hip-hop community may suffer a major blow.

If he doesn't switch up his methods soon though, Budden believes the hip-hop community may suffer a major blow.
If anything happened to DaBaby right now, the rap world would be devastated. He's currently one of the biggest artists in the world, contributing so much to the genre in such a short time. Budden drew a comparison between the KIRK artist and Bobby Shmurda, although the New York star had only truly delivered two hit records when he was shut down by the cops. Shmurda is expected to get out of prison this year but he spent the last five years of his life reflecting on how things could have been different had he not been involved in street life. Budden thinks that, unless DaBaby makes major changes in his composure, he may have a similar future.
"We were all feeling this exact same way about Bobby Shmurda," says Budden in his latest podcast, likening the two stars. "[Bobby] was a young kid who came from a certain life and was having a whole lot of fun and making a wave for himself. And then he allegedly didn't stop certain behavior, [the police] came and snatched him and then hip-hop suffered. Boy, would hip-hop suffer if that same thing happened to DaBaby. And if he continues to allegedly beat people up at potato chip stands, airports and after the show, that is exactly what will happen and we as a whole will be sad about it."
See what he had to say near the end of the video below.

Melii Announces No New Music In 2020: "No Project No Joint Projects" 01/06/2020
The singer is taking a break.
We're six days into 2020 and artists are already promising one helluva ride musically as they announce long-awaited project releases. Drake and Future teased their What a Time to Be Alive 2 joint album, Lil Uzi Vert may finally drop Eternal Atake, Beliebers are losing it at the prospect of Justin Bieber's next record, The Weeknd made a triumphant return with two new singles, Megan Thee Stallion told NPR that she has a new persona for her next LP, and we can only cross our fingers that Rihanna will stop teasing the world about her next project.

However, rising artist Melii is going a different route and stepping away from the industry for 2020. In March 2019, Melii dropped her debut project phAses featuring Tory Lanez and A Boogie Wit da Hoodie, and she spent months touring with Summer Walker. Fans hoped that they would hear more from the singer this year, but she took to Instagram to share that she was taking a break.
"Haven't been on here but this year I will not be making music," she reportedly wrote, according. "No project no joint projects either. sorry to my fans love u meliimob and happy newyears." A Twitter user added that Melii's decision to retreat for a time was because of the evils of the industry. Melii hasn't been too active on social media as of late, outside of sharing images and clips on her Instagram Story, so fans hope that she's doing well.

Lizzo Announces Break From Twitter: "Too Many Trolls" 01/05/2020
Lizzo is stepping away from social media.
The year is barely broken in, and Lizzo is already announcing a detox from the social media space. It was on Sunday that the songstress and instrumentalist took to Twitter to reveal that she's had enough of the Internet's worse.
"Yeah I can’t do this Twitter shit no more.. too many trolls," she wrote in one tweet. "I’ll be back when I feel like it."

I’ll be back when I feel like it.
Lizzo's newest announcement arrives in the midst of growing public scrutiny with many resorting to the singer's physique as a means of attack while also finding issues with her choice of decorum (see: the thong dress at the Lakers game). Most recently, she was tasked with responding to Dr. Boyce Watkins who asserted that the singer was only popular because of the "obesity epidemic in America."
"Rather than encouraging people to do better, we are simply lying to them and telling them that they are just fine the way they are," Watkins said. "Many of these people are dying from diabetes and heart disease."
Lizzo soon clapped back with a response of her own, attributing her success to her actual talent and accusing Watkins of digging for clout at her expense.
"I’m popular because I write good songs and I’m talented and perform high energy hour and a half shows filled with love," Lizzo replied. "The only person who needs to do better is you. Keep my name out ya mouth & look in the mirror before you come for me. Here’s the attention you ordered."
Let's hope that this break gives Lizzo the clarity that she needs to continue capitalizing off the monstrous year that was 2019.

Iggy Azalea Cuddles Koala To Raise Money For Australia Bushfires Relief = 01/04/2020
Iggy calling attention to a crisis in her homeland.
Bushfires have been devastating regions of Australia since November and they continue to intensify. At least 18 people have been pronounced dead, more are missing and over 1,500 homes have been burned down. These fires are significantly harming the wildlife of impacted areas as well. According to the University of Sydney, nearly half a billion animals, including mammals, birds, and reptiles, likely died in the fires of New South Wales alone. The destroyed habitat of the already-endangered koala is a particular cause for concern, as Iggy Azalea highlighted in her latest Instagram post.
On Friday, Azalea visited the Currumbin Wildlife Hospital in Queensland to see some of the animals affected by the bushfires and to raise awareness of their plight. "Got to visit this cutie yesterday," the Aussie rapper captioned a photo of her holding a koala. "As well as so many animals injured & rehabilitated at @currumbinwildlifehospital Thankyou guys for letting me hangout!!! did you know over 30% of the Koalas natural habitat in NSW has been destroyed by the bushfires Australia is currently battling? The saddest part is, that’s not even the biggest threat to their survival. Please donate if you can guys, anything helps."

Boosie Badazz Loves Rihanna, Compares Her Good Looks Uncle's Potato Salad = 01/03/2020
His love for RiRi will never end.
By now, the entire world knows that Boosie Badazz has a soft spot for Rihanna. Over the years, the rapper has made it clear that if the Savage x Fenty mogul would have him, he'd be more than eager to blissfully live his life as Mr. Fenty. Last year, Boosie shared a video of himself dancing with the caption, "HOW IM GO BE WHEN I GET THAT CALL FROM @badgalriri." However, because she's happily in love with her billionaire boyfriend Hassan Jameel, all the shots Boosie's has taken have missed their marks.

However, because she's happily in love with her billionaire boyfriend Hassan Jameel, all the shots Boosie's has taken have missed their marks.
In another clip from his VladTV interview, Boosie said he still wants Ri, but he knows it's not meant to be. "Rihanna don't want me, man," Boosie said sadly. "I still love her. She a beautiful woman. Everybody got people who they infatuated with. That's one thing... Every artist in this game got somebody who they infatuated with, like, they f*ck with. They just f*ck with them. But, Rihanna don't want me though. Imma real n*gga. It'll be beautiful."
Boosie has slid into Rihanna's DMs and recalled seeing some of her sexy images on Instagram. "I seen that picture, I was like, 'Lord Jesus,'" he said. "That girl look like my uncle potato salad. I swear to god. My mouth was wet like a dog. You know when that dog [pants]. I said, 'Lord Jesus, this is a beautiful black woman. They got some beautiful women in the world and she one of 'em. And she a boss. That up the grade. She just a boss. I don't see how a n*gga let that go."
Then, Vlad looked up her net worth and told Boosie that Rihanna is worth $600 million. "I'll make her worth $600 billion," he said. "Imma hustler." Watch his lustful clip below.

Smokepurpp Clears Up Whether Travis Scott Dropped Him From Cactus Jack Records = 01/02/2020
Smokepurpp is not associated with Cactus Jack Records.
Florida native Smokepurpp is seen by some as the driving force behind the "SoundCloud rap" phase a few years ago. Buzzing next to his best friend Lil Pump, Purpp blew up from his Deadstar mixtape, releasing the sequel several weeks ago. The 22-year-old is not necessarily very well respected by parts of the hip-hop community, especially the group that prefers lyrics and delivery over vibes. Purpp isn't for everybody and his initial signing to Travis Scott's Cactus Jack Records seemed like an odd pairing to some. When the JACKBOYS project was released last week, a number of fans were expecting Smokepurpp to be featured alongside Sheck Wes, Don Toliver, and La Flame himself. When he was nowhere to be found, he had some explaining to do on social media.

— XXL Magazine (@XXL) September 29, 2017
Contrary to popular belief, Smokepurpp is no longer signed to Cactus Jack Records. For much of 2019, the rapper's releases were planned through Interscope and Alamo, which he clarified in reply to a supporter's comment.
"You got dropped from Cactus Jack?" asked a fan on Purpp's latest addition to his Instagram page. He responded by clarifying that it was his choice to leave the label, opting to work with other forces instead. "Naw I went to Interscope/Alamo," cleared up Purpp. The split between himself and Cactus Jack Records was quiet but it appears to have taken places months ago.
Do you think Smokepurpp should have stuck with Travis Scott?

Fetty Wap Clears "Million Dollars In Legal Troubles," Previews New Music = 01/01/2020
He even cracked an eye joke for the fun of it.
It was a rough 2019 for Fetty Wap. The rapper celebrated releases of new singles and continued to perform for thousands of fans around the world, but his legal problems were catching up to him. There was news of an investigation into an alleged assault involving a woman, and then he was arrested following a physical altercation outside of a Las Vegas hotel. At times he was at odds was his baby mamas or his wife who aired out their grievances on social media, and later he revealed that Alexis Skyy's daughter wasn't biologically his child.
