50 Cent wasted no time continuing his ongoing feud with Sean “Diddy” Combs, following the news of an alleged sextape starring Diddy, 50’s baby mother Daphne Joy, and adult actor Sly Digger being leaked online. News of the leak spread across social media like wildfire on Sunday, May 31, with many people resurfacing an old VladTV interview that mentioned the tape’s existence. The first post rips Daphne Joy, who shares a son with 50. In the caption, 50 Cent wrote, “she’s not a victim, SIRE is can you imagine going to eighth grade to find out this is your mom. The court system in LA thinks it’s fine.” View this post on Instagram The caption quickly ignited debate over what 50 Cent was implying and who he was targeting in his comment section. Online reactions were split. One user, Rachel Buki, pushed back, writing, “No offense but you can’t say you didn’t know who she was before you made her the mother of your son?” 50 Cent Reacts To News Of Leaked Sextape Starring Sean “Diddy” Combs, Daphne Joy, & Sly Digger Others expressed concern for the child, with Coco Dominguez commenting, “That’s terrible. Sorry, you guys are going through that. Continue to stay as close to him as you can.” Tanisha Thomas added, “Please not the baby he’s innocent I know you’re hurt but this ain’t it.” Another commenter, Roxi Perkins, offered a different reading. “His POV is asking how the court system thinks this it’s ok for his child to be with her,” said Perkins. “And he’s pointing out that his child is the victim.” In a separate post, 50 Cent turned his attention back to Sean “Diddy” Combs. He wrote, “Free Diddy he has gone through enough being born with no penis. LOL .” The latest posts further confirm that the feud between the two moguls continues. Diddy has filed a lawsuit against 50 Cent and Netflix over the 2026 documentary, Sean Combs: The Reckoning.

Rapper Stunna Girl, real name Suzanne Sade Brown, was arrested in North Carolina on an outstanding failure-to-appear warrant tied to a criminal case that has remained pending since 2017, according TMZ. The recording artist, whose legal name has not been identified in publicly available records related to the arrest, was taken into custody Thursday night by the Mooresville Police Department during a traffic stop in Mooresville, North Carolina. This would eat as a album cover https://t.co/5xnGh5Vdbo — Stunna Girl News (@stunnagirlnews) May 29, 2026 Authorities said officers stopped a black-and-white Mercedes and subsequently discovered an active warrant connected to a prior criminal proceeding. Law enforcement officials have not disclosed the reason for the traffic stop. Following her arrest, Stunna Girl was booked into the Iredell County Detention Center on the outstanding warrant. Jail records indicate she secured release several hours later after posting a $3,500 bond. Rapper Stunna Girl Responds To North Carolina Mugshot Going Viral Court records show the warrant stemmed from an unresolved 2017 case in which prosecutors charged the rapper with trespassing and resisting a public officer. Records further indicate that she allegedly failed to appear in court on multiple occasions, prompting the issuance of the warrant that remained active until her recent arrest. The matter is scheduled to return to court on July 28, when proceedings in the nearly eight-year-old case are expected to continue. The arrest generated significant attention online after media outlets published the rapper’s booking photograph. Stunna Girl appeared to address the situation on social media shortly after her release. “This would eat as a album cover,” she wrote on X. The post quickly circulated across social media platforms. It drew reactions from supporters and critics alike while the underlying criminal matter remains pending. Despite the arrest, the rapper has continued her professional commitments. Publicly available event listings indicate she remains scheduled to perform Saturday at Crybaby nightclub in Oakland, California. Stunna Girl’s popularity has been steadily rising throughout 2026. She’s been constantly sought out by the biggest names in hip-hop streamers since her viral moment with rapper Blueface.

Rapper Sexyy Red doesn’t play about her obsession with Chicago hip-hop star Chief Keef, and pop star Katy Perry has been warned. Chief Keef and Katy Perry linked up in person on Thursday for the first time ever since they had their infamous 2013 beef. Social media made the video of Perry and Keef hugging and hanging out in an apparent practice studio go viral. Enters Sexyy Red. Sexyy Red not feeling Katy Perry being all over Chief Keef: “Watch out gang” pic.twitter.com/SrhlyK5U8o — My Mixtapez (@mymixtapez) May 29, 2026 After seeing the clip circulate online, Sexyy Red dropped a comment that instantly sent fans into detective mode: “Katy u koo but watch out gang.” On the surface, it sounded like a warning. In reality, fans treated it like classic Sexyy Red comedy. Rapper Sexyy Red Reacts To Katy Perry & Chief Keef’s Cozy Meeting Like A Hip-Hop Star Would The rapper has spent years publicly celebrating Chief Keef. She has praised him in interviews, referenced him on social media, and repeatedly made it clear that the Chicago legend ranks among her favorite artists. At various points, she has even joked about having a crush on him. That history transformed a simple Instagram comment into one of hip-hop’s funniest moments of the week. Fans quickly interpreted the remark as mock jealousy rather than genuine concern. The internet responded exactly how expected, filling comment sections with jokes about Sexyy Red protecting her longtime rap crush. The timing made the moment even funnier. Few people predicted Katy Perry and Chief Keef would ever become collaborators after their 2013 dispute. Fewer still expected Sexyy Red to insert herself into the reunion. In true hip-hop fashion, one hug turned into a viral storyline. And thanks to Sexyy’s comment, fans are now joking that Katy Perry may have recorded a song with Chief Keef, but she still has to clear things with his most loyal supporter first.

Brooklyn rapper Maino is pushing back against Complex’s recently released Top 50 Greatest New York City Rappers of All-Time list after noticing one name missing from the ranking: Kool G Rap. In a viral video posted on May 29, Maino questioned how one of hip-hop’s most influential lyricists could be excluded from a list celebrating New York rap greatness. The veteran MC argued that Kool G Rap’s impact on the genre extends far beyond album sales, chart positions, or mainstream visibility. “This one guy is the godfather of New York City street rap,” Maino said. “There’s not one artist in New York City that’s never inspired by Kool G Rap.” Maino reacts to Complex top 50 best New York rappers of all time saying Kool G Rap is the most disrespected rapper of all time: “This one guy is the godfather of New York City street rap, there’s not one artist in New York City that’s never inspired by Kool G Rap, I never seen a… https://t.co/iosqMTjasL pic.twitter.com/I2TTdmrc5d — Ahmed/The Ears/IG: BigBizTheGod (@big_business_) May 29, 2026 The comments quickly resonated across social media, where many hip-hop fans echoed his frustration. For decades, Kool G Rap has been regarded as one of rap’s most technically gifted writers. Emerging from Queens during hip-hop’s golden era, he helped pioneer the vivid street storytelling. His intricate rhyme structures and crime-focused narratives later became staples of East Coast rap. Before Nas, Jay-Z, and 50 Cent dominated the culture, Kool G Rap was crafting cinematic tales that influenced an entire generation. Brooklyn Rapper Maino Slams Complex For Exclusion Of Kool G Rap From Greatest NYC Rapper List Maino suggested that the omission reflects a larger problem with all-time rankings. In his view, lists often prioritize commercial success and popularity over artistic influence and cultural significance. “I never seen a list that ever had Kool G Rap,” Maino said, expressing disbelief at what he sees as a recurring oversight. While Kool G Rap never achieved the commercial heights of some rap superstars, his influence remains widely acknowledged. Many credit him with helping shape the lyrical style that became synonymous with New York street rap. Maino closed his argument by emphasizing the respect Kool G Rap commands within the culture. “Everybody listens to him knows how much he meant to the culture,” he said. The debate has since reignited discussions about how hip-hop history should be measured. For Maino, the issue goes beyond rankings. His comments educate hip-hop fans on the foundational figures like Kool G Rap. The comments recognize the blueprint that countless New York rappers later followed.

Clive Davis, one of music’s most powerful executives in hip-hop and R&B, was briefly hospitalized in New York City after developing an upper respiratory infection, according to a spokesperson. The spokesperson said Davis, 94, was admitted to a hospital “out of an abundance of caution” and was expected to be released within 24 hours. The hospitalization occurred less than a week after he attended the Gordon Parks Foundation Awards Dinner and Auction in Manhattan, where he appeared in good spirits. View this post on Instagram For more than six decades, Clive Davis has occupied a singular place in American music. Few executives have exercised comparable influence over the careers of recording artists or the direction of popular music. His work has spanned generations, from the rock revolution of the 1960s to the contemporary pop era. Davis began his ascent in 1967 when he became president of CBS Records. During that period, he signed artists who would become foundational figures in American music, including Janis Joplin and Santana. He later played a key role in the careers of Bruce Springsteen, Aerosmith, and Billy Joel, helping establish Columbia Records as one of the industry’s dominant labels. Clive Davis, Whitney Houston & Alicia Keys Executive, Hospitalized In New York City After leaving CBS Records in 1973, he led Arista Records, where he continued to identify and cultivate major talent. His roster included Patti Smith, the Kinks, and the Grateful Dead. He also guided the careers of Aretha Franklin and Dionne Warwick during pivotal stages of their professional lives. Perhaps no discovery became more closely associated with Mr. Davis than Whitney Houston, whom he signed in 1983. Their partnership produced one of the most successful careers in popular music history. In 2000, he founded J Records and continued mentoring emerging artists, including Alicia Keys, Jennifer Hudson, and Kelly Clarkson. That same year, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a non-performer, recognizing his contributions behind the scenes. Beyond the boardroom, Davis became known for his annual Grammy-week gathering, a fixture of the music calendar. Reflecting on the event earlier this year, he said: “Well, it’s exciting because it’s as star-filled as ever, if not more. But it’s the emotion of people looking forward to it that keeps me on my toes.” Though the hospitalization prompted concern, those close to Davis indicated the episode was temporary. His legacy, meanwhile, remains firmly embedded in the history of American music.

Young M.A. sits down with Mero and the Mornings With Mero crew to talk about her highly anticipated sophomore album Kween (out May 29th via MA Music), what it means to be independently successful while owning her masters and publishing, and how she powered through years of writer’s block to get back in the studio. She breaks down the inspiration behind the album title, her recording process at home, working with Tory Lanez on “Gal Dem” featuring the Sister Nancy sample, the fan-favorite “On Her Body,” and why she’s never felt the urge to sign with a major label. Plus — she opens up about acting plans with 50 Cent, her love of reggae and R&B, and what it feels like when the crowd knows every bar.

Soulja Boy’s first female artist, Litty Vuitton, is poised to take a major step forward in her career with the release of her highly anticipated album, 1-800-BABEMOTION, arriving this Friday. Alongside the project, the South Carolina native will debut its lead single, “YOGA.” As the first female artist signed to hip-hop trailblazer Soulja Boy, Litty Vuitton has steadily built momentum while carving out a lane uniquely her own. Born and raised in Columbia, South Carolina, Litty’s connection to music began early. Inspired by her father, a music producer, she started writing and recording songs as a child, developing a sound that reflects both her roots and her forward-thinking creative vision. Her latest project, 1-800-BABEMOTION, offers listeners an intimate look into her personal experiences and artistic evolution. Across the album, Litty explores themes of love, heartbreak, empowerment, self-discovery, and growth, balancing vulnerable storytelling with high-energy tracks that celebrate confidence and resilience. Leading the release is “YOGA,” a record designed to captivate listeners with its infectious energy and bold personality. The song showcases Litty’s ability to merge emotional relatability with undeniable replay value, creating a track that feels equally at home on playlists, social media platforms, and live stages. The forthcoming album arrives after a series of notable milestones for the artist. In June 2025, Litty released “Online Now,” a reimagining of Soulja Boy’s iconic hit “Crank That (Soulja Boy).” The track paid homage to one of hip-hop’s most recognizable records while introducing Litty’s own perspective and style to a new generation of listeners. “1-800-BABEMOTION represents different emotions, different experiences, and different versions of myself,” Litty Vuitton said in a statement. “I wanted to create something people could connect to while still having fun, feeling empowered, and seeing themselves in the music.” View this post on Instagram

Soulja Boy has been speaking more openly in recent days about his effort to step away from lean, a struggle he says has come with repeated setbacks and unexpected emotional shifts. In a clip circulating online from what appears to be a recent livestream, the rapper reflects on roughly a year of trying to stop, followed by periods where he returned to it. He describes a change in how he experiences his emotions now compared with earlier years, when he says the substance once dulled them more predictably. “I gotta kick the cup,” Soulja told fans, as seen below. “I don’t even drink lean no more, bruh. I stopped drinking lean for, like, a year. Then, sometimes I just be relapsing. Like, a week will go by or something, and just like, it ain’t even [that I’m] bored. I’mma say the truth. I be, like, overstimulated. When I be feeling overstimulated, I be having to pour up.” He frames those moments less as habit than as reaction, tied to feeling mentally overloaded. Soulja Boy admitted on live that he relapsed after a year of sobriety. He told viewers that lean makes him emotional, explaining that he pours up when he gets overstimulated and starts thinking about all the trauma and backstabbing from his past pic.twitter.com/toyqlo4fAK — livebitez (@livebitez) May 29, 2026 Soulja Boy Reflects on Substance use, Emotional Shift, and Stepping Away He went on to say the aftermath now feels very different from what he once associated with it. “Every time I pour up, I get in my feelings, bruh,” he said. “Like, every time. I used to pour up and all my feelings would go away. Like, I’d be numb to this shit. No matter how overstimulated I got, no matter what I was dealing with, n***a, I’ll pour up a cup, n***a, and just go about my day. Nobody would be able to bother me, and then I could do whatever I want. Now, n***a, I’ll pour up, and then I just be getting sad as a motherfucker.” The 35-year-old “Crank That” artist says the emotional impact is no longer avoidable, even when his day seems fine on the surface. “I start thinking about just the worst shit you could think of in your life,” he said. “I’m like, goddamn. … That shit just take my mind to a whole ‘nother place. It’s over with, fool. I gotta kick the cup, fool. It’s a wrap. I can’t pour no more, fool. I can’t be feeling like that.” He also revisited the subject in a 2021 interview with HOT 97, where he said the habit had been “deteriorating” his moods. At the time, he believed he had already stepped away from it, though his recent comments suggest the process has been less linear.

Latto offered a more reflective account of her recent comments about possibly stepping away from music during a conversation with Nadeska Alexis on Apple Music. The discussion returned to a post she made about Big Mama, which she once described online as a “retirement” album. Alexis raised the point gently but directly, noting that she had taken the statement with some skepticism at the time. The moment also comes in a period of personal transition for Latto, who recently had her first child with 21 Savage. “Remember when we was talking about postpartum depression, good days, bad days?” she said around the 15-minute mark, framing her earlier post as something shaped by a difficult stretch rather than a fixed decision. She spoke openly about how disorienting that period felt. “That was definitely not one of the good days. Experiencing postpartum for the first time, you don’t know what to expect? I kind of underestimated it. That was just one of those days where I was at home and overwhelmed with the album.” Latto Walks Back Retirement Talk Amid Postpartum Reflections She suggested her thinking has been fluid since then, changing with her circumstances and mood as she adjusts to motherhood and work. “I was going through it that day,” she said. “Today’s a good day. I wouldn’t say I’m retiring today. Talk to me next week again, I might say, ‘No, that shit was for real.’ So, I don’t know. I’m going through it. I crashed. It is what it is.” Alexis responded, “It will happen again,” pointing to how postpartum experiences can ebb and flow. Latto later added, almost under her breath, “I’m going to try not to take it Twitter next time,” softening the tone with a brief laugh. By the end of the conversation, she returned to the reaction her post had drawn and expressed some regret over how it landed publicly. “I apologize for the retirement tweet,” she said. Earlier this month, she had written on X, “5/29. My retirement album. Thank you for everything.” In the weeks that followed, she confirmed the birth of her child and was seen alongside Keyanna Joseph, the mother of 21 Savage’s two older sons, Kamari and Ashaad, as she continues moving through a period of significant personal change.

Months after Megan Thee Stallion and Klay Thompson quietly went their separate ways, conversation around the breakup has hardly disappeared. Earlier this year, Megan accused the NBA star of cheating in a series of emotional social media posts. In contrast, Thompson has chosen not to publicly respond. Lately, listeners have started wondering whether some of that experience shaped Megan’s latest verse on Bossman Dlow’s “Motion Party (Remix).” The reaction online was immediate. Fans quickly began parsing through the lyrics for possible references to the former relationship. “I ain’t goin’ through no phones, that shit stupid/If I catch a n***a cheatin’ on me, it’s deuces,” Megan raps early in the track. Moments later, she follows with, “Sh*t strict over here, I’m a rich b*tch/ Thought he did his big one ‘til he met the biggest.” She never mentions Thompson by name. However, the song leaves enough ambiguity for listeners to draw their own conclusions. Even so, the timing of the release—arriving months after Megan publicly discussed infidelity—has only intensified speculation surrounding the verse. Megan first confirmed the breakup in April through a candid Instagram message. That message quickly circulated online. “Cheating, had me around your whole family playing house… got ‘cold feet’[.] Holding you down through all your HORRIBLE mood swings and treatment towards me during your basketball season now you don’t know if you can be ‘monogamous’???? bitch I need a REAL break after this one .. bye yall,” she wrote. Megan Chooses Peace After a Public Split In a later statement shared with TMZ, Megan framed the split less as public drama and more as a personal boundary she felt compelled to make. She expressed, “I’ve made the decision to end my relationship with Klay.” She continued, “Trust, fidelity and respect are non-negotiable for me in a relationship, and when those values are compromised, there’s no real path forward. I’m taking this time to prioritize myself and move ahead with peace and clarity.” Since then, Megan Thee Stallion has largely kept her attention on touring, performances, and new music. Still, interest in the breakup continues to follow her latest releases online.
