Leaked audio allegedly featuring Houston rapper Sauce Walka threatening to “smoke” rap superstar Drake has gone viral after adult content creator and Walka’s baby mother, Kiley Lossen, known as @itskiley on Instagram and @kileylynn on OnlyFans, released what she described as a private phone call tied to Walka discovering she allegedly slept with the 6 God. Drake and Sauce Walka have had beef in the past, and the new audio has reignited the feud on social media. The recording, posted Sunday, May 31, quickly circulated across social media after Lossen captioned it, “Sauce Walka Saying F**** His Own Son, @Sauce_Walka102, how BDs Be On IG. How BDS Be In Real Life,” framing the audio as an unfiltered look into the rapper’s private conduct. In the conversation, a voice identified as Sauce Walka delivers a series of heated statements directed at Lossen. At one point, he says, “I don’t give a f*ck about your baby, f*ck yo son,” the line would be shared with a video clip of Walka holding the baby at a football game.

It’s that simple, I don’t give a f*ck what the consequences is.” Lossen responds directly, “Yeah, yeah, you ‘handle’ me, you’ve already ‘handled.’ So what the f*ck does it matter? You already put your hands on me. You already do all that already.” Houston Rapper Sauce Walka Allegedly Threatens To “Smoke” Drake In Leaked Call, Baby Mother Kiley Lossen Claims He then appears to acknowledge orchestrating violence while denying direct contact, saying, “I didn’t put my hands on you. I did get you jumped by my hoes. I will put my hands on you, though, but I didn’t. You got jumped by Black hoes. The shit on video.” Lossen pushes back, responding, “Yeah, because you had me set up. Are you proud of that? Does that make you feel good?” The exchange intensifies further when the voice allegedly continues, “Yeah, I got you jumped. Yeah, I’ll get you jumped again. I will get you jumped again, I don’t give a fck.” The conversation then shifts toward Drake, as Sauce Walka says, “Cuz, I will get Drake smoked. I will get Drake car shot at. N**a, the fck. Man, you better realize who the f*ck I am,” referencing his status in Houston. Lossen attempts to de-escalate the situation, saying, “Ok, you need to calm down,” while Sauce Walka responds, “No, I don’t need to do nothin’.” She replies once more, “Yeah, you do.” The authenticity of the audio has not been independently verified, and no official legal action or public statement has been confirmed regarding the recording at this time.

JAŸ-Z went viral on Saturday night, May 30, after dropping a new freestyle during his headlining performance at the 2026 Roots Picnic that dissed Drake, Nicki Minaj, Tory Lanez, Damon Dash, Ye, and Texas attorney Tony Buzbee. The Brooklyn mogul’s rare solo appearance already carried major anticipation. However, it was a pointed freestyle near the start of his set that sent fans racing to social media for answers. Within minutes, clips spread across social media with listeners debating whether JAŸ-Z had taken aim at several of the industry’s most recognizable names. JAY-Z’s full freestyle at Roots Picnic pic.twitter.com/FEeEMuNUqc — Complex Music (@ComplexMusic) May 31, 2026 One of the biggest talking points involved Drake. Fans quickly connected one of Jay-Z’s sharpest bars to recent lyrics from Drake’s album Iceman, fueling speculation that the rap titan was responding directly to the Toronto superstar. “The jig is up, n****, I’m up 10, wrong chart champ, n**** looked up to Hov, I never looked up to them,” Hov rapped. The lyric immediately drew comparisons to Drake’s line from “Janice STFU,” where he rapped, “We know how you OGs rockin’ already, my n****, the jig is up.” Neither artist has publicly addressed the apparent connection, but the exchange became one of the festival’s most discussed moments. JAŸ-Z Slams Drake, Nicki Minaj, Tory Lanez, Damon Dash, & More In Roots Picnic Freestyle JAŸ-Z also sparked conversation with bars that many listeners linked to Nicki Minaj and her husband, Kenneth Petty. “That lady back on that stuff, she sounds like she’s in love with ’em. Her Ken can’t even pick their kid… enough of them,” he rapped. He followed with another eyebrow-raising line: “A rapper can’t be my opp, I got MAGA republicans.” Although Jigga never mentioned Minaj by name, fans immediately interpreted the lyrics as references to the Queens rapper and ongoing public scrutiny surrounding her family. Another major topic centered on Kanye West, now known as Ye. Given the pair’s history and their landmark collaborative album Watch the Throne, listeners paid close attention when Jay-Z appeared to address recent controversies surrounding his former collaborator. “You’re no maniac, watch how sane he act in my presence,” Hov rapped. Moments later, he added, “Y’all thugs with y’all thumbs again. Everybody think they the ones insane.” Meanwhile, fans speculated that other portions of the freestyle referenced Tory Lanez, Damon Dash and attorney Tony Buzbee. Jay-Z offered no names and provided no additional explanation. Whether the lyrics were direct shots or broader observations remains unclear. What is certain is that Jay-Z once again demonstrated his ability to dominate hip-hop discourse with a microphone and a few carefully chosen bars. Days after the Roots Picnic, fans are still dissecting every line.

Recording artist M.I.A. has filed a $2.8 million lawsuit stemming from her removal from entertainer Kid Cudi’s Rebel Ragers Tour, alleging breach of contract and wrongful interference with her performance agreement after comments she made during a Dallas concert sparked controversy. Complex’s Shawn Setaro broke the news on Saturday, May 30. MIA suing Cudi over tour removal.https://t.co/cXogzbeE7i — Shawn Setaro (@SameOldShawn) May 30, 2026 According to the complaint, M.I.A. contends that her termination violated contractual guarantees negotiated with tour promoter Live Nation and improperly restricted her artistic expression. The suit alleges that Kid Cudi directed Live Nation to remove her from the tour despite an agreement that purportedly entitled her company, Neet Touring LLP, to compensation regardless of statements made during her performances. “Kid Cudi’s attempts to silence freedom of artistic expression and speech on his Rebel Ragers Tour cannot go unchallenged,” M.I.A.’s representatives said in a statement. M.I.A. Sues Kid Cudi For $2.8 Million For Kicking Her Off Of Rebel Ragers Tour They further contend that his public characterization of her remarks fueled reputational harm and generated backlash based on what they describe as a misrepresentation of her comments. The complaint also challenges the rationale behind her dismissal. It alleges that the decision was motivated by promotional concerns rather than any legitimate contractual breach. “Here is the truth. M.I.A. was terminated to generate publicity for the Tour, which has struggled with ticket sales,” the lawsuit states. “She was contractually allowed to say whatever she wanted on stage.” The dispute arose following a May 2 performance in Dallas. M.I.A. addressed political issues, prior controversies, and immigration-related topics during a spoken segment. Video clips circulated online and generated mixed reactions from concertgoers. On May 4, Kid Cudi announced on Instagram that M.I.A. would no longer participate in the tour. “M.I.A is no longer on this tour,” he wrote. “I won’t have someone on my tour making offensive remarks that upsets my fanbase.” M.I.A. subsequently denied making offensive statements. She maintained that her remarks reflected themes present throughout her artistic career, including immigration and social justice advocacy. The Rebel Ragers Tour began April 28 and includes performances across 30 U.S. cities. As of Monday, Kid Cudi has not publicly responded to the complaint in court filings. No attorney has formally appeared on his behalf, according to court documents. The litigation could test the scope of artist-performance agreements. The extent to which tour headliners may influence contractual relationships between promoters and supporting acts.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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
