West has reportedly been receiving outpatient treatment since being released from UCLA Medical center last month, meaning Kardashian “won’t make any decisions” until he fully recovers. However, Us Weekly’s rumor specialists claim these feelings have been brewing for some time. “She cares about Kanye and feels relieved he’s getting the help he needs” this alleged friend, apparently the sort of “friend” who runs off and blabs to grocery store checkout line magazines, said. “But she’s felt trapped for awhile.”
Bobby Shmurda could be released from prison sooner than we expected.
Earlier this week, the 22-year-old MC appeared in court for his alleged attempt to smuggle a shank into Rikers Island. Shmurda is now facing up to seven years in prison because of the reported stunt; however, prosecutors have offered a plea deal that could significantly reduce the sentence.
TMZ reports Shmurda, real name Ackquille Jean Pollard, is being urged by his attorney Alex Spiro to plead guilty to “attempted promoting prison contraband.” If he accepts the deal, Shmurda will get one to four years in prison, which will run concurrently with his existing seven-year sentence for conspiracy charges.
Young Thug is feeling the heat today after he tried to pull a questionable antic at the airport last night after reportedly arriving late and missing his flight. Despite being offered a seat on a sister airline, Thugger declined and came down hard on two female Alaska Airlines employees.
J. Cole’s album 4 Your Eyez Only is set to drop at the end of the week. But before that happens, the rapper has blessed fans with an exciting sneak peek.
On Monday night, Cole’s label Dreamville took to Twitter to reveal the full tracklist for the album, which includes cuts like “For Whom the Bell Tolls,” “Deja Vu,” “Change,” and a title track; however, it looks like “False Prophets” didn’t make the cut.
You’ll also notice there is no indication of guest appearances, which should come as no surprise considering all the success he had with his feature-less 2014 record 2014 Forest Hills Drive?. The fact that it was certified platinum without any big-name cameos spoke volumes about Cole’s talent. And who could forget the countless memes inspired by the accomplishment?
Will 4 Your Eyez Only be able to reach the same success as its predecessor? We’ll just have to wait and see. Until then, you can check out the full tracklist below. 4 Your Eyez Only is available for pre-order today on iTunes.
1. “For Whom the Bell Tolls”
2. “Immortal”
3. “Deja Vu”
4. “Ville Mentality”
5. “She’s Mine Pt. 1”
6. “Change”
7. “Neighbors”
8. “Foldin Clothes”
9. “She’s Mine Pt. 2”
10. “4 Your Eyez Only”
Just days after calling out Shia LaBeouf, Soulja Boy has decided to take aim at Quavo.
On Monday evening, the “Crank That” rapper posted a new song called “Beef” on his Soundcloud account. And it only took seconds to realize whom the diss track was targeted it at.
Fresh off of being released from jail less than a week ago, Kodak Black is already recording new tracks. Producer Dubba-AA, who is credited on such tracks as “Vibin In This Bih” and “Slayed,” began tweeting the countdown to Kodak’s release on Dec. 1. He’s since posted footage of himself and Kodak recording new music, and announced the release of a new track as well.
In addition to posting social media pictures with his family and friends, Kodak tweeted a picture from a home studio displaying himself rhyming into a microphone in what appears to be a closet.
Guess who's back whenever we get in the studio together it's #DynamicDuo #KodakBlack #DubbaAAOnTheBeat @XXL @IamAkademiks @mymixtapez pic.twitter.com/7UaiGqkuhj

According to XXL, the Dubba-AA has set up his equipment at Kodak’s residence to ease the process. Kodak technically cannot leave his residence, as one of the terms of his release mandates him to stay under house arrest.
Less than two weeks after Gucci Mane proposed to his longtime girlfriend Keyshia Ka’oir, the happy couple went to social media to announce their wedding date. And, as many of you predicted, they will tie the knot on 10/17/17.
The numerals have become synonymous with the Atlanta rapper, who decided to name his label 1017 Records. In a now-deleted Instagram post, Gucci explained that the number is a tribute to his grandfather, whose street address was 1017 in Bessemer, Alabama.
Though the wedding date is over 10 months away, we couldn’t think of a better time.
The announcement debunks several rumors that Gucci and Keyshia had already gotten married. Many referenced an Instagram photo that showed Keyshia’s hand rocking a diamond ring, which was noticeably different than the one Gucci proposed with. But it appears Keyshia simply exchanged the original piece with something more to her liking.
Soulja Boy took to Instagram to respond to Shia LaBeouf calling him out in a freestyle and warned the actor not to come to Atlanta.
After zooming on on multiple articles about Shia’s loaded Breakfast Club freestyle, Soulja turns the camera on himself and proceeds to ban Shia from Atlanta. “You a bitch ass nigga, you can’t never come to Atlanta. You can’t never come to the streets in the hood. You can never live my life, nigga. You need to stick to acting, real shit nigga.”
The rapper keeps going from there shouting, “Fuck Shia LeBeouf, nigga. Keep my name out your mouth, nigga. You don’t want no beef. On my mama, you better stick to acting nigga cause this shit get real.”
If you missed it, Shia called out Soulja Boy and Lil Yachty when he spit, “Him and Soulja on that shout out shit/This is not, this a murder, this is tragedy man/He’s like Lil Romeo meets Raggedy Ann,” likely referencing the two rappers’ beef.
The internet was quick to pick up on Soulja’s threat and couldn’t resist cracking some jokes on the topic. Shia hasn’t commented on the video yet, but here’s hoping Shia responds with even more bars.
Want to feel insecure about your financial situation? Then check out Forbes’ annual list of highest-paid musicians.
This year’s ranking, which was released Wednesday, featured a diverse mix of new and old-school artists. Taylor Swift topped the list—surprise, surprise—earning $170 million within the past year. One Direction came in at No. 2 with $110 million, followed by Adele with $80.5 million, and Madonna with $76.5 million.
Rihanna rounded out the top 5, raking in a whopping $75 million, thanks in large part to her wildly successful ANTI World Tour, her collaboration with Puma, as well as her endorsement deals with Dior, Samsung, and Stance. It’s a pretty impressive increase for the 28-year-old singer, who took in only $26 million last year.
Other notable musicians on the list include aging rock bands AC/DC at No. 7 with $67.5 million and the Rolling Stones (No. 8) with $66.5 million, with didn’t-know-he-was-still-around country star Garth Brooks (No. 6) vaulting above both of them at $70 million. Calvin Harris landed at the No. 9 spot with $63 million, followed by Puff Daddy with $62 million.
Power couple Jay Z and Beyoncé took home almost the same amount of money in 2016; Bey earned $54 million, Jay $53.5 million, putting them at No. 17 and No. 18, respectively. Dr. Dre and Katy Perry tired for the No. 25 position, with $41 million each. Drake closed out the list at No. 30 with $38.5 million.
Forbes’ ranking measures income from June 1, 2015, to June 1, 2016 before deducting management fees and taxes. The figures are based on data received from Pollstar, Nielsen, and the RIAA, as well as information from managers, agents, lawyers, and some of the celebrities listed.
Kodak Black is heading home after reportedly paying $100,000 bail in South Carolina, according to the Sun Sentinel.
The rapper took to Instagram Thursday afternoon to confirm to his fans that he was leaving jail. “I’m happy to finally be going home to my family and friends,” he wrote. “I look forward to clearing my name in the very near future. I want to thank God, my family, my team (Vanessa, Phatboy and James McMillan), Atlantic Records, my lawyers and all of my fans for your continuous love and support. I can’t wait to get back to doing what I love most—working at being the illest rapper alive.”
New details have emerged regarding the pending sexual assault case against Black in South Carolina since. According to a police report, the woman Black is accused of sexually assaulting is actually a fan who had just attended his show. The assault is alleged to have taken place on Feb. 7 after Black had performed at a club the night before. As reported by Sun Sentinel, the alleged victim and a friend went back to the Comfort Inn and Suites in Florence, South Carolina to hang out with Black and another person.
The pair then went into a separate room, which is when the attack started, according to the accuser. “[The victim] stated that the subject known as ‘Kodak Black’ pushed her into a wall and then down onto the couch in the room,” the report states. “[The victim] was even screaming for help.”
“If God Is With You Who Can Be Against You..” Kodak Black’s Twitter account posed on Wednesday. It’s one of many tweets from the rapper’s official account that has been shared in light of his recent legal troubles. We’ll keep you updated as more details emerge on the case.
