It was like her, and the driver, and I had like four or five people with me, and she was like, ‘Is this your squad?’ And she was like, ‘Come on.’ ” He added: “She took us to like some hood spot in LA.

Waka Flocka Flame is looking to reunite with an old friend. Though Waka Flocka Flame and Gucci Mane emerged as a dominant partnership in hip-hop, their friendship ultimately soured over a variety of factors. It’s always sad when homies turn on each other, and clearly, Waka has been feeling the same way. As a result, the Flockaveli rapper has decided to take a stand, and do his part to increase the peace. “I had a crazy-ass dream,” says Waka, in an emotional message. “I don’t want no more beef, arguments, smoke, anger, toward nobody bro. If we ever had problems, beef, anything, I’m telling you right now, it’s over. I ain’t talk to my best friend, my little brother, in almost a year…Just cause of the industry, it changed us. We were young n***s man, with dreams, and we really succeeded. But this game changed us. And we finna take this shit back.” He proceeds to address Gucci Mane directly. “Hey Gucci, let’s chat, let’s sit the fuck down, all that playin’ over. You know how to get me, big dawg. You call me, nobody else.” The video concludes, leaving fans of both parties cautiously optimistic. Gucci and Waka Flocka came up together, and at one point, made for a truly formidable duo. Despite a tumultuous history, it seems like now is the time for reconciliation. Gucci Mane has been a bastion of positivity lately, and it stands to reason that Waka’s olive branch may be a pivotal first step in mending bridges long thought destroyed.

Georgia prosecutors are still going after T.I. over his confrontation with the security guard earlier this year. Earlier this year, T.I. was arrested after a heated verbal altercation between himself and a security guard in the gated community he lives in. Although prosecutors dropped the assault charge against him, the rapper is still facing four counts of misdemeanor charges. Now, the Georgia prosecutors on the case are going after T.I. for allegedly screaming racial slurs at the security guard during the confrontation. According to The Blast, the prosecutors filed amended charges against T.I. over his confrontation with the security guard in his neighborhood earlier this year. Tip’s been charged with one count of public drunkenness along with three counts of disorderly conduct. The prosecutors accused T.I. of “yelling profanities at Mr. James, including cuss words and racial slurs, contrary to the laws of this state.” The prosecutors continue to accuse T.I. of telling the security guard during the confrontation that he “had all night.” They claim T.I. also told the guard that “nobody will get you out of this,” which allegedly caused the man to feel like his life was being threatened. Throughout this entire legal battle, T.I. has maintained his innocence. He already pleaded not guilty to all the charges that he was hit with. During a conversation with The Blast earlier this year, the rapper said that the incident was driven by “white cops in a very white area.” |

Reports are claiming that 250,000 people have been forced to evacuate their homes during this time. Many celebrities including Miley Cyrus, Gerard Butler, Rainn Wilson and more have lost their homes during the fire. Kanye West and Kim Kardashian were forced to evacuate their homes last week, but the couple reportedly hired private firefighters to not only save their own homes but also, their neighbors’. According to TMZ, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West not only saved their own home, but also the houses that surrounded theirs. Their Hidden Hills house sits at the end of a cul-de-sac and borders a field. If their house began to catch fire, the flames would spread onto their neighbors’ homes. KimYe hired a private team of firefighters to try and stop the fire from catching onto their property. The firefighters relentlessly put in work to save the homes on the block. Not only were the equipped with hoses to put out the fire, but they also dug ditches to create a fire break.

Neighbors who spoke to TMZ thanked the couple for taking the initiative to save their homes. |

Tekashi 6ix9ine is simply incapable of letting the pot go unstirred. It should be noted that Nicki Minaj and Cardi B recently declared a mutual “chill” after their feud reached an open boiling point. Since then, both parties have kept true to their word in moving on from one another. Unfortunately, 6ix9ine’s trollish tendencies have rendered him incapable of letting a feud turn dormant. In what feels like a misguided attempt at loyalty to “team Nicki,” 6ix9ine reportedly hired both Jade and Baddie Gi for the now-notorious Kanye West & Nicki assisted music video, two sisters embroiled in a legal battle with Cardi B. Apparently, both sisters were on the music video set when the shooting went down; though production ultimately shut down, TMZ claims the sisters will likely remain in the clip, should it ever see the light of day. In footage here, they can be seen shopping at the Louis Vuitton store with 6ix9ine in tow. It’s not quite clear whether he holds animosity toward Cardi, or if his loyalty to Nicki does is in fact what caused the move, either way it’s likely the decision will leave many feeling some type of way. In case you need a reminder, Jade and Baddie are currently suing Bardi over an incident that took place during the summer. Though their story has proven faulty many times, they claim Cardi B ordered an attack against the bartender sisters, which led to an all-out strip-club brawl. In the wake of the debacle, the sisters decided to hit Cardi with a lawsuit, which is currently ongoing. 6ix9ine’s former judge recently expressed regret over her lenient sentencing of the rapper. Perhaps this man needs to take a break from the internet. What do you guys think? Coincidence or definitely intentional? |

Nicki Minaj just wants the world to know she really appreciates the way Kim Kardashian West was looking tonight. Last night, the E! People’s Choice Awards 2018 brought together some of the most influential figures across the entertainment and pop-culture realms. Stars such as Harry Shum Jr, Danai Gurira, Chadwick Boseman, Taylor Swift, and Kevin Hart were among the night’s winners. New York rapper Nicki Minaj, who took home two awards, opened the show with high-energy performances of her hits “Good Form” and “Dip” bringing the crowd to their feet. To perform their joint single onstage, Nicki was joined by Tyga whose presence contributed to the lively atmosphere set the “Barbie Dreams” musician. Soon after her performance, the Young Money emcee was honored with the Female Artist of 2018 award, emerging as the top pick from a pool of accomplished artists Cardi B, Camila Cabello, Taylor Swift, and Ariana Grande. While accepting the award, she took a moment to thank designer Donatella Versace for her dress adding an appreciative “shout out to Michael B Jordan because he’s going to be taking it off me tonight.” When accepting the award for 2018 album of the year, Nicki had a few special people on her mind: her fans, and Kim Kardashian West. “Thank you to all of the queens around the world that are maybe not at the place they want to be in their lives, but the fact that you are pushing and you are not being lazy and not complaining but going for your dreams every day, shout out to you,” she said. She went on to add, “I wanna dedicate this award to Kim Kardashian’s ass in that dress.” Who can be mad at that?

Judge Felicia Mennin feels she may have made the wrong decision in granting Tekashi probation. After learning of Tekashi 6ix9ine’s disaster-ridden video shoot with Kanye West and Nicki Minaj, Manhattan Criminal Court Judge Felicia Mennin regrets not throwing him in the slammer. Mennin sentenced Tekashi to a more lenient probationary clause, likely convinced he would turn things around in the midterm. 6ix9ine could have been dealt a 4-year bid after breaking the plea deal to his statutory rape case twice, once in Houston, the other in Brooklyn at the Barclays Center. A rep for Mennin commented on her change of opinion. “Although Judge Mennin was the sentencing judge, the long-standing plea agreement was agreed to by the presiding judge at the time, and the other parties involved,” Mennin’s rep told TMZ. During Tekashi’s case, Judge Felicia Mennin likened his offense in Houston to pushing an overly-intrusive paparazzi to the ground, which in turn informed her lenient decision. Evidently, now that she’s done her homework, she sees things a little differently. She nevertheless contends that, even though her decision may have been the wrong one, the cause for “Tekashi’s realignment” is no longer any of her concern. Judge Mennin isn’t the only authority figure to change their tune as federal law enforcement agencies are growing concerned that Tekashi 6ix9ine may be at the center of a growing East-West battle of the Coasts, that could turn violent at any moment. |
