The streets of Toronto haven’t been kind to Kid Buu. Recently, there were rumors floating about that the 30-year-old rapper got himself caught up in some trouble after he was robbed during a visit to the Canadian city. DJ Akademiks and No Jumper‘s Adam22 shared video clips and images of a masked person flaunting Kid Buu’s jewelry, suggesting that the rapper had been robbed. The alleged thief wears one chain while displaying another along with an iced out watch.

“Goons in Toronto claimed they robbed #kidbuu…most likely a stunt but idk,” Akademiks wrote in the caption to the video. A Canadian outlet named 6ixBuzz TV also shared the news of Kid Buu’s alleged robbery and commented on Akademik’s post, “Nah its facts crodie. @kidbuu can’t be acting up in the city 😤💯.” Continue reading

BROCKHAMPTON released their fifth studio album GINGER on Friday, and fans have been soaking in the Los Angeles-based hip hop collective’s vibe ever since. They’d previously shared their singles “BOY BYE,” “I BEEN BORN AGAIN,” “NO HALO,” and “IF YOU PRAY RIGHT,” but the second track on the album, “SUGAR,” is a noteworthy addition.

Ryan Beatty is responsible for the melodic chorus as the lyricists stick to the theme of GINGER and deliver rhymes that are emotional and oftentimes introspective. “Some stuff I feel like you just can’t control,” Kevin Abstract told Rolling Stone. “I don’t know what makes a song connect anymore, and I don’t think people really know. Our album is very summery right now. Even though it’s maybe rooted in sadness, the goal is to make it feel right and to uplift and to help people get through.” Continue reading

Someone else besides Johnny Depp’s ex-wife Amber Heard is looking to take the acclaimed actor to court. Back in 2018, Depp starred in the film City of Lies alongside Forest Whitaker. In the film, Depp portrayed real-life Los Angeles Police Department detective Russell Poole who investigated the murders of Tupac Shakur and Christopher “Notorious B.I.G.” Wallace.

One month before the film was to hit theaters, it was pulled and shelved. While there hasn’t been any further announcement regarding a worldwide release date (although it has been leaked), it hasn’t kept the movie from making headlines. Earlier this year, a crew member from the film named Gregg “Rocky” Brooks filed a lawsuit against Depp claiming that the actor punched him twice in the ribs when Brooks attempted to impose the restrictions of certain permits.

It was almost a year ago when the Reading & Leeds Festival announced their 2019 line up. The two-day event planned to host artist like Post Malone, Billie Eilish, Stefflon Don, Foo Fighters, DaBaby, Yungblud, and Chicago’s very own Juice WRLD. United Kingdom fans couldn’t wait to purchase their tickets and see their favorite artists take to the stages, however, the hoards of people waiting on Juice WRLD were left with disappointment.

According to NME, the 20-year-old artist was all set to begin his performance at 4:10 p.m. There was a DJ hyping up the massive crowd that was gathering together awaiting Juice WRLD to take to the stage, however, just five minutes later host Huw Stephens instead grabbed the mic and delivered a message. “We have an important announcement to make and we’re afraid it’s bad news,” he said. “Juice WRLD will not be able to perform today due to a flight issue.” Continue reading

Fantasia’s career has been much like a roller coaster ride. The American Idol winner’s career catapulted into the stratosphere as her debut studio album Free Yourself went platinum and its follow-up, Fantasia, went gold. Yet, over the years there were unfavorable headlines and dramatic moments that haunted her personal life, and it seemed as if her talents took a backseat to the tabloids.

However, Fantasia has pulled herself together, refocused, and is preparing for her next project titled Sketchbook. The first single from the album is “PTSD,” a collaboration featuring T-Pain. “This was a much edgier song for me but one that I felt was needed on the Sketchbook album,” Fantasia said in a press release. “Many people have experienced disappointment in the pursuit of love, but refuse to let one bad experience dictate their entire outlook on love and romance overall.” Continue reading

Tekashi 6ix9ine found himself on the wrong side of Rap-A-Lot’s J Prince Jr. when the rainbow-haired rapper decided to pull up at a party. J Prince Jr. hosted a get-together in Houston for his birthday and 6ix9ine pulled up with his posse uninvited. The “GUMMO” rapper was stopped at the door and told that he wasn’t welcome, reportedly because it was during a time when 6ix9ine was at odds with multiple people in the industry and on the streets and no one wanted to be caught in his crossfire.
