He told to “shut the f*ck up” and to go on the audition before he hung up on her.

Drama got a lenient sentence for being a peripheral figure. When Tekashi 6ix9ine tried to convince a judge that he was deserving of a reduced sentence, he argued that there are many young people who look up to him and that, if released, he would dedicate himself to setting a better example. Of course, what didn’t work in Tekashi’s favor is that he had been promoting gang activity to a wide audience for a period of time. One person in particular who Tekashi inspired to head down a dangerous path is Denard “Drama” Butler. According to Complex‘s report on Butler’s sentencing...
“Terminator: Dark Fate” proved to live up to its name for all the wrong reasons. While many people expected Terminator: Dark Fate to be a runaway success due to the players involved — Cameron! Schwarzenegger! Hamilton! — unfortunately it just proved to be too little, too late of a return for what was once one of the biggest sci-fi franchises in film history. Now that the dust has settled on the unfortunate box office flop, the OG Sarah Connor actress herself is now speaking out on why you may never see the beloved heroine character on the big screen ever again. Hector...

It appears the comedian no longer has to live in fear because Fifty just confirmed that the debt has been settled. Today, Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson was honoured with a star...
Tech N9ne sends a somber note to the “glue for the Cru” Instagram. These have definitely been some sad times lately as we all mourn the loss of basketball legend Kobe Bryant and the eight others that died in the helicopter crash with him, one in particular being his 13-year-old daughter Gianna as well. For rapper Tech N9ne, the timing is unfortunately coinciding with a personal loss of his own: the sudden death of his CES Cru homie Justin “Info Gates” Gillespie. While the loss of Info Gates is without a doubt hard on the entire Strange Music fam, it seems to be particularly difficult for Tech...
Put on your detective hat. When Quavo was discussing Migos’ next album, Culture 3, on the Grammy Awards red carpet last weekend, he teased that “it should be dropping next summer”. He also stressed how much the Atlanta trio has been hustling to put this project together. “We’re working real hard,” Quavo said. “We’ve been in the studio countless hours, no sleep. Not even going home to get rest so hope ya’ll are ready for it.” Given this work ethic, it wouldn’t be too surprising if Culture 3 was ready to go even before the summer months come around. Takeoff may have...
Lil Yachty was not having it. It must be annoying to be a celebrity and have strangers rush your car. It must a whole other level of annoying to have these strangers scuff up your clean car with their fingerprints. In that sense, some may be able to sympathize with Lil Yachty‘s recent plight documented in his IG Story. The Atlanta rapper was trying to preview an unreleased song of his that features Trippie Redd when young fans popped up at his window. While Lil Boat refused to roll down his window, he ended up bickering with the kids...
