Over the weekend, things went a little haywire between NBA Youngboy, Yaya Mayweather and Kodak Black. To backtrack, if you're not up to date, Floyd Mayweather's daughter, Yaya, reportedly stabbed the baby mama of NBA Youngboy when she found the two in Youngboy's home together.
Kodak Black threw himself into the thick of it, when he alleged that Youngboy snitched by cooperating with the police for this particular incident. Youngboy denied these allegations and was clearly upset by the accusations, and when Kodak Black took things a step further by claiming that Youngboy wants to be like him, Youngboy went off on the locked up rapper during an IG Live session with the fans. "You a hatin' ass b*tch," he slammed Kodak during his Instagram Live.

Well, Youngboy appears to have one last jab to throw Kodak Black's way. The Baton Rouge rapper took to Twitter yesterday where he sub-tweeted at Kodak, "You deserve to be stepped on with that clout chasing shit." The replies to Youngboy's were mostly supportive, with statements like "Kodak jealous simple," or "Showed nothing but love to Kodak and he can’t mind his buisness all of a sudden smh."
What do you think? Why is Kodak stirring up trouble with Youngboy?
We'll keep you updated if this beef unravels further.
Halle Berry Addresses Backlash Of Son Walking In Heels
Halle Berry’s son walked around the house in high heels, joking around during quarantine, and the actress was met with homophobic remarks.
It’s wild that in 2020, there is still such a stigma around non-heteronormativity. Halle Berry was introduced to the harsh reality of the world when she shared a video of her young son walking around the house in a pair of her high-heeled boots, struggling while he traveled up the stairs. Many of the comments were homophobic in nature, and the actress has since taken to her platform to address the backlash.
On the twelfth day of quarantine, Halle Berry’s son was so bored that he decided to go digging around in his mother’s closet, finding a pair of calf-high boots and walking around the house in them. The little boy attempts to make his way back upstairs, experiencing difficulty because of the obstacles on his feet.

“I hope that’s the daughter,” wrote one of the comments. “That’s how it starts,” said another critic.
Halle Berry felt the need to defend her son and her parenting skills, taking time to clap back against the homophobia in her comments section.
“Harmless fun. Tryna survive right now. You feel me?” wrote back Berry to one fan. She encouraged another to “have a laugh and some compassion.”
Halle Berry has been careful about featuring her children on her social media pages and the reason why has become clear now. For what it’s worth, she tried her hardest not to post her son’s face in the clip.
Tekashi 6ix9ine Breaks Silence For First Time Since Release
Tekashi 6ix9ine is back on the ‘Gram following his controversial release from prison earlier this week.
Tekashi 6ix9ineis officially a free man. The rapper was released from prison earlier this week after a judge approved of a compassionate release. This has been met with both negative and positive reactions — hip-hop has disowned the rapper for cooperating with the feds while others are ecstatic that he’d be back on social media to entertain the masses as everyone practices social distancing.

There has, however, been discussion whether there would be a social media ban after he was released to complete the remainder of his sentence on home confinement. Nothing in his papers stated that he would be restricted from using social media and it appears that he’s already back on IG. TheShadeRoom recently reported on the mayor of Los Angeles’ offering snitches rewards for reporting businesses violating the city’s stay-at-home order. Fully self-aware of the stigma that surrounds snitching, it appears that he’s embraced it and, as he would put it, is letting his nuts hang. The rapper simply slid into the comments, writing, “Coming to the rescue.”
With 6ix9ine’s recent release from prison, it appears that he’s already back in his trolling ways. His lawyer previously revealed that the rapper is plotting on the release of two new albums. One album being entirely sung in Spanish while the other will be hip-hop. Either way, it appears that he’s already marked his return to the ‘Gram.
Lil Pump & Russ Trade Shots, Once Again
Lil Pump and Russ are still at odds with each other.
It’s been nearly two years since the release of Lil Pump‘s last album, Harverd Dropout, though he has continued to release loose singles and collaborations. However, it appears that he’s expanding past just hip-hop and into the world of punk. Taking to the ‘Gram recently, he shared a snippet of a new song that strays away from hip-hop entirely. But what stood out more was the rapper’s latest stylistic choice of shaving his eyebrows.
Now, Lil Pump has been known for his left-field choices in life so the attempt at making punk music and the fact that he shaved his eyebrows shouldn’t come as much of a surprise. Nonetheless, Russ chimed in with his apparent concern. “Someone who cares bout him needs to call him ASAP,” Russ commented underneath Akademiks’ post. Though it seems incredibly unlikely that Russ actually holds any sort of care in his heart towards the leader of the “F*ck Russ” bandwagon, Pump reached equally petty levels in his response. “@russ you sister called to check I’m all good,” Pump wrote along with a winking emoji.
Considering Pump hasn’t mentioned Russ’ name in recent times, it seems a little odd that the “Best On Earth” rapper would randomly chime in. However, we can’t deny that Pump looks odd without any eyebrows. Peep Lil Pump and Russ’ exchange below.
NBA Youngboy Responds To Kodak Black Accusing Him Of Snitching
Following Yaya Mayweather's arrest for allegedly stabbing a woman, Kodak Black claims NBA Youngboy "fully cooperated" with authorities.
Kodak Black might be behind bars but he's still finding ways to stir up the pot. The Florida rapper is no stranger to controversy, as we've seen in the past with his unfiltered thoughts about Lauren London and Yung Miami, and this time was no different as he chimed in on Yaya Mayweather's recent arrest and reports that NBA Youngboy had "fully cooperated" with the authorities.
"The Hell They Mean Fully Cooperated LOL They ain’t Say A Lil Piece Bih They Say Fully Bih LOL Anyways Man That Word Aint Even Posed To Be Attached To Your Name @nba_youngboy," Kodak wrote on IG in an plea to prevent NBA Youngboy from snitching. " Mean I’m Locked Up, But This Shit Got It Lookin Like If It Was Some Otha Shit YOU’LL TELL SOMETHING.. This Shit Make Like U Was Scared Dem Ppl Was Gone Try Charge U Wit It Or Something So U SCREAMED..Dat Ain’t Da Drip Man U Kno We Don’t Holla @ Dem Ppl!" He added, "I See Ima Have To Write U A Letter And Tie Yo Shoes Fa U Lil Bra."
It was later clarified by gossipofthecity, who initially broke the story, that Youngboy "cooperating" only meant that he left the police to do their job in his home without any problems or interferences. She also suggested that this feud might be deeper than just rap since it was previously reported that NBA Youngboy was dealing with Kodak Black's ex. Nonetheless, Youngboy wanted the people to hear the truth straight from the horse's mouth.
"I ain't never pay attention to a n***a, especially from no mothafuckin' cell, n***a. The fuck a n***a watchin' me for?" Youngboy exclaimed on Instagram Live before directly addressing the allegations of cooperating. "N***a say I cooperated... 'Bout what?! You stupid bitch! 'Bout my wife?!" After waking his "wife" Iyanna up from bed, he continued to explain that he's never taken a dime from her or her "b*tch ass daddy."
This led to further back and forth after Kodak Black's affiliate Jackboy called Youngboy out on the 'Gram. Check out all of the clips below.

Thanks to the coronavirus, professional grooming is a dodgy proposition.
As such, we are learning that some celebrities have much grayer hair than they've been letting on.

Instagram Disables Live Split-Screens, Panic Ensues Before It’s Reinstated
Instagram users had a meltdown after the social media network's dual Live screen feature went down.
The culture is about to be blessed this weekend with Instagram Live Battles of epic proportions. After going head-to-head themselves and kicking off this trend, Timbaland and Swizz Beatz have been corralling their fellow artists into facing off on IG Live. The rules are pretty much the same for all battles: 20 tracks each that are played for one and a half to two minutes at a time. Music lovers are ready to watch T-Pain and Lil Jon square off tomorrow (April 4) while Sunday is set to have industry legends Babyface and Teddy Riley join in on the fun. However, Instagram users found that the social media platform had disabled one of its favorite features on Friday (April 3) and they weren't happy.
Carl Court / Staff / Getty ImagesNews began to circulate online that the Live split-screens are no longer working. Celebrities even chimed in to note that they weren't able to connect on Live anymore. For hours, people speculated on whether or not the feature would return, but after nearly going viral, Instagram corrected whatever mistake was made.
We'll all be back to hear Boosie Badazz and Tory Lane's twerking competitions in no time. Mark your calendars for this weekend's Battle events and read through a few disgruntled IG users tweets below.
JayDaYoungan Beats Up Drug Dealer For Selling Him Fake Pills
Louisiana rapper JayDaYoungan posted a video of himself throwing punches at a man he accuses of selling fake Percocet.
21-year-old Louisiana native JayDaYoungan has been rising in the rap ranks for the last year and a bit, releasing his debut studio album Misunderstood late last year. The budding star has a troubling legal history but his time in the streets has forced him to smarten up when it comes to the shotty activity he raps about in his music.
Uploading a video to Instagram this week, JayDaYoungan proved that he has street smarts, calling out a drug dealer for allegedly trying to sell him fake Percocet, beating him up on camera.
“You sold me fake Perc, bitch!” says the rapper, mounting the man and throwing punches left and right. Jay is surrounded by his homies but he is the only person getting physical, teaching the man a lesson and showing him to never try and sell him fake pills again.
Johnny Nunez/Getty ImagesThe video does not have a caption and fans are unable to leave comments. However, it’s pretty clear that the 21-year-old is mad about fake Percs.
When the video was initially uploaded, JayDaYoungan supposedly had the following caption: “RIP @macmiller & @juicewrld999.”
Both Mac Miller and Juice WRLD died of drug overdoses, which could be confirming the reason why Jay was throwing punches.
Watch the clip below.
Here Are The IG Live Battles Happening This Weekend
Starting tonight, rap fans can check out a few key IG battles taking place over the course of the weekend.
If there’s any silver lining to the ongoing state of global affairs, it’s that Instagram Live battles have rapidly risen to become a cultural staple. Thanks largely in part to the diplomatic work of the legendary producers Timbaland and Swizz Beatz, who sparked the entire quarantine battle movement with their own epic tete-a-tete, IG battles have become a win-win situation for both the participating artists and the fans tuning in to watch.
Following previous match-ups between Scott Storch and Mannie Fresh, Boi-1da and Hit-Boy, The-Dream and Sean Garrett, Tory Lanez and French Montana, as well as Ne-yo and Johnta Austin for the R&B heads, we’re looking at a decent card for this coming weekend. Tonight, we’ll get a chance to catch Rich The Kid face off against Trippie Redd, after his previous challenge to A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie fell flat. Look for that one to pop off at 9 PM EST, one of the first match-ups between two of the new generation.
Tomorrow we’re looking at another Timbaland and Swizz-produced tilt, this one highlighting two of the biggest hitmakers of the past twenty years: Lil Jon and T-Pain. Though T-Pizzle has since downplayed the competitive spirit, labeling it a fun-time between two longtime homies, it’s still going to be interesting to see who emerges victorious in the eyes of the fans. Catch that one Saturday night at 9PM EST.
What are some fantasy match-ups you hope to one day see? If we’re lucky, perhaps we can see rappers start having verse-battles, with lyrical artists like Royce and Crooked I going head to head with their hardest bars. The possibilities are endless, and we can expect to see even more participants looking to join the fun as the quarantine continues.
Tory Lanez Announces Next Quarantine Radio Session
Tory Lanez is bringing another episode of Quarantine Radio to Instagram Live on Monday.
Every other day, Tory Lanez has been keeping the masses entertained with his lengthy Quarantine Radio sessions. What started out as an excuse to get half-naked women to twerk for him on Instagram Live ended up being one of the most exciting means of amusement during the coronavirus lockdown. Inviting guests like 21 Savage, Drake, French Montana, and so many others to join the party, it isn’t unusual to see the number of viewers in the hundreds of thousands. Reportedly breaking a record when the 6ix God came through, Tory Lanez will need to wait a bit before the next episode can go live.
Announcing an all-new episode of Quarantine Radio, Tory Lanez told the world that they would need to make alternative plans this weekend. Unfortunately, it would appear as though the hard-noses at Instagram weren’t too pleased with his latest session.
“We went crazy today but sadly we gotta wait till Monday for the next Quarantine Radio,” said Tory. “Until then it’s been real… damn man… shit bout to be boring.”
The rapper didn’t explain why he wouldn’t be going live over the weekend but Instagram has been cracking down on live-streams that violate their nudity guidelines. In the last episode, Tory Lanez was literally barking at a woman twerking with her ass out so… that’s probably why.
Until next time, Tory!
