Celebrities are being called out, and yet another apology is making the rounds. Alia Shawkat is known for her roles on Arrested Development and Search Party, as well as rumors that she's been secretly dating Brad Pitt. However, the gossip mill took a break from digging into her personal life and instead shared a video from 2016 where the actress was attending the South By Southwest festival. Now, it's unclear who Alia Shawkat was speaking to or really what she was speaking about in the clip, but she says, “I mean, everyone was so excited when we all came back, like we were all in the penthouse together and everyone was looking around like, ’N*gga we made it.’ You know what I mean?”

The "n*gga we made it" remark is a reference to Drake and Soulja Boy's collaboration "We Made It," and while she was quoting a repeated line from the song, people weren't happy. The backlash caused the actress, who is of white and Iraqi heritage, to take to her Instagram page to offer a lengthy apology. "I am writing this to address a video that was posted of me quoting a song with the n-word in it as part of an interview from 4 years ago," she said. "I am deeply sorry and I take full responsibility. It was a careless moment, one that I'm ashamed and embarrassed by, but vow to continue to learn from."

Over the last week, Alia Shawkat has posted a number of photos and information about Black Lives Matter as she considers herself an ally to the cause. Swipe through below to read Shawkat's apology and explanation in full and check out the brief clip where she says the n-word.

Some of the remaining dates on the 2020 Millennium Tour featuring acts like Omarion, Bow Wow, Ashanti, Soulja Boy, and more, have officially been rescheduled as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. Bow Wow shared the news Instagram, noting that tickets are still on sale for later dates, and that all previously purchased tickets will be honoured.

“MILLENNIUM TOUR UPDATE!!!” the rapper wrote on the post. “We are working hard everyday and will continue to update you with the latest news! Stay safe and we will be back before you know it! Thank you for your patience. Tix are still available for purchase! DONT FORGET HOLD ON TO YOUR TIX IF PURCHASED THEY WILL BE GOOD TO USE AT NEW DATES!” The tour’s producer, G-Squared Events, also shared an official statement on their website regarding the status of the remaining dates.

“Due to unprecedented circumstances surrounding the coronavirus, some tour dates are in the process of being rescheduled with announcements to follow soon,” the statement reads. “We will continue to work with the appropriate state and local authorities and our venue partners to provide a safe and healthy environment at each tour stop. During this time, we ask for your patience. As each day develops, we will continue to plan accordingly and ultimately determine the best course of action. Our commitment is to keep you posted on a regular basis. Thanks for your understanding.” Omarion first announced the 2020 instalment of the tour back in November, following the success of the first round alongside his B2K bandmates earlier that year. However, the exclusion of B2K from the 2020 Millennium Tour caused quite the controversy. The rescheduled dates for the 2020 Millennium Tour are as follows:

It’s hard to think that we live in a time when it’s becoming difficult for people to shop for toilet paper, disinfectant wipes, and soap, but here we are. The coronavirus pandemic has caused a wave of worldwide panic and people are storming markets by the tens of thousands to stock up on household items. It’s unclear exactly why this is happening, but mass hysteria often breeds strange results.

However, the COVID-19 pandemic is serious, as it’s recently been announced that television shows will record without audiences, the NBA has suspended its season, and travel from Europe to the United States has been halted. Companies with cleaning products are seeing their profits skyrocket, and Soulja Boy is getting his piece of the pie.

During his recent visit to The Breakfast Club, Soulja Boy announced that he was in the soap business. Some people poke fun at the rapper’s latest business endeavor, but TMZ reports that just within the last few months, Soulja Boy’s The Soap Shop has tripled their profits. He reportedly launched the South Haven, Mississippi location with his manager, CEO Miami Mike. The franchise “has gone from selling 100 bottles of cleaning products per month to well over 3,000-plus cleaning products in the last 2 months. That’s about a 30 percent increase, and we’re told it’s record-setting production.”

The Soap Shop is said to be a company that helps the community, as well. They have partnered with the Bubbles for Cash charity so when the youth go out and sell The Soap Shop products, the majority of the money is funneled back into the community for programs that reportedly help younger generations.

In his most puzzling business move yet, Soulja Boy has revealed that he is now selling dish detergent—yes, you read that right. The rapper/entrepreneur paid a visit to Power 105.1 to sit down with The Breakfast Club this week, a little over a year after his infamous episode on the radio show that birthed countless hilarious memes and soundbites. During Soulja’s chat with the show’s famous hosts, Charlamagne asked him about the state of his video game console business. Soulja reveals that while that particular pursuit is on hold, he is, in fact, selling dish detergent now (17:00).

“Once you get into the music industry, you branch out, you know what I’m saying?” he explains. “Do different stuff, like, try different things, try different business ventures.”

“I got dish detergent,” he adds. “Everybody needs soap.” The company, which he reveals is called The Soap Shop, sells a variety of detergents in various scents, including strawberry, coconut, and more. The Soap Shop’s products are sold exclusively at their Southaven, Mississippi location.

Though he may be giving Mr. Clean a run for his money these days, Soulja’s business endeavours haven’t always been so successful. Two years ago, he unexpectedly launched his SouljaGame consoles, but ultimately had to remove the video game consoles from his website. He ended up going to jail for violating his probation a few months later, but after getting released early, he’s finally ready to get back on track. He’s currently working on new music as well as an upcoming documentary called This Can’t Be Real. “In 2020, I want to give my fans the best work I can give them,” he said. “The best music, the best visuals, the best shows. 2020, is the year I just want to give back to my fans.” What better way to give back then to make sure their dishes are clean, right?

Soulja Boy had the biggest comeback of 2018 (don’t tell Tyga) before dropping off the face of the planet again after a short stint in jail. His viral moments propelled him back to relevancy and many of those sound bites and videos came from his appearance on The Breakfast Club. In what has since become the most-watched Breakfast Club interview ever, Soulja Boy dissed everybody from Tyga to Drake, promising that he would have the most powerful musical return of that year. To his credit, he sort of did have one of the biggest comebacks of the year. Well, after getting out of jail and returning to real life, Soulja Boy Tell’em returned to the radio show this afternoon.

Sporting a new dread-locked look, Soulja Boy explained why he’s been so quiet as of late. 

“I’m just staying out of the way. Working on the album, working on my business, keeping everything together, keeping everything on the up and up. It’s so much going on,” said Drako in the interview. He was then asked whether or not he’s heard from Drake or Tyga since he infamously trolled them in the last interview.

“I heard from everybody,” revealed the rapper. “We had a cool conversation and it was all love, man. Shout out to Drake.” 

As far as Tyga goes, their conversation seems to have been a little more strained, which makes sense.

“Shout out to Tyga too, man. It ain’t no static with Tyga neither, man. I’m just focused on myself. 2020, I’m just focused on doing me,” said Soulja Boy before elaborating. “We went back and forth on wax but it ain’t nothing. Shout out to Tyga, man.”

Watch the full interview below.

Viral rapping sensation Soulja Boy had himself a strong year, completing his exciting comeback and making loads of money in the process. The 29-year-old has been in the spotlight for years, keeping his look semi-consistent as he dismissed his former shades with white-out on the lenses. During his recent campaign, the star was sporting a blonde streak in his hair and, after a short stint in the slammer, he returned with a very different new look.

Debuting his longer hair in February 2020, Soulja Boy returned to social media a new man, rocking short dreads and ditching his regular buzzed length. He ended his jail-ridden stage hiatus by performing some of his greatest hits recently, where he gave fans an up-close-and-personal view of his new swag. 

“I got that new drip,” wrote Soulja Boy Tell’em on Instagram in one of his first posts since last month. 

The star has noticeably been less active on the medium, perhaps giving himself more time to live in the moment and focus less on the antics that once ruled his life. Nowadays, Soulja Boy has enough money to remain comfortable without acting a fool online. All he has to do is show up at a club, sing “Crank Dat” and cash the check. 

What do you think of his new look?

When he’s not speaking up to get reparations for Black people or constantly giving his unwanted opinion on Dwyane Wade’s transgender child, Boosie BadAzz can actually be a pretty funny dude. Take this recent situation for example, where two young fans got him completely mixed up with fellow rapper Soulja Boy while shopping in the mall recently.

Now, before you hit the floor laughing too hard, let’s take a look at the photo of Soulja above and then get a good look at this image of Boosie below to compare:

It’s worth noting that Soulja only has about two inches on Boosie, with the Fuego emcee standing at 5’8″ compared to the older rapper’s 5’6″ stature. Speaking of age, 37-year-old Boosie also has close to a full decade on 29-year-old Soulja Boy, again creating a difference that has us scratching our heads at the confusion. The only thing these two have in common is their skin complexion, which raises other questions being that the teens who made the mixup just so happen to be white, and the Caesar fade they both are known to rock from time to time. Clearly Boosie didn’t agree with the comparison, saying, “I don’t look like no Soulja Boy, man!” when he captured the moment in his IG Stories. Agreed!

Take a look at the video below, and let us know if you think Boosie Badazz and Soulja Boy resemble each other at all:

It’s been eight months since Soulja Boy has been on Instagram and now that he’s back he’s got an entirely different look. After being convicted of falsifying community service documentation and being released five months early from prison– Soulja Boy has been able to maintain his sobriety, found himself on the bill of a major headlining tour, and sparking a playful beef with YouTuber/vlogger Jake Paul. Now, that it’s almost been a year since he’s publicly showed his face, Soulja Boy upgraded his aesthetic drastically.

Soulja Boy’s self-imposed break from social media came when he realized he needed to make several severe life changes. One of which included kicking out multiple former crew members out his San Fernando Valley. HipHopDX got the opportunity to speak with Soulja Boy’s manager, Miami Mike, in a recent interview, where he spoke on his client’s recent cerebral development stating:

“He hasn’t had a break since he was 12 or 13. And he just turned … his birthday just came … and he hasn’t had a break in over 15 years. So that’s why I wasn’t sweating him. He’s been turning down shows these past couple months, and I said I’m going to let him take his break because he really needed it. People want to know why he isn’t on Instagram? Well, I say because he’s on a break. He needed it.”

Now, Big Draco is back sporting a full head of lengthy twist and glowing more than ever. While Soulja Boy is still struggling with some legal grievances, his maturation has been enjoyable for the culture to witness. With another Breakfast Club interview in the works in the near future, we’ll most likely be seeing a lot more of Soulja in the near future. 

Check out Soulja Boy’s new look in the Instagram post provided below. 

Young Draco seems to have been humbled after serving three months in jail last year. The often loud, flashy, and in-your-face rap star has been laying low since his release, and back in September 2019, his manager Miami Mike shared with TMZ that Soulja Boy was getting himself healthy and staying out of trouble. It was later announced that the rapper would be joining the Millennium Tour II, so it’s safe to say he’s been preparing for a show his fans won’t ever forget.

While things seem like Soulja Boy has been keeping his nose clean, a woman has stepped forward with a lawsuit. According to The Blast, an unidentified woman has made claims that the rapper viciously beat her over the head before she was sexually assaulted by someone else inside of his home. The Blast states that they’ve acquired the legal documents that detail the woman’s account of what allegedly happened at Soulja Boy’s Los Angeles residence.

The incident is said to have occurred in February 2019, a month before the rapper was arrested for violating his probation. The woman claims that she and Soulja Boy have known each other for the better part of four years, having an on-again-off-again romantic relationship. In February, the woman says she got into a physical fight with an unnamed woman who works for Soulja. The rapper came outside when he realized there was an altercation and “approached yelling profanities and kicked her, stomped her on the stomach and bashed her head with a large gun.”

The documents added that he “held the gun to her (the woman’s) head and told her she was going to die that night and would not make it home.” The alleged victim states she was “hurt so badly that she had trouble breathing.” If things were already bizarre enough, the woman claims that Soulja Boy ordered her to take a shower and watched her while she bathed. He allegedly “was not happy with how (the woman) looked after the shower and asked her to take a second shower because she still had mud and dirt on her from when (the rapper) beat her by his driveway.”

This story takes another turn as the alleged victim says Soulja Boy “instructed his assistant, to take her in the garage and tie her up with duct tape.” Then, the assistant apparently “wrapped an extension cord around (her) arms and took (her) into the garage.” People reportedly came and went through the house for hours and watched her sitting there.

A man at the scene reportedly told the alleged victim “that he would let her go if she performed oral sex on him” and she “felt she has no choice but to perform oral sex on him in order to escape the garage.” She states she was freed the following morning at 8:00 a.m. and went to file a police report before she was “taken to the hospital where she was told she had three fractured ribs and a facial contusion.”

She’s suing for an undisclosed amount, but is alleging assault and battery, false imprisonment, and sexual battery.

He could have acted a “damn fool” when news began to circulate that his B2K bandmate Fizz was dating the mother of his children, Apryl Jones, but Omarion gave a good reason as to why he didn’t react. “When you self-reflect and you get the opportunity to [say], ‘OK. I could go that far, but where’s the best place for me to be?”

In a recent sit-down with Essence, the singer once again chatted about his personal growth and the controversial headlines that captured the attention of Love & Hip Hop Hollywood fans, along with the R&B and hip hop worlds, throughout 2019. While Omarion previously remained relatively silent about watching his former friend and his ex-girlfriend trash-talk him on reality television, the “Touch” singer has been making the rounds in the media, reflecting on earning his “Mr. Unbothered” title.

Essence directly asked Omarion why he opted to fly solo for the next Millennium Tour instead of once again joining with B2K, and according to the outlet, he avoided giving an answer. He did, however, say this: “I really wanted to give the fans what they’ve always wanted—that was to see us back together. I think really, stepping back and really recognizing certain things that took place—you know ’cause going back on the road, it took me back. I never really understood certain things about my career and my connection with my fans until I went back.”

Fans will be able to check out Omarion and Bow Wow reuniting on the Millennium Tour II to perform tracks from their 2007 joint project Face Off. Joining them will be Pretty Ricky, Ashanti, Lloyd, Soulja Boy, Sammie, and Ying Yang Twins. Check out his interview with Essence below.
