A unifying theme in Rick Ross and Kendrick Lamar’s disses of Drake is that the biracial Canadian isn’t really Black. Ross calls him “white boy,” and Kendrick says he’s a culture vulture who shouldn’t be allowed to use the n-word. Suge Knight is not down with that. Twitting from prison, the former Death Row boss […]
The Twitter streets believe Kendrick Lamar cooked Drake with his “Euphoria” diss. Cam’ron and Ma$e do not agree.

In Kendrick Lamar’s Drake diss “Euphoria”, K.Dot tells Drizzy he’s not part of the club, partly because he’s half-white. He also mocked him for being a bad father to his son, Adonis. Drake’s bestie (and possible ghostwriter), Lil Yachty, has liked a Tweet that suggests Drake may be about to use both of those attacks […]
It took a couple of weeks, but Kendrick Lamar has responded to Drake with his “Euphoria” diss. He’s actually the second of the anti-Drake Avengers to hit back. Rick Ross already dissed The Boy. And now The Bawse has some advice for his former friend. Rick Ross tells Drake not to respond to Kendrick Lamar’s […]
If you pay attention to Instagram, then it seems the average rapper, whether they’re famous or not, has a lot of money. Benny the Butcher says don’t believe that for a second, because most rappers who stunt on Instagram are straight up lying. “Please don’t be fooled by these n*ggas stuntin’ on the Gram, doing […]

Drake has had his authenticity as a rapper questioned in the past. Some folks see him as an interloper. An upper-middle-class Canadian actor whose most famous role is that of a Hip-Hop star. However, we have some evidence that rap has long been in Drizzy’s blood. Here’s a young Aubrey spitting at age nine. Because […]
Drake mentioned the name of The Weeknd’s manager, Cash XO, in his “Push Ups” diss. “Claim the 6 and boys ain’t even come from it/And when you boys got rich you had to run from it/Cash blowin’ Abel bread out here trickin’/Sh*t we do for b*tches he doing for n*ggas,” Drake rapped. Earlier this morning, […]

There’s been all sorts of rap beef in 2024. Coi Leray doesn’t believe all of it is organic. The daughter of Benzino took to Twitter this weekend and suggested the labels are drumming up fake feuds between rappers — in particular, female rappers. Idk if you ask me it seem like these labels are behind […]
In 2022, Fetty Wap pled guilty to conspiracy to possess and distribute 500 grams or more of cocaine. They gave him six.

Looks like Fetty has gained some […]

Attendance was so low […]
Charlamange had a couple of interesting theories on the Drake vs. Everybody beef. First, he believes that Drake is about to drop a third Kendrick Lamar diss track. Unlike the first two, which were for the sport of beef and weren’t released on DSPs, this one will be on official release and likely a big […]

It’s been almost two weeks since Drake hit Kendrick Lamar with “Push Ups” and almost a week since he followed that up with the AI-infused “Taylor Made Freestyle.” Kendrick has yet to respond, even though he started it all when he took a swipe at Drake with “Like That.” Drake has suggested K.Dot is a […]

If you go strictly by what’s happened on wax, Drake is beefing with Kendrick Lamar, Future, Rick Ross, The Weeknd, A$AP Rocky and Metro Boomin. However, Drizzy does have some support behind the scenes. Rap vets 50 Cent, The Game, and Birdman have all signaled that they are riding with the Canadian wonder. On […]

Is cancel culture still a thing? It could be said that it doesn’t have the same strength as say a couple of years ago. Just ask Kanye West who was briefly canceled for making anti-Semitic remarks but still scored a number one hit with his Vultures song “Carnival.” Plus, despite all the backlash Ye received, […]
