50 Cent Blasts His Girlfriend Cuban Link For Having ‘Raggedy’ Hair

New York rapper 50 Cent isn’t about playing nice even with his girlfriend. The hip-hop star becomes public enemy number one courtesy of Cuban Link going to her Instagram Story to make a wild revelation.

Link hops out of bed and encourages followers to stay tuned to what she has to reveal. She walks toward 50 and asks him about what he called her hair.

While you don’t see Fif, you hear his signature voice and - without hesitation - description of her hair as “raggedy.” At least Link doesn’t take offense to his joke as she laughs it up.

42 Dugg + EST Gee Roast R. Kelly’s Negative Net Worth

Detroit rapper 42 Dugg and EST Gee are having too much fun at R. Kelly’s mercy. The hip-hop pair have delivered pure flames on Kells after discovering his money isn’t stretching as long as some people may realize.

Dugg hits up his Instagram Story with the super cringe proof. 42 records himself looking at an article suggesting Kelly is in the negative range of net worth.

Keep in mind, Kelly has fallen from grace more than anyone in recent years. Ever since women have come out against him and he’s dealt with horrific reveals at his publicized criminal trials, it’s been pitfalls for the disgraced music hitmaker.

Remble + Lil Yachty Hit The Studio W/ 'Rocc Climbing' Video

Los Angeles rapper Remble is back-back with a new song and visual for everyone’s T.G.I.F. goals. The West Coast heavyweight links with Lil Yachty for their new “Rocc Climbing” banger. Peep the official press release from Warner Records and watch the 4K video below.

Per Warner Records.:

Spitting over gentle piano and thumping 808s, Remble lets loose brazen lyrics about stealing girls and impending violence. “Heading to that blue wall ’cause you have to fight him,” he raps. “Have the burner ’cause I heard his jab was nicer.” Yachty adopts a deadpan delivery that perfectly complements Remble’s nonchalance, casually flexing on his opps and offering threats of his own. “My bitches love molly and coke, they be rock climbing,” he raps. “We don’t never leave the house without handy appliance/Richer than all my opps, so they made an alliance.”

The video for “Rocc Climbing” is appropriately off the cuff. Remble and Yachty kick it in the studio and hang in a driveway with a basketball hoop as they rap and dance to the song. It’s subtle, but memorable, an appropriate summation of what Remble does best as an artist.

“Rocc Climbing” is the latest example of inimitable stylings of Remble, a West Coast rapper whose enunciative flows and wry humor have cultivated an expansive fan base. This past July, he consummated his rise when he released It’s Remble, a 13-track debut project with features from Mozzy, Drakeo the Ruler, BlueBucksClan, and more. It also features “Touchable,” a playfully menacing song that’s his biggest to date. He earned the #1 spot on Soundcloud’s All Genre chart and the video for the track, which has become a TikTok favorite, has collected over 17 million views on YouTube since it was released in June.

Here are a few fire moments from the new video. Check them out below.

Lil Bibby Tries But Fails To Lift Up Massive Weights

Chicago rapper Lil Bibby isn’t built for extreme workout goals. The hip-hop veteran gives fans a rare look at himself trying to get right-right in a gym setting.

You can tell there’s ample competition around him in the form of women working up sweats doing aerobics and weight-lifting. So it’s only right Bibby tries to impress them and the camera with his upper body strength.

Things appear to go smoothly on the first lift. But as he continues onward, Bibby happily takes his L for the day.

Tekashi 6ix9ine Is In The Trenches Of Beverly Hills

Who said anything about Tekashi 6ix9ine going ghost? It’s just the opposite for Daniel Hernandez.

The hip-hop troll everyone loves to hate is back in the spotlight courtesy of footage showing him chilling in the Los Angeles trenches. Beverly Hills to be exact.

AZ Looks Ageless Talking Nas, JAY-Z + Lil Wayne

Don’t give all the credit to Pharrell Williams - AZ is looking ageless these days too. The rap veteran most known for his run with Nas and The Firm in addition to his razor-sharp bars has plenty to talk about fresh from dropping his Do Or Die 2 album.

The hip-hop rhyme slayer links up with Hot 97’s “Ebro In The Morning” to spend just over 11 minutes talking everything from rap peers JAY-Z and Nas to sharing mic time with modern day hip-hop heavyweights like Lil Wayne, Rick Ross and Griselda’s Conway The Machine. Kick back and watch the Brooklyn native drop gems.

Birdman Spends 2 Hours Telling You Why He's A Rap God

Move over Kanye West, Birdman is a god - too. The Cash Money Records boss takes a break from his post and delete Instagram flexing to give fans ample quotes, hilarious meme-worthy facial expressions and nearly two hours of professing his god-like status in the rap game.

Drake Salutes J. Cole For Bodying His Own Song

So maybe #JCole didn’t kill #Drake on his own ‘ish but it sure feels close to it. By this point we’ve all heard Jermaine’s new #HeavensEP surprise record. If you haven’t - pause this video, open up a fresh tab because we don’t want to lose you, listen/watch and come back - we’ll wait. Great - all caught up?

Cole completely bodied Drake’s “Pipe Down” record and it’s almost not even fair. How in the world do you take such a sultry and chill Drizzy anthem and body it - how Cole, how? (Fast-forward the must-see video and millions of views.)

Turns out Drake is a big-big fan of this anthem. The 6 God plugged the banger going to his Instagram page and captioning, “Cole on smoke, smoke emoji, Heavens EP” A little insane Drake’s promo post received more views than J’s actual video, but we can talk about it later.

Is it only right Cole is back-back with audio fire? Drake’s Certified Lover Boy is doing big things, Kendrick Lamar’s final Top Dawg Entertainment album is on deck and while Cole put out his The Off-Season in May, it feels only right he drops some heat to keep up. He even raps about taking bronze behind Drizzy and K. Dot. More to come or is this a one and done?

G Herbo’s Wife Taina Williams Is Losing Her Hair

Chicago rapper G Herbo’s ride or die Taina Williams is keeping it 100 with her fans. The hip-hop model goes to Instagram Story to reveal she’s currently dealing with postpartum hair loss following the birth of their son Essex a few months ago.

While footage initially shows Baby Essex super happy, things get very real when Taina shows off the amount of hair she appeared to lose in one day. Although this seems very crushing and sad, Taina admits she’s feeling uplifted at the outpouring of support and suggestions from followers.

Along with taking the tips and advice seriously, she reveals already placing orders for things to help her handle the situation and likely stop the hair loss problem. The clip ultimately ends with Williams joking about being down to go bald for the love of her and Herbo’s mini-me.

Tory Lanez Fades To Black - Literally

Where in the world is #ToryLanez? Yes - the rap crooner people love to hate, well people not named Swae Lee, Tyga, #DaBaby, French Montana, #Drake, Lil Wayne and about 30 others celebrities he’s worked with since being accused of shooting Megan Thee Stallion in summer 2020, has gone missing.

Donde esta Daystar Peterson? Yes - it is the million dollar question and because of the Internet, you may already have the answer to this but for the sake of getting views, let’s carry on.

Tory has completely vanished from Instagram. How many posts still exist? Nada. Zero. All of the content he had there has faded to black - Lanez even wiped his profile picture away.

Desperately seeking some clues? How about the fact he went to Twitter hours prior with the simple tweet, “It’s been real.”

Could this have something to do with his legal case and facing 22 years? Is it weird he would ghost Instagram but let Twitter remain - almost like he’s baiting us to draw theories? Marketing at its best or a desperate cry for help?

Moneybagg Yo + 42 Dugg Flex At The Gas Station

Memphis rapper Moneybagg Yo doesn’t need a VIP section or private studio to clock in friendship goals. The hip-hop star lights up Instagram Story with a brief clip of himself hanging out with rap newcomer 42 Dugg.

While it’s unclear if the rendez-vous is happening in Tennessee or Dugg’s Detroit hometown, what you do realize is they are having a ball at a gas station. From the iced-out pieces to gang-gang being around them, there’s no signs of concern or paparazzi surrounding them.

Toward the end of the clip, you’ll see some customized sneakers made for a king. Yo acknowledges how fresh they look and they even pay homage to his mentor Yo Gotti’s Collective Music Group a.k.a. CMG.

J. Cole Flips Drake's Hit For New 'Heaven's EP' Video

Who said J. Cole was done dropping new music? Just because he put out a fire The Off-Season project back in May doesn’t mean he would ride the sideline through the rest of 2021 and proves it with his new “Heaven’s EP” music video premiere.

Surprise? Yes. Epic-sounding? Of course. Dreamville-certified? Bas yes. It’s more than just a must-hear record but also shows Jermaine showing love to his longtime pal Drake by flipping the Certified Lover Boy anthem “Pipe Down” with his own rendition.

Cole attacked this instrumental and visual with the most finesse. Kick back and enjoy just under three minutes of everyone’s favorite Dreamville boss.

Drake Toasts To The Good Life W/ DJ Khaled + Fat Joe

OVO Sound boss Drake is putting friendship goals on his list of key priorities. The 6 God blesses Instagram Story with some fresh footage of himself surrounded by a massive feast of tasty-looking goodies.

It also doesn’t hurt having DJ Khaled being the host with Joey Crack a.k.a. Fat Joe around as well. While you don’t see Drake, you hear his voice and see his appreciation for being around a couple fellow hip-hop veterans.

Drizzy toasts to the good life and you can almost feel his smile from behind the camera. The table is filled with good eats and there’s a sense of major collaboration goals in the air.

Kelly goes on to show love for his true day one supporters. MGK explains how without their presence, the rap game just wouldn’t be as fun.
