Before video of the incident was uncovered by TMZ, Smith hopped on his Instagram Stories to get ahead of the controversy and tell fans his side of the story: “I just want y’all to know right now before you all see this shit somewhere else,” Smith explained. “One of these little motherfucking white boys didn’t know where he was going and broke my f*cking window in my truck.

“I chased him down and whooped his ass,” Smith continued. “So, if the footage come out and y’all see it, I chased him down and whooped his ass. He broke my window. This ain’t no hate crime. I ain’t got no problem with anybody who doesn’t have a problem with me. There’s a problem with the motherfucking system and that’s it. That motherfucker broke my window and I whooped his ass. He didn’t know whose window he broke, and he got his ass whooped.”

TMZ reports that Smith’s vehicle was parked in a residential zone near the Flight Club on Fairfax Ave.

Whenever something pops off in the media about race, you better believe Azealia Banks is going to voice her opinion about it. This weekend, Doja Cat was revealed to have regularly frequented alt-right, incel-type chat rooms where she allegedly engaged in some pretty clear anti-Black conversations. The rapper, who has family from South Africa, has apologized for the videos before explaining that she was only there to "socialize." Unfortunately, that clarification was not enough for some of her fans, who decided to cancel the rapper on Twiter. 

Azealia Banks is among those who want absolutely nothing to do with Doja Cat and she's also going after her "Say So" collaborator, Nicki Minaj, for remaining quiet on the issue.

"Another thing that I find fucking funny, is Nicki... for all the fucking mouth you have for Cardi B for talking shit about black women, and now you quiet because you got your little number one with this white bitch," said Azealia on Instagram, referring to Doja Cat as a "white bitch." 

"You a pussy ass bitch. Fuck outta here. ... You shoulda got right on that Queen Radio and you put that bitch in the ground where she belongs. Put that bitch down in the fucking South African emerald mine where the fuck that white bitch belongs. Now I'm looking back at it, you were just jealous of Cardi... She's got more swag than you. You made a whole radio show about how Cardi B is bad for black women."

In the same video, Azealia Banks also said she thinks Cardi B is trash (of course...) and claimed to have had sex with Dave Chappelle so, there's that.

He may not have named anyone specifically, but it seems as if Bow Wow had someone, or perhaps more than one person, in mind when he sent out his Instagram Story. Bow Wow is never shy about sending out shots, and on Monday (May 18), the rapper wanted to know how the "hoes" are faring during the COVID-19 pandemic. He penned a short note about the COVID-19 quarantine and how women are willing to put themselves at risk just to be, as they say, "flewed out."

"They say it ain't safe to fly. What do you hoes do?" the rapper asked on his Instagram Story. "Get on the plane and take that ? on pandemic national tour. Hoes flying out more than ever now a days. They willing to die for a Cash App alert new location some hookah and ???." It didn't take long for fans to accuse the rapper of being hurt by some woman who did him wrong, but he didn't bother to respond to the accusation.

He did, however, take a moment to address a fan who tweeted, "We need Bow Wow in a Verzuz so we can give him his flowers." Bow Wow replied, "Im use to not getting them so... its all good." Check it all out below.

The Bachelorette Star Hannah Brown posted a video of herself saying the N-word on IG Live, while rapping along to DaBaby‘s “Rockstar,” and has since apologized.

“I owe you all a major apology,” Brown wrote on her story afterward. “There is no excuse and I will not justify what I said. I have ready your messages and seen the hurt I have caused. I own it all. I am terribly sorry and know that whether in public or private, this language is unacceptable. I promise to do better.”

“I don’t think I said that word, but now I’m like… Oh god. I’ve never used that word,” she later said, per E! Online. “I’ve never called anybody that… You can think I’m something that I’m not, but I’m not that.”

Bachelor Star Bekah Martinez reacted to the video on Instagram writing, “How are people still gonna defend CELEBS with SOOO much access to privilege, knowledge, and education saying the N-word. Even if it’s ‘just the lyrics to a song’ … especially when that person had the wherewithal to skip over the F-word lyric first.

“So no, it’s not cool to just sing it along with the lyrics…,” she added. “Especially not on your platform with millions of followers.”

DaBaby just made one aspiring rapper’s day. The Blame It On Baby rapper may still be riding the high from the release of his new album, but he’s making sure he takes the time to give those lesser known artists a chance. On Wednesday, Baby posted a video on his Instagram story, in which a fan can be seen standing in the doorway of his car, holding a homemade mixtape.

Baby asks him to introduce himself, and the young man lets him know that he goes by “City Boy The Rapper,” and that he’s trying to make it big just like DaBaby. When City Boy tries to hand him a mixtape, Baby asks him how much he wants for it. “Shit, you can get it for free,” he says. However, DaBaby insists on paying, and asks again how much he’s selling it for. When he tells him it’s $10, Baby hands over two fives, and encourages him to “keep that shit up.”

“That shit possible,” he tells City Boy, who tosses out his Instagram handle. DaBaby made sure to tag the up-and-comer on the story, which no doubt gave him some some major exposure. What a wholesome moment.

If there's one thing we know in life, and it clearly isn't the title of Russ' deluxe edition album, it's that Lil Uzi Vert loves Rihanna. I mean, I guess this isn't that big of a deal too, because who doesn't love Rihanna? She is a universal figure beloved by all, from rapper to politicians (or so we imagine). 

Lil Uzi Vert has confessed his love for the mega-superstar in the past, and even admitted that he would never stand a chance with her. Nonetheless, he seems to always keep RiRi in mind, and he doesn't hesitate to slide into her comment section whenever she does, well, anything. Rihanna doesn't share that much on Instagram, and when she does, it typically pertains to her lingerie line Savage x Fenty. This is exactly what happened during her last IG visit, and of course, Uzi had to slide through and remind us whose team he's on.

Today it seems he needed to offer fans a reminder-- his stories are often eclectic, and today's stories featured a mix of just about everything-- screenshots from a fan's comment, other artist reposts, an old photo, and squeezed in there-- a Rihanna screenshot. The artist took it upon himself to revisit that one time Rihanna showed off her new underwear, in promotion of her Savage x Fenty brand. It's an image that excited Uzi when it first happened, and it clearly still excites him, as he's kept the screenshot saved in his phone.

You can view the original RiRi screenshot below, it's the same one Uzi has decided it's time for us all to re-see.

It’s been a little over one year since Nipsey Hussle was fatally shot in Los Angeles and those who admired him continue to mourn his loss. It’s reported that the trial of Eric Holder, the man accused of shooting and killing Nipsey Hussle on March 31, 2019, will soon arrive. The trial is expected to take over airwaves and social media, but until those days come, Lauren London continues to be the vessel that shares wisdom from the love of her life.

Millions have been inspired by Nipsey’s work ethic, community building, and words of wisdom. Lauren London took to Instagram earlier today to revisit a message that Nipsey previously shared on Instagram that spoke directly to people wasting their time arguing with one another online. According to Nipsey Hussle, their talents and skills can be used elsewhere, specifically toward building their own empires that can help those around them.

“Message to u Twitter bangers: All that dissing tha hood and playin internet games aint doin Nothin for y’all rep,” the late rapper wrote in a caption. “Get some money. Put yo family in positions. Put yo homies in position. And then come bac around as evidence that these Yung n*ggas under you can do the same.” Check out the Instagram post below and let us know if you think Nipsey Hussle was speaking truths.

Lil Uzi Vert's crush on Rihanna has yet to subside, as the rapper shared a shot of Rih flashing her underwear on his Instagram story. It's no secret that Uzi has a thing for Rihanna. He's confessed his love for her on multiple occasions, but Rih doesn't even seem to mind his affection for her, as the two of them danced together on Instagram live recently. Since she's the only account that he follows on Instagram, he never misses when she shares new content and always makes sure to give her posts some love.

That goes for stories, as well, apparently. On Saturday, the multi-hyphenate mogul posted a boomerang on her IG story, in which she had lifted her T-shirt to show off the sheer, high-waisted underwear she was wearing. She included a link to the website for her lingerie brand, Savage X Fenty, leading us to believe that this peek at her drawers was actually a crafty way to promote her line's new arrivals.

Okay, let’s try to unpack all of this. This morning, we reported on how last night NBA Youngboy was sharing a couple of Instagram Stories were a lady friend was seen in the background, and said lady friend was apparently ~not~ his girl, Yaya Mayweather. Yet, Yaya Mayweather tweeted otherwise, claiming to be in the two Instagram Stories that fans are now dissecting to the tenth degree.

Once The Shade Room got their hands on NBA Youngboy’s video clips, they quickly spread across the internet, forcing Yaya to respond: “That was me in both videos on his story ain’t no “Yaya there too” let’s be very clear Yaya been here and the ONLY one that’s here dpwm,” she wrote.

Fans weren’t convinced though, zooming all the way in on the two video clips to spot inconsistencies with the possibility that Yaya was present; citing everything from hair to nails. Now, the girl who was in the video has spoken out.

We still don’t really know who this girl is, but she shared a couple of IG Stories in response to the headlines, which were stealthy captured by TSR. In the stories, she writes, “The storyline was false…I never denied my presence. Relax,” thus insinuating that she was there, despite Yaya’s claims. She continued, “BUT just know…I ain’t never “sister wifing” it with another female…or being in the same house. That’s wild and an assassination of my character. Ain’t nobody thuggin me like that. PERIOD.”

What can we assess from this statement? It’s unclear if she’s claiming she is or is not romantically attached to NBA Youngboy– but she does make it clear that she won’t be playing second fiddle to Yaya Mayweather.

We’ll have to see how this all unfolds. In the meantime, stream NBA Younboy’s new album 38 Baby 2 here. 

They may have had a physical altercation that was not only filmed but went viral, yet that doesn’t mean that Azriel Clary doesn’t miss Joycelyn Savage. The two ladies were joined together by their much older loverR. Kelly, but after Azriel decided to leave once the disgraced singer was incarcerated, Joycelyn didn’t take too kindly to her former partner moving out. They fought each other in a violent incident that was played out for the masses, resulting in Joycelyn being arrested.

On Friday (April 17), Azriel took to her Instagram Story to share a few thoughts about Joycelyn. She wrote a lengthy message over a photo of herself holding a dog as she and Joycelyn smiled and posed for a selfie inside of an elevator. “Miss u,” Azriel began. “This is when belief had to get stitches in his paw and I was crying in the taxi and you were trying to comfort me. ur beautiful and strong, and one day you will remember your strength too. i know leaving was bad, but I also know you weren’t yourself, because the funny southern-bell, wingspot lovin, Memphis reppin Joy I know would’ve never.”

Azriel added, “I love you, a man should never hold you back and one that is happy to do so is not a real man.” She never names R. Kelly in her message, but people read between the lines. “A man that does not allow you to have a life outside of him is not a man with genuine intentions. always missing you.” Check it out below.
