Streetwear "it-boy" Ian Connor was trending on Twitter overnight and, when that happens, it's usually for nothing good. The creative has previously been accused of rape by 21 women and, for some reason, those allegations were never taken too seriously. Well, that number has officially risen to 33 and Ian Connor responded by virtually spitting in his accusers' faces.
"Make The Number 31 or 78 or Even 1,000 While Y’all At It," he wrote on Twitter, adding a bunch of laughing faces. "And Yes I’m Laughing Outta Pure Amusement. Ciao!"
After that, he went on to spend his entire evening clapping back at trolls threatening to cancel him. In fact, he's so confident that he will never be silenced that he's putting up money.
"I’ll Give Away Half My Bank Account If Y’all Successfully Cancel Meh, and That’s On Blood, Raven and Oli," wrote Ian Connor. "I Say This With The Upmost Composure and Conscious Mind."
Prior to that, he sent off a few trolling responses to his haters.

"'I’ve Seen It On The Internet, It Must Be True,'" he mimicked. "I’m Actually Gay. I Sold My Soul 2 Get Back On Top. I’m Illuminated."
Finally, he realized that he probably shouldn't be making light of the allegations, given how serious they are. He told fans that he would be heading off the internet for the night.
"I Apologize, I Shouldn’t Be Trolling No Matter How Personal It May Be To Self," wrote the model. "Imma Get Off Y’all’s Internet For Ah Bit."
6ix9ine Comes For G Herbo After "GOOBA" Goes Gold
Tekashi 6ix9ine is laughing at G Herbo following his new Gold certification for “GOOBA.”
Tekashi 6ix9ine officially returned with his new single “GOOBA” two weeks ago, breaking records on Instagram Live and YouTube with the release. As expected, it only took him a couple of weeks for the track to be certified Gold and, now that he’s earned another hit in his books, he’s trolling all of the rappers that doubted him.
Upon his return, 6ix9ine took aim at Meek Mill, Rich The Kid, and others. Now, he’s seemingly going for G Herbo after the Chicago star pointed out that Tekashi didn’t technically beat his case. All it took was a Gold record for 6ix9ine to load up another clip, firing rounds on the ‘gram at his new sparring partner.

“@nolimitherbo imagine tranna be platinum in the streets,” wrote the rapper. The irony behind his post is too blatant to not point out as, before he got nabbed for racketeering, 6ix9ine was trying to do just that: go platinum in the streets.
G Herbo is releasing the deluxe edition of his album PTSD at the end of this week, hoping to go platinum with it. As for Tekashi, he’s releasing a new single on Friday with a secret featured artist.
Who are you siding with?
Lil Uzi Vert Still Trolling Playboi Carti, Shares Album Artwork
Lil Uzi Vert just won't let up on Playboi Carti, sharing some new cover artwork that may be for "Whole Lotta Red."
After teasing a new release on Monday, Playboi Carti and Lil Uzi Vertdid not end up delivering. The day was still filled with madness from both sides though, kicking off the moment Carti signed onto Twitter. Once Uzi got the notification that his former friend and current rival was back online, the fun began.
Playboi Carti sent out a couple of tweets about his upcoming album Whole Lotta Red, which got Uzi out of his hole, talking shit anew.
"Red is MY fav album of mine," wrote Carti. "Did u drop yet ?" replied Uzi with an eye-roll emoji.
Perhaps the most troll-worthy moment of the day came when Lil Uzi Vert actually shared some album artwork, painting the cover of Playboi Carti's "@ MEH" in red and playing it off as though it were the official art for Whole Lotta Red.
The glorified fan artwork probably didn't take too long to find or edit himself in a free software.
This feud -- if we can even call it that -- has been tremendously one-sided thus far. Playboi Carti has not really even acknowledged the fact that Lil Uzi Vert is continually bullying him about the drop. At the end of the day, nobody is quite sure whether this is real or if they're working together to dupe the world.

Jim Jones Responds to 50 Cent Trolling Him With Informant Allegations
Jim Jones took to Instagram to respond to 50 Cent once again trolling him with accusations that he’s a government informant.
It may be April Fool’s Day, but Jim Jones doesn’t think there was anything funny about an Instagram post made by 50 Cent. During Tekashi 6ix9ine‘s trial, a phone call was played in the courtroom where Jim Jones is reportedly heard saying, “[Tekashi] not a gang member no more. He was never a gang member. They going to have to violate shorty because shorty is on some bull****.”

Since that time, 50 Cent has stated that he believes Jones was an informant, even teasing the rapper on social media. Fif returned on Wednesday (April 1) with another jab as news has circulated that 6ix9ine could be released sooner than later due to COVID-19. “??Now individual 1 ya gonna have to tell everybody how you were on tape in court on the phone coaching Mel,to super duper violate shorty but the Feds never picked you up and the charges were Rico & conspiracy Confidential informant,” 50 Cent wrote in a caption.
Jim Jones looks as if he caught wind of Fif’s words and had a few of his own. The rapper shared a photo of Jamel ‘Mel Murda’ Jones who received 11 years behind bars in connection with his involvement with the Nine Trey Bloods. “Melly said he doin super fine,” Jones wrote in the caption. “You have to watch out for these so call real ones thts routing for rats to come home and And wanna see real nighas go to jail. Any nigha th needs to try n tarnish another mans name for personal gain has to b a hoe why else would he have my d*ck so far down his throat lol ? pause.” Check out both Jones and Fif’s posts below.
Nets Hilariously Troll Knicks With Kevin Durant & Spike Lee Photo
The Nets show no mercy when the New York Knicks are involved.
Heading into this season, it was quite clear that the Brooklyn Nets would be a better team than the New York Knicks. The Knicks have been an abysmal franchise for decades and when they lost out on Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant, it was clear that they would be in for a rough season. Last night, things got a lot weirder as there was a dispute between superfan Spike Lee and management. The dispute was carried over into today when the Knicks posted a photo of Lee shaking hands with owner James Dolan.
Not ones to pass up a good trolling opportunity, the Brooklyn Nets took to Twitter where they posted a photo of Kevin Durant shaking Spike Lee's hand. The caption said "what's this about a handshake photo?" which must have sent Knicks fans and their owner into a tizzy.

Unfortunately, the Nets deleted the post and now, all we have is a screenshot. It's a pretty sad state of affairs when you consider how perfect of a shot it is. We don't know why the Nets deleted the post although it's probably because they didn't want any sort of public relations disaster to follow suit.
While the deletion is sad, at least we will forever be left with the memories of what we had.
50 Cent Appears To Troll Fans With Def Jam CEO Announcement
Paul Rosenberg recently stepped down as the CEO of Def Jam and now 50 Cent seems poised to take his spot.
Def Jam is one of the most iconic labels in hip-hop although it has seen a bit of a decline over the last decade. For the last two years, Paul Rosenberg has been in charge of the brand and it seems like he wasn't doing enough to meet the label's goals. With this in mind, it shouldn't be a surprise that he recently decided to step down, albeit, at a pretty odd time.
Now, Def Jam is looking for a brand new CEO and there have been rumors as to who it will be. Many are trying to guess who the best fit would be and some pretty famous people have been brought up. In fact, a recent episode of The Joe Budden Podcast had some thinking Kanye West could fit the role. While nothing is confirmed, 50 Cent decided to throw his hat into the ring although it feels like he's trolling, which is usually the case with Fif.
"I have decided to take the Job at Def Jam. somebody gotta do it, who better then me," 50 wrote. Fans were immediately perplexed by 50's announcement and it was pretty transparent that it was a troll. While Fif is certainly qualified for the job, he would be delivering a much more official statement if he was really going to take the position.
It remains to be seen who will get Rosenberg's former post so stay tuned as we will be sure to bring you the latest updates.
"Power" Star Omari Hardwick Claps Back At Fans On IG
Omari Hardwick clapped back at some “Power” fans in the comments of his poetic IG post who told him to stick to playing Ghost on the hit show.
Omari Hardwick retaliated against some trolls in his IG comments who told him that fans only like him as Ghost on Power after the actor put a famous poem in the caption of his post. The Power actor was repping his Alpha Phi Alpha roots on Instagram when he posted a photo of himself accompanied by the poem “Invictus” by English poet William Ernest Henley. It’s customary that pledges learn that particular poem before they’re given the opportunity to become a member of the fraternity, so it makes sense that these words carry special meaning for Omari.
However, one of his followers was not impressed by this share, and decided to let the actor know that he should stick to playing James “Ghost” St. Patrick on Power instead of trying to be deep. It’s definitely possible that the user didn’t know the significance behind the poem, but even so, they made it clear they’re only interested in Omari when he’s playing Ghost. The troll commented, “We want ghost f*ck what you talking about,” to which Omari replied, “I am ghOst. I am first O. I am everything. You want ghost cuz i put me in him.”

It appears that another user agreed with the original commenter, as they replied, “Honestly I agree holy sh*t .. he was kool until I hear him in real life .. matter fact where’s tommy.” Omari saw this reply as well, and really started to get fed up with all the hate. He did his worst, writing back, “Now you….you the clown. When i slap the sh*t outa you (cuz you don’t deserve more than that) outa you….i will remind you thas from me, Omari. B*tch ass f*ck boy. Go be just THAT. Clown ass n*ggas. Should go ask your Momz if she can rebirth you. Matta fact….go find Tommy & Joe. See if they don’t say the same.”
Omari really let the spirit of Ghost take over him for a minute there. While the series finale of Power already premiered on February 9th, several spinoffs of the popular show have been announced: Power Book II: Ghost, Power Book III: Raising Kanan, Power Book IV: Influence, and Power Book V: Force.
Jeannie Mai & Jeezy Get Trolled With Coronavirus Insults
Jeannie Mai spoke about how the Coronavirus outbreak has made her relationship a target for cruel remarks.
Their love is going strong, but Jeezy and Jeannie Mai have been the subject of cruelty from the public over their romance. The unlikely couple went public with their relationship last year, and since then they’ve enjoyed flaunting their love to the world. However, there have been more than a few people who have gotten their kicks over cruelly trolling the pair, especially now that the Coronavirus has taken over headlines.

This latest Coronavirus outbreak originated in the Wuhan City of China. As death tolls climb into the thousands, the internet has responded by creating memes or commenting about the Asian community in ways that have been deemed racist. “When Jeezy and I were in Fashion Week just recently and there were pictures posted, I saw in the comments on other blogs a couple times of like, ‘Don’t be catching that [Coronavirus] Jeezy,’ or ‘She got that [Coronavirus] that latched him in,'” Jeannie said on The Real. “That’s so hurtful because there are people that are actually dying from this.”
“We know that misinformation coupled with fear leads to xenophobia,” Jeannie added. “Xenophobia is a deep-rooted fear against foreigners. So, we just gotta do better and know, when it comes to yourself, educate yourself so that you don’t give life to fears.” Loni Love went on to explain that Coronavirus isn’t airborne and Adrienne Houghton chimed in that people need to stick up for others when they hear racist or bigoted remarks. Watch the clip of The Real below.
Roddy Ricch Trolls Justin Bieber’s Attempts To Go #1 By Telling Fans "Stream ‘Yummy’"
We love a petty king.
It was reported this week that Roddy Ricch's hit song, "The Box" surpassed Justin Bieber's "Yummy," on the Spotify charts and claimed the number 1 spot, an impressive feat for the hip hop newcomer. Considering Bieber's longstanding career as a popstar, not to mention his avid fanbase of Beliebers, likely nobody could have predicted that the Compton rapper would be wind up preventing Bieber's solo comeback to fall short. While Roddy has plenty of reason to celebrate, the news seems to have left Bieber shook, as he probably never expected to have any competition in climbing the charts when he embarked on his return as a solo artist. Lately, Bieber and his team have been practically forcing "Yummy" down everyone's throats, encouraging Beliebers to do the absolute most to get "Yummy" to debut at #1 like buying the song multiple times on his website or playing the song on Spotify at a low volume while they sleep. Bieber was roasted all over the Internet for his desperate antics, and it looks like Roddy has joined in on the fun.
On Saturday afternoon, Roddy took to Twitter to encourage his fans to do the one thing they've definitely avoided doing: "stream yummy by justin bieber ??." The tweet is obviously a dig at Bieber for his pathetic attempts to inch out "The Box" from the number 1 spot, and the pettiness it exudes is just too good. His fans had some hilarious responses, one even asking, "how much did justin bieber pay you??" We wouldn't be surprised if he resorted to that at this point. Stream "The Box."
Jim Jones Trolls Fabolous & Emily B’s Romance: "I’m Sick Of Ya’ll"
Jim Jones isn’t here for the love.
It’s always nice to see some good old fashioned romance in hip-hop. After all, celebrities have a hard time maintaining relationships in the best of times. Whether it’s the constant temptation or the whirlwind schedules, many famous names and faces have seen their unions crumble before that all-important three-year milestone. For those who do manage to overcome the challenges, the end results are all-the-more important. One such couple is Fabolous and Emily B, who have managed to overcome a widely publicized incident and emerge on the other side.

Following the release of Summertime Shootout 3, Fabolous has been more vocal in flaunting his lovesick ways, flooding his Instagram page with coupled-up shots. It got so frequent that Jim Jones took it upon himself to mischievously troll the couple. “I’m sick of yal lol,” he tearfully comments, alongside a pic of Fab and Emily’s intimate New Year’s Eve bender. “Very fly.”
It’s clear that Jones harbors no ill-will to the couple; he’s somewhat of a romantic himself, having been with his girlfriend Chrissy Lampkin for over fifteen years now. In spite of Jones’ trollish commentary, wean expect Fab will continue to keep the pictures coming, social media timeline etiquette be damned. Shout out to all of you hopeless romantics out there.
