Tyler, The Creator & Doechii Debut “Get Right” at Louis Vuitton Paris Fashion Show
Paris, France – Tyler, The Creator and Doechii unveiled their latest collaboration “Get Right” during Louis Vuitton’s star-studded runway show at Paris Fashion Week — a bold, bass-heavy track produced by Pharrell Williams, who also serves as the brand’s Men’s Creative Director.
The electrifying record, their second joint effort following last year’s “Balloon,” blends Pharrell’s signature drum patterns with industrial flair, drawing comparisons to Kanye West’s Yeezus era. The track served as the pulsating soundtrack to a showcase that brought together fashion icons and hip hop royalty including JAY-Z, Beyoncé, Pusha T, and Future.
Tyler, a longtime admirer of Doechii, previously described his reaction to discovering her music as love at first listen:
“I was like, ‘What is this? Damn, this girl pretty as hell,’” he told fans. “Then I clicked and was blown away.”
Their creative chemistry has only intensified since, with Tyler bringing Doechii on stage during his Chromakopia tour and calling her “incredible” and “an artist who really cares.”
Doechii has returned the admiration, recently naming Tyler among her favorite artists alongside MF DOOM, Westside Gunn, and JAY-Z.
With “Get Right,” the two genre-pushing artists have once again proven they’re a visionary match — on both the runway and the mic. -
Offset Reveals Pop Star Crush as Divorce Drama with Cardi B Unfolds
Set has unveiled his unexpected celebrity crush — and it’s none other than pop sensation Sabrina Carpenter
During a recent sit-down with Complex, the former Migos rapper was challenged by magician Anna DeGuzman to name his celeb crush. In a twist, DeGuzman handed him a piece of paper with Carpenter’s name already written on it. Offset was visibly surprised, exclaiming: “How you get this right? She just guessed this, that’s crazy.”
Though he admitted he wasn’t too familiar with her music, he gave Carpenter props:
“I feel like, artistically, like she got it all together.”
The revelation comes amid Offset’s ongoing divorce proceedings with estranged wife Cardi B. The Atlanta native has requested spousal support and joint custody of the couple’s three children, along with a fair division of assets and each party covering their own legal fees.Meanwhile, Cardi B has gone public with her rumored new boyfriend, NFL star Stefon Diggs, describing herself as “in love” during a recent X Spaces chat. Their relationship has raised eyebrows, with Offset previously labeling it a “publicity stunt”, and online personality DJ Akademiks even alleging that Cardi and Diggs were texting while she was pregnant with her third child.
With Offset’s love life making headlines again — and his Sabrina Carpenter crush now in the open — it seems the rapper is balancing public drama with personal fascination. -
Joe Budden Accidentally Reveals Podcast Earnings — Over $900K From Patreon Alone
Joe Budden may have unintentionally given fans a peek behind the curtain of his podcast empire — and the numbers are impressive.
In a recent Instagram Story post meant to show off the views his podcast videos were getting, Budden failed to fully blur out a section of the screen that appeared to reveal his Patreon revenue. The slightly blurred text clearly indicated that The Joe Budden Podcast has raked in just over $900,000 from Patreon subscriptions alone.
Importantly, this figure does not include revenue from YouTube, ad deals, sponsorships, or merch — meaning Budden’s actual podcast earnings are likely well into seven figures.
The revelation adds some weight to Budden’s past claims about the financial success of his show. Last year, in a lighthearted conversation with rapper Doe Boy, the former Slaughterhouse MC estimated that he’s made around $4 million over the last decade from podcasting — though even his co-hosts questioned the accuracy of that figure.Budden laughed it off at the time, but doubled down:
“Probably about three and a half to four and a half mil,” he said, adding that his gross income might be closer to $7 million.
He also used the moment to encourage aspiring podcasters:
“This is not unimaginable. If you work hard and keep your head down to the finish line and just focus on your content.”
While Budden’s numbers are solid, they still trail the likes of Twitch and YouTube megastars like Kai Cenat, who regularly pull in multimillion-dollar revenues through diversified digital content. Still, for someone who began his podcasting journey as a passion project, Budden’s accidental earnings reveal proves he’s built a legitimate business — whether he meant to show it or not. -
Freddie Gibbs & The Alchemist Announce ‘Alfredo 2’ Album — Sequel to 2020 Classic Is Official
Cover art revealed, no release date yet as anticipation builds for next chapter in acclaimed collaboration
Freddie Gibbs and The Alchemist are officially reuniting for a new joint project — Alfredo 2, the long-awaited sequel to their Grammy-nominated 2020 album Alfredo. The pair unveiled the announcement with cover art that mirrors the original’s iconic imagery: a puppet master’s hands hovering over a plate of pasta.
While the release date is still under wraps, fans have been waiting for this news since as far back as 2021, when the duo began teasing a follow-up. At the time, Gibbs told NPR:
“Next [album] I want to go to Hawaii. We can record in Hawaii. I’m going to bring in like 20 strippers. I need it for my mindset.”
The announcement arrives amid rumors that another highly anticipated Gibbs project — his joint album with Madlib — had been lost in the devastating Los Angeles wildfires earlier this year. A Reddit post from a fan claimed Gibbs had said the album was destroyed. However, Gibbs quickly shut that down on social media with a simple post:
“This cap,” he wrote, denying the report.While Madlib did indeed lose his family home and music archives in the wildfires, no confirmation has come that any collaborative work with Gibbs was lost. A fundraiser launched by Madlib’s manager, Stacy Epps, noted the producer lost “decades of music and equipment”, and asked fans for help as he rebuilds.
Despite the tragic setbacks in his musical orbit, Gibbs is pressing forward. With Alfredo 2 now on the horizon, fans can look forward to more gritty lyricism, cinematic beats, and razor-sharp chemistry from two of Hip Hop’s most respected names.
Stay tuned for a release date — this sequel promises to serve another gourmet-level plate of rap. -
Rick Ross Reunites With Pharrell on New Single “For The Money”: “This Is a Global Slapper”
Rozay calls upcoming Paris-shot release a “new level of creativity”
Rick Ross is officially back with a bang, linking once again with longtime collaborator Pharrell Williams for a high-energy new single titled “For The Money.” Slated to drop on Friday, June 27, the track has already been previewed in a slick Paris-based visual teaser featuring both Ross and Pharrell suited up in luxury fashion.
In a video posted to social media, Rozay hyped up the collaboration with his trademark bravado:
“It’s finally official. Ricky Rozay this Friday, my new single, produced by Pharrell, for real… We dropping a straight international global slapper.”
He continued:
“This right here is different. This will forever guarantee my name is set in stone. An elegant, classy affair. A fly, international record.”
The Miami mogul has previously teamed up with Pharrell on standout tracks like “Presidential” (from God Forgives, I Don’t), “MMG The World Is Ours,” and The Neptunes-produced “Get Down.”
While Ross has been relatively quiet on the music front lately, he’s kept busy with other ventures — including launching his own dental clinic in Atlanta earlier this year alongside celebrity dentist Dr. Mario Montoya. The clinic promises clients a “billion dollar smile,” and joins Rozay’s growing empire of business moves outside rap.
With “For The Money,” Rick Ross is signaling a return to high-end, international Hip Hop flair — and based on the early buzz, fans can expect nothing short of luxury and lyrical power when the track drops this week. -
Selena Gomez Reveals Childhood Crush on Ice Cube: “I Thought He’d Protect Me”
Pop star opens up about her earliest celebrity infatuation — and names Eminem as her all-time favorite rapper
Selena Gomez has revealed a surprising childhood crush — and it’s none other than West Coast rap legend Ice Cube.
During a recent appearance on GOAT Talk with Karol G, the singer and actress shared a sweet (and unexpected) confession about her younger years:
“Can I tell you my first one that I had a crush on? Ice Cube,” Gomez said with a laugh. “I had the biggest crush on him. I was, like, five. It’s so weird but I just thought he would protect me.” She added that the affection was purely childhood innocence: “I’m only saying it simply based on my childhood.”
Gomez also revealed that Eminem holds the title of her favorite rapper of all time, crediting her DJ father for introducing her to Slim Shady’s music:
“Every time it was an Eminem song, I would just get so excited,” she said.
Selena isn’t the only star letting fans in on their early crushes. Offset recently confessed — via magician-assisted reveal — that his celebrity crush is Sabrina Carpenter, calling her “artistically, really put together.”
Elsewhere, Chloe Bailey previously gushed about her longtime love for Kendrick Lamar, admitting on Instagram Live that she had a full “K. Dot phase” years ago:
“I was convinced I was going to be with him,” she laughed.
From Ice Cube to Sabrina Carpenter, these candid celebrity crush confessions are a reminder that even superstars grew up starstruck. -
Cam’ron Inks $750K Memoir Deal With Simon & Schuster: “Hopefully It Drops February 2026”
Dipset icon promises untold stories, music history, and lessons from a legendary career
Cam’ron is officially adding “author” to his résumé after landing a $750,000 book deal with publishing giant Simon & Schuster. The Harlem rap legend confirmed that his upcoming memoir is already in the works, with a tentative release date set for February 2026.
In a statement about the project, Cam’ron shared:
“I’m happy to have this deal done. Hopefully the book will be released February of 2026 and that everyone can take something from my memoir when they read it.”
The book — which has yet to be titled — will chart Killa Cam’s meteoric rise in Hip Hop, his role as a founding member of The Diplomats (Dipset), and his recent evolution into a popular sports media personality with his talk show It Is What It Is. Fans can also expect behind-the-scenes stories from some of the most iconic and controversial moments of his career.
Cam’ron has recently been vocal about his songwriting contributions in the music industry, revealing that he originally wrote his classic “I Really Mean It” for Lil’ Kim — who turned it down.
“That’s one of my biggest records… I’m happy she didn’t want the song,” he said.
He also claimed credit for penning 3LW’s 2000 debut hit “No More (Baby I’ma Do Right),” telling fans:
“That’s me. I penned that joint.”Meanwhile, former Dipset collaborator Jim Jones has thrown his own hat in the ring, claiming that he ghostwrote on “every one” of Cam’s albums — an assertion that adds more tension to their ongoing feud.
As anticipation builds, Cam’s memoir promises to be a must-read for Hip Hop fans, revealing not just the glitz and grime of the rap game, but also the personal evolution of one of Harlem’s most influential voices. -
Fat Joe Responds to Explosive Lawsuit from Ex-Hypeman: “You’ve Messed With the Wrong One”
Bronx rapper denies claims of abuse, exploitation, and underage misconduct in fiery social media statement
Fat Joe has fiercely denied allegations made by his former hypeman Terrance “T.A.” Dixon, who filed a bombshell lawsuit accusing the rapper of a range of serious offenses — including coercive labor exploitation, financial fraud, sexual misconduct, and psychological abuse.
In his first public response, Fat Joe took to social media with a lengthy statement defending himself and condemning both Dixon and his attorney, Tyrone Blackburn.
“I’ve been tested the last few months — I’ve lost my big brother, my father, my mother — and now I’m fighting against these disgusting lies,” Joe wrote. “But please know I will not break and I will NEVER back down.”
Joe went on to reflect on what he views as betrayal by people in his inner circle:
“I’ve had people steal from me, grow jealous of me, lie on me. Through it all, me and my family are the ones stuck dealing with the consequences of their bad decisions.”The rapper also addressed the falling out with Dixon, which occurred in 2019:
“If you get fired for doing something wrong, just take the L and live with it. But instead, they plot on your downfall… They figure they can make up the most insane stories and, if they threaten you with a lawsuit, then you’ll pay and they’ll feel like they finally won.”
Fat Joe directly refuted any attempt to be extorted, stating:
“I’ve never let anyone on the streets extort me, so how would I ever let a crooked attorney and a coward ex-hype man extort me? I’m from the Bronx!”
He also took aim at Dixon’s lawyer, Tyrone Blackburn, who himself is facing legal trouble following a recent assault arrest.
“Mr. Tyrone Blackburn… we will finish you in court. The time of lawyers using their law license as a badge to extort people and destroy families with no evidence is over!! You’ve messed with the wrong one this time!!”
As the legal battle unfolds, Fat Joe appears ready to fight the accusations head-on — not just in court, but also in the court of public opinion.
