Rihanna has joined the chat and wants to let people know she’s riding behind her man, A$AP Rocky. The FENTY Beauty founder recently commented under a post of the rapper performing his new song, “STOLE YA FLOW,” where he supposedly takes shots at Drake. Rocky had recently headlined Amazon Music’s new live docu-performance series, Songline. Judging by Ri’s comment, she is in full support of the track. “I meaaaannnn….!!!!” she wrote. “First you stole my flow, so I stole yo’ b*tch,” Rocky raps. “I can’t trust a soul, just my pole and my kids/Swear to never lie, cross my heart, hope to die, uh/Then I sold the switch, then I hit it with a kiss, mwah.” Following the release of his long-awaited album Don’t Be Dumb, fans quickly zeroed in on the track, with many interpreting certain lyrics as a possible shot at the Toronto rapper. However, Rocky has now made it clear that the song was not intended as a diss. In a recent interview, the Harlem rapper explained that “Stole Ya Flow” isn’t about Drake specifically. When asked if it can be confirmed he was dissing Drake, Rocky explained, “It’s for whoever feels like it’s about them.” Rihanna post a comment on A$AP Rocky’s diss track “STOLE YA FLOW” “I meaaaannnn….!!!!” pic.twitter.com/2ie13n1Bgs — DailyRapFacts (@DailyRapFacts) January 17, 2026 A$AP Rocky Calls Himself Rihanna’s Husband; Fans Can’t Get Enough In other news, during a recent interview with Perfect, Rocky details where his happiness lies these days. “I think peace really makes me happy. Being a father and a partner and a loving husband in my family is what makes me really, really happy. I hope this doesn’t sound cliché, and I would hate if it does, because that’s what honestly does get me going.” He continues, “Being able to express myself creatively, being able to be a family man, and being able to be an artisan. It doesn’t matter what hat I wear that day, it’s just about being able to give it my all and do these things.” This isn’t the first time Rocky hinted at potential wedding bells between the two. During a previous interview with Elle Magazine, Rocky asked the reporter, “How do you know I’m not already a husband? I’m still not gonna confirm it,” which left fans wondering.

Nicki Minaj had some choice words for Don Lemon, following his reporting on an anti-ICE protest in a Minnesota church. On Sunday (Jan.18), protestors stormed a Minnesota church after it was revealed that its pastor had alleged ties to the federal agency. Don Lemon, who had been reporting via his livestream, confronted that pastor about his connections to the group. Not long after the clip began to circulate online, it somehow reached Nicki Minaj’s timeline, and she slammed the long-time journalist. Minaj called Lemon a disgusting “c*cksucker” and demanded he be thrown in jail. “DON ‘COCK SUCKIN’ LEMON IS DISGUSTING. HOW DARE YOU?” she wrote in an X post. I WANT THAT THUG IN JAIL!!!!! HE WOULD NEVER DO THAT TO ANY OTHER RELIGION. LOCK HIM UP!!!!!” Lemon told TMZ he’s not “surprised” about Nicki’s actions. “[She] does not understand journalism and is weighing in on matters that are above her capacity.” DON ‘COCK SUCKIN’ LEMON IS DISGUSTING.

LOCK HIM UP!!!!! pic.twitter.com/xoQBl9KDJY — Nicki Minaj (@NICKIMINAJ) January 19, 2026 Nicki Minaj Slams Gavin Newsom At Turning Point Event This isn’t the first time Nicki Minaj has used her platform to defend her beliefs. The rapper recently slammed Gov.Gavin Newsom during her appearance at Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest. Throughout her conversation with Erica Kirk, the wife of late right-wing commentator Charlie Kirk, Nicki Minaj discussed her ongoing beef with California Gov. Gavin Newsom. Minaj specifically commented on Newsom’s support for gender affirming care for transgender youth. Not long ago, during an appearance on The Ezra Klein Show, Newsom said, “I want to see trans kids…I have a trans godson. There’s no governor who has signed more pro-trans legislation than I have. No one has been a stronger advocate for the LGBTQ community.” During the event, Minaj decided to re-read one of her X posts where she criticized Newsom. “Imagine being the guy running on wanting to see trans kids, haha, not even a trans adult would run on that,” she read. “Normal adults wake up and think they want to see healthy, safe, happy kids — not Gav.”

Ski Mask The Slump God promises always to remember his late best friend and fellow Members Only rapper XXXTentacion’s legacy, whether fans like it or not. On Jan. 17, 2026, the Florida rapper took to his Instagram Story to address criticism from fans who claim he leans too heavily on XXXTentacion’s music during his live shows. The comments struck a nerve, prompting Ski to clarify his setlists, defend his performance record, and explain why honoring his late friend remains central to his shows. “N***as talking about I only play X at my shows,” Ski wrote, opening with a blunt rebuttal. Ski Mask the Slump God goes off on fans complaining that he only plays XXXTENTACION’s music at his shows “N****s talking about I only play X at my shows n***a if you was informed you would know I play 100 of my songs before that, my bad my best friend who I made the most music… pic.twitter.com/V9dBkghSA3 — Wost (@mosthiphop) January 19, 2026 He quickly challenged that perception. “If you was informed you would known I play 100 of my songs before that,” he added, suggesting critics were speaking without firsthand knowledge. According to Ski, the narrative ignores the breadth of his catalog and the structure of his performances. Ski Mask The Slump God has released two full-length studio albums. The most emotional moment came when he addressed XXXTentacion’s death. “My bad my best friend who I made the most music with passed and I want to keep his name alive,” Ski wrote. Ski Mask The Slump God Rips Fans Complaining About His Members Only Friend XXXTentacion Tribute Before His Shows The statement underscored the bond between the two artists, who rose together as core members of the Members Only collective. For Ski, performing X’s music functions as tribute, not dependence, and reflects a shared history that shaped both careers. Ski also responded to claims questioning his live show credibility. “I also seen someone say someone saved me from performing at Rolling Loud,” he wrote, before firing back, “show me one Rolling Loud set that I don’t have the whole crowd jumping.” He framed crowd reaction as the real metric, not online chatter. XXXTentacion and Ski Mask The Slump God frequently toured together early in their career. He further rejected claims that his popularity has declined. “I sell out all my solo tours 3 to 4k people buddy,” Ski said, dismissing talk of smaller venues. “They said I probably do 500 people venues,” he added, calling the idea disconnected from reality. Ski closed with a wider point about taste and respect. “Music is subjective,” he wrote, comparing fan bias to dismissing artists like Taylor Swift despite clear success. His final line, “When I drop all year. I don’t want to hear you cop pleas either,” signaled confidence going forward. The message blended frustration with loyalty, showing Ski Mask defending his present while preserving XXXTentacion’s legacy.

Gervonta “Tank” Davis has been stripped of his World Boxing Association (WBA) lightweight title following the issuance of an arrest warrant tied to an alleged domestic violence incident, according to multiple reports. The WBA announced that Davis has been removed from his status as active champion and reclassified as “Champion in Recess” after authorities in Miami Gardens, Florida, issued a warrant for his arrest. The decision effectively vacates the title as the boxing organization assesses next steps, which could include ordering a fight between top contenders to crown a new champion. The arrest warrant stems from allegations made by a woman identified in court filings as Davis’s former girlfriend. She accused the undefeated boxer of assaulting her during an incident at a Miami-area venue in October 2025. The charges listed in the warrant reportedly include battery, false imprisonment, and attempted kidnapping. Law enforcement officials have stated that efforts are ongoing to locate Davis. Davis has not publicly addressed the warrant or the allegations as of this writing. His legal team has also not issued a formal statement. The legal developments have already had significant ramifications for Davis’s boxing career. A high-profile exhibition bout scheduled for later this year was reportedly canceled following the emergence of the allegations and subsequent criminal investigation. Widely regarded as one of boxing’s most explosive stars, Davis has held multiple world titles across different weight classes and entered the situation with an unblemished professional record. However, the uncertainty surrounding his legal status now places his future in the sport in question. The WBA stated that further action regarding the lightweight division will be determined as the case progresses.

T.I. has made his official (and final) return to music with his latest single, “LET EM KNOW.” It features production from Pharrell Williams and is the first single off the rapper’s upcoming album, Kill The King. The track begins with Williams’ iconic four-count start as T.I. reminds folks he’s still the King Of The South, tapping back into his Trap Muzik roots. “Big dog, all we get is bread, I ain’t never scared/Big flex on a n***a head,” he raps. “What I’m standing on? Business, big check, we done did that/Pushing whips back, better give me respect and some more.” The rapper’s last project, The L.I.B.R.A., was released in October 2020. Guest appearances on the project ranged from 21 Savage and Benny the Butcher to Killer Mike and comedian Ms. Pat. Following its release, it landed in the top 20 of the Billboard 200 at No.18. It also cracked the top 10 on the R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart at No.9. The new single, “Let Em’ Know,” is expected to appear on his upcoming album, Kill the King, which is expected to drop later this year. T.I.

Claims Mistaken Identity With Balding Hat Video: ‘The Devil Is A Lie’ In other news, before chopping off his locs, T.I. addressed rumors he was rocking a bald spot following a TikTok video circulating online. Last month, he stopped by Yung Joc & The Streetz Morning Takeover and confirmed that, in fact, things were not as they appear. According to T.I., he was not the man in that TikTok. “The devil is a lie,” the ATL actor said. During one moment in the discussion, one of the hosts even proposed that the footage could have been digitally altered, to which T.I. agreed. That said, the rapper appears to be taking the onslaught of jokes online in good fun. “It’s comedy, so I laugh,” he says. “It wouldn’t be funny if it were true.” Overall, the “Live Your Life” rapper believes people online need more “discernment” to tell what’s true or not. “In this age of technology where everyone keeps their phone in their hand,” he says. “… You have to use discernment, ya know, the word says, ‘use discernment.’” Discernment would say that the person that I’ve grown to know over these 25 years—the person I have grown to know as TIP—I can’t see him moving around in the house, let alone on stage like this.”

Sources close to the situation told TMZ that Kianna was left “motionless” in the street after being dragged under a vehicle for nearly two blocks. According to the outlet, the call went out early Friday (Jan.16). When EMS and police officials arrived, the former actress was announced dead on the scene. Underwood was only 33 years old at the time of her death. Back in 2023, a video posted to social media showed a former co-star of Underwood’s revealing that the actress had been homeless for quite some time.

The late actress’ father hopped on Facebook, questioning if she had been left to “die in the street alone.” He added, “Did anyone try to comfort my baby…or did they just stand around with their phones?” The post was only shared with close family and friends. So far, no other family members have spoken up about the horrific incident. The NY Post obtained footage of the moment where a car can be seen traveling nearly a block before Underwood’s body tumbles from underneath.

One person noted that while they were a fan of his comedy, they were happy to see him return to music. “I f*cked with your comedy TIP. I still wanna see you do comedy. But I’m glad you’re back in the booth… Rap needs you nigga. It’s terrible out here! Can’t wait to hear that HEAT!!!” they commented.

During a recent TikTok live, Jayda Cheaves made a startling allegation about her baby’s father, Lil Baby, and her former friend Ari Fletcher. The social media personality was promoting her skincare line before it became an all-out tea session. According to her, the speculation surrounding Ari and the rapper is, in fact, true, and they did allegedly hook up in the past. One fan asked, “The rumors about Ari & Baby???” to which she responded, “Them rumors are true, no shade, that’s been going on,” Cheaves said. She added, “That’s been a thing, but I don’t wanna talk about it.” It wasn’t long before the 27-year-old moved on to another subject. Not long after, a clip of the conversation circulated online, which only added to the long-standing rumors about Ari and Baby. Ari also happens to be dating one of Lil Baby’s peers, Moneybagg Yo.

From breakups and makeups to infidelity, the couple has faced it all. Back in 2023, Ari admitted that Moneybagg cheated on her, but she chose to stay, and they later worked things out.

The 27-year-old social media personality and entrepreneur rose to fame in part due to her relationship with rapper Lil Baby. The pair welcomed a son back in 2019 named Loyal. There’s not much information available about Jayda’s childhood, except that she graduated from high school in 2015. Jayda is also the owner of an online boutique store, AmourJayda. She has amassed a large online presence, with millions of followers, spanning across all her social media platforms.

In a new interview, Daniel Caesar revisited his 2019 controversy over his defense of personality, YesJulz. She had been accused of cultural appropriation and heavily criticized for a post she shared years earlier, rocking a t-shirt that read “N*ggas lie a lot.” Julz, who has white ancestry, eventually apologized for the post. Despite this, Daniel stood up for Julz’s behavior and threatened fans to “cancel” him. Looking back, the singer believes he had some internalized hatred of himself. He also noted that his critiques were ultimately right. “As time has passed, I’m like, ‘Oh, they were 100 percent right,’” he said. “When you accept this type of behavior from people that throughout history have exemplified to you that they hate you, and then you accept the behavior to get out of the circumstances that you’re in, it’s undignified. You’re giving up your own dignity.” NEW YORK, NEW YORK – OCTOBER 17: Daniel Caesar performs at Madison Square Garden on October 17, 2023 in New York City. (Photo by Taylor Hill/Getty Images) Daniel Caesar Says He Took ‘Accountability’ After Being ‘Canceled’ Last year, in an interview with Billboard, the Toronto-born singer recalled how “drunk and foolish” he’d been. However, he notes it only became a story because he was famous. “I was canceled for being drunk and foolish in public. But that was something I was always allowed to do. No one gave a s–t [until I started to get famous].” He added, “I’m literally my father’s son,” he continued. “My dad was the guy at sabbath lunch talking about how the government was going to put microchips in our arms. And I’m the same. If you get me riled up at a party, I’ll start talking about some crazy s–t. People roll their eyes, but that’s just the way we are.”
