Sofi Green Remixes Saweetie’s “So Icy” Source: @yesimdebbie/Ramon Butler / @yesimdebbie As a rising artist, you must protect your art at all times.

Check out this new short video from Sofi Green as she freestyles over Saweetie ‘s “So Icy” beat. Continue reading →
Did Dancing with the Stars deliver another shocking twist to close out Season 27? In a season that has been filled with controversy, with fans ruling it a popularity contest as opposed to a dancing competition, there have already been some headscratchers. From the surprise elimination of Tinashe early into the season to last week’s stunning elimination of Juan Pablo Di Pace on the same night he landed two perfect scores, we think it’s fair to say fans are less than impressed with the series. Hey, that’s not to say we still think Milo Manheim, Alexis Ren, Bobby Bones, and Evanna Lynch could even be ruled as celebrities. To the casual viewer, this season probably feels like a civilian edition, and we can’t blame them. But how did those final routines pan out and did they even matter when it came to the final vote? Let’s break them down one last time! Alexis Ren and Alan Bersten — Argentine Tango 27/30; Freestyle: 30/30 It was clear from the first week of the competition that there was a lot going for both Alexis and Alan. They had the chemistry sorted and later embarked on a relationship. Their Argentine Tango was not without flaws, and it was a misstep for this otherwise solid pair. Thankfully, they pulled it back with a rock-solid freestyle that showed why viewers are voting for them: They’re both flexible as hell! Bobby Bones and Sharna Burgess — Cha-Cha: 24/30; Freestyle: 30/30 Bobby has come across as a mere novelty act. The radio personality has charisma for days, but he’s been lacking as far as dancing ability goes. It’s surprising he lasted this long in the competition. His Cha-Cha with Sharna was much of the same, but the Freestyle definitely kicked things up a few gears. Where has that level of dancing been all season long? It did seem like it was too little, too late, but we still had the results to go. Milo Manheim and Witney Carson — Charleston: 30/30; F reestyle : 30/30 Next to Juan Pablo, Milo seemed like the next best thing. He and Witney have been pulling in high scores all season long, and the pair secured another two perfect scores. They perform well together and are confident. Whoever put them together at the start of the season knew they would make for a powerful duo. Evanna Lynch and Keo Motsepe — Halloween Night tango: 30/30; Freestyle: 30/30 Evanna started the season off in the middle of the pack, but she quickly adapted, and got her confidence back as the season progressed. Pulling off two perfect scores in one night is difficult, but it shows just how far she’s come since that first week. After all of those performances, there was still room for Grocery Store Joe to show up with some of his Bachelorette alumni to prove why he should have been kicked out in the first week. Seriously though, who the heck was voting for that dude? In the end, Bobby Bones and Sharna Burgess secured the Mirrorball Trophy, and yes, it’s got to be one of the biggest twists to rock the series. It’s high time the dancing had a higher weighting on the results because the viewer vote is starting to ruin the show. Will there be changes implemented? Time till tell. In the meantime, congratulations Bobby and Sharna! What are your thoughts on the finale? Hit the comments below! View Slideshow: Dancing with the Stars: The Odds are Out! Who Will Win?

ATLANTA, GA – APRIL 10: Rapper T.I. attends A Black Tie Celebration & Toast to David Banner Presented by Hennesy VSOP at The Regent Cocktail Club on April 10, 2018 in Atlanta, Georgia. (Photo by Paras Griffin/Getty Images) Aydin & Co. Accused T.I. Of Finessing Them Out Of Pricey Bling T.I. is apparently so confident that his ex-jeweler’s lawsuit accusing him of shadily swiping more than $775,000 in bling is bogus, he’s asked a judge to rule on it before it even sees the inside of a courtroom. Jeweler to the stars Aydin & Co sued T.I. in 2015 for breach of contract for allegedly blowing off their oral agreement, and said he owed some $775,000 for bling he never paid for. T.I. has denied owing any money to the jewelers and said that even if he did, the case was barred by the statute of limitations. He’s asked a judge to issue a ruling in his favor ASAP and filed a motion for summary judgment May 18. He now wants the judge to rule in his favor based on the facts already presented in the case and without the suit actually going to trial. The “Big S**t Poppin” rapper also said that he was the victim of a robbery in 2016 , where more than $700,000 in jewelry was stolen. Aydin & Co believes that the stolen jewels were the ones they are now suing over, and they’ve also filed a motion to have a judge force T.I. to deposit any insurance money he may have received from the jewelry with the court. The jewelry company said between 2004 and 2012, it sold T.I. hundreds of thousands worth of bling, including $9,500 diamond hoop earrings, a 48-carat diamond chain, two $10,000 custom-made dog tags, a $24,500 women’s diamond bracelet, a $30,000 blue diamond watch, and a $13,500 men’s wedding band. Aydin & Co. said T.I. had an open account with the company, and had been making payments until he suddenly stopped in 2013. Company owner Fevzi Aydin said he tried reaching out to T.I.for payment, but to no avail, and that’s when he filed the lawsuit. Both legal requests will be heard later this summer when both T.I. and the jeweler are due back in court on the case.

The nerve, the audacity … Drake Disses Kanye West And Pusha T In New Freestyle Looks like it’s going to be an interesting summer between OVO and G.O.O.D. Music. It all got started when P usha released his album DAYTONA on Thursday night/Friday morning, and everyone got an earful of his track ‘Infrared.’ On it, he throws some pretty deliberate shots at both Drake and Baby. He basically attributes Drake’s rise to Trump’s election — both with outside help. Trump from Russians, and Drake from ghostwriter Quentin Miller. The game’s f*cked up N*ggas beats is bangin’, n*gga, ya hooks did it The lyric pennin’ equal the Trumps winnin’ The bigger question is how the Russians did it It was written like Nas but it came from Quentin Now, Pusha T has been casting light shade at Drake for years , but Aubrey had never seemed too interested in responding. But seeing as how he was just in Wyoming helping Kanye with his latest projects just a few short weeks ago…meanwhile, Kanye was putting a spitshine on tracks like this for Pusha…needless to say, Drake was a little offended. So, he clapped back with “Duppy Freestyle” and let everything off his chest at once. To which Pusha responded: Send the invoice for the extra 20… https://t.co/41rd4OJeMF — King Push (@PUSHA_T) May 25, 2018 Referencing Drake’s own lyrics. Sheesh…that was pretty aggressive on Drake’s part. Do you think Pusha will hop right back in with a response? Who do you think is “winning” this beef so far? Getty/Twitter
