(Photo by Kevin Mazur/Getty Images for Anheuser-Busch) The internet is still hype about Pusha T’s “Maybach Music VI” verse and for good reason. In a recent interview he gave more context about the viscous sixteen bars he laid for Ross. As spotted on Complex the Virginia native spoke to Joe Budden during the latest edition of The Joe Budden Podcast . Jumpoff wasted no time in getting him to discuss the memorable feature. While the “Drug Dealers Anonymous” rapper didn’t confirm he was taking shots at Drake or Lil Wayne, his answers let us know that he is still about the “if the shoe fits” life. When asked “why did you do that to this verse that’s not out?” he responded “that’s what we in it for man, we here to rap, bro”. “We all have to do what we do best, the next guy got to do what he does best,” he added. “At this stage of my career, you know, I mean… hey man, hey,” he chuckled. On the track Push had several lines that could be interpreted as bait for Drizzy or TuneChi including “What a hell of a year, true colors expose/Crowns on these clowns, it’s like you colored they nose.” Ultimately Rick Ross decided to pull his appearance from the final version of Port Of Miami 2 citing that he would like to bring Pusha and Wayne together in a more genuine manner.

(Photo by Kevin Mazur/WireImage for Rock and Roll Hall of Fame) Rappers Accused Of Rape, Murder and Domestic Violence There’s been a whole lot of conversation about what is forgivable , who gets cancelled and who gets our support when it comes to rappers accused of being trifling. What is the scale we are using to continue to support those accused, convicted, not yet convicted? Some of the following rappers didn’t even justify their wrongs and are still out here making huge bucks. So is ‘cancel culture’ being selective? Maybe they just have short memories? Maybe in a few years they will forget…. Hit the flip for a gallery of rapper accused of rape, murder and everything else foul under the sun and still thriving.

Lira Galore and Rick Ross attend BET Hip Hop Awards Grand Finale Hosted By Rick Ross+Diddy+Trey Songz at The Mansion Elan on October 11, 2015 in Atlanta, Georgia. Lira Galore Boasts About Keeping Engagement Ring From Rick Ross Lira Galore went on a clap back spree after twitter folks started to troll her over a photo where her nail was broken. The jokes flew back and forth, until she arbitrarily revealed she kept her very expensive engagement ring to a stranger. Y’all sure I’m good right ? pic.twitter.com/jeyllhehnN — Lira Mercer (@_LiraGalore) March 4, 2018 pic.twitter.com/Sx77nhlQMp — kyleigh (@kyleighhhh_) March 6, 2018 Do you think Lira sounds like she kinda misses her ex-fiance Ricky Rozay and lavish lust for each other in these tweets? Bitch don’t try me bout no $7 nail repair ..:I was in South Africa somewhere ya goin could never extend . I broke a nail wow . & it’s CHANEL , hoe . https://t.co/VZjzZcjzzP — Lira Mercer (@_LiraGalore) March 6, 2018 I had a half million dollar ring from the MMG BOSS . so there’s that on that . https://t.co/I30DwdLBUg — Lira Mercer (@_LiraGalore) March 6, 2018 Wow STILL got my ring lmao you so angry piece-y . https://t.co/S8xz9PKCEJ — Lira Mercer (@_LiraGalore) March 6, 2018 The ring that Ross bought for Lira back in 2015 was reportedly worth $350,000, not a half million but, close enough. Since their messy breakup , Lira swore to shake off her old ways on TV with Iyanla, to not attract relationships like the one they had. She claimed he didn’t respect her while they were together. On another, lookslike Lira was also shooting her shot at Dave East on her timeline… Jus fine.. for no reason https://t.co/PqiBACCPhx — Lira Mercer (@_LiraGalore) March 5, 2018 Seems she’s just bringing up her ring to make folks feel “poor”, and not because she cares about her Ex. So much for growth, right?
No Charges Filed In Ulysses Wilkerson Case The family of an Alabama teen is reeling after a grand jury made a damning decision. As previously reported Ulysses Wilkerson, 17, was beaten bloody by Troy Police department authorities and his parents demanded answers. Wilkerson reportedly fled from police during a foot-chase and police admitted to using “physical force to subdude the teen” on December 23 after Wilkerson reportedly reached for his waistband. Now the four police officers who were investigated for their role in the encounter will not face criminal charges. AL.com reports that Circuit 4 District Attorney Michael Jackson and retired Tuscaloosa District Attorney Tommy Smith were appointed as special prosecutors to handle the case, which was investigated by the State Bureau of Investigation. Jackson told AL.com Thursday that a grand jury met this week in Pike County and declined to issue indictments against the Troy officers. “The grand jury determined they acted properly in their official capacity and no crime was committed,” Jackson said. “If they had found differently, we would have gone forward with the case.” This is extremely sad and unfortinately unsurpising. What makes it even more frustrating is that the NAACP was calling for the release of body cam footage that reportedly shows exactly what happened in this case. It looks like we may never get to see it…
