Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz Cardi B might be in the most random Rap spat of the year. She is in a war of words with children. Page Six is reporting that the Bronx bombshell had plenty of time on Monday, September 2. That night she took to her Instagram Live and went on a profanity laden rant. “Not gonna let no little f - - king white boys come at me all motherf - - king day long. Motherf - - king shut the f - - k up and stay in your motherf - - king place. Go drink your motherf - - king milk, bitch. F - - k.” At the time it was unclear who the fierce words were meant for but the gossip site cracked the code. Apparently the “Bodak Yellow” rapper has been the target of a collective of bad ass kids by the name of ZN8tion . Two weeks ago the quadruplet of brothers released a diss track going at Bardi with bars like “They could fix your teeth, but they couldn’t fix your face.” In the accompanying video for the song the trap wannabes shoved pillows in their pants to mock her signature rump. Page Six tracked one of the members down who goes by the stage name of Hollywood. He granted them a brief interview and alleged that Cardi brought this on to herself. “We wanted to show Cardi B to not be a bully and give her a taste of her own medicine” he explained. How they exactly landed on her radar is still in question but it should be noted their Instagram account has over 143,000 followers. You can hear their trash bars below—if you care.

Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz Somebody needs to get the strap for 50 Cent . The infamous internet troll had to apologize to Megan Thee Stallion’s boyfriend Moneybagg Yo for a very lame comment he made towards his girlfriend. Fofty is already getting on people’s nerves because he changed the Power’s theme song and replaced it with a remix we didn’t ask for . Now he really played himself by talking about the Hip-Hop’s hottest artist Megan Thee Stallion. Moneybagg Yo and Thee Stallion’s relationship has been heating as of late with the couple being more open about dating. Over the weekend the “Dior” rapper shared a very tantalizing photo of the leader of “ Hot Nerd Fall ” seductively posing on a pool table with the caption “She Wit Wat3va I’m Wit.” View this post on Instagram She Wit Wat3va I’m Wit. A post shared by BIG SPEAKER (@moneybaggyo) on Aug 31, 2019 at 9:20pm PDT Fifty being the troll he is couldn’t resist the opportunity to rib his friend. He left a comment under the post stating “All kinda good looking hoes out here the pressure a break em. Lol.” He failed to clarify what he meant by the comment. But some are interpreting it as him saying there are plenty of good looking women that will make it difficult for Moneybagg to stay faithful. We doubt he has that issue at all, especially with Meghan. Moneybagg did take issue with Fif’s use of the term “hoe” in regards to Thee Stallion and replied “Yeah hoes, but she don’t fall in dat category.” The “Outta Control” rapper apologized immediately “claiming he didn’t even realize that it was Megan” in the photo and “he meant no disrespect.” View this post on Instagram Hey @moneybaggyo I looked at this picture saw your comment, and wrote that i didn’t even realize that was Megan. Misunderstanding no disrespect I’ll hit ya phone later. #lecheminduroi #bransoncognac A post shared by 50 Cent (@50cent) on Sep 3, 2019 at 12:07am PDT This should definitely serve as a lesson to the G-Unit general to be a bit more cautious while trolling. — Photo: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz
Superhero allure has grown more and more over the years. Every summer new caped crusaders tackle the big screen, with each one seemingly setting their own benchmarks for record sales. One of the most profitable superhero flicks in recent history, yes, even before the Avengers came and did their thing, was Black Panther. The first mostly black superhero adventure in the Marvel Cinematic Universe grossed nearly $1.3 billion globally, and currently sits as the 10th most lucrative big screen movie of all time. DC looks to be gearing up to capitalize off of that niche demographic as well, as reports are beginning to surface that the next Batman reboot will be the first of it’s kind. They’re going to make Batman black. At least, that’s what the reports are. Who do you think will be chosen to care on the storied tradition of Gotham’s ultimate hero? Idris Elba? Michael B. Jordan? Kevin Hart? I was just kidding about that last one. Check out the full story here and let us know what you think!

As the initial category 4 hurricane has tore through the Bahamas and is headed to the continental United States, it’s clear from the current damage that the people in these areas will need help to rebuild. The International Red Cross believes as many as 13,000 homes have been severely damaged or destroyed by Hurricane Dorian. It’s difficult to determine the true damage because it’s hard to get in contact with people on the ground so these are rough estimates. If you’re looking for resources to help some of the area affected here’s a list of organizations that are prepping to assist areas in Dorian Path: City of Miami BAHAMASTRONG The City of Miami has created 16 drop-off locations to collect donations, fire stations and some churches. The city’s commissioner is hoping a near-miss so far in Miami will mean people donate what they bought in preparation for Dorian. They’re asking for water, canned goods and baby formulas. The supplies will make it to the Bahamas on Wednesday, if weather allows. World Central Kitchen World-renowned chef José Andrés is on the ground in the Bahamas getting ready to feed the people of there. He hopes to be able to be in the impacted areas by tonight. If kitchens are destroyed, his World Central Kitchen will build a makeshift one and cook in big paella pans. World known chef, Jose Andres, just touched down to aide in preparing to feed those effected in the Bahamas. Numerous amounts of kitchens are wiped out and his World Central Kitchen will create a ‘makeshift one and cook in big paella pans’. World Central Kitchen has aided in efforts to help Hurricane Maria; millions of people have been a product of Andres and others collectively. World Central Kitchen has provided relief efforts for past storms, including in Puerto Rico for Hurricane Maria . Andrés and others collectively helped feed 3.6 million people. Humane Society of the United States The Humane Society of the United States has stepped in to help evacuate animals from animal shelters across Florida as Hurricane Dorian makes its way towards the east coast. Already, the organization has helped transport 80 animals that they hope to put up for adoption. The Humane Society of the United States decided to aide in getting animals from shelters across the Florida region as Hurricane Dorian Save The Children Save The Children said it will be working with local organizations to assist in reopening childcare and education programs in areas impacted by Hurricane Dorian. The nonprofit has provided relief for multiple storms in the past, most recently assisting more than 25,000 children and adults in the wake of 2018’s Hurricane Michael. In addition to on-the-ground support, Save The Children also provides resources ahead of storms making landfall. International Relief Teams International Relief Teams has more than 1,000 disaster health kits at the ready for residents of Florida who may be impacted by Hurricane Dorian. The organization said it has been providing “humanitarian aid, including food, medicine, and relief supplies to families worldwide since 1988.” That includes in the wake of major natural disasters. In 2017, International Relief Teams shipped more than $47,000 ready-to-eat meals to partner organizations in Victoria, Texas, in the wake of Hurricane Harvey , amounting to more than 4,600 meals. International Medical Corps International Medical Corps is assisting the Florida Department of Health with medical care in the state as it braces for Hurricane Dorian. The NGO provides “emergency services to vulnerable populations following” a storm making landfall. Its team is also working with authorities in North Carolina, a state that is predicted to sustain intense winds and substantial rainfall as Dorian makes its way up the east coast.
