Rapper Megan Thee Stallion gifted Black girls and minimally problematic Whites a way of life this past season: “Hot Girl Summer.” Women were living their best wild, free and mostly single lives, doing what they wanted to do, not prioritizing the feelings of men over their own. Aside from the corporation co-opts and the disagreements it caused between married and single women, it was beautiful. Still, when Megan got into—what we thought was a bona fide relationship with fellow rapper MoneyBagg Yo , people wondered if she was something like a hypocrite, encouraging women to flip the bird to men while simultaneously having a boyfriend. That’s a discussion for another day, but it did happen. Text “RICKEY” to 71007 to join the Rickey Smiley Morning Show mobile club for exclusive news. ( Terms and conditions ). The two seemed to be happy with one another. Megan gifted him a $150k half heart pendant necklace for his 28th birthday just last month. The two co-starred in a video together. He nobly defended her against 50 Cent’s infamous trolling. And in mid-July there was the obligatory Instagram post announcing their relationship. But it’s since been deleted. Now that it’s the fall and cuffing season is upon us—the time when people want to be snuggled up, Megan and MoneyBagg Yo have seemingly called it quits. But the circumstances of their breakup and whether the relationship was real in the first place have been called into question. It began with this series of tweets from Megan. I don’t even chase liquor why would I chase a nigga — HOT GIRL MEG (@theestallion) October 25, 2019 Normally, we would have taken that as typical rap bravado. But in conjunction with the rumor mill, it started to seem like the messages were targeted. Later, reports claimed that MoneyBagg Yo had impregnated a stripper.

The G-Unit mogul sat with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other members of Congress to address the issue of diversity in the entertainment world. The Hill reports that the artist born Curtis Jackson was in Washington on Wednesday (October 30) to discuss representation and diversity issues. The outlet also adds that Fif was also there to lobby on behalf of the Starz network to remain on Comcast/Xfinity’s service, which airs his popular Power series. It appears that 50 Cent has some support from lawmakers as Rep. Bobby Rush tweeted out support for Power and Starz, while also saluting Fif and actress Naturi Naughton, who joined in the Washington visit. The results of the meeting aren’t readily available but in a photo alongside Speaker Pelosi, Fif promised, “Big Changes Coming.” View this post on Instagram My #1 Lady Nancy Pelosi – Big Changes Coming A post shared by 50 Cent (@50cent) on Oct 30, 2019 at 3:31pm PDT Hate it or love it, shows like #Power matter b/c #RepresentationMatters .

WPLG Local 10 News is reporting that he got into a brawl with another inmate. In an effort to diffuse the situation a guard intervened but ended up getting injured in the process. The station is claiming that the correctional facility employee was kicked in the groin. While the injury does not seem too gruesome on paper the person in question had to be rushed to hospital to undergo surgery. The “No Flockin” rapper was caught with weapons in March which he plead guilty to. He is waiting for sentencing which is scheduled for November 13. Kodak could face eight years if the judge hits him with the maximum. View this post on Instagram The Streets Thin Na Cuz Everybody Gettin Hung ..
