Belcalis dropped her track “Money” today, her first solo release since her “Invasion of Privacy” album. The track is exaaaactly what it sounds like, about money with lines like; “There’s “nothing in the world I like more than checks.” As previously reported it is NOT a Nicki Minaj diss track, and the only semi-hinting towards their beef is a mention about bringing “brass knuckles to the scuffle.” “All y’all b**ches in trouble, Bring brass knuckles to the scuffle,” she raps. “I heard that Cardi went pop. Yeah, I did go pop. That’s me busting they bubble.” Listen to “Money” below. Hate it or love it?!
FREDERIC J. BROWN/AFP/Getty Images Her Family Releases A Statement Detailing The Incident On Monday night, a University of Utah student was shot and killed allegedly by an ex who lied about his criminal past. Lauren McCluskey , an accomplished track-and-field athlete, was found dead in a parked car near a campus residential hall, according to ESPN . Mark Harlan, the University of Utah director of athletics, released a statement on Twitter about McCluskey’s death. “This news has shaken not only myself but our entire University of Utah athletics family to its core,” he said. “We have university counselors and psychologists on standby to support Lauren’s teammates, coaches and friends. Our thoughts and prayers go out to her family and all of those dear to her.” McCluskey’s killer was suspected to be Melvin Rowland, who was found dead in a church in Salt Lake City on Tuesday from a self-inflicted gun wound, according to a KUTV reporter . According to KUTV , McCluskey’s parents released a statement sharing the details around their daughter’s death. According to them, Rowland was an ex-boyfriend who harassed McCluskey after she found out about his criminal past: “He lied to her about his name, his age and his criminal history,” the family statement read. “Lauren was informed by a friend about his criminal history, and she ended the relationship with her killer on Oct. 9, 2018. He had borrowed her car, and she requested for the University of Utah police accompany her on Oct. 10, 2018 to get the car back. She blocked his and his friends’ phone numbers and complained to University of Utah police that she was being harassed. Last night a little before 9 p.m., she was returning to her university apartment from her night class and talking to me on the phone. Suddenly, I heard her yell, “No, no, no!” I thought she might have been in a car accident. That was the last I heard from her. My husband called 911. I kept the line open and in a few minutes, a young woman picked up the phone and said all of Lauren’s things were on the ground.” According to ESPN , Rowland was a registered sex offender, who was convicted of forcible sexual abuse and enticing a minor. The school decided to honor McCluskey by canceling morning and evening classes on Tuesday. A vigil is also scheduled for Wednesday planned by The Associated Students of the University of Utah and the Athletics Department.

Fabolous and girlfriend Emily B were seen leaving the Think Like A Man 2 Premiere at the SVA Theatre for the American Black Film Festival Picture by: SplashNews.com Rapper Offered Plea Deal For Allegedly Abusing Reality Starlet Emily B Fabolous has denied charges that he beat up and threatened reality TV gal pal Emily B – and prosecutors said they’re ready to make a deal with the star. The “Throw It In The Bag” rapper pled not guilty Monday to four felony charges stemming from two separate incidents where prosecutors said he abused and threatened his gal pal. The Brooklyn rapper appeared in Bergen County Superior Court Monday with his lawyer for an arraignment to officially respond to the case, which could put him behind bars for more than 20 years if he’s convicted on all charges. Fabulous didn’t speak during the three-minute hearing, and his lawyer Brian Neary entered a “not guilty” plea on his behalf. Neary said a prosecutor has reached out to him on a possible plea agreement, where Fab would plea to one count of felony brandishing and threatening a domestic violence victim with scissors. The deal stipulates that Fab wouldn’t get any jail time. Prosecutors accused Fab, whose real name is John Jackson, of punching Emily’s teeth out during an ugly argument back in March, according to his indictment, which was obtained by BOSSIP. A few weeks later, the county’s top cops said he threatened to shoot Emily and her father and also brandished a pair of scissors at them, again threatening to harm them. The news comes after Fab and Emily reportedly married in a simple ceremony New Jersey last week, according to a report from the Hip Hop Enquirer. It’s not clear what type of punishment Fab would get if he took the deal. The judge said he’s not eligible for Pre Trial Intervention, which would likely consist of at least six months of domestic violence prevention classes. Neary asked for more time to go over the deal with Fab, and the men are supposed to appear back in court in December.
