Here, he breaks down his most iconic tracks for GQ magazine…though it seems that he kind of glazed over several years of his own solo work. Pascal Le Segretain/Getty Images

Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic Hate it or love it?! Blac Chyna Speaks On Her Rap Career With The Daily Mail After already telling DailyMailTV that she has zero regrets about her Rob Kardashian coupledom , Blac Chyna’s speaking on her potential rap career. The British publication’s dropped another tidbit from their interview with the reality star and in it, she’s speaking on a possible future spitting 16 bars. According to Chy, she’s earned her fame from hard work, not from the Kardashians considering she was already famous before she hooked up with Rob K. According to Chyna her success could be credited to herself and even Drake but NOT the Calabasas kickin’ it family. “I already was [a celebrity], even back in D.C., I took over that, went to Miami and I was a celebrity down there. Came to LA, same thing. I kind of ran all three states and I’m actually kind of proud of that.” SAF /SplashNews.com Chyna’s semi-correct here, she already had some clout from dating Tyga and for that Drake line; “Call up King of Diamonds and tell Chyna it’d be worth the flight” but her status shot up when she “fell in love” with Robby Rob. She also revealed to the publication that after that 2010 shoutout from Drake she “started doing all the music videos and the magazines” and eventually met Tyga. Now that Chy’s a certified star, she told DailyMailTV that she’s serious about starting a music career and has a small studio in her home. Not only that, she thinks it’d be super fitting to work with Drizzy considering his help with her career. “I’ve been working on some music,” said Chyna.” I never been the type of person to really coast. I just want to test all my boundaries to see if I can actually kind of do it. ‘My music is actually kind of fire. I have a little bit of singing, a little bit of rapping and I have a little love song.’ She added: ‘We are just testing it out right now. I’m not about to throw myself out there. [I want to] make sure everything is in line.’ SURE THING, SIS. Do you want to hear a Blac Chyna album???

Robert Kamau/GC Images/Getty/ Theo Wargo/Getty Images for Billboard Cardi B Covers W Magazine Cover girl Cardi is covering W Magazine’s Art Issue and speaking on her whirlwind year. After releasing “Bodak Yellow” in June 2017, Cardi shot up the music charts, married Offset, conceived a child, revealed a pregnancy, released an album and gave birth. Now according to W, in between mothering baby Kulture at her grandparent’s house where they interviewed her, she’s speaking out on that Nicki Minaj fight. The 25-year-old told W that she’s c ertain Onika liked and unliked a tweet questioning her mothering skills even though she’s denied doing so. Furthermore, for all the people claiming that the Fashion Week party wasn’t the proper place to confront Nicki, Cardi says she’ll never catch her in a more meager setting like your local grocery store. “For a while now she’s been taking a lot of shots at me. I spoke to her twice before, and we came to an understanding,” said Cardi. But she kept it going.” I was going to make millions off my Bruno Mars tour, and I sacrificed that to stay with my daughter. I love my daughter. I’m a good-ass f*cking mom. So for somebody that don’t have a child to like that comment? So many people want to say that party wasn’t the time or the place, but I’m not going to catch another artist in the grocery store or down the block.” She has a point, where else would she catch Nicki without the glare of the public eye? They don’t run in the same circles. Mind you, they’ll be in the same room for the first time since their showdown at tonight’s American Music Awards. Round 2, anyone? She also spoke on Offset an expressed her disappointment with alwaaaaays hearing cheating rumors about her Migos man. “Every single day there’s rumors about me and my dude,” said Cardi. “And it almost drives me crazy, because I start to believe them. I don’t have no proof. I don’t have receipts. But I just got to know my man. We practically on the phone 24 hours a day. If I can’t find him, I’m going to find his friend. Somebody going to answer the phone. But I cannot be feeling insecure, to a point that I would drive my dude away, because these people want that to happen.” For her cover shoot photographed by Mickalene Thomas, she channeled old-school Latina glamour queens including Maria Montez, Chelo Alonso, and Rita Moreno. Que Bonita. See more W Magazine Cardi on the flip.

Welp, rough news for fans of Fox’s Lethal Weapon action-comedy series . Damon Wayans has just abruptly announced that he plans on quitting the show at the end of filming this season. The news came as a relative surprise during his recent interview with Eurweb . The comedic actor claimed that as a 58-year-old man suffering from diabetes, the grueling shooting schedule had simply gotten to be too much for him. This is a shock for fans (and it seems, perhaps for the network…), who have already had to adjust to severe shake-ups on the show this year. Wayans’ co-star Clayne Crawford bowed out for season 3, replaced instead by Seann William Scott (“American Pie”). Now, with Wayans making an exit as well, there’s no telling what direction the show will go in. Do you watch? What do you think of this shakeup? Getty/Vimeo
Tyson Beckford Comes For Kim Kardashian Once Again Tyson Beckford REALLY has a personal problem with Kim Kardashian. If you’ll recall, Tyson came for Kimmy’s surgery cakes on IG a few months back…prompting the reality star to stick it back to him with a pointedly placed “sis.” The dust settled on that for the most part, with only a slight mention of it from hubby Kanye last week during his “keep my wife’s name out your mouth” underpass rant . Well now, it looks like Tyson is completely skedaddling right around whatever “deal with me as a man” stuff Kanye was talking about and getting started with Kim YET AGAIN…this time with a pretty lewd emoji attack. He took the most recent selfie post Kim put up, sticking out her tongue seductively: And placed his own emoji avatar on it sticking its…*ahem*…eggplant in her open mouth, with the caption “Meanwhile, she over there doing this.” Sheesh! This seems a bit…harsh, especially since Kim was just living life and minding her business as far as we all know. We don’t know what Tyson’s problem is with Kim specifically, but he clearly has a lot of animosity on his chest for the reality star and eagerly wants to pick another online fight with her. Maybe he’s still salty over that “sis” comment from last time… Prince Williams/WireImage/SplashNews/Getty/Instagram
