Source: Santiago Felipe / Getty YG Teases A Sequel To “FDT” Is Coming Soon In case you were wondering, it’s still f*** Donald Trump season, and YG has a plan to help everyone to keep that energy alive. The Bompton rapper took to Twitter to make an unexpected announcement, letting fans know that a sequel to his anthem “FDT” is “BOMING SOON.” FUCK DONALD TRUMP 2 BOMING SOON — STAY DANGEROUS (@YG) January 15, 2019 No word on how soon we’ll actually get this highly-anticipated follow-up, but Donald Trump surely won’t be short of material to make fun of on a track anytime in the near future. Beside the initial release of the song–which caused protests at some of his shows by Trump supporters–the rapper previously released a remix featuring G-Eazy and Macklemore. It’s pretty easy to assume that YG will have a lot more to say about the Cheeto-in-Chief in this updated sequel–especially since the first two versions of the track came out before Donald Trump was even elected president. Anything from the border wall to the longest government shutdown in American history is fair game, so it would’t really be surprising if YG came out with a 45 minute track on everything wrong with this y’alls lil president. Place your bets now, people: which will come first…the sequel to “FDT” or Donald Trump re-opening the government? Guess we’ll have to wait and see.
The more things change, the more they stay the same apparently. Are yall gonna be running to the Apple store to buy something that your phone can already do? Via | HotNewHipHop Can they compete with smartphones though? Apple isn’t satisfied with selling people $1,000 cell phones. The company began its domination of handheld devices with the iPod, and the tech geniuses over at Macotakara , via Gizmodo , believe Apple will be revamping the device in 2019. In the early 2000’s, MP3 devices became the new cool way to listen to music. CD sales plummeted as millions around the world began downloading music. The creation of the MP3 and streaming steered the music industry down the digital path, and soon after, services like Spotify and Apple Music were created. READ MORE
Hailey Baldwin is married to Justin and cannot wait to pop out a bunch of Bieber babies . She’s not the only one excited about her new marriage. Justin’s mom, Pattie, shared a selfie to show how over the moon she is about her new daughter-in-law. Pattie Mallette, mother of Justin Bieber, shared this sweet and cozy selfie with Hailey Baldwin, wife of Justin Bieber. “What a gift,” Pattie captioned this cozy pic with her daughter-in-law. She followed those words with a heart eyes emoji. In the photo, Hailey appears to be planting a delicate kiss on Pattie’s cheek. Hailey herself commented under the Instagram post. “Love you,” she wrote. Awww! Justin and Hailey married late last year, but were private about it — though they of course knew that it was not a secret. People reports that they’re planning an actual wedding ceremony … but some of the details are still up in the air. “They’ve been figuring out the perfect time to do it,” the insider says. “And they both feel like the sooner, the better.” If you’re looking forward to some sort of heavily tattooed version of the Royal Wedding, think again. They don’t know the details, but what they’re planning will be small and intimate, for family and friends. “They’re still figuring it out,” the source notes. Not all of Justin’s choices have been every mother’s fondest wish. That goes for one of his very recent decisions, too. Justin Bieber now has a face tattoo. In cursive (making it unreadable to people who weren’t forced to learn that archaic script), his tattoo says “grace.” As far as facial tattoos go, this one doesn’t sound too bad. It’s along the ridge of his eyebrow and is fairly subtle. And since we’re talking about the Biebs, it’s not like he needs to worry about not getting hired over the tat. Grace can have a number of meanings, but in this context, it is undoubtedly rooted in Justin’s Christian faith. Being devout Christians is one of the things that Justin and Hailey have in common. After they renewed their romance in the summer of 2018, Justin was seen taking Hailey on what have been characterized as “church dates.” In 2017, Justin felt a religious calling to cancel his tour early. He has been working harder and harder to devote himself to his beliefs. Grace is not the only tattoo of his that is rooted in Christianity. Faith is one of the things that make Hailey such a good match for Justin his his mother’s eyes, too. Justin’s outspoken religiousity may have waxed and waned before recent years, but he got his beliefs from his mother. Pattie has been known to post what we would characterize as “End Times materials” on social media. Hailey also inherited some Christian views from her father, Stephen Baldwin. Unlike her dad, however, Hailey is not a Trump-supporter, and believes that her faith mandates that she love people rather than despise them. Justin and Hailey’s marriage was controversial in part because some perceived it to be a rebound relationship. Justin had just split with his other ex, Selena Gomez, before he and Hailey started being spotted together everywhere. But people should remember that Justin and Hailey have years of history together,a nd that not all of that history was public knowledge. So his proposal after just a few weeks was a surprise, but not totally shocking. They’re both young, hot, and have a lot in common. It’s no wonder that Pattie approves.

He's known this day was coming for several months, but it seems all that mental preparation didn't make it any easier for Mike Sorrentino to report to prison on Tuesday morning. As you may recall, The Situation pled guilty to tax fraud back in January of 2018 after investigators accused him of failing to pay taxes on more than $9 million in earnings. The Jersey Shore star had hoped to avoid jail time through a plea deal, but in October, Sorrentino was sentenced to 8 months behind bars. Earlier this week, the Sitch reported to prison to begin doing his time. But first, he sent a final message to his millions of social media followers — many of whom bombarded him with questions about what he's expecting from life on the inside. Here's what we know so far about Mike's first day in the big house: 1. Sad Situation Prior to his latest legal entanglements, Mike Sorrentino’s life was on the upswing. 2. Turning It Around After years of reckless living, Mike got sober, reconnected with his college sweetheart, Lauren Pesce, and returned to TV thanks to Jersey Shore: Family Vacation. 3. Too Little, Too Late Sadly, Mike’s past has caught up with him, and his misdeeds have now cost him his freedom. 4. Facing the Music In January of 2018, Mike pled guilty to tax fraud after an investigation revealed that he had failed to pay taxes on more than $9 million in earnings. 5. Making Things Right The year that followed was probably the most eventful and productive of Mike’s life. 6. Making Up For Lost Time He proposed and got married to Pesce, filmed two seasons of Shore, and continued to volunteer at rehab facilities and sober living houses. View Slideshow

Source: Gregg DeGuire / Getty Nipsey Hussle decided to finally set the record straight about his relationship to Lauren London. He’s saying they aren’t engaged…even though they allegedly just did an engagement photo shoot and we’ve heard him refer to her as his wife before. Hmmm I’m not sure I’m buying this one… via: TheYBF TMZ reported people from the GQ production team spilled tea that Nipsey and Lauren are already engaged, but they want to keep it underwraps. It’s reported the photos the couple snapped on Saturday were “definitely engagement photos .” Well, Nispey says otherwise. (Lauren said a few weeks ago as well they’re not engaged when a post of hers sparked confusion.) He hopped on Twitter to announce there’s no wedding bells (at least not yet) READ MORE
Source: Johnny Nunez / Getty Joe Budden has long since been retired from torching microphones as a rapper, and now presides over one of the most popular podcasts online today. On that said podcast, Budden once again said that he’d welcome a challenge from CyHi the Pyrnce and said he would end the G.O.O.D. Music artist’s career in the process. The beef between CyHi the Prynce and Joe Budden began when the podcast host took shots at the Atlanta rapper over his allegiance to Kanye West’s Summer 2018 album rollout that he was curiously missing from. Budden then egged on the beef in saying that a line CyHi spit in a promotional video that suggested that he should have been in Budden’s former Slaughterhouse crew and putting up $500,000 to challenge his rival was out of the No Dope On Sundays rapper’s budget. In last Saturday’s episode of The Joe Budden Podcast , Jumpoff Joey took off the Media Joe hat and got into his rapper bag for a bit, stating quite explicitly that CyHi doesn’t want the smoke, the beef, or the fixings with him on any level. In his response to co-host Mal suggesting that Budden might be ducking CyHi, Budden said he would shut down the podcast and get back in the booth to end the beef once and for all. Check out The Joe Budden Podcast in where Budden gets into why CyHi the Prynce isn’t ready for the smoke with him. Hit the 53:00-minute mark and let it rock. — Photo: Getty
Source: Jerod Harris/Getty Images / Getty Vince Staples Talks Lifelong Sobriety While the average rapper is out here xan’ed up and leaned out… Vince Staples is among the rare young artists who is completely passing on the liquor and drugs. The Compton rapper spoke about his sobriety in a new GQ article about drug-free musicians, and revealed that he’s been sober his entire life. That’s right…he’s never popped a pill, hit a blunt, sipped on lean or even had a single drop to drink. “It’s not something that I honestly ever think about. I just never wanted to. I’m not the kind of person that will do something that I don’t want to do.” While it seems like something inconsequential to him — he’s just plain not interested in alcohol or drugs — he gets why it’s some grand shocking revelation to most people that take one look at him as a young Black rapper from Compton and make assumptions: “They don’t expect this from a young black musician my age from where I come from. Like, how could you end up being in the ghetto, went through this, went through that, and not experienced drugs, not experienced alcohol?” However, he admits that the very same things about him that would make people assume he’d partake in recreational drug use are the exact reasons he has no interest: “When you’re surrounded with death and dismay and poverty and all these things that happen every day, I didn’t have time to worry about using or partaking in certain things. People where I come from don’t use drugs in a recreational sense. We’re not at a party, or at the rock show, or at the rap show, doing lines in the bathroom. Where I come from, life comes day after day after day, and people use these things to cope.” He says the immediate threats of death and violence in his life superseded any interest he could have ever had in spending the day chasing a high. “When you have to think about your next 15 minutes—you have to think about the walk to the store, you have to think about how you’re getting to school, you have to think about the bus ride home, you have to think about how you’re going to sneak a gun into the football game—the last thing I was thinking about was getting high.” Good for him for staying true to his inclinations and not falling into the industry BS of drug consumption.

Source: Axelle/Bauer-Griffin / Getty After it was announced that Lady Gaga and Angelina Jolie have reportedly been competing for the role of Cleopatra in the Egyptian Queen’s upcoming biopic, all hell broke loose on the innanets. The question plaguing folks’ minds?…Why isn’t Cleopatra being played by a woman with some melanin? After all, there is some evidence pointing to the fact that she could have been biracial . Once the debate began, Twitter’s best Egyptologists broke out their history books, with some claiming that it was more likely Cleopatra was of fully Grecian decent, while others brought out evidence pointing to the fact that Cleopatra’s mom was African. “It has been suggested–although generally not by credible scholarly sources–that Cleopatra was racially black African. To be blunt,there is absolutely no evidence for this,yet it is one of those issues that seems to take on a life of its own despite all indication to the contrary,” @elmalquerer tweeted. “The best evidence is that she was three-quarters Macedonian Greek and one-quarter Egyptian. There is no room for anything else, certainly not for any black African blood.” Source: John Rainford/WENN / WENN Another Twitter scholar tweeted some knowledge about a skeleton believed to be Cleopatra’s sister, bringing up the argument that it’s quite possible the Queen had some African blood. “In 2009, a team of archaeologists found the remains of a woman they believed to be Princess Arsinoe, Cleopatra’s sister. The researchers believe Arsinoe’s remains, found in Ephesus, Turkey, indicate that her mother (also likely Cleopatra’s) was African,” @a mnimal_lb tweeted. “’That Arsinoe had an African mother is a real sensation which leads to a new insight on Cleopatra ’s family and the relationship of the sisters Cleopatra and Arsinoe ,’ Hilke Thuer of the Austrian Academy of Sciences, who made the discovery, said at the time.” With all the possibilities that she was mixed with this or that, Cleopatra probably didn’t look like Gaga or Angelina Jolie…and someone with some color could be more historically accurate. See what else people had to say on the viral topic below and let us know if you’re down for a new Cleopatra biopic. “saw some tweets talking about a Cleopatra movie (I assume Cleopatra VII) and if you’re worried about accuracy she should probably be played by an Eastern Mediterranean performer, no?” – @kylegodbey “If you ever saw Angelina Jolie play Olympias in the movie Alexander then you’ll know why she’d be the perfect choice to play Cleopatra . And that’s that on that.” – @VCHEUBA “Can we just not make another adaption of cleopatra” – @AmburgerBear
