Fivio Foreign recently stirred up some chatter during an appearance on Justin Laboy’s podcast when he declared that Queens has the most beautiful women in New York. The Brooklyn rapper, known for his drill music and larger-than-life personality, explained his reasoning, saying, “I think Queens does. I feel like the Queens girls are a little more put together, don’t be mad at me ladies but they come from a different texture.” He went on to mention that women from Queens often have their family and a house, which, according to him, makes them stand out compared to women from other boroughs.
Fivio’s comments quickly became a hot topic, but not for the reasons he may have hoped. While his views on Queen’s women reflect a certain appreciation, they also sparked a mix of admiration and critique, with some questioning his generalizations.
Fivio Foreign is from Brooklyn, born and raised in Fort Greene and East Flatbush. Growing up in these neighborhoods shaped his sound and hustle. Making a name in the rap game didn’t come easy, close friend and drill legend, Pop Smoke was the first to blow from their friend group showing Fivi that it was possible. Once we lost Pop in 2020, Fivio kept his name alive and made himself a name brand in the game.
Adding to the recent string of eyebrow-raising moments, the rapper also went viral for his “impeccable spelling skills.” He posted on Instagram saying, “the world is demonic,” but accidentally typed “demonique” instead. Whether trolling or genuinely misspelling, fans couldn’t help but laugh — and some even suggested Apple should refund him for spellcheck.

A TikTok clip went viral showing Hunxho’s dad driving an Uber, and people started talking. Some fans felt that, since Hunxho’s making big money with cars, jewelry, and houses, he should be taking care of his pops so he doesn’t have to work.
Hunxho came out and addressed it, saying his dad is his own man and does what he wants. He said, “My pops his own man he choose to do what he want to do, was he around? No. I was raised by all women. Do I hold dat against him? No. Still bought him what he asked for, a new Cadillac truck, way before dat old a** video came out. I don’t owe nobody nun. I take care ALL my people.”

Hunxho made it clear that he doesn’t hold any grudges against his dad, even though he wasn’t around growing up. He said he’s still been supporting his family, buying his dad a new Cadillac, and he’s not worried about what people think. Basically, he’s got love for his people, but he’s not obligated to take care of grown folks who make their own choices.
This is the first time we’re hearing anything outside of rapper Hunxho’s roller-coaster relationship with R&B legend Keyshia Cole. Recently, Keyshia bought a new ring that symbolized a broken heart, sparking rumors that the couple had broken up. Fans went wild with speculation, but just a day later, Hunxho shut down the rumors. He posted a message confirming that everything was good between them, and they’re still very much together. The back-and-forth drama had everyone guessing, but it seems like Hunxho and Keyshia are still solid, despite the internet trying to stir things up.

We are not even two weeks into 2025 and Jim Jones has already gone viral. Capo has responded to 50 Cent after the Queens rapper hinted he was an informant.
As spotted on HipHopDX the Harlem native has clapped back at 50 Cent after the G-Unit honcho took a jab at him. Earlier this week footage from Justin Laboy’s Respectfully podcast relaunch hit the internet. On this episode, Jim Jones had some choice words to say when asked about why he performed at a G-Unit show while Cam’ron and 50 Cent had Rap beef.
“Them n***as be on my d*ck,” Jim responded. “Them n***as ain’t got nothing else to think about but Capo. I did a lot for them n***as in their life, ya heard? Both of them. Pause, though. Get off my d*ck! It’s only space on there for baby girl. Come on, man. Tugging on my sh*t like that.”
Naturally, this landed on 50 Cent’s radar prompting him to respond in signature petty fashion.
On Thursday, Jan. 9 Curtis took to Instagram hinting that the “We Fly High” rapper played an informant role in the Tekashi 6ix9ne case. The post features a transcript of a conversation between Mel Matrix and Jim Jones (labeled “Individual 1”) as the two discuss how Tekashi should be reprimanded for betraying the Nine Trey Bloods set. In essence, 50 Cent is hinting that Jim Jones might have cooperated with the police since his name is in the paperwork but he was not sentenced to any jail time.
That same day Jim Jones posted a throwback photo of himself at the height of Byrd Gang era. “Why u keep on lying why u keep on lying 🤥 lol I’m goin back to sleep 😴
Free Mel matrix till it’s reversed” the caption read.
50 Cent has yet respond.

Kodak Black recently found himself at the center of rumors claiming he had converted to Islam after a picture of him praying in a Muslim-like position surfaced online. The image quickly spread, sparking speculation about his religious beliefs. However, the Florida rapper was quick to set the record straight.
He took to social media to clarify the situation, expressing his frustration with the misinformation. In his post, he stated, “NO DISRESPECT TO THE MUSLIM COMMUNITY BUT IAM HEBREW ISRAELITE I FEEL VERY DISRESPECTED BY THE BLOG AND @bollywoodsaif FOR ALLOWING THEM TO RUN WITH A NARRATIVE THAT I’VE CONVERTED TO ISLAM!!!”
Kodak explained that the photo was taken when the person who posted it, @bollywoodsaif, asked him to take a picture on a prayer rug. Making it clear that the image was not an indication of any religious conversion but simply a photo op. Yak, who identifies as a Hebrew Israelite, emphasized that his beliefs were being misrepresented. His response was aimed at both correcting the public’s perception and addressing the blog’s role in spreading the rumor. Despite the controversy, Kodak stood firm in his identity and rejected the false narrative surrounding his faith.
Fans have been worried about Black lately, especially after tweakin’ off on Kai Cenat’s stream. He’s been open about his past with drugs, and it looks like things might be getting worse. Then, he randomly showed up in Baltimore for a Ravens game to support his boy Lamar Jackson. When fans saw him, they were shocked because his eyes were wide open, and he kept screaming, “I live in Baltimore!” It had people worried because he didn’t seem like himself, and fans were scared he might be going through some tough times.
