The Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, Md. collapsed early Tuesday morning (March 26) after a cargo ship hit a support column. Several videos of the collapse made their way onto social media channels and rescuers were reportedly searching for nearly two dozen survivors.
Local outlet The Baltimore Sun reports that a container ship traveling in the area struck one of the Francis Scott Key Bridge’s support columns which snapped the bridge in pieces and plunged around seven cars into the Patapsco River. Maryland Gov. Wes Moore has declared a state of emergency.
The ship, known as Dali, struck the bridge around 1:20 AM local time and a search and rescue operation went underway immediately. Authorities say they were looking for at least seven missing individuals.
While a cause for the accident has yet to be determined or confirmed, U.S. Sen. Ben Cardin told the outlet that the cargo ship may have lost power thus cutting off its steering capabilities.
“What’s been indicated is the vessel lost power, and when you lose power you lose steering,” Sen. Cardin said. “But they’re doing a full investigation.”
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is slated to investigate the accident according to U.S. Sen. Chris Van Hollen, who also echoed Sen. Cardin’s suggestion that the ship lost power.
Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott spoke at a news conference regarding the tragedy, saying, “This is a tragedy that you could never imagine…It looked like something out of an action movie.”
Traffic in the region has been rerouted and the outlet adds that the 1.6-mile steel bridge is a main portion of Interstate 695 and one of Baltimore’s three toll crossings. The bridge carried over 12.4 million commercial and passenger vehicles last year signaling that it is a major thoroughfare.
As updates come in, we will update this report.

Over the weekend the Hip-Hop world was so preoccupied with talk of Kendrick Lamar’s darts at Drake and J. Cole that they basically overlooked the fact that Big Sean dropped off some new work and continued to make the case that his name should be mentioned when talking about “the big three” before him.
In his latest visuals to “Precision,” Big Sean hops out of a cryogenic chamber of sorts and getting himself some tailormade attire to style and profile in but not before showing off his chiseled physique which is sure to drive his female fanbase crazy. Ariana Grande somewhere probably rethinking their breakup now. Just sayin.’
Fabolous meanwhile keeps on dropping off new work himself and for his latest clip to “Paradise,” the Brooklyn OG hits up the studio to lay down his verses before taking to the friendly skies to continue his international tour and showing the world how we do in the most thorough of boroughs.
Check out the rest of today’s drops and some joints you might’ve missed over the weekend including work from T.F, Trizz, Dusty Locane, and more.

Brother Love’s name continued to get dragged for filth. The “No Diddy” trend continues to gain popularity and 50 Cent has hopped on the bandwagon.
HipHopDX is reporting that the new way to nullify any statements that could be interpreted as a homosexual act (Ed. Note: Not that there’s anything wrong with that if that’s your preference.) is catching on. Last week the term “No Diddy” was informally introduced during a recent interview with DJ Akademiks and Quilly on the Off The Record podcast. “I put him in position, no Diddy” the rapper said. While the two discussed a variety of topics it was that quip that quickly went viral. A post on X, formerly known as Twitter, by user BNYX quickly gained traction and eventually landed on 50 Cent’s radar.
On Saturday, March 23 the “Candy Shop” rapper took to Instagram to tease the mogul. “Oh, I fvck wit son that’s my man No Diddy. I’ll Boom you right Now! Fvck outta here! LOL” he wrote. The trend was also discussed on the It Is What It Is show when MA$E asked Cam’ron and Treasure “Stat Baby” Wilson about it. “How did y’all feel about the weekend? They changed the term for ‘pause’” he said. Killa responded and revealed he had heard about the new phrase prior but was reluctant to bring it up as he didn’t want MA$E to feel it was direct shot at him given his storied tenure at Bad Boy Entertainment.
“I was wondering how you felt about that,” Cam’ron said. “You know why, ’cause I knew that last week and I was like, ‘I’m not gon’ be first.’ I said, ‘This is really a Betha call. ’Cause I didn’t want you to think I was coming at you, pause, no type of way. If I said it first, I didn’t want you to think I was trying to offend you. I ain’t trying to be funny but that’s what’s going on out there. How do you feel about it?” The “Feels So Good” MC responded asking if the new term sounds as catchy as the original to which Killa said yes.
You can see their interaction below starting at the 1:45 minute mark below.

It’s been decades since we’ve gotten a respectable sequel to the classic Alien franchise, and while it was all downhill after Aliens, fans still hold the film series in high regard.

So naturally fans of the murderous Xenomorph extraterrestrial got their hopes up yesterday (March 20), when we got our first teaser trailer to the upcoming Alien: Romulus. Starring Cailee Spaeny and David Johnson as space travelers who happened upon a space station that’s been overtaken by the dreaded face huggers who “impregnate” victims with the evil lifeforms, the teaser trailer sets up an intense atmosphere akin to that of the original Ridley Scott classic from 1979.
With nowhere to go and basically nowhere to hide, the crew on board are seemingly sitting ducks for an alien race whose sole purpose is to reproduce and kill for no reason in this new Fede Alvarez-directed feature. How this will all end? More than likely bloody and violent. And best believe we’ll be enjoying every minute of it when it hits theaters Aug. 16.

When Game of Thrones ended their riveting 8-year run with a lackluster and disappointing final season in 2019, many fans were skeptical of HBO’s planned prequel series, House of the Dragon as we were still salty about how things played out in the original adaptation to George R.R. Martin’s brainchild.
Interestingly enough the series not only surprised critics with an enticing and exciting storyline, but left fans wanting more after it’s debut in 2022, and more we shall get as HBO released it’s first teaser trailer for the second season to their newest hit show.
Picking up where season one left off, the new teaser trailer to House of the Dragon which asks fans to choose a side in the upcoming war between King Aegon’s Green Council and the Black Council which is that of Queen Rhaenyra. Though we have an idea of how this will end given that Game of Thrones takes place hundreds of years later and basically spelled out the events of this feud, we still can’t wait to see it play out before our very eyes as we’ve learned that drama and dragons go pretty well together.
To amp up the upcoming season, HBO dropped a few dueling trailers to get fans to choose a side (black or green) and we just know that if Wesley Snipes was here he’d say “Always bet on Black” but in this case, it’s kind of a tossup.
With that being said, when the hell is HBO gonna give us an update on that Jon Snow spinoff series that we were promised two years ago?? We desperately want to see what the OG King of The North is up to after killing his queen/lover/aunt, Daenerys Targaryen. Just sayin.’
Check out the trailers for House of the Dragon and let us know if you’re as amped as we are about the second season in the comments section below.

Travis Scott is at that point in his career where he doesn’t do many features as he doesn’t have to thanks to his massive success, but when an artist does land a cameo from Cactus Jack, best believe it’s going to be a big deal.
Up and coming crooner, Tyla was able to secure such a blessing and in her and Travis Scott’s visuals to “Water (Remix),” and and Travis seduce each other from opposite sides of a glass cube before ultimately ending up face-to-face and grooving together. Y’all know she getting those “Friends and Family” exclusive Travis Scott Jordans now. We lowkey hatin.’
The PARTYNEXTDOOR meanwhile returns after a lengthy hiatus and in his clip for “R E A L W O M A N,” PND tries to woo a woman at the bar not knowing that she lives the trife life that could leave him unconscious in a hotel room. Be safe out there, y’all.

While Star Wars fans have many issues with both the prequel and sequel trilogies that followed the first three classics that George Lucas blessed us with, the spinoff shows that stream on Disney+ have garnered much love and support. Now another series will be coming that will delve even deeper into the Star Wars universe.

On Tuesday (March 20), Disney+ released their first trailer for a new Star Wars spinoff series dubbed The Acolyte which centers around a Jedi killer and actually takes place 100 years before the Star Wars prequel, The Phantom Menace. Judging from the trailer, the Jedi will have their hands full as they try to take down the young, Force-wielding Sith in training, portrayed by Amanda Stenberg
In the trailer we see this assassin wield a red lightsaber so you just know chaos is about to go down. We’re with it. Also in the cast are Carrie-Ann Moss and Jodie Turner-Smith, as if we didn’t need more reason to tune in.
With the series taking place 100 years before the prequel films, we doubt we’ll see anyone from the OG Star Wars film make an appearance (Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, etc), but Chewbacca and other role players are definitely on the table and maybe even a legendary Sith or two might make a cameo or play a role in the show after it’s all said and done.
Check out the trailer for The Acolyte below and let us know if you’ll be checking for it when it premiers on Disney+ on June 4th. Peep photos in the gallery, too.

Dr. Dre is having a great week after the legendary producer had a star placed on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, sharing the moment with some of his famous pals. Speaking of those friends, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, and 50 Cent joined Dre in a hilarious skit spoofing Grey’s Anatomy.
During Tuesday’s (March 19) airing of Jimmy Kimmel Live, Dr. Dre appears in the spoof of the long-running ABC drama, Grey’s Anatomy titled “Dre’s Anatomy” with the artist born Andre Young in the role of an emergency room doctor.
Dre, Snoop, and Fif all take turns examining Kimmel’s “situation” down below and the most amazing thing about the skit is that nobody breaks character during it all.
After the skit turns into an all-out party with Dre on the beat machine and Snoop taking hits of a mysterious vapor, the skit cuts to a break and teases a new show titled “EM” with Eminem.
The quartet were all on hand this week for Dre’s Hollywood Walk of Fame unveiling, displaying their close friendship and support of one another.
Check out Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, and 50 Cent in the “Dre’s Anatomy” skit via Jimmy Kimmel Live below. And we’ll echo the sentiments of others to say this needs to be a real series.

A few weeks ago, J. Cole teased his triumphant return when he dropped a new verse that had social media buzzing. Last night, the MC from NC once again gave his day-ones something to chirp about as he offered up a second serving of what he’s been cooking in the kitchen.
With his next album The Fall Off set to drop sometime soon, J. Cole dropped off some gritty visuals for “Might Delete Later, Vol. 2” in which the rapper bikes it through the city on some humble sh*t while spitting his verse and looking like an everyday civilian just enjoying a day out on the town. The average person would never think this man is one of the most famous rappers in the Hip-Hop game.
On the R&B tip, Rod Wave seems to be enjoying the life he’s built for himself, and in his Toosii-assisted clip to “Me And You,” the plus-sized crooner shows how he pushes everything from cars to bikes to jet skis as he spends time with his family while wifey polishes up his pricey gold chain collection.
Check out the rest of today’s drops including work from Joyner Lucas featuring Jelly Roll, Jade Malone, and more.

Loaded Lux, one of the top names in the sport Battle Rap, was reported to be dead by a YouTube streamer but it appears that wasn’t the case. It has been confirmed that Loaded Lux is very much alive, however, it’s been said that one of his family members was shot and killed recently.
By way of the Sub 0 BLACK URBAN NEWS YouTube channel, the host Sub 0 shared a Washington, D.C. outlet’s story of a shooting over the weekend that left two men dead. In his reporting, Sub 0 said that Lux was one of the victims of the deadly shooting.
As news began to spread online, colleagues and others close to Lux shot down the rumors and stated that one of his family members was killed on Sunday (March 17). It isn’t known if the victim in that shooting was indeed Lux’s relative.
On Tuesday (March 19), Lux’s name began trending with many of the replies shooting down Sub 0’s report and saying that this was a clout-chasing moment for the streamer. Further, outlets like Gully TV, who spoke with Un Kasa, uncovered that Sub 0’s report was false. Some online are also blasting Gully TV for using “R.I.P. Loaded Lux” in the thumbnail for their report.
