Even with only an EP to her name Ice Spice is arguably one of the biggest female rappers in the game today. And the baddy from the Bronx is out to keep her name hot out on these streets for 2024 and luckily for her, she knows how to do just that.
Taking her talents to South Beach for her latest visuals to “Think U The Sh*t (Fart),” Ice Spice and her crew turn up in the 305 where they hit the beach, twerk at the bodegas and Icey flaunts stacks of cash that no doubt came from Jordan Poole’s bank account. Yeah, we’re not letting that one go, bro.
Elsewhere Wiz Khalifa doesn’t seem to mind getting high on his own supply and in his clip for “Soak City Freestyle,” the mix martial artist practicing rapper indulges in some Khalifa Kush while rolling around the city before finding himself in his hotel suite, smoking up some more of his product. We hope that man gets his lungs checked out at least once a year. Just sayin.’
Check out the rest of today’s drops including work from Dej Loaf, Dthang Gz, and more.

Like him or not Jack Harlow is doing numbers. For the last four weeks, his single has held the top slot in America.
As reported by Billboard, the Louisville, Ky. native is on another historic winning streak. The music industry periodical has confirmed his song, “Lovin On Me” has been the top song on the Billboard Hot 100 for the last month.
According to the publication’s 2018 article, the list is ranked based on physical and digital sales, streaming, and radio play in the United States. This new achievement surpasses his previous success with “First Class” which topped the chart for three straight in 2022. He also shared the number one spot with Lil Nas X with “Industry Baby” back in October 2021.
Ironically, “Lovin On Me” is a standalone single that was not included in his most recent album Jackman. His third album was produced by FnZ, DJ Dahi, Boi-1da, and others. The project was met with mixed reviews with some critics calling it his most authentic effort yet while others stated the project felt disjointed.
Jack Harlow first got his shot back in 2020 with his song “What’s Poppin”. The track would go on to be well received on TikTok. That same year he landed a slot on XXL Magazine’s Freshman Class. You can view the video for “Lovin On Me” below.

Yasiin Bey took to Instagram Live to address the recent comments he made about Drake where he suggested that the Canadian superstar’s music is often heard while shopping at Target. The artist formerly known as Mos Def elaborated on his statement, urging for more substance from Drake and even demanding the same of himself.
Yasiin Bey shared a video on his Instagram page addressing his comments on Drake, and the expectations of an artist of his magnitude, while even turning some of that critique toward himself.
“First of all, I don’t hate anyone,” Bey began his discussion. “My opinion is mine. It’s legal in all states, as far as I’m aware. It was not an opportunity to try to slander him, or to clown on him. I have reached out to him, I have no responses yet. I’m not keen to talk about people or to them through a screen, I prefer to talk to people directly. But I will say this. The young man is very talented, he’s been able to be very successful with that talent, and I have no issue with his success or anything that he’s been able to achieve as a result of his talent.”
Bey then spoke directly to his words and that criticism isn’t always an attack on a person, recognizing that Drake has contended with such comments for the duration of his still buzzing career.
“I do feel that some of the criticism that he’s received in the past has been mean-spirited or unfair. So I don’t want to participate in that,” said Bey. “I’ve never had no issue with you personally, I don’t know you well enough to have any sort of issue with you in that regard. Nonetheless, it’s not sacrilegious to have a critique or opinion of a public figure, particularly one of that magnitude in current, modern culture.”
Yasiin Bey added that he would welcome the opportunity for a face-to-face conversation with the OVO Sound honcho, adding that he enlisted the help of Dave Chappelle to connect the two.

A TikTok user defending Megan The Stallion in her rap feud with Nicki Minaj claims that Minaj’s fans doxxed him, threatening his life.
Over the weekend, social media was ablaze as Nicki Minaj publicly vented at length over a line in Megan Thee Stallion’s latest single “Hiss”. “These hoes don’t be mad at Megan, these hoes mad at Megan’s Law,” the three-time Grammy Award winner said, apparently referencing Kenneth Petty, Minaj’s husband since 2019 (Petty is a convicted sex offender).
Minaj took offense, making fun of the Houston native being shot in the foot by Tory Lanez in 2020 as well as insulting the rapper’s late mother in an Instagram live video on Friday (January 25). That didn’t sit well with Bela Delgado, a TikTok user who blasted the Pink Friday artist in a video.
The video caught the attention of Miraj’s fans known as the “Barbz” whom Delgado said have been harassing and threatening him. “Nicki Minaj fans are attempting to dox me, messaging family members as well as people who aren’t members of my family, sending them s–t — apparently they got somebody’s address,” he said in a video posted on Saturday (January 26). “I am sorry. I’m so sorry that I disrespected Nicki Minaj. I saw a lot of other people doing it; I thought I’d add my two cents.” He cited his autism in the apology, saying to his 1.4 million followers that “sometimes things come out a lot harsher” because he’s on the spectrum.
Delgado said in the now-deleted video that he felt Minaj was a “disgusting and reprehensible person by pretty much all metrics of basic humanity and common decency,” referencing that he was once a former supporter of hers. It changed “when she started intentionally surrounding herself with sex offenders,” referencing Petty & Jelani Miraj, Nicki’s brother who was convicted of raping his 11-year-old stepdaughter in 2015.
The back-and-forth between Nicki Minaj and the “Savage” rapper has gotten exceedingly ugly, as Minaj released a new song entitled “Bigfoot” which included lyrics previewed in her Instagram live video: “She like 6 foot, I call her big foot,” Minaj raps, before saying someone “fell off, I said get up on your good foot.” Minaj has also been spotted amplifying her fans’ posts on X, formerly Twitter. For her part, Megan Thee Stallion replied on her Instagram showing her doubled over in laughter covering her mouth as she previewed Minaj’s response to “Hiss”.

Megan Thee Stallion is back with another snake-themed single following last year’s “Cobra” with the blistering “Hiss” track and it looks like there’s some smoke for a fellow artist if the chatter is true. Some fans believe Megan Thee Stallion took a swipe at Nicki Minaj on “Hiss” and the reactions are going crazy right now.
Megan Thee Stallion has been inching her way back to the limelight after taking time away to gather her resources, doing so with the explosive “Cobra” last November. While that track gave fans some insight into Megan’s journey to healing, “Hiss” is a return to Tina Snow addressing all her haters in a big and bold fashion.
However, there is a portion of the song’s first verse that seemingly has the Barbz forming like Voltron to attack the Houston Hottie by calling her “Bigfoot” as some believe it was a dig at Nicki Minaj and her husband, Kenneth Petty.
“These hoes don’t be mad at Megan, these hoes mad at Megan’s Law/I don’t really know what the problem is, but I guarantee y’all don’t want me to start,” reads the lyric. Megan’s Law is a federal law that “require(s) the release of relevant information to protect the public from sexually violent offenders” — and some are connecting this bar to Petty’s sex offenders registry inclusion.
In the early part of the verse, Megan addressed her so-called promiscuity, which came under fire during the Tory Lanez trial and was once brought up again by her ex-boyfriend, Pardison Fontaine. In the second verse, Megan seemingly takes a shot at Drake and that too is causing a stir online.
That said, Megan Thee Stallion is taking ownership of her choices and body, and it doesn’t look like she’s letting her foot up off the gas anytime soon.
Check out the reaction from all sides below, along with the lyric video.

Nicki Minaj is preparing to tour the world in support of her latest studio album, Pink Friday 2, but given her level of fame, she also has to contend with attacks on her character. After a gossip blog alleged Nicki Minaj needed rehab before hitting the road, the Queens superstar responded to the claims.
By way of the blog CrazyDaysAndNights, the author of the site posted a “blind item” which was suggested to be about the popular music star and later disscusted on the @CelebriTEAblinds TikTok page.
“Speaking of horrible people, this foreign-born former A+ list rapper definitely needs rehab before she tries to do a tour. It will be awful,” read the blind item post, which seemingly appears to be scrubbed from the CrazyDaysAndNights page according to our search efforts.
@CelebriTEAblinds elaborated on the rumor in the video below, which garnered a reply from Minaj.
The account then posted a direct message from Minaj and recorded another video explaining their side and also confusion over Minaj’s comment, which read, “Once ugly disease allegedly is being paid to get uglier.”
The account then attempted to decipher a comment from Minaj reading “Allegedly they are sucking someone’s dick & being paid to try and tear down a tour. SOLD OUT. SOLD OUT. SOLD OUT. Allegedly you have a disease?” which can be seen in the clip below.
To help clear up any confusion, Minaj let it be known that she’s referring to @CelebriTEAblinds as “ugly” due to discussing the blind items. As is the case with content like this, @CelebriTEAblinds is angling this to get more views on their page and even explaining what a blind item is to the unfamiliar.
Check out the final salvo in the discussion from Nicki Minaj below.
