Jemele Hill has emerged as one of the more outspoken sports journalists and public figures of her era, using her massive platform to express thoughts that are often met with pushback. Hill once more sounded off in her unique way, criticizing Offset for sitting down with Bobbi Althoff for an interview.
Via X, formerly known as Twitter, Jemele Hill fired a shot at Offset for appearing on an upcoming episode of The Really Good Podcast with Bobbi Althoff. Some might remember the podcast for a viral interview with Drake as he and Althoff have a conversation in bed while the Canadian superstar sips wine.
I don’t find these types of interviews particularly enjoyable or interesting,” began Hill’s critique on X. “Instead it just sadly points out how real hip hop journalism has been practically erased. Some of the media teams behind these artists aren’t interested in them sitting down with credible people who know how to tell stories and do quality interviews. Then they wonder why an artist’s real story goes untold, neglected or that artist is misunderstood.”
In a new viral clip, Offset is seen matching wits with the typically deadpan and sarcastic Althoff and not letting her humor get the best of him. Further, Althoff’s attempt to embarrass her guest backfires as the Migos star deftly dodges and parries with his own shots.
Hill’s missive is not unlike one made by veteran Hip-Hop journalist Elliott Wilson, who made similar comments about Drake sitting down with Althoff in lieu of Black media outlets that actually know and care about his story.
Wilson previously interviewed the OVO honcho on his show, Rap Radar. Wilson also clarified that he wasn’t miffed Drake wouldn’t sit down for a second time but wondered aloud why a star of Drake’s magnitude would, in his words, “speak to us again” in a reference to Black music media.
Hill just wrapped season four of her original Spotify podcast Jemele Hill Is Unbothered this past July.

Chrisean Rock and Blueface are back to their usual on-again, off-again relationship, and the new mother of one is already putting her baby daddy on blast. After Blueface posted a questionable image of their son, Chrisean Rock went on Instagram Live to discuss the matter.
Chrisean Rock saw her name trending after Blueface, or someone who allegedly hacked his Twitter account, and posted an image of their infant son’s genitalia. Again, this is alleged as we have not seen or are looking for that photo.
Rock went on IG Live and let off an emotional rant regarding the leaked image of her son. The stream was screen-recorded by The Neighborhood Talk, which we’ll share below.
From what we were able to gather from X, formerly known as Twitter, and from the comments on Instagram, Rock and Blueface’s son might be suffering from a hernia, which sometimes requires surgery. While the offending images are scrubbed from Blueface’s Twitter page, there are posts from last week that address Rock and their son.
“I know she going thru some an it’s not easy no hood harder then parent hood so I’m not gone be mean to her no more cuz her mental state determines how my son day goes let’s just encourage her to be more accountable an responsible this time around come on rock we got this I’m here,” Blueface tweeted last Friday (September 22).
In a series of tweets posted Monday morning (September 25), Rock looks as if she’s attempting, yet again, to sever ties with Blueface with fans urging her to do so for good.
“I tried making peace but he knew certain things I wasn’t for real about like actually doing milfmusic and back yo giving my income to him,” began the morning thread.
It continued with, “Crazy i didn’t even know u posted our sons D*ck on social media woah this man knows how to hurt me bro I got nothing else to say blue this ain’t ya kid no more blue I got nothing but love for this tragic situation.
We’ve got reactions to Chrisean Rock and Blueface’s latest fallout below.

Kanye West first teased the follow-up to his massive DONDA project back in 2020, titled Donda: With Child, and now a visual album with that title has been leaked. In a new report, the album features varying versions of previously released tracks and some material that went on to appear on other albums.
HipHopDX broke down the details of Donda: With Child, comparing the project to the previous release from Kanye West, and found some similarities and deviations from the final product that was released to the masses in 2021.
As the outlet discovered, the tracklist for the visual album was posted on the Reddit platform, and Ye previously teased its release over the summer of 2020. We should state that this information is unofficial but the same Reddit thread notes that the track “God’s Country” ended up on Travis Scott’s latest album, UTOPIA.
The tracklist:
Pray For Me (feat. Saint JHN)
12,000 Acres (feat. Victory Boyd)
Wolves (Interlude)
Follow The Light
Off The Grid (feat. Pusha T)
24 (feat. KayCyy, The Sunday Service Choir)
Hurricane (feat. Big Sean, Ant Clemons)
Alien (Space-X)
Keep My Spriit Alive (feat. Griselda, KayCyy & Dem Jointz)
God’s Country (feat. Travis Scott)
Future Sounds (feat. Travis Scott, Victory Boyd)
I Know God Breathed On This (feat. Victory Boyd)
With Child (feat. James Blake)*
??? (Interlude)
Crash Landing (feat. KayCyy, Sheck Wes)
On “Off The Grid,” Pusha T is on the hook and delivers a guest verse. On “Hurricane,” Big Sean and Ant Clemons were in place of Lil Baby and The Weeknd. There is also a different version of “24” featuring The Sunday Service Choir and KayCyy. Saint JHN, James Blake, Sheck Wes, and the previously mentioned Scott also show up.

Sen. Tim Scott has entered his name into the presidential race sweepstakes and he appears to be landing near the bottom according to some reports. The South Carolina senator saw his name trending on X, formerly known as Twitter, earlier on Wednesday (September 20) most especially for his being against the idea of unionized workers.
A recent video of Sen. Tim Scott on the campaign trail displayed him decrying the efforts of the ongoing United Auto Workers strike, evoking the union-busting ideas of President Ronald Reagan.
“I think Ronald Reagan gave us a great example when federal employees decided they were gonna strike. You strike, you’re fired. Simple concept to me,” Scott is seen saying in the clip below courtesy of The Recount
Further, political commentator Keith Boykin recently put out a video dissecting Scott’s jab at the Republican Party for dredging up negative ideas about him because he’s surging in the polls.
As Boykin noted in a two-part video last week, Scott is not a frontrunner, as Donald Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis own the lion’s share of the interest among GOP voters. Boykin suggests that Scott is not directly living his truth and is hiding the fact from his party that he might be gay.
Sen. Tim Scott is currently taking a lot of shots on X at the moment. Keep scrolling to see some of those comments below.

Papoose and Remy Ma endured hardships en route to marrying one another and becoming a living symbol of Black love triumphing over all. Now, fans are leaning into fast-moving rumors that Remy Ma cheated on Trigger Happy Pappy with a buzzing battle rapper although nothing has been remotely confirmed.
Remy Ma saw her name attached to rumors that she was involved with Philadelphia battle rapper Eazy The Block Captain, who faced off against Compton’s Geechi Gotti over the weekend at Chrome 23: I Do What I Want in Eazy’s hometown.
During a point of the battle, Geechi rapped directly at Remy, who founded Chrome 23, referencing her husband Papoose and the alleged rumors that she hooked up with Eazy, leading to Pap knocking the Philly rapper out.
Battle rap is usually just good theater and Geechi delivered his bars with his usual aggressive intensity with Remy looking around and past him, sparking some to think the raps he was spitting were true facts.
Eazy didn’t do much to discredit the allegations, considering he rapped at one point that if he got socked out by Pap, he still got the woman. We don’t need to explain that none of the raps referenced above were delivered in this vanilla manner. The “B” word was thrown around quite a bit.
After the match, the YouTube channel 15 Minutes of Fame caught up with Remy, who spoke about the battle and said that she wasn’t moved by any of the shots because that’s what battle rap is about. She also fired back at Geechi and warned that he doesn’t have too many more times to refer to her as the “B” word. Check out that interview below.

In all of this, Papoose has yet to address the allegations regarding his wife but fans on Instagram are taking the rumors and asking the Brooklyn rapper wild flagrant questions about his spouse and their marital status.
Check out the reactions below.

Jeezy and Jeannie Mai looked to be one of entertainment’s top power couples but the Atlanta rapper filed for divorce late last week which shocked many. A quick scan of Jeezy’s Instagram page shows the CTE boss clearly moving on by way of posting a cryptic message along with an old clip featuring his soon-to-be ex-wife that might raise eyebrows.
Jeezy, real name Jay Jenkins, and Jeannie Mai wed in 2021 after the pair met each other after Jeezy appeared on Mai’s former daytime talk show, The Real. Jenkins and Mai are the parents of a toddler girl and the rapper is asking for joint personal custody while also clearly stating that there is no saving the marriage.
On Instagram, the Snofall artist can be seen standing in front of a custom Mercedes-Benz and decked out in bright jewelry in a residential neighborhood with the caption for the image reading, “Too focused on who I’m becoming to focus on who’s not coming with me.”
In subsequent images from the post, Jeezy is still sporting a diamond-encrusted wedding band. Some online, especially in the comments section of the post, believe that this was a message for his estranged wife but that hasn’t been confirmed. The image was posted the same day news of the divorce filing went wide.
Jeannie Mai has not posted to her in five days, in which she shared images of her visit to New York for NYFW. She also shared a behind-the-scenes video of her preparation for the photo shoot on her TikTok page with Nick Minaj’s “Last Time I Saw You” as the backing music. As some noted, she too is still wearing her wedding ring.
Mai nor Jeezy have not made any full public statements regarding their split.

Jonathan Majors is currently embroiled in a domestic violence case that has seen court proceedings delayed time and again, but the actor is back in the public eye. In what some users on X are calling curiously timed, Jonathan Majors was seen on video breaking up a fight between two high schoolers and the negative reactions have been relentless.
In a video obtained by TMZ, the clip shows two young students fighting one another at Hollywood High School when Jonathan Majors comes into the shot and gets the pair to stop fighting but not before they kept trying to go at one another. The outlet spoke with Majors in West Hollywood sometime after the fight and the actor said that he just wanted to make sure the young students were okay.
Given that Majors is in need of a major PR makeover, some on X, formerly known as Twitter, believe that the timing of the fight video and the clip itself raised more questions than anything. As TMZ noted, the school is across from the famous burger chain In-N-Out and apparently that’s where Majors was during this scuffle.
While the video is somewhat blurry, Majors towered over the students, and his customary puffy hat was also in tow. Still, despite the intentions laid out by the star, folks on X are simply not having it and the jokes have commenced.
However, to Majors’ credit, the fight was definitely real after several students and a Hollywood High School confessions page confirmed the facts. We doubt that Majors’ PR team would stoop this low anyway, but stranger things have happened.
We’ve got a few X replies for you to peruse below. Make your own determination.
