Druski is perhaps the top funnyman on social media today and displays his comedic talents often via a variety of skits and Instagram Live sessions. The Georgia native recently invited Birdman to a live Instagram broadcast and folks on Twitter can’t tell if it’s a bit from Druski or if Birdman was truly putting the press on him.
In times past, Druski launched a satirical Coulda Been Records as part of his ongoing comedy and content routines but actually established the brand as a real operating record label. The logo for Druski’s company curiously looks like the one used by Birdman’s Cash Money Records imprint and it appeared that the chat was about to go left.
At one point, Birdman tells Druski that he has “female steppas” ready to handle his business over people playing with his brand and name. We’re not entirely sure, but we believe the entire conversation is meant to be an extended sketch. On Twitter, one person noted that Birdman, who clearly gave off a menacing air, almost broke character.
Birdman even praised Druski at one point of the conversation only to walk it back immediately after. Again, if this is indeed a bit, Birdman should definitely consider acting in the near future.

Darius Daulton, also known as Darius Jackson, is learning a tough lesson many other men have learned when it comes to dating an exceptionally beautiful woman that is also a public figure. The father of Keke Palmer‘s son took to Twitter to criticize his partner over her outfit choice after a video of Palmer being serenaded by Usher went viral.
Darius Daulton caught wind of a video from Usher’s standing concert series in Las Vegas that Palmer attended. Video footage shows Usher, 44, singing passionately to Palmer, 29, and at one point, Palmer drapes her arms around Usher in a suggestive but playful manner while clearly enjoying the moment.
Daulton, who reportedly works as a fitness trainer and is the brother of actor Sarunas Jackson, didn’t enjoy the moment. His tweet said it all.
Immediately, fans online began calling Daulton names, including saying he was hating on Palmer for having a good time and other choice insults that include him being jobless. Instead of deleting the tweet or walking it back, Daulton fired back with a tweet repping his favorite NFL team, the Philadelphia Eagles.
After that tweet got some requisite criticism, Daulton once more closed the book on the whole matter and is deciding to move on.
Daulton wrote:
We live in a generation where a man of the family doesn’t want the wife & mother to his kids to showcase booty cheeks to please others & he gets told how much of a hater he is.
This is my family & my representation. I have standards & morals to what I believe.
I rest my case.
Palmer has yet to say anything about Daulton’s tweet, at least via Twitter. In fact, just yesterday (July 4), Palmer declared her love for Daulton.

Brown is also someone coming into her own and embracing her curves, something she recently spoke about on Facebook. As is the case for many women of her physical stature, growing into accepting what nature gave her is a journey, and she is inspiring others out there to own their beauty on terms that fit them.
From Facebook:
I use to be extremely self-conscious of my body, especially as a young girl. Picked on in elementary & middle school bc I was the only girl that was developing quickly. Older men hitting on me, etc. It has taken awhile for me to gain the confidence to walk in this body & I’m finally at a point where I’m starting to love all of me & wear what I think is beautiful despite what others may think. There are struggles at times, but I’m currently in my “eff it” era so if you don’t like it…keep it pushing bc I love me some me!
To stay connected with Briana Brown, we suggest following her TikTok page here. We’ll share images from Instagram in the gallery below.

JT and Lil Uzi Vert are one of Hip-Hop’s most popular couples and have had their share of ups and downs throughout their romance. Things seemingly got heated over the weekend after footage surfaced of JT tossing her phone at Uzi, and some online are speculating that it’s over Ice Spice.
JT and Lil Uzi Vert were in attendance at the 2023 BET Awards in Los Angeles, Calif. on Sunday (July 25), another star-studded affair for the long-running network and brand. While the affair was largely drama free, that wasn’t the case among those sitting front row.
Some online are contending that JT’s anger toward Uzi was over a line in a new song that they performed at the BET Awards where Ice Spice’s name is mentioned in the closing bar but it doesn’t seem like he was flirting with the Bronx rapper.
Footage that has surfaced showed JT calling Lil Uzi Vert a “groupie” and “b*tch” before tossing the phone at them and having to be restrained by others in their row. Another video showed Uzi seemingly pleading with their partner but the City Girls star wasn’t having any of it.
The footage, now since viral, hasn’t been addressed by the couple nor Ice Spice so far but that hasn’t stopped Twitter from adding their investigative bent to the happenings. What can be confirmed is that JT and Uzi left the venue together shortly after their spat but it was tension in the air.

Dr. Umar Johnson has his fair share of critics and detractors and it appears recent comments he made during a podcast interview will add to those ranks. During the discussion, Dr. Umar Johnson expressed disappointment in the perception some men hold regarding the role of women in society despite getting pushback on his stances from the show’s hosts.
Dr. Umar Johnson was a guest on the Daily Rap Up Crew show and a series of clips from Dr. Johnson’s appearance have since gone viral. In one especially heated exchange, Johnson explains
“At the end of the day, if I’m a call myself a man, the ultimate responsibility for the reconstruction of the Black community rests with me,” Johnson said to the trio of hosts for the Daily Rap Up Crew. “Yes, they [Black Women] have a role. Yes, they have responsibility. But as a man, as a leader, to say ‘I can’t fix this sh*t unless she changes’ — that’s not the definition of a man.”
Johnson received pushback at this point when one of the hosts retorted by saying that the current pool of women to choose for a mate is, in the host’s words, “masculine” and does not want to raise the children of another man. The host added that too much of the onus has been put on Black men to conform to women, but Johnson fired back.
“Why is she masculine? Because she had to raise the kids alone,” Johnson fired back before getting cut off and returning the energy. I’m telling you, mistakes made by Black men systemically gave rise to the conditions that allowed her to be masculine and made her end up with a man that you consider to be less than he should be. And I’m telling you, Black men are responsible for her being masculine because we have not helped her raise them children.”
