6ix9ine is recovering after a freak accident where he broke his wrist.

The rapper, who was released from house arrest earlier this month, went downstairs to grab some food around 3 a.m. on Tuesday when he tripped over his 1-year-old French bulldog, Poppy, and injured himself while trying to break his fall.

6ix9ine tells TMZ that his hand got caught in the stairway banister and he broke a bone in the back of his wrist. He experienced pain but didn’t know that he broke his wrist until later in the morning when he woke up and it was still hurting.

He went to the hospital and got an X-ray, which revealed the fracture. He will spend the next three to five weeks in a cast.

Tekashi took to Instagram to share a video of his arm and wrist getting wrapped by a nurse. “I got caught lacking in these streets,” he captioned the clip.

He completed his home confinement on Aug. 1, four months after his release from prison. Just 24 hours later, he shot and premiered a video for his latest single “PUNANI.”

Tekashi, who may be expecting a baby with girlfriend Jade, is scheduled to perform music off his upcoming album during a virtual concert on Sept. 5. He was reportedly paid $5 million for the performance.

Kanye West has DaBaby’s vote.

The “Rockstar” rapper is endorsing Ye’s bid for president. Taking to Twitter, DaBaby told his followers that he will be supporting the billionaire rapper’s run for the White House in November.

“Ima let y’all finish…. But you got me fucked up you think I ain’t voting for Ye,” he tweeted.

His endorsement was in response to a tweet from Kanye, who quoted DaBaby’s signature ad lib “Let’s gooo!”

“Warning,” wrote DaBaby. “Use the ‘let’s gooo’ adlib at your own risk. It makes you unstoppable.”

Despite missing the deadline to get on the ballot in many states, Kanye continues to campaign for 2020. He has received support from his peers including 2 Chainz, Ty Dolla $ign, Nick Cannon, and Chance the Rapper.

“Yall trust Biden more than yall trust Ye. I think I understand why, I just don’t feel the same way,” Chance tweeted last month.

Kanye has even designed merch to accompany his 2020 presidential campaign. Taking to Twitter, he shared images of his “Kanye 2020 Vision” T-shirt and hat, inspired by ’80s skate brand Vision Street Wear.

The New York Times recently reported that Republican activists are behind the effort to get Ye on the ballot as a third-party candidate in order to divert votes from the presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden. When asked by Forbes if his campaign was designed to hurt Biden, Kanye responded, “I’m not denying it.”

John Legend, however, is not in support of a West presidency. He has criticized the GOP for using his longtime collaborator as a tool to siphon votes from Biden. “Anyone reckless and/or misinformed enough to fall for the okey doke probably wasn’t voting for Biden (or voting at all),” he tweeted.

CeeLo Green is sorry.

The singer has apologized after criticizing the “adult content” in today’s music, calling it “disappointing on a personal and moral level.” In his controversial interview with Far Out magazine, Green singled out female rappers including Nicki Minaj, Cardi B, and Megan Thee Stallion, describing their music as “shameless” and “desperate.”

“A lot of music today is very unfortunate and disappointing on a personal and moral level,” said Green. “There was once a time when we were savvy enough to code certain things. We could express to those it was meant for with the style of language we used. But now music is shameless, it is sheer savagery.”

The Gnarls Barkley member took aim at Minaj in particular. “You have the ‘Heads of State,’ like Nicki Minaj or someone who is up there in accolade: success, visibility, a platform to influence. Nicki could be effective in so many other constructive ways, but it feels desperate,” he said.

He also called out Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion, who recently released their provocative collaboration “WAP.” “Attention is also a drug and competition is around. Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion, they are all more or less doing similar salacious gesturing to kinda get into position. I get it, the independent woman and being in control, the divine femininity and sexual expression. I get it all,” he said before asking, “It comes at what cost?”

After facing backlash for his criticism, Green issued an apology. In a statement shared on social media on Wednesday, the soul crooner called his comments a “misunderstanding” and said he never intended to offend.

“There seems to be a misunderstanding with a quote taken from an interview I did a few days ago while promoting my new project,” he began. “Firstly, I’m an advocate of artistic freedom and expression as well as a fan of Nicki, Cardi & Meagan [sic]. I know most of them personally and consider Cardi & Offset family. Therefore, I would never disrespect them by any means.”

He continued, “I acknowledge them all as powerful, beautiful and influential women…and professionals. I wholeheartedly apologize to each of them for the inconvenience they have been caused due to a snippet of my interview being used as a headline, and in turn creating controversy and disconnect between me and these ladies as well as their fans. Know that I support everyone who is part of our community & culture. Always have and always will! Much love to all of the female artists who are running the game and handling their business. With Love, Lo.”

Prior to his apology, Megan Thee Stallion fired back at male critics who bashed “WAP” for its raunchy lyrics, while referencing misogynistic lyrics found in songs including Three 6 Mafia’s “Slob On My Knob.”

“Lol dudes will scream ‘slob on my knob’ word for word and crying abt WAP bye lil boy,” she tweeted.

Nick Cannon is firing back at ViacomCBS in a billion-dollar lawsuit.

The multi-hyphenate reportedly intends to file suit against the media conglomerate after he was terminated last month for making anti-Semitic remarks.

According to The Shade Room, Cannon plans to sue ViacomCBS for $1.5 billion, claiming ownership of the “billion-dollar brand” he created with his popular MTV and VH1 series “Wild ‘N Out.”

“It is just that simple, ‘Wild’N Out’ belongs to Nick!” his team said in a statement. “The show was created by Nick Cannon with his idea and original thought. ‘Wild’N Out’ has brought billions of dollars in revenue to Viacom since 2015. And Nick deserves and has earned everything it is worth.”

“From the platforms he provides for other entertainers, the jobs he creates for Black youth, the time he gives to mentoring incarcerated men and women, to the money he gives back and puts into communities, homelessness, and people less fortunate. He is constantly evolving both spiritually and mentally, as well as, taking action in learning, education and bridging the gap within the Jewish and African-American communities, so that it will allow us to build relationships, work together and learn from each other in order to move forward in equality.”

Cannon plans to use proceeds from the suit to invest in education in underserved communities, create psychological programs and youth organizations, and develop inner-city communities.

“If Viacom believes in growth, equality, education, then Viacom will do what is right and pay Nick what they owe, and giving him his $1.5 brand,” added his team.

ViacomCBS severed ties with Cannon following comments he made on his “Cannon’s Class” podcast where he discussed conspiracy theories about Jewish people and praised Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan for anti-Jewish comments.

In an open letter posted to Facebook, Cannon slammed the media giant, claiming it “swindled” “Wild ‘N Out” away from him.

“I created a billion-dollar brand that expanded across a multitiered empire that is still Viacom’s biggest digital brand, touring business, talent discovery and incubation system and successful restaurant franchise. Based on trust and empty promises, my ownership was swindled away from me,” he wrote. “For Viacom to be so deceptive is no surprise; they have been mistreating and robbing our community for years, underpaying talent on their biggest brands like Love & Hip Hop, all of BET programming and of course, Wild ‘N Out.”

He also apologized for his anti-Semitic comments. “I must apologize to my Jewish Brothers and Sisters for putting them in such a painful position, which was never my intention, but I know this whole situation has hurt many people and together we will make it right,” said Cannon, who has been educating himself on Judaism and announced plans to unify the Jewish and African-American communities.
