Boosie says a lot of things. One thing the Baton Rouge rapper can’t wrap his head around if convicted rapist Bill Cosby being a sexual predator. 

Reports TMZ:

Boosie sat down with our Raquel Harper for Tuesday’s episode of “Raq Rants” on BET, and she asked what his takeaway was from Cosby’s sexual assault trial. He explained why the entire saga left him scratching his head.

The Louisiana rapper says women lining up outside hotel rooms for a chance to have sex with celebs is totally common. Now, Boosie was clear … he isn’t saying Cosby is NOT guilty — but he definitely thinks some women have ulterior motives, and that might be the case for some of Cosby’s alleged victims.

Said Boosie: “It’s hard for me to believe that these celebrities have to take pussy,” said Boosie.

Actually, celebrities can be rapists, too. Someone has to give Boosie a serious lesson on toxic masculinity and victim blaming.

To be fair this is only a clip, but don’t bank on the full take being any better.

Swizz Beatz continues to put on for the culture and for the people. One of his original works will benefit the children in need.

TMZ is reporting the super producer made an appearance recently on Raq’s Rants. The late night show finds TMZ’s Raquel Harper on a one on one basis with today’s biggest celebrities. During their talk, the two discussed his newest LP Poison while they painted which is one of Swizz’s other loves.

He crafted an abstract oil painting done by hand that incorporates every color in the rainbow. The back is signed “SWIZZ BEATZ 2018” with the year in the middle of a heart shape. Raquel’s creation was far more primitive with two stick figures that represent Swizz and his incarcerated comrade DMX.

His piece is currently on auction with all proceeds going to The Children’s Rights Organization, which is a national watchdog organization on behalf of abused and neglected children in the U.S. His affinity for the arts should be a shock to his core following. Over the last few years the “Uproar” producer has become an art influencer via his own works and curating programs alongside Bacardi Rum for the “No Commission” campaign which promotes the works of artists alongside music performances.

You can bid on the painting here. Starting price is $5,000.00.

#BardiGang: Lil Yachty Says he Won’t Collaborate With Nicki Minaj Because of Cardi B

Leave a comment

Lil Yachty is set to appear on tonight’s episode of Raq Rants on BET and from the looks of the teaser above, they talked about this latest album which just released two weeks ago, Nuthin’ 2 Prove.

The album features Offset and Cardi B, which the host, Raquel Harper, points out and asked if Lil Boat feels like he needs to choose a side between the Nicki Minaj and Cardi B feud. He swiftly confirmed that he’s #TeamBardiGang and although he would love to make a collaboration with the Queen rapper, he’s signed to the same management label as the Bronx native.

Aside from that, her husband is also signed to the label which Lil Yachty refers to as his big brother. So there’s definitely a conflict of interest if Yachty was ever presented with the opportunity to team up with his label mate’s arch nemesis.

J Prince Sr. Speaks on Pusha T: ‘We Could Smash Him Any Time We Choose To’

Leave a comment

At this point, we are aware of the fact that J Prince Sr. does not play when it comes to his adopted son, Drake. The Rap-A-Lot Records CEO  recently released a new book entitled, The Art & Science of Respect. In regards to promoting the book, he linked up with TMZ to address some things as well. When the rap executive was asked about Pusha T’s comments regarding how he received the info for his diss “The Story of Adidon,” he believes that Pusha could be lying about his source.

“I could clearly see right now the act of damage control is being displayed by Pusha T because of the interview Drake laid out there,” said J Prince. “That’s what that’s all about. We moved forward.”

The Rap-A-Lot CEO referred to Drake’s appearance of LeBron’s HBO show, The Shop. J Prince does not consider the Pusha T and Drake situation beef anymore.

“Pusha is like an ant to us. Like an ant that crawl around you know? We could smash him any time we chose to if that’s something we wanted to do, but that’s not the case here you know? I came involved to put this to rest and as far as I’m concerned this is dead, but this strictly an act of damage control.”

J Prince is obviously one of Hip-Hop most revered figures. During the beef, Prince instructed Drake to forgo the release of the response to Pusha T’s diss. Drake listened.

Peep the full interview with the Hip-Hop legend on TMZ here.

Cardi B Announces New Single, “Money” Coming Next Week

Leave a comment

Cardi B took to Instagram to blast TMZ for “spreading fake sh*t” about her.

In a since-deleted post, the Bronx rapper posted a screenshot of a text message between the tabloid’s producer, Charlie, giving a rep from Bardi’s camp a heads up that they’ve received a tip about a forthcoming single that takes shots at her rival, Nicki Minaj. The rep, who is presumably Cardi’s publicist, denied the claims and said that her new song is about money. The “I Like It” rapper doubled down on the statement and confirmed that her song is about money, and it’s dropping October 26th.

She made the announcement after dragging TMZ for “stalking” her and her daughter a few weeks ago for a photo after she stated that she isn’t ready to show Kulture to the world yet. So until Cardi B is ready to show us her daughter, we’re going to have to enjoy the new music on the way.

“Money” releases two days before she’s expected to take the 2018 Powerhouse stage.

Ye Again: 7 Things We Learned from Kanye West on TMZ

Leave a comment
Saturday Night Live - Season 44

Source: NBC / Getty

In the past few days, Kanye West has once again found himself alienating his fans, anti-Trumpers and morally just people in general by going on his Make America Great Again trip and caping for Donald Trump on Saturday Night Live and then stating that the 13th Amendment should be abolished.

And just when you thought it couldn’t get worse, like Donald Trump has taught over these two long years, it definitely can. Sitting down with TMZ’s Harvey Levin to talk about his latest controversial actions, Kanye West doubles down like Cheeto and adds more fuel to the fire that’s burning up the support he garnered over the decade. All after famously stating that George Bush “doesn’t care about Black people.”

Talking about why he supports Donald Trump, what the MAGA hat means to him and trying to set up a meeting between Colin Kaepernick and Donald Trump, Kanye West clearly appears like he’s off his rocker and in denial about everyday life. Yup, he’s a Trumpian.

Here are the 7 things we learned from Kanye West on TMZ.
