B.G. has celebrated what he and his fans hope will be his last birthday spent in prison amid news of the rapper’s imminent release from federal custody. The rap star, who turned 43 years-old on Sunday (Sept. 3), took to Instagram to share his latest life milestone while confirming that he’ll be returning to the streets after thirteen years behind bars. “After 12 winters and 13 summers, I see the end zone,” he wrote in the post, which included various pictures showing off his newly chiseled physique.

Kanye West’s compelling pump-fake was arguably the most exciting moment of the Grammys last night. Mimicking the stunt he pulled back in 2009 when he confidently graced the stage and interrupted Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech, the rapper shocked everyone, including Jay Z. This time the victim was Beck, the legendary alternative rock singer-songwriter who has been around since the mid 80s. To everyone’s surprise – including Beck’s – he took home the award for Album of the Year, beating Beyonce’s Beyonce, and giving Kanye another perfect opportunity.

Amongst the many accolades and honors that Beyoncé has received throughout her stellar career, she will now be recognized as the ultimate Innovator at the 2024 iHeartRadio Music Awards. According to the media platform, the Innovator Award is given to one artist who is “continuously contributing to pop culture and the music industry.” Bey has done just that, as she’s transcended limitations in music, fashion, hair and so much more. The news comes just weeks after she announced that her next album, Act II, will introduce “Cowboy Carter” and tap into her country roots.

Boosie Badazz says he’s speechless after his associate, Dallas rapper Mo3, was shot and killed on a Texas highway Wednesday (Nov. 11). The grieving rapper took to his social media accounts to honor Mo3, whose birth name was Melvin Noble. “I’m lost for words,” Boosie tweeted. “My boy Mo3 see u when I get there.” In addition to a message on Twitter, the Louisiana native shared heartbreak emoji’s on a Facebook post describing the fatal shooting.

Boosie Badazz continues to question JAY-Z’s popularity as a musical artist, claiming that he’s a more popular rapper than JAY-Z among southern Hip-Hop fans. The Baton Rouge native recently made the proclamation while sharing a tweet from another social media user. The post argued that Boosie is more highly regarded as a rapper than JAY-Z in that particular region of the country. “Nobody from the South has Jay-Z ahead of Boosie on their All-Time list,” a Twitter user named Anywaydev wrote in the intial post.
