Vybz Kartel’s baby mother, Tanesha ‘Shorty’ Johnson, is not here for the recent allegations by gossip blogger Shelly-Ann Curran who alleges that Popcaan and Shorty had a history.

Curran had a masked guest on her show on Friday night who claimed to have all the tea on dancehall artist Popcaan. The woman wearing red and black with a scandal bag on her head and a plastic mask on her face claimed that Popcaan had a side chick who was upset about the size of his member.

“Mi hear say him nuh pass seven (inches),” the woman said when asked about Popcaan’s side chick. The woman also identifies the supposed side chick. “Boy, you have to go ask Allison off Romeich Entertainment dance crew,” the woman says when asked if Popcaan was mean. “Mamacita, man, the girl weh come inna him video, she leff him and go breed for the scammer boy,” she continued.

Later in the interview, the woman also claims that Popcaan and Shorty were allegedly sexually involved, and that has caused a rift between Vybz Kartel and Popcaan.

“You see with Shorty now, mi nah say it fi reach her but back pon Poppy, all Poppy go deh so enuh. Kartel a pree Shorty hard for Popcaan enuh,” she began.

“Shorty did deh with Popcaan.Yeah man, Shorty did a trouble Popcaan, Popcaan did a trouble Shorty, that’s why Kartel did take her out of the car and now see ah the the house…That’s why when she drive out with the car, him did sen’ fi it, now ah di house she out of,” the woman added.

“S*** yuh mada nasty gal. First me ago reply to something like this. Unuh a try EVERYTHING and me nah response to unuh,” Shorty replied in a comment on Instagram.

“Leave the f**k alone. Try something else crosses. Shelly remember good say a you f**k all a them and a yuh husband divorce yuh. Aguh leave unuh to time. Me nuh pass round inna circle, pick somebody else,” she added.

Shorty also said that Curran was quick to block her when she tried to talk to her.

Curran also responded to Shorty, telling her to follow her other pages.

“Ask her why her ex husband BLOCK Me…me did dying fi Block back somebody. Since the 2 a we s***y s***y and have No Husband ask her to join me on #teatimewithshelly,” Curran said.

Shorty added another comment on her Instagram page. “They will do anything for clout, while I’m over here unbothered and have them busy.”

Vybz Kartel and Tanesha ‘Shorty’ Shorty have been on and off since he went to prison. The artist, however, recently shared he was engaged to a woman named Sidem Ozturk late last year. Shorty has never spoken about the reason for the breakup between herself and Kartel, but it appears Ozturk is now residing at the artist’s house.

In the meantime, Popcaan also shared birthday wishes with Vybz Kartel on Saturday.

“More life and prosperity sir Azim Appreciate everything G, Stay up and keep the meditation sharp!! Freedom is all I wish for you. Blessings on Blessings,” he wrote but did not tag the artist.

Hip Hop Homicides television producer, Curtis ’50 Cent’ Jackson, has his eyes set on chronicling the story of another famous rapper as he hits the ground running in 2023.

The rapper and television producer has earned his stripes as a master producer and storyteller, and now, he says he wants to expand the legacy of his friend, Eminem, and tell his story, which is previewed in the movie 8 Mile. While speaking on Big Boy’s Neighborhood, 50 Cent revealed that plans for the show are already in motion.

“I wanna bring — I’m gonna bring, 8 Mile to television,” 50 Cent said while sharing that Eminem, who is very close to him, knows of the plans.

“We in motion,” he tells the show’s host when asked what stage of production the show is at.

“It’s gonna be big. I’m working. I ain’t got no duds. I’m batting 100 … I think it should be there for [Eminem’s] legacy because it’s important to me that they understand it.”

The successful release of 8 Mile was followed by an album of the same name, and the soundtrack recently marked its 20th anniversary with a re-release expanded edition.

The movie itself was a hit as it chronicled the rise of Eminem as a young man growing up in a trailer park, abuse from his mother, and his immense talent as a rap artist fighting to make a name for himself in a predominantly black hip hop/rap space.

50 Cent has not shared more details about the cast or whether Eminem will even appear in the show. Fifty share a special friendship with Eminem, whom he recently celebrated for having the highest rap streaming numbers last year.

“That’s my Boy,” 50 Cent said as he shared that Eminem earned five billion views on YouTube in 2022. “I’m gonna remind people I’m nice this year. New Music New Tv New movie let’s go! #bransoncognac #lecheminduroi.”

50 Cent also revealed that he has plans to develop three new BMF spinoff shows. The rapper reacted to a report by Deadline that he is working with Starz to expand the BMF universe just like he did with Power universe.

“The BMF Immortal’s 1, 2, and 3 are coming BOOM now i’m gonna Top the POWER UNIVERSE. you know the vibes!” he wrote.

New Orleans rapper Rob49 and French Montana’s bodyguard are among several people who were reportedly shot late on Thursday night during the filming of a French Montana music video, eyewitnesses claim.

Videos online shared by eyewitnesses showed people lying on the ground bloodied as paramedics tried to assist the injured. In one video, a man is seen lying on the streets with bloodied clothing while first responders attempt to cut away his clothing to locate his injuries.

According to NBC South Florida news reporter Ryan Nelson, the Miami Gardens Police Department confirmed that multiple people were shot in front of the popular restaurant, The Licking, located in Miami Gardens. The incident reportedly took place during the filming of a French Montana music video shoot, the reporter said.

Miami Gardens Police Detective Diana Gourgue was quoted by NBC Miami as confirming that officers received a ShotSpotter call for help at the restaurant, which is located on Northwest 27th Street. The news site claimed that the shooting was preceded by an altercation that seemed to have spilled over from another location and later led to the shooting.

Few other details have been confirmed by authorities, but online, there are claims that popular New Orleans rapper Rob49 has been injured and was taken to hospital. There are reports that French Montana’s bodyguard was also shot, and he is in critical condition.

The exact number of people shot is still unclear, but there are claims on social media that at least ten people were shot.

A video of the aftermath of the shooting showed many people lying on the road while police officers and first responders attended to them.

It’s unclear if French Montana was at the video shoot, but the rapper is indeed in Miami to promote his latest album, Coke Boys 6, which is scheduled for January 6.

Bounty Killer and Shabba Ranks trade jabs at each other after some recent comments about the lyrical content of young artists in the dancehall space.

Shabba Ranks has gotten on the bad side of Bounty Killer, who unleashed a barrage of insults at him for apparently shading the Warlord, who recently chided younger artists for “dunce” music and lyrics. Both artists, who are legends in dancehall, recently performed at the Jamrock Cruise, but it seems that something Bounty said set Shabba off.

While performing, Bounty Killer reportedly called out artists who were focusing on “dunceness” in music, warning that Jamaica was too influential in promoting unintelligence.

“Ah we a di strongest culture inna di worl’—wah likkke dot pon di map and everybody waan seh ‘bomboclxxt!’…weh a gwaan a bare dunceness, dats why some bwoy ah come sing some dutty, nasty foolishness,” he had said. “People haffi excellent and educated and smart. Boy seh if yuh waan hide tings from black people, put it in a book. Dat mean seh bwoy a celebrate seh they made us illiterate and dunce.”

Shabba Ranks later appeared to address the comments in an On Stage interview, telling Bounty to leave young artists alone.

“Mi hear some big man inna music now, weh every turn dem turn dem beat against di likkle yute dem,” Shabba said while telling elders in the Jamaican music space to allow younger artists to create their own style of music. “Give di yute dem a chance wid dem music. Di yute dem nuh haffi do di music like how we do di music.”

It seems that his statement touched a nerve with Bounty Killer despite not being named by Shabba. On Tuesday, Bounty Killer went on an extensive rant as he called Shabba an “old, lame, run away, back in di days guy.”

On Instagram, he spoke about his 30 years in the entertainment business and his career transforming while Shabba “ran away” from Jamaica.

“Di Gaadzilla, di messiah, di architect. Mi reinvent dis twice time 1992 and 2002 from Scare Dem to Alliance, so no little old lame run away back in di days guy cyaah size up one General. Nuh NPT (no p****y test) else a funeral. Dun chat to a dunce bat. Marshall and General 2002 St Bess 20yrs later and who’s greater,” he shared of himself and Wayne Marshall’s first performance years ago in St. Elizabeth.

Bounty Killer also recognized some dancehall veterans, but not surprisingly, Shabba Ranks was not named on his list.

“Take out unuh note pads Learn and adapt the formula. Ninjaman, Tiger, Professor Nuts, Papa San, to name a few: dem make stage show in Jamaica and mi revolutionize it. Is which show some p***y tek bout ya? Where and when? Post the clips them then mek we see. I never left this for 3 months since mi buss 92 mi carry this pon mi back NPT”, he said in another post.

In another post, he wrote, “Put bloodcl**t respect pon mi 30yrs of consecutive contributions and development to this culture and genre Sir Gaadzilla that’s the term the stalwart the pioneer, the innovator the inventor the general the coach the architech should I continue,” he wrote in reference to him deejaying at Reggae Sunsplash in the 1990s.

Meanwhile, Bounty Killer made it clear who he was speaking to as he responded to a fan that mentioned Jahshii’s infamous Entertainment Report interview, where he said artists like Shabba don’t help upcoming artists.

“Ask Jahshii. For one he will tell u exactly how the youths felt about some elders,” Bounty replied to the comment.
