There is a new Spice in town, and she is getting some love from the original Spice.

Both Ice Spice and Spice made their presence felt at last weekend’s 2022 BET Hip Hop Awards in Atlanta. The Queen of Dancehall showed the New York drill rapper some love by giving her some words of encouragement and posing for a photo with her. The dancehall legend also posed for a photo with another New York emcee, Fivio Foreign, who has tapped a number of dancehall artists recently for collabs, including Skillibeng.

Spice dons a yellow curve-hugging dress with a high thigh split showing off her hips. The Jamaican deejay complements her outfit with golden hair, white nails, and a Spice chain. Ice Spice dons her signature curly red hair, a white mesh dress, and white boots.

Ice Spice has been making a name for herself with her breakout single “Munch (Feelin’ U).” The song’s music video has over 11 million views on YouTube since its release in August and millions more streams on Spotify and Apple Music. Ice Spice even caught Drake’s attention leading to the Canadian star DMing her before they were spotted partying together at a club in Toronto. There are some speculations that the two had a falling out after Drake abruptly unfollowed her on Instagram.

Spice also recently hit the airwaves with her new album, Emancipated. The project is her second album in the past two years following her Grammy-nominated debut, 10. It should be interesting to hear the two Spice on a track together. For now, you can listen to “Munch” and the dancehall diva’s new album, Emancipated.

Following her appearance at the BET Hip Hop Awards, Spice jetted to Guyana for the sold-out show, Cricket Carnival Super Concert, with Skillibeng and Machel Montano at the National Stadium in Providence.

“As a Artist in this music business, it’s not who you are today it’s who you’ll be 20 years from now that will mark your greatness,” Spice said. “Guyana was singing Jim Screechie a song that’s 16 years Old word for word like a National Anthem Besties I love you so much, look how far we’ve came from together [hashtag Queen of Dancehall].”

PnB Rock Murder Case: Police Looking For Fourth Unidentified Suspect

Black Immigrant Daily News

Los Angeles Police are leaving no stone unturned as they seek to bring to justice all who are involved in the murder of rapper PnB Rock.

On Friday, Freddie Lee Trone, his 17-year-old son, and Shauntel Trone, who is married to the elder Trone, were all charged with various offenses in the murder of PnB Rock, who was killed on September 12.

In court, prosecutors disclosed the gruesome details of how the father and son carried out their murder plot and even said that the crime family did not act alone as there is a fourth suspect who reportedly set up the robbery to begin with.

The fourth suspect is said to be the one who tipped off the elder Trone about the rapper’s presence at the Roscoe’s Chicken & Waffles restaurant in L.A.

“Police are reportedly seeking a fourth suspect in the incident, as they believe this person tipped off the shooter about PnB Rock’s location,” a document by prosecutors read.

According to Fox L.A. reporter Gigi Graciette who reported on the latest court hearing, the prosecution shared a description of the suspect, who is yet unidentified. The suspect was seen presumably on surveillance camera footage meeting with Trone outside of the restaurant. The suspect in red is suspected to be the one who informed Trone that the rapper was inside and was wearing expensive jewelry.

Freddie Lee Trone is accused of then leaving the restaurant and going to collect his son to bring him to the restaurant. Video evidence shows the teen going into the restaurant and is seen “walking right by the mystery man in red.”

Chilling details reveal that the 17-year-old was armed and walked straight to PnB Rock’s table, where he demanded to the rapper and his girlfriend, “Give me all of your jewelry now.” Within seconds, he shot PnB without any resistance or provocation.

There are reports that the rapper and his girlfriend were both robbed of their belongings.

Details about what happened next are documented in the complaint, where it says that as PnB falls after the first shot, the 17-year-old shoots him two more times in his back.

He then turned to Rock’s girlfriend, Steffanie Sibhounheaung, and threatened to shoot her. “Show me your hands. Give me that shit right now. I swear to God. I shoot you in the head,” the complaint reads.

The young killer is not finished as while the rapper lay in his dying moments, he robbed him, removing chains, his watch, and rings.

Prosecutors also shared that the teenager then gets into his father’s car, and they are seen driving off to their home, but instead, they park a few blocks and walk home. Trone Senior fled the state of California and was captured in Las Vegas on September 29, where he is awaiting extradition.

Trone’s wife and the teen’s stepmother, Shauntel, appeared in court on Friday, where she openly cried. She is facing charges of harboring a fugitive and aiding and abetting the killer and his father.

In the meantime, the teenager’s name has not been released as yet. A decision as to whether he will be charged as an adult, given the nature of the crime, is being considered.

The teen and his father are jointly charged with murder, robbery, and conspiracy to commit robbery. Prosecutors hint that more charges could follow once police arrest the fourth suspect who is accused of starting the chain of events.

Ari Fletcher Denies Moneybagg Yo Cheating, Reveals Recent Miscarriage

Black Immigrant Daily News

The content originally appeared on: Urban Islandz

Ari Fletcher has confirmed on her cooking show “Dinner With Don” that she was pregnant with her boyfriend, Moneybagg Yo’s baby.

Fletcher spoke on several things, including the current status of her relationship with the CMG rapper and dealing with a miscarriage. Earlier this month, fans speculated that Fletcher was pregnant after Moneybagg Yo shared an image of a woman with what appears to be a pregnant stomach. The now-deleted image showed the woman wearing a large diamond ring that resembled the one that Ari has,

Ari Fletcher confirmed that she was pregnant, but they, unfortunately, lost the baby. “Yes. That was me in the picture, pregnant, holding my stomach like this — ‘Whoop!’ That was me.”

She continued. “And unfortunately, I had a miscarriage and God just you know – But yes I did, I was pregnant and I did have a miscarriage. That is that.”

Moneybagg Yo

Echoing a comment by her co-host, she added, “God said not right now. Probably in the future.” She also confirmed that she and Moneybagg are still together despite breaking up weeks ago.

“Happy, paid and single! Ready for everything new!” she had posted on Twitter days after she was spotted out with her beau at the launch of her make-up line.

“I did break up with that m*thaf*****, yes I did because he had me f**ked up.” Fletcher, however, denied the rumors about Moneybagg Yo flying another woman out to Colombia or that there was cheating involved. Back in August, her Lamborghini truck that was gifted to her by Moneybagg for her birthday last year was also repossessed, sparking assumptions that the rapper had taken back the vehicle after they broke up.

She, however, said the break-up had nothing to do with those things. “Wasn’t bout no cheating. It didn’t have nothing to do with anyone else, it was something solely between me and him.”

In recent weeks, Ari Fletcher has shared her lavish gifts and flowers, presumably from Moneybagg. It seems that all is well with the hip-hop couple for now.

Freddie Gibbs’ baby mother, Raven is reacting to the rapper dissing her in his latest album and calling her a “rat.”

In a series of Twitter posts, Raven Tatum, who in the past accused him of allegedly sending goons to kill her and their son, called out the rapper for involving her in his album. In his song “Grandma’s Stove,” he speaks about his relationship with Raven.

“I never knew sh*t would lead us to child support subpoenas, Rap deadbeat daddy, that’s how they try to paint me, And that’s a shame ’cause those that know me know I love my babies, Raven was a rat, she scratched the Benzy and I dropped the charges, That ho know she’d never had my heart, so she attacked my pockets, Gotta watch how you rockin’ with these groupies, this sh** get retarded, If it wasn’t me, it’d be an athlete or another artist,” Gibbs raps.

Freddie Gibbs previously accused Raven of keying his card in 2019, and he was successful in being granted a restraining order against her.

On Twitter, Raven admitted that she damaged the rapper’s car, but she had a good reason for doing so.

“I don’t like addressing BD drama. but since Fred decided to call me by name on his album, let’s dispel some rumors: i sure did key his car. and i’ll do it again. he refused to watch our son and i got fired from UCLA because I had no babysitter. f*** my job? F*** your car,” a tweet read.

In follow-up tweets about the car, she wrote, “TBH the car was light work. he was in europe with one of his many flunky girlfriends when i got fired.”

She admitted that she wanted to beat up Freddie Gibbs but he wasn’t in the country.

Another tweet said, “I’m real tired of buddy spinning the story like i tore up that car over a woman. no, i tore up that car cuz he manipulated me into moving to Los Angeles, taking him off child support, got me f***ing fired, and locked me and his son in a house with no groceries. that’s the truth.”

Twitter

She also explained the nature of her and Freddie’s relationship and shared that his girlfriend asked her to abort their baby, a boy.

“We weren’t in love. I never wanted to be in a relationship with him. He was engaged I was separated. i got pregnant. Erica offered to pay me to abort and i told her to f*** off and go to hell. she found out and put him out of her house. tell the whole story fred.”

In another tweet she said that Freddie Gibbs lied about how much money he was making to the court to pay as little as possible in child support.

“He’s def a deadbeat. this ni*** lied and told the court he makes $1900/yr to keep himself paying as little as possible in child support. he barely sees his son and leaves him with JD while he goes on vacations with a porn star. that’s why i have full custody,” she said.

“Truly tired of being the scapegoat for everything that goes wrong in this nigga’s life. i’m over here chilling raising our son and i wake up to my govt name being called out on your album. u got a new BM and a new gf. talk about them hoes. leave me out of it. Please,” she added.

Raven also shared that she was married at the time she and Gibbs conceived her son. She later clarified that she was separated from her husband but waiting on the divorce to be final which took a year.

The content originally appeared on: Urban Islandz

Nick Cannon is once again a father as Brittany Bell gave birth to their third child and his tenth child on Friday. The actor joins the ranks of of a much younger NBA YoungBoy who also welcomed his 10th child this week.

The Wild’N Out host shared the ecstatic news on his social media account just about two weeks after he and Lanisha Cole welcomed their baby boy, Onyx Ice Cole Cannon. The baby’s name is Rise Messiah Cannon, following the tradition of unique names by Bell and Cannon, who also share older siblings Golden and Powerful Queen.

This is the third child born this year for Cannon. Along with Onyx Ice, born in early September, he also had another baby boy named Legendary with model Bre Tiesi. Legendary was born in July.

On Instagram, Cannon shared the customary post on Instagram where he welcomed his son but also shared appreciation for the child’s mother.

“Another Blessing!!! As my journey on this planet becomes more and more remarkable and unfathomable, all I can do is thank God and continue to ask the Most High to order my steps,” Cannon captioned a video of the baby’s shower.

“He has given me stewardship and dominion over a family dynamic that to some is unimaginable. But more importantly he has blessed me with loving individuals to guide me with care through this purposeful life,” Cannon. In the video, a woman is loudly praying over the Cannon children as Bell’s friends lay hands on her and Nick in support.

He also said he was indebted and grateful to Bell for being “The rock and foundation of my Fatherhood journey. She has taught me so much about parenting, psychology, spirituality, love and just life in general.”

He added that Bell also shared that she didn’t want anything fancy and was just content with prayers and being with her family. He also shared that Bell also had a difficult pregnancy and delivery as the baby weighed 10 pounds.

“For our third child she told me she didn’t want a baby shower and needed NOTHING!” Cannon wrote. “All she desired was PRAYER from her authentic Loved Ones! I am learning that is the best GIFT!”

Cannon added, “Probably the most difficult labor and delivery I have ever witnessed! 48 hours of excruciating pain and life risking danger to welcome 10 pounds of Love and joy named RISE MESSIAH CANNON.”

Rise Messiah joins half-siblings Monroe and Moroccan, whom he shares with ex-wife Mariah Carey, and twins Zion and Zillion with disc jockey Abby De La Rosa, who is also expecting another baby. He also had a son, Zen, with Alyssa Scott, who passed away last year.

Earlier this year, the artist addressed critics who said he was creating broken homes where he couldn’t successfully parent that many children at once.

“People talk about what’s responsible and what’s not very responsible, I’m only responsible to be myself, I never ever want to be a role model because a role is something you play,” he said in a video shared online.

“I’m a real model, I’m a real person, I got real issues, I got real things that we all working through, and we only gon show up and try to approach it from an optimistic standpoint,” he added.

In a post over the last week, he also asked that people direct their vitriol at him and not the mother of his children. The women have been criticized by many on social media.

Macka Diamond Doubles Down On Lucrative OnlyFans Despite Leak

Black Immigrant Daily News

The content originally appeared on: Urban Islandz

Age or people’s opinions matter little to dancehall star Macka Diamond, who has once again let her critics know that she has no intention of stopping her Only Fans account. The site is known for its explicit adult content, and even though some content leaked from hers, she has stated that she still does not intend to stop posting sexually aggressive content.

She made the declaration while speaking with Jamaica Observer’s Splash yesterday, September 29, where she added that she intends to keep posting even more videos. She also used the opportunity to clear the air and let fans know that she had nothing to do with the leaked content that made it into the public domain.

In the leak, which happened recently and is making the rounds on social media, the “Bun Him” singer can be seen partially exposed and giving her breasts some special attention. This is not the first leak either, as back in June, a video of similar nature also made it into the public sphere.

She firmly believes that the leaks are her haters’ attempts at trying to derail her career as she also questioned what anyone had to gain from circulating the explicit content.

The “Dye Dye” deejay added that If the reason for the leaks is to embarrass her, they definitely won’t win that battle. In fact, she said it would only serve to help boost her subscription on the site. That would mean that she ends up making even more money. In light of the recent events, she also revealed that she intends to raise her subscription from US$10 to US$50.

As with so many leaks nowadays, the veteran believes it happened when she took her phone to have the videos transferred to another device.

“What I am thinking is that when I recently changed my old phone that had the video in question, someone at the phone store downloaded all my old stuff to the new phone, saw the video and decided to circulate it on social media,” she continued.

Macka Diamond

She is one of the female deejays from Jamaica who have joined the site, which was launched in 2016. Two other popular female deejays who are proud of using the site as a side business are D’Angel and Ishawna.

Macka revealed that she joined the platform in 2020 during the height of the pandemic as he was looking for an extra source of income. She explained that for two years, when there were no shows for her and her colleagues to earn a living, they decided to turn to the site.

The “Done Already” artist also shared that since she and some of her other female artists had time on their hands, they chose to keep their fans entertained.

“I have to keep up with my postings and if I don’t, the site will send a message to tell you how long since I posted. But, I don’t have a specific time to post. I may choose to post twice for a week and then only once the other week; it depends on the amount of material I have,” she revealed.

Macka is also confident that her 22-year-old son would not be embarrassed if he came across the video. She added her only son had already seen what was on the video numerous times, so she doubted that he would have any major problem with it.

Black Immigrant Daily News

The content originally appeared on: Urban Islandz

Cardi B is calling out social media users who blamed PnB Rock’s baby mother, Stephanie Sibounheuang, for the rapper’s death.

The “Selfish” rapper was shot and killed on September 12 while he and Sibounheuang were out at the popular Roscoe’s Chicken and Waffles diner in Inglewood, California. Sibounheuang was initially chastised and blamed by many social media users who claimed that she had allegedly set up PnB’s murder by posting a location pin on her Instagram Story.

On Wednesday, a 17-year-old was arrested as the shooter, and later arrested his father, Freddie Lee Trone, was identified as the getaway driver. According to the police, the father and son team were already at Roscoe’s parking lot when PnB Rock and his girlfriend arrived. This development removed speculations that the criminals found the rapper’s location via his girlfriend’s Instagram post.

The Bronx rapper, who initially showed support for the late rapper’s spouse, chided social media users for their harsh comments directed at Sibounheuang.

“Told y’all……Yall must not know how the hood moves …. Y’all owe that girl a apology for the shit y’all put her through knowing that she saw her baby dad die in her face….Social media investigators YALL S***,” Cardi B wrote on Twitter.

Shortly after the murder, Cardi B had called for people to be compassionate towards the woman, especially in light of the traumatic incident and because she has a child with PnB Rock.

“I highly doubt n**** was looking at PMB’s babymom IG,” Cardi B wrote at the time on Instagram in pushing back against fans blaming Sibounheuang for being responsible or the rapper’s death.

Shortly after the rapper’s killing, many called out his partner for sharing their location while they were at the venue. Many speculated that the rapper might have been surveyed on Instagram, with the criminals spotting his location and popping up.

Among those who criticized Sibounheuang were Kodak Black and Nicki Minaj for posting the location pin.

“After Pop Smoke there’s no way we as rappers or our loved ones are still posting locations to our whereabouts,” Minaj said. “To show waffles & some fried chicken????! He was such a pleasure to work with. Condolences to his mom & family. This makes me feel so sick. Jesus,” she had written on Twitter.

After she was criticized, Nicki Minaj doubled down in another tweet. “Yup. Ima say what I want. As a RAPPER & as a MOTHER,” she wrote.

Kodak Black also outrightly blamed PnB’s baby mother for the killing. “That h*e might as well kill herself,” the Florida rapper wrote on Instagram Stories.

Minaj nor Kodak has spoken since the arrest of Trone and his son.

Gucci Mane Regrets Verzuz Outburst On Jeezy’s Dead Friend Pookie Loc

Black Immigrant Daily News

The content originally appeared on: Urban Islandz

Gucci Mane is expressing his regret at dissing Jeezy’s longtime friend Pookie Loc during their Verzuz battle in 2020.

Since then, it seems that Gucci Mane had reignited his beef with Jeezy, which was at the center of their beef 15 years ago. While speaking at the 2022 Revolt Summit recently, Gucci Mane admitted his actions were uncalled for and one he now regrets. During the Verzuz battle, he played his track, “The Truth”, a song that references the manner in which Jeezy’s close friend, Henry “Pookie Loc” Lee Clark III, was killed.

“Put that n***a ass in the dirt. Smoking on Pookie Loc tonight. Send some more, I’ma send ’em back the same way … In a box,” Gucci said at Verzuz.

He explained that he didn’t know that the track would have played and he didn’t plan in advance to rap the track either.

“I didn’t know when I got on the stage, that was gonna happen. [That] I was gonna say that,” Gucci said. “I ain’t like, ‘I’m bringing negative energy.’ It just really came out … I mean what I say, I say what I mean. So my thing was, if I was bad enough to say it in the studio, I’m bad enough to say it in your face.”

He added that after leaving the venue he reflected on what happened and had immediate regrets. “I don’t even like to perform that song,” Gucci continues. “When I left, I was like, ‘Damn. I wish I wouldn’t have said what I said.’”

At the Verzuz, the rapper was not chastised by Jeezy, although many Verzuz attendees called out Gucci for the low blow. Instead, Jeezy had encouraged Gucci to end the 15-year beef and do it for the culture and younger artists who needed a strong example.

“I’ll tell you what. See when I even called you and extended this invite [to join Verzuz], my n***a, I did it as a real man,” he began. “It’s been 20 motherf**king years—” he said, before Gucci interjected with “15!”

Jeezy went on to explain to Gucci Mane that it’s time to bury the hatchet and do something great for the culture and show the world that young black artists like King Von and Nipsey Hussle’s deaths shouldn’t be the new normal.

In his Summit discussion, the rapper said that Jeezy’s comment also weighed on him. “After I did what I did, and he came back and said what he said, I felt what he was saying,” he said.

Gucci Mane was previously charged for the murder of Pookie Loc in 2005. he claimed to have been allegedly attacked by four men, and he returned fire, killing Pookie. His murder charge was, however later discharged for insufficient evidence.
