Lil Fizz and Omarion are not on speaking terms amid some new revelations inside the B2K camp. Some sources close to the group are now calling their relationship irreparable.

The drama swarming B2K continues with Lil Fizz adding another layer to it as he explains the real reason that the group stopped going on tour and eventually went solo. The members of of the 2000s boy group have been beefing since July after Omarion’s Verzuz with Mario. Since then, Omarion has been against other members of B2K, with many back and forths between them.

Lil Fizz is also adding his voice to the drama as he recently appeared on Drink Champs, where he shared insight on the real reason Omarion went solo. According to Fizz, the group was already at odds around the time when tensions arose between him and Omarion and others as O was close to the group’s management. He also went behind the group’s back and did things like recording his first solo song with Jermaine Dupri.

Fizz said that the group was on tour, and at some point, it was revealed that he (Fizz) had been sleeping with a woman throughout the entire tour.

“I was smashing ole girl the whole tour,” he said as he re-enacted Omarion’s reaction as he grabbed his stomach and appeared to have difficulty breathing before rushing off to the bathroom.

He also mimicked Omarion’s reaction, where he said he really liked the girl. “I’m like, ‘Bro that’s not your girl. What’s up? You cool?” he stated with a confused look on his face.

Fizz did not go into disclosing the identity of the woman, only saying that she was a “regular chick.”

“This was a random that was on the road with us,” he said as he ignored DJ EFN asking if she was a dancer.This is the second woman Lil and Omarion seemed to be at odds over. The two previously had issues after Fizz became involved with Apryl Jones, with whom Omarion has two children.

His relationship with Jones led to the men not being on speaking terms, and to this day, they are still at odds. Fizz did issue an apology last year, but Omarion has not acknowledged him. On the other hand, Omarion recently released his new book and has been minding his business on social media, minus the occasional shady post at other members of B2K.

Popcaan previews a new banger and links with supermodel Naomi Campbell in Paris.

After touching the streets of London, Popcaan jetted to Paris ahead of Paris Fashion Week. The Unruly Boss is currently touring and living his best life in the process. Last weekend he made headlines for his kind gesture of treating some young fans in Malta to a shopping spree. The Jamaican artist performed in front a sold-out crowd at Dream Weekend before flying to London for another show while linking up some famous friends in the UK.

On Thursday, Popcaan shared a hilarious clip of himself trying on a new pair of kicks. It’s unclear what brand show it was, but it’s clear the dancehall deejay was cutting up about the looks. “A this name feet,” Poppy said. Fans have been asking him for more photos wearing the boots, but it seems the artist is saving them for a big occasion.

“Killy outside in Paris,” he wrote.

Popcaan also shared several photos of himself in Paris meeting supermodel Naomi Campbell and also hanging with rapper Bamby and some members of his Unruly outfit, including Cobe Unruly. Of course, you can’t be in the fashion capital of the world and not show off your own gears, so Poppy dropped a promo clip showing off hoodies from his Unruly shop.

In that promo clip, Popcaan previews an unreleased song. “Prada and Fendi, likkle more me dress in a fully Unruly, Bend it over right de so fi me Trudy, kill me haters them and get away smoothly, Prada me Prada, Gucci Me Gucci, gal see me and waan run the coochie, shot in a yo mouth from yo talk ya so loosely, lawd me cologne a kill like Bruce Lee… money longer than Hope Road,” Popcaan deejay.

On the musical front, the dancehall star recently landed a collaboration with rapper Post Malone. The collab will add to Popcaan’s international credits after previously working with artists like Drake, Gorillaz, PARTYNEXTDOOR, Jorja Smith, Burna Boy, Davido, Jamie xx, Megan Thee Stallion, and more.

The St. Thomas deejay is also working on his new album, tentatively titled Great Is He. A release date for the project is not yet available, but fans can expect it to hit streaming services later this year or early next year.

Chloe Bailey Shares Halle Bailer’s ‘The Little Mermaid’ Trailer Made Her Cry

Chloe Bailey is giving her sister Halle Bailey her flowers after the release of the first trailer for The Little Mermaid.

The first teaser trailer for the Disney film was released this week at Disney’s D23 Expo in Anaheim, California, as fans got to see Halle, who plays Ariel performing “Part of Your World” from the movie. On Saturday, Chloe reacted to the trailer where she spoke about being proud of Halle as a model of representation for millions of black children across the world.

“I just need to say how proud I am as a sister, I know it came out a couple days ago but guys when I saw the trailer I cried,” Choe said in an Instagram Live video.

She added that the fairy-tale, which is a fictional story about a mermaid who lived under the sea but traded her fins for legs, will, for the first time offer children of color a representative figure never before seen in Disney movies which always had light-hued people as the main characters.

“I cried and what my sister is doing for the younger generation of all of the beautiful black boys and girls… it’s just so incredible and even seeing all the videos of them like oh ‘she’s black like me, black Ariel,’ things like that, just knowing that my baby sister is making boys and girls across the world more confident in themselves, you don’t know how proud I am!” Chloe said.

Halle’s trailer has gone viral, and the response has been overwhelmingly positive from fans of her and Disney fans. Still, there are some trolls who share racist memes about the trailer on social media. Nevertheless, that didn’t take away from the success of the trailer launch.

The younger Bailey sister has not responded to the backlash. She was initially cast for the live-action remake of The Little Mermaid in 2019. The movie will be released in 2023.

In a recent interview with E! News, Halle Bailey spoke about the pressure she feels to deliver her best performance for this film because she is also a huge fan growing up.

“I definitely think that because I love this movie so much, and I’ve treasured it since I was a little girl, I did put a bit of pressure on myself,” Halle said. “Just because I want to deliver all of the feels that I saw when I was a little girl… Knowing that gave it my all and gave 110 percent into everything of this film, I am really proud of myself.”

Chrisean Rock’s father was allegedly knocked out by Blueface in a fight on Friday afternoon.

On Friday, a video surfaced of two persons fighting. An observer who took the video showed someone being laid out flat on the ground as he narrated that Blueface knocked the person out. In the video, there are cameramen with professional cameras running toward the men. In an Instagram story, Chrisean Rock explained that her father and the West Coast rapper got into an altercation.

“So my boyfriend knocked my dad out. Da family stuff didn’t go well. Ion even know what’s going on [red heart emoji],” she said as he hinted that they were in her home state to meet her family.

Chrisean Rock is a cast member on the show Baddies South produced by Natalie Nunn, but there are reports that the incident on Friday was being filmed for a new show.

Destiny proceeded to add another Story post of her with a middle finger up. Meanwhile, Chrisean Rock responded on Twitter to the melee noting, “What hurts da most [is I don’t] have nothing to do [with] this sh*t forreal]. I was doing it for my family.”

Blueface also added a comment reacting to the video on his IG, “I’m her daddy now [laughing crying face emoji].”

A$AP Rocky Calls Former Friend Relli’s Lawsuit Over Shooting ‘Extortion’

Black Immigrant Daily News

The content originally appeared on: Urban Islandz

A$AP Rocky has responded to his former friend’s lawsuit where he accuses him of being jealous and trying to extort him over his shooting claims.

According to legal docs, Rocky’s lawyer Joe Tacopina says that the artist is a “failed shakedown” attempt by A$AP Relli, whom they accuse of fabricating the shooting allegation because he is jealous of his former friend. A$AP Rocky, born Rakim Mayers, is separately facing criminal charges for the alleged shooting that took place in November 2021 in Hollywood. Relli is separately suing the rapper for damages for assault, battery, and intentional infliction of emotional distress using boilerplate language.

“Rocky didn’t shoot him by any stretch,” Tacopina was quoted by Rolling Stone as he referred to the criminal case as “just a plain and blatant classic attempt at extortion.”

According to Tacopina, Relli, whose real name is Terell Ephron, allegedly physically attacked Rocky at a face-to-face meeting. The lawyer claims that the two men were at odds with Relli “badgering” Rocky for money before the incident. The lawyer says that Relli’s lawsuit is based on a fabricated shooting claim even though police say that they have CCTV footage showing Rocky during the incident and running away after.

A$AP Rocky’s legal team filed their defense on Thursday as they responded to the civil suit where he denied all of Relli’s claims.

“Answering defendant generally denies each and every allegation of the complaint, and specifically denies that plaintiff has been damaged in any amount or in any way as a result of any act or omission of answering defendant,” the reply filed in the Los Angeles County Superior Court read.

A$AP Rocky’s reply outlines several defenses in tort that he relies on, including contributory negligence, where he says that Relli’s injuries “were caused solely, directly and proximately by the negligent and/or intentional acts or omissions” of others and that Relli himself “failed to exercise reasonable care to avoid the consequences of harm.”

ASAP Rocky’s response contradicts what Relli’s lawsuit claims which is that Rocky had asked him to meet up at the Hollywood location on November 6, 2021, and he started the verbal altercation before Rocky allegedly pulled out a semiautomatic handgun and fired several shots in Relli’s direction. Relli is represented by attorneys Jamal Tooson and Brian Hurwitz.

In the meantime, Rocky pleaded not guilty plea to two counts of using a semiautomatic firearm to assault Relli. He is currently out on a $550,000 bond. If convicted of the criminal offense, he may face up to nine years in prison.

At the time of the “Fashion Filla” rapper’s arrest back in May this year, he was awaiting the birth of his baby boy, whom he shares with billionaire businesswoman Rihanna.

Bobby Shmurda Responds To Man Claiming They Were In Bed, Blames Label

Black Immigrant Daily News

The content originally appeared on: Urban Islandz

Bobby Shmurda is reacting to allegations made by a man who claimed he was in a video with the New York rapper.

The MC fans are demanding a response from him after he posted a video lying in bed with two persons covered under the sheets with him. Bobby Shmurda had initially posted the video on his Instagram account as he promoted his “Hoochie Daddy” track. In the track, Bobby has his hands around the two persons. One of them is completely covered, while another has his hair and part of his forehead showing. While smoking a blunt, Bobby says, “I know I said I was going to rehab but come on you kno I was just bull****ingggg man,” as he laughs.

On Wednesday, a man who identified himself as a LGBTQ member claimed that he was in the video with Bobby. Sharing the video on his Facebook page under the same name, he wrote, “I’m mad shy but Bobby loves meee.” The video has been liked 220,000 times and has been shared many times. In the comments, the man, Raza, says that the person whose forehead is showing is him after a follower question his hairline to that of the person in the video.

“That really looks like a mans hairline,” a follower wrote to which Raza responded, “duh it’s mine.”

It’s unclear if Raza is telling the truth. Bobby Shmurda addressed the post on Friday, although he did not confirm or deny whether he was in bed with men.

“That’s why y’all still broke after all these years you spend your time on bull**** and cap to make y’all feel better…tap into reality. go get you some Shmoney #viralpost,” he captioned a photo with graphics that read, “when the hate don’t work they start telling lies.”

@itsbobbyshmurda

Shmurda also hinted that his former label could be behind the “viral post” to sabotage him.

“I’m really that scary… ay they trying to f*** up my tour… cuz I’m not with them anymore and I’m taking they artist on tour like they try sabotage my EP lower my sound all kinda crazy nerd sh** they don’t want it played nowhere They pay for they artist to get played at #reallife #trillers #bandit #bigmad #independentartist #slaveship #nogood,” he wrote in a caption.

He also posted a statement in a screenshot from his Notes app. “Tour is coming and labels always showed me how they control and work any narrative they want and control medias to an extent. How much the bots cost y’all. I just make 200K last week. I’m trying to buy some sh** cus y’all odee yang s***ing I can’t boom the internet so have fun,” he wrote.

The Yutes Recruits Dancehall Star Govana For “Riches & Power”

Black Immigrant Daily News

The content originally appeared on: Urban Islandz

The Yutes and Govana have a special connection. This was clearly shown in the release of their second single, “Riches & Power,” from their forthcoming album Ghetto Yutes.

The track, which was produced by Cin-Trax, is a musical journey through a few different genres of music, including dancehall, ska, and Hip Hop. Govana is also featured on the track. The Yutes seem to be all about the music, no matter what the genre is. This is evidenced by their catalog, which incorporates Hip Hop, dancehall, reggae, and even some trap. Dancehall fans are well acquainted with Govana’s work, and he’s one of the top artists coming out of the island.

This track will expose him to a new market and may open doors for him in the US. Govana, whose real name is Romeo Nelson, is considered a prodigy of dancehall heavy hitter, Aidonia. He has not disappointed and has continued to keep putting out hits.

The video for the track was directed by Shane Creative and focused on Govana’s home ground in Spanish Town, St. Catherine. In it, the “Mannaz” artist is at a beachfront pool party location flowing with both women and luxury. Govana’s distinct voice permeates the vibe of the video and sets the tone for a banger.

The video is full of color and suggests those involved are having the time of their lives. They are very comfortable around each other, and this is probably because the Yutes have always shared their vision to create unique audio and visual experience that combines Jamaican and American music and culture.

That’s according to CEO Chuck Wilson of Babygrande, who added: “In collaboration with Govana, Shane Creative many others, I believe they have truly brought their vision to fruition with ‘Riches & Power.’”

They’ve stayed true to that mission of global superstardom and, in the last few years, collaborated with stars from both the U.S. and Jamaica. One of their latest singles, “Get Money,” features another heavyweight in dancehall, Masicka.

In that track, they went for the combination of dancehall and trap music which saw them get the video into rotation both in the US and the wider Caribbean. The track is already nearing 700,000 views on YouTube as well.

Popcaan Maintains Dancehall Supremacy With Post Malone Collab

Black Immigrant Daily News

The content originally appeared on: Urban Islandz

Popcaan continues his supremacy in dancehall with an upcoming collab with Post Malone.

There’s no doubt that the Unruly Boss is the hottest deejay in the game right now, and an upcoming collaboration with one of the best-selling rappers of this generation, Post Malone, will only help cement his position as one of the greatest Jamaicans to ever take up the mic. The collab was revealed by Post Malone’s Manager Dre London while speaking with the Observer. London also has a connection to Jamaica and may have been influential in getting the two artists to work together.

Dre London revealed that he and the “Firm and Strong” artist had already discussed the song and that Post Malone loves Popcaan’s work. He added that the pair had already met each other at one of the “Sunflower” rapper’s shows in the UK.

Popcaan has a long list of collaborations with high-profile artists, including Young Thug, Burna Boy, Davido, Maroon 5, and Drake, to name a few. His career is now just over a decade, and he has shown the rest of the industry that he has what it takes to maintain being one of the most sought-after artists in the genre.

Post Malone has enjoyed a similar trajectory and is beloved in the US for his unique blend of music. He also has just about a decade in the game and has a diamond-certified single called “Congratulations” featuring Quavo and has also set the record for most weeks at 77 on the US Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums Chart.

The rapper, whose real name is Austin Richard Post, has sold more than 13 million albums and 95 million digital singles and is also ranked the eighth best-selling digital artiste. He has also won 10 Billboard Music Awards, three American Music Awards, and one MTV Video Music Award.

Last year, Post Malone became the youngest artist in history to earn three RIAA diamond-certified singles. His songs “Rockstar” featuring 21 Savage, “Sunflower” featuring Swae Lee, and the 21 Savage assisted “Congratulations,” have all sold over 10 million copies in the United States. On top of that, he has many platinum and gold records under his belt.

Popcaan getting on a song with Post Malone will certainly further his success commercially as an artist on the international scene.

There’s no doubt that when these two greats get together, the track will be fire.

T.I. Channels Boosie Badazz And Jokes About Their Sons Arrests On Stage

Black Immigrant Daily News

The content originally appeared on: Urban Islandz

T.I. found a way to deal with his son recent arrest using comedy.

It looks like veteran T.I. has had a change of heart about his son King’s recent arrest. Either that or he’s following the old adage, ‘If you don’t laugh, you’ll cry.’ That’s what fans seem to think after a clip began circulating on social media of him making light of the situation while on stage at what looks like a comedy show. In the clip, he makes fun of a conversation he had with Boosie Badazz, whose son’s name was not released. They were arrested in Atlanta at the Waffle House on September 1.

The pair were released the next morning, and so far, both dads have remained tight-lipped on what they were arrested for. The day after the arrest, T.I. took to Instagram Live, where he told his fans that he thanked them for their concern but informed them that he had spoken to his son several times.

“Think I ain’t told my son, his mama and his grandmamas? His ass goin’ to prison! If he gotdamn keep this shit up, his ass goin’ to prison. Can’t nobody stop it but him. I’ve already made my peace with it because I know that energy. I was that energy. I know exactly how it’s gonna turn out,” he said at the time.

Meanwhile, King also uploaded to his Instagram Stories and seemed proud while sitting next to a female friend going over their respective violations. As the woman in the video discloses that she received a violation for not wearing a seatbelt, King announced he received four.

Fans seemed to be all for T.I’s new approach to the situation as one said, “I laughed! The impersonation is hilarious…the “mane” is spot on,” while another added, “Tip Chappelle.” That title became the popular opinion in the comment thread.

Watch the video and let us know if you agree we should start calling him Tip Chapelle.
