Florida rapper Julio Foolio once recalled an assassination attempt before he was shot and killed on Sunday. The Hip Hop World was rocked this weekend after Florida rapper Julio Foolio was shot and killed in Tampa on Sunday, June 24.
According to BBC, the 26-year-old, whose legal name was Charles Jones, was reportedly celebrating his birthday when the incident occurred. The musician was “reportedly ambushed” in the hotel car park before the perpetrators fled the scene.

DJ Akademiks is facing a new lawsuit accusing him of rape, sexual assault, and defamation.
The lawsuit, filed in the Superior Court of New Jersey and obtained by Rolling Stone, was filed by Fauziya “Ziya” Abashe, who dated the internet personality (real name Livingston Allen) after meeting him online in 2021. Abashe alleges that on July 16, 2022, Allen contacted her and invited her to his house in New Jersey, not suspecting any “ill intentions” even though they allegedly hadn’t seen each other for almost a year.

Since Kendrick Lamar took aim at Drake with his verse on Future and Metro Boomin’s “Like That” in March, the Compton and Canadian rappers have traded dozens of dark verses (and counting) in a beef unlike any before it. Their war of words hit a crescendo on the weekend of May 3, but tensions have been simmering for years. Here we’ll break down every major development in their battle since late March. But first a little background:

Kendrick Lamar has been busy putting up an attack plan against Drake, and he just dropped another diss track titled Not Like Us. However, Lamar’s earlier track Meet the Grahams addressed each member of Drake’s family. The Poetic Justice singer struck a chord when he addressed a “baby girl,” suggesting that Drizzy has a secret daughter that he had been hiding from the public. Now, Drake reportedly swears on his career that Lamar’s allegations are false.

A hater’s well never runs dry, and Kendrick Lamar’s is overflowing. The rapper started this week off by letting Drake know just how much he hates him on the single “Euphoria,” released without warning on Tuesday morning. Drake knew the response was coming — in fact, he released two back-to-back singles urging Lamar to get in the booth. “Euphoria,” as it turns out, was only the beginning. On Friday morning, the rapper came back for more with another surprise release, “6:16 in LA.”
Rolling Stone confirmed that Jack Antonoff worked on the track.

The feud between Drake and Kendrick Lamar continues, as both rappers constantly get back at each other by releasing diss tracks aimed at one another. The squabble initially began when Lamar fired shots at the Canadian rapper with Like That. Thereafter, the One Dance singer escalated the feud by releasing Push Ups, aimed at Lamar.

The long-awaited showdown between Kendrick Lamar and Drake has been bogged down by Instagram Story trolling, X bots, and artificial intelligence. While the rap world awaits Kendrick’s response to Drake, we’ve also been made to ponder technology’s role in societal decline. When the rap Gods declared “There are no rules in rap beef,” they likely weren’t imagining stan wars with hordes of X bot accounts feverishly posting sophomoric disses like “Daycares worldwide are being told to stay on high alert for Kendrick Lamar.”

Drake’s new track “Push Up,” a diss directed at Kendrick Lamar, Rick Ross, the Weeknd, and others, had the rap world buzzing on Saturday. Then, shortly after, Rick Ross’ response, on “Champagne Stories,” turned a noteworthy day unforgettable. Hip-hop heads of a certain age were hit with a wave of nostalgia thanks to the way both songs were released. A clip of “Push Up” circulated on Reddit and Twitter before DJ Akademiks legitimized the track and played a studio-quality version on his stream. Then Ross sent his response to Akademiks just hours later.

On Feb. 27, producer Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones filed a $30 million civil suit against Sean “Diddy” Combs alleging the hip-hop mogul of sexual misconduct and a host of other illegal activities. It’s the fifth lawsuit against Diddy since his ex Cassandra “Cassie” Ventura filed a suit last November accusing him of several misdeeds including sexual assault, physical abuse, and sex trafficking. The ensuing lawsuits, alleging a pattern of criminal wrongdoing concealed by his power and resources, have marred Combs’ reputation.

Halle Bailey and Ddg's romance is still the talk of the internet. The pair have been dating for over a year now, and though they try to keep their relationship low-key, curious fans can't help but inquire about it. Bailey shared an update on their romance in her September 2023 cover story with Cosmopolitan, telling the outlet it's her "first deep, deep, real love."
Back in May, ahead of the debut of her movie "The Little Mermaid," Bailey offered a smile and laugh when People asked if her rapper beau has the makings of a prince, like the fictional one she falls for in the Disney film. "People love to talk about this," she told the outlet, adding, "Yeah. I would say that."

Quavo stopped by Toosii’s concert in Atlanta last night to join the rapper for a rendition of “Hotel Lobby.” The sold-out show, at Atlanta’s The Tabernacle, also featured special guests Rob49, Jacquees, and Hunxho.
“Hotel Lobby” comes off Quavo and Takeoff’s 2022 LP Only Built for Infinity Links. When the track was released last May, the pair’s Migos bandmate Offset was notably absent. Due to Takeoff’s murder last year, Quavo hasn’t had many opportunities to perform the song live, making last night’s rendition especially poignant.

Los Angeles, Aug 14 (Ians) Rapper Drake on the first night of the L.A. leg of his ‘It’s All a Blur’ tour was filmed scolding a male fan for tussling with a woman over his sweaty towel.
The tension started after the 36-year-old emcee tossed his towel toward the audience after leaving the stage, reports aceshowbiz.com.
A female fan then caught it, but one male fan suddenly tried to snatch the relic out of her hands.
Drake saw the moment as he headed backstage. In a video circulating online, the Canadian rap star could be seen yelling at the man. He then assured the female woman that he had someone on the way to help.
“I’ma send someone up there,” the four-time Grammy winner said while looking at the altercation. He also appeared to confront the man who tried to take the towel, but his team quickly guided him.

In the video, Drake is seen at a recent concert at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center, addressing the crowd.

“Did you throw a vape over here?” Drake asks.
“Come on. Hey, you doesn’t… who threw this? Who threw the vape?” he continues.
“There’s no way you’re taking life serious if you think I’m gonna pick up this vape and vape with you at the f**king Barclays Center,” he adds.

Young Thug’s new album Business is Business dropped last week, and, as usual with an A-list rap release, the music isn’t the only thing making headlines. Thug’s third studio album, which debuted at number 2 on the charts, is his first full-length release while incarcerated and awaiting trial on the Ysl Rico case. Some fans have been attentively listening to the project seeking inklings of Thug’s thoughts on the case and his — former? — friend Gunna.

Hip-hop has something for everyone. That’s the beauty of the genre — but in some instances, it reflects ugly realities. Future’s I Never Liked You and Drake and 21 Savage’s Her Loss are two 2022 rap albums that lean on misogynistic tropes, in their marketing and lyrical content, to great success. Future fully leaned into being the “toxic king” on his project, amplifying the late, controversial relationship expert Kevin Samuels and lacing the album with glimpses of chauvinist tyranny. Similarly, Her Loss was defined by Drake’s hypermasculine posturing,...

Thew new album by Drake and 21 Savage was a true collaboration.
Earlier this month, the rappers released their album Her Loss, and in a conversation on SiriusXM’s “Sound 42”, the pair reveal just how much they worked with each other to produce the record.

Days after his untimely death, fans filled Atlanta’s State Farm Arena for a celebration of the life of Kirshnik Khari Ball, known to the world as Takeoff.
Hosted by the Migos star’s family, the celebration was held on Friday afternoon in Takeoff’s native Georgia, where Drake and Chlöe were among those who performed at the emotional gathering officiated by Pastor Jesse Curney III of New Mercies Christian Church.
“I was really sad to hear the news,” Curney previously said in a statement. “Kirshnik has been a faithful member since he was 10 years old. He and his family have been active and avid supporters of the church and the community as a whole.”

Megan Thee Stallion has hit out at Drake after he appeared to claim that she was lying about being shot by Tory Lanez.
In June 2020, the “Wap” rapper was shot in both feet after a party at Kylie Jenner’s house, with Megan alleging that the shooter was fellow rapper Lanez.
Lanez was charged with felony assault and, in November 2021, entered a “not guilty” plea.
The trial has been pushed back a number of times, but is scheduled to begin later this month on 28 November.
On Friday (4 November), Drake and 21 Savage released their collaborative album Her Loss, featuring the track “Circo Loco”.
On it, Drake raps seemingly in reference to Megan: “This b**** lie ’bout getting shots but she still a stallion/ She don’t even get the joke but she still smiling.”
In the early hours of Friday (4 November) morning, Megan tweeted calling on her fellow musicians to...

LL Cool J took to his Instagram on Thursday to teach a lesson on respecting hip hop history makers. The rapper was responding to comments made by media personality DJ Akademiks, who referred to some of the pioneers of hip hop as “dusty” and asked if any of the older rappers were “really living good” while streaming live on Twitch.
Although he never referred to the DJ by name, LL — a hip hop pioneer himself — responded to the stream during an Instagram Live, calling the belief that someone not having money means they don’t have any value is “a bad idea” and “misinformed.”

Rapper PnB Rock died during a robbery in Los Angeles on Sept. 12, and in his last interview shortly before his death, he discussed the fact that he had never been robbed.
"It's so common," he said in an interview with DJ Akademiks recorded a week and a half before his death, adding that "I never got robbed. Ever in my life." He went on to say, "I ain't gon' say never. I don't like saying 'never.' I'm not superstitious, but I haven't been robbed. I'm not gonna put myself in those situations because I know what happens in those situations." He added that since his oldest "brother got killed," he "move[s] different."
"I've seen people die, I've been around people that died, but when that sh*t hits your crib crib, you know this is real life," he said. "Anybody could die. It could be anybody. The last person that you expect could die.

Pnb Rock, a rising rapper from Philadelphia known for singles like “Selfish,” was shot and killed during a robbery at a chain restaurant in south Los Angeles.
Police say that Rock was shot after an argument broke out at a Roscoe’s Chicken and Waffles restaurant when an armed robber demanded the rapper’s jewelry. He was eating there with his girlfriend, and police suspect that the robber found him because of an Instagram post she shared at the restaurant.

Tory Lanez insisted his new song “Mucky James” — which really feels like it’s at least partly about his felony assault case tied to the 2020 shooting of Megan Thee Stallion — does not address his felony assault case tied to the 2020 shooting of Megan Thee Stallion.
Indeed, there are no direct references to the case, but the new track generally finds Lanez mulling past dust-ups and conflicts (including those with Meek Mill and Kehlani). And a handful of lines could be interpreted as being obliquely about his legal troubles involving Meg.

Judge David Herriford revoked Lanez’s prior bail of 250,000 and raised it to 350,000 after hearing nearly an hour of arguments and finding that Lanez violated court orders prohibiting him from contacting or harassing Megan or discussing any discovery in the case with outside parties.

It also features the unmistakable voice of Justin Vernon, the man behind Bon Iver, singing the chorus. Unlike guests Jessie Reyez or Royce...
