 Gucci Mane is back with a new song called ‘TakeDat’ that might as well be called ‘No Diddy’ because that’s how he ends most of the lines. It’s not a diss track per se, but there are definitely some lights that Diddy would take offense to. It seems Guwop’s been inspired by the recent beef. I got the power and respect but no Diddy
The CEO is in the video but there is no Diddy
‘Cause I ain’t dancing like a ho, no Diddy
You can watch the video below.

 Eminem has surprised fans by announced his new album today titled The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grace). The trailer was released shortly after the rap star made an appearance during the NFL draft which is quite an interesting watch. “Through his complex and oft-criticized, tongue-twisting rhymes, the anti-hero known as Slim Shady has had no shortage of enemies,” a reporter says. “The same rude lyrics and controversial antics may have ultimately led to his demise. Join me as we recreate the events that led to the murder of Slim Shady.” Em’s longtime friend and collaborator 50 Cent also makes an appearance in the clip. “He’s not a friend, he’s a psychopath,” he says. The new album is due out this Summer and will serve as the follow-up to 2020’s Music to Be Murdered By which was a commercial success and admired by fans worldwide.

 Manchester United forward, Marcus Rashford, has said the criticism he has received so far this season is “abuse.” Rashford has scored only eight eight times in 40 appearances this campaign. It has led to the 26-year-old facing some fire from fans and pundits. Rashford, replying to a post on X, formerly Twitter, which claimed the way he has been treated is “absolutely disgusting” and “cruel”, said the level of criticism has become too much. He wrote: “It is abuse and has been for months. Enough is enough.” Rashford, who hit 30 goals in all competitions last season, was dropped to the bench by manager Erik ten Hag for two matches following a poor performance in United’s 1-0 defeat at Newcastle in December while also having his off-field behaviour criticised by the Dutch manager.

 The Drake vs. Everybody beef has pretty much been dominating Pop culture conversations for a long while now. Rick Ross properly added his name into the mix when he responded to Drake’s ‘Push Ups‘ with ‘Champagne Moments‘ in a matter of hours and tonight, he drops a video to go along with it. There’s not too much to the visual and it seems like it’s more to keep in the conversation and troll a little more. You can watch it below.

 Quavo Releases Chris Brown Diss Track ‘Over Hoes & Bitches’: Listen. Quavo did not hold back on any feelings he had towards rapper Chris Brown on his latest track, ‘Over Hoes & Bitches’. In a fiery response to some dirty dissing by Chris Brown, the Migos member clapped back with bars about his violence towards Rihanna and how Frank Ocean had him beat in an altercation. For the artwork, Quavo chose to proceed with an edited image of Chris Brown himself, choking a woman as another seems to hold him back. Except in this particular edit, it is Quavo at Brown’s neck. The rapper also warned Brown against ever bringing up Takeoff’s name up again, alluding to Brown’s bar about how Quavo should have died instead of him. To make the point clear, Quavo even used a Takeoff hook to drive the point across. The track was originally premiered on DJ Akademiks’ livestream, relevant portions of which can be accessed below.
