Regardless of the crimes that R. Kelly has been convicted of, his devoted fanbase will never stop listening to his music. The “#MuteRKelly” movement is still alive and well, albeit not as prevalent these days as they were during the Surviving R. Kelly time in television history. The disgraced music icon has topped the charts, toured the world, earned dozens of awards, and was one of the most respected musicians of his generation—but all of the acclaim came with scandal. 

Kelly managed to dodge prison time decades ago when he was accused of having sex with underage girls, but in recent years, new allegations have surfaced, resulting in a conviction.

As his current trial moves forward, Kelly’s influence was discussed on a this week’s episode of Drink Champswith B2K—or, should we say, B2K minus Omarion.

Raz-B, Fizz, and J-Boog caught up with the series and talked all things related to their career and the fallout with their missing member. During the conversation, the trio proudly mentioned Kelly’s reach in their development, with J-Boog saying, “He did every single on our second album. Clean flush, bro. And the remixes.”

Fizz slid in with, “And took all the publishing.” The comment made everyone laugh, but in the end, the singers didn’t mind missing out on publishing money because of just how much work Kelly put into their songs. 

Check out the clip of the group detailing their work with R. Kelly below.

Let’s face it, Drake is the man these days.

Whether it’s making hit records or swooning all the ladies, the 6 God is the man for the job. Throughout his career, Drizzy has been linked to women of every caliber. From A-list actresses’ and models, to Instagram’s cream of the crop. He even DM’d the wife of a social media troll who made fun of his son, Adonis. Needless to say, Drake has a way with the ladies. His newest alleged catch is 90 Day Fiancé star Chantel Everett.

According to the Daily Mail, the “Sticky” rapper has reportedly been pursuing Chantel since her split from husband Pedro Jimeno. A source claims that Drake “has been DMing” the 31-year-old reality star, adding, “Drake reached out to see how she was doing and where her head was at, and she responded. They’ve been DMing each other back and forth, and are planning to meet up soon.”

Although Chantel allegedly took some time to come around to the idea of linking up with father of one, a source added, “Drake has a way of wearing women down. They might not at first expect any romance with Champagne Papi but, before long, it always ends up that way.” Chantel and ex-husband Pedro, who met on season 4 on 90 Day Fiancè, split in May after Pedro filed for divorce, calling the six-year marriage “irretrievably broken.”

Drake hasn’t spoken publicly about his love life since dating model Johanna Leia last Summer. However he did spark dating rumors back in July after being spotted with YouTuber Suede Brooks. Drizzy has yet to confirm who he’s currently dating, but if reports are true, Chantel may be the new leading lady in the Certified Lover Boy‘s life.

It’s not uncommon for rappers to boast about their skills, but some have called out DDG for comparing himself to a boxing legend. Like several other entertainers from all facets of the industry, DDG has been easing into developing a formidable sports career. When he isn’t gushing about being in love with singer Halle Bailey or having her star in his music videos, the rapper is in training as he presses forward with his professional boxing aspirations.

We’ve reported on DDG’s fights that have proven successful, but there hasn’t been enough at this time to tell if longevity is in his future.

However, DDG isn’t wanting for confidence, because he made a declaration recently that turned heads. It appears that DDG is proud of how his boxing moves are shaping up.

“Skill wise, me & mayweather damn near neck & neck.. i should’ve went pro smh,” he tweeted. It didn’t take long for responses to roll in, and not everyone held to the same sentiment. Mayweather is hailed as one of the greatest fighters to enter the ring, and some believe it will take a lot more than a few fights to match his talent.

Yet, boxers and their bravado go hand in hand. Check out DDG’s tweet, one of his fights, and a few reactions below.

He’s one of the most successful and celebrated artists in music, so it comes as no surprise that Jay-Z stole the show on DJ Khaled’s God Did. The rapper’s appearance on the title track is still a conversation piece in and outside of Hip Hop, and recently, The Joe Budden Podcast debated where those bars stood in comparison to the entirety of the Roc Nation mogul’s catalog. We’ve been sharing reactions from both the public and Hov’s peers as the rapper’s rhymes are picked apart word for word, but despite the praise, Budden doesn’t believe this is Hov’s best.

His co-host stood ten toes down that Jay’s “God Did” inclusion topped anything he’s done before, but Budden plainly responded by saying, “It’s not.”

It was argued that “the more you listen to it,” the more the verse’s complexities are made clear. “It’s a phenomenal verse, he’s phenomenal,” said Budden, who was still unmoved by his co-hosts. “It’s not a… It’s not.”

MSNBC’s Ari Melber added his voice to those dissecting Jay-Z’s “God Did” bars in a recent segment, and it captured the attention of LeBron James who fired off a tweet mentioning, “HOV DID!” It apparently warranted a response from the rapper, who made a rare appearance on Twitter with a quoted retweet.

“My only goal is to make the real ‘ones’ feel seen,” wrote Jay. “Forgive me that’s my passion talking ….. haa.” Do you think this is Jay-Z’s best verse? If not, which bars are better?

When NBA YoungBoy sees something, or someone, that he likes, he’s going for it.

Although the Baton Rouge rapper’s relationship status is never quite clear, he’s never shy about posting photos the mothers of his children when they’re around him. Back in February, he shared an adorable family photo of himself alongside girlfriend Jazlyn Michelle and their baby girl, just months before spending time with Yaya Mayweather and their baby boy KJ (Yaya’s first child, Youngboy’s seventh child). 

Paternity life aside, the “Lonely Child” rapper is still out here shooting his shout at his famous peers. After Kehlani posted a slew of sexy photo to her Instagram page, YoungBoy wasted no time hopping in the comment section. “Cariño,” he wrote, which means “Sweetheart” in Spanish. Kehlani, who is currently in a relationship with partner 070 Shake, has yet to responded to the flirty comment. The Grammy nominated songstress, who is currently on the road for her Blue Water Road Trip tour, opened up about her relationship with Shake back in June after celebrating their 25th birthday. 

“Six years of friendship and almost one year of love. Nothing I say in a caption could explain or compare. You’re one in a million, Dani. I love you, my very best friend,” Kehlani shared on Shake’s birthday. As for NBA YoungBoy, fans think he’s back on with Yaya after she posted a photo of herself in the same room that the rapper once flicked it up in. “Feels so good to be back home [white heart emoji],” Yaya wrote.
