Lil Wayne’s mixtape run is unmatched. However, many fans believe artists like Lil Baby and Lil Durk are mirroring what Wayne accomplished in the mid-aughts.

Reginae Carter’s putting an end to these conversations. Weezy’s first-born child shared a message on Twitter slamming anyone who thinks there’s another rapper who could even compare to what the New Orleans rapper’s accomplished in his lifetime.

“‘KEEP MY FATHER’S NAME OUT YA MOUTH,’” she tweeted, along with two laughing emojis. “Nah fr y’all need to stop comparing my dad to the new kids on the block .. gotta stop ! Everybody is super talented and dope ! Let them have their run and time will tell .. but leave that marathon Wayne ran out of it …”

She added, “Since 12 years old… come on man.”

Lil Wayne’s marathon of mixtapes leading to the release of Tha Carter III was undoubtedly a pivotal point in his career. Weezy became a leading voice in rap and a go-to feature for everyone in the game. Though he might not actively release music at the same pace today, Wayne remains one of the most prolific rappers to ever exist.

At the same time, Reginae’s comments come at a time when NBA Youngboy’s pumping out project after project, even more consistently than Lil Wayne. This morning, the Baton Rouge-bred rapper unveiled I Rest My Case, his sixth project since August (not including compilations).

Lil Wayne teased the release of Tha Carter VI last summer during his appearance at OVO Fest’s Young Money reunion. A pre-save link went up shortly after, though he hasn’t provided much of an update since. It seems possible that we could see the album drop at some point in 2023.

What do you think about Reginae Carter’s comments? Do you think the Weezy comparisons are fair? Let us know in the comment section below.

French Montana broke his silence following the shooting at Miami Gardens on Thursday night.

The rapper Coke Boys 6 was in Miami on Thursday night where many believed he was shooting visuals off of the project. Unfortunately, shots rang off, resulting in 10 injuries.

French issued a statement via TMZ where he stated that he was “at the wrong place at the wrong time.”

“Last night, I was in Miami celebrating the release of my CB6 mixtape w/ friends at a local restaurant,” the statement read. “We unfortunately were at the wrong place, at the wrong time when an incident took place that left people hurt. Our thoughts & prayers are w/ the victims & families at this time.”

The initial reports claimed that French Montana was shooting a video for a song off of Coke Boys 6, though his team denied that was the case. The rapper and his team were reportedly in Miami Gardens celebrating the release of CB6.

Police said 10 people were injured during the shooting, though French left the scene unscathed. However, the rapper Rob49 was reportedly struck by gunfire. Sources close to TMZ say that everyone who was injured is expected to recover.

Some argue that the monarchy is an entirely dated concept. Still, though, Britain’s Royal Family has spent an abundance of time in the headlines as of late. Following the emotional death of Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle dropped some bombshells in their Netflix docuseries at the end of 2022.

From the Suits actress’ confession that she didn’t feel as though anyone treated her “like a Black woman” until she moved to the UK to her friendship with Beyoncé, the six-episode project covers plenty of content. However, it didn’t get through everything the Duke and Duchess of Sussex had to say. Especially not the former, who’s been spilling plenty of juicy tea about his family in recent weeks.

Ahead of his Spare memoir, Prince Harry has been making rounds on the press circuit, discussing the upcoming book. Recently, he joined Anderson Cooper on 60 Minutes to discuss his work and upbringing. In the interview, the father of two reflects on the racism his wife faced from the British media.

Surprisingly, he had a personal realization to share with listeners at the same time. According to Haz, he, too, may have walked through life with racist feelings prior to meeting Markle.

“I had no idea the British press were so bigoted. Hell, I was probably bigoted before the relationship with Meghan,” he tells Cooper. Later, when asked how the American star has changed him, he sweetly said, “Put it this way. I didn’t see what I now see.”

While he’s clearly got all the praise for Markle, Harry’s older brother, Prince William hasn’t been getting as much love. According to Page Six, the younger royal takes a jab at the future King’s rapid hair loss in Spare. Apparently, he describes it as “alarming.”

Elsewhere in the book, the 38-year-old describes his sibling as his “archnemesis,” also breaking down a physical altercation they had during a confrontation about the former’s wife.

Read what Meghan Markle had to say about her friendship with Beyoncé in her and Harry’s Netflix docuseries here. Afterward, tell us if you plan to read the Prince’s forthcoming memoir (due out January 10) in the comments.

The beef between D.L. Hughley and Kanye West is well-documented. They seem unlikely to have tension, but following West’s anti-Semitic rants, Hughley came forward. The legendary comedian argued that if Kanye was a woman, he would be under conservatorship like Britney Spears.

In a new interview with VladTV, Hughley again tackles West’s controversies. “I really fault a lot of these people who are taking advantage,” he began. “Well, I can’t say they’re taking advantage.” However, he doesn’t understand why West’s team allows him to jump from one outlet to another, knowing he would make unhinged statements.

Vlad brought up West stating that his mother, Michael Jordan’s father, and Bill Cosby’s son were all sacrificed. He also detailed the circumstances surrounding Donda West’s untimely death following cosmetic surgery. Vlad claims he investigated the story, and it was far from a sacrifice.

“I think that—biblically, Lucifer was a cherub. He was—his name means Morning Star. Lucifer was beautiful and he was God’s minister of music,” Hughley replied. “He was exalted, and he was perfect. And Lucifer had seen God. He knew that he was created by him. But Lucifer was so charismatic and so talented, he talked other angels in trying to bum rush heaven.”

“If talent and charisma is so mesmerizing, so intoxicating, it can make angels rise up against God,” Hughley continued. “It can make us alter our understanding of things. We’ll start to believe things. That is the most dangerous thing about what’s going on here.”

“It says a lot that a man who loves Hitler and Trump, it says a lot that you love those two people. And it says even more that people are contorting themselves to make that make sense.”

Meanwhile, after declaring his admiration of Adolf Hitler, saying Nazis aren’t all bad, and repeatedly speaking negatively about the Jewish community, West has been silent. He has promised he will attempt the presidential nomination in 2024, and it’s expected that he will reemerge with the details of his campaign.

The architect of trap music is back with new heat. Zaytoven slid through with his new project, Only One this morning.

Zaytoven is clearly kicking off the year on the right note. And, it could be an indication of what else he has up his sleeve in 2023. The legendary producer, who played a pivotal role in Gucci Mane’s career, unveiled his new project Only One on Friday. Though it isn’t a full-length body of work, it’s a short effort that highlights Zay’s overall artistry. His production is still top-tier. But, fans who know him for making beats will have a better understanding of his overall skillset.

The rapper’s new project also showcases his kids’ talents as well. The project includes features from Kamari-Carter and Xhulooo.

Years after cementing his name in Atlanta’s scene, Zaytoven is undoubtedly keeping the momentum high. 2022 was another prolific year for the legendary producer that saw the release of Streetz Got No Heart. The project boasts 10 songs in total with appearances from Bun B, Trouble, Foolio, PeeWee Longway and more.

On top of that, the producer continued to produce for high-profile artists, such as long-time collaborator, Gucci Mane. Zay produced a large chunk of So Icy Boyz: The Finale, including GuWop’s “Letter To Takeoff.” He also had two production credits on Quavo and Takeoff’s Only Built For Infinity Links on the songs, “Look @ This” and “2.30.”

The Nike Air Max Plus is no stranger to the bold colorway, and this upcoming pair — which subtly harkens back to the classic’s debut year — is certainly no exception.

Far louder than many of the silhouette’s recent colorways in palette alone, this pair is primarily helmed by hot pinks and neon greens. The latter highlights the Air Units, lateral Swoosh, and adjacent branding, while the former paints not just the shank underfoot but also the base of the upper and tongue. Black, then, helps strike a balance between the two tonal standouts, dressing everything from the cage to the “TUNED AIR” graphic printed all across the profile.

For a closer look at this newly-revealed Nike Air Max Plus, check out the official images below. These should be hitting Nike.com and select retailers soon, so sit tight.

In other news, another Air Max 1 Shima Shima is expected to release this year.
