John Cena Makes History: 17-Time WWE Champion With a Little Help From Travis Scott

History was rewritten at WrestleMania 41 as John Cena shattered records, becoming WWE's first-ever 17-time champion—but the path there was pure chaos. Cena faced off against Cody Rhodes in a brutal showdown at Allegiant Stadium, a match packed with high drama, hard hits, and a surprise twist nobody saw coming.

Midway through the battle, none other than Travis Scott made his way to the ring, tipping the scales in Cena's favor. After Rhodes seemed poised to capture the win, Travis attacked the referee, setting off a chain reaction. Rhodes got his revenge by dropping Travis with a Cross Rhodes, but the damage was already done. In a savage finish, Cena hit a low blow, clocked Rhodes with the championship belt, and secured the historic pin.

At 47, Cena announced this victory as part of his farewell tour, making the moment even more legendary. Fans are buzzing, critics are debating, and Travis Scott? He's probably still trying to figure out what just happened.

Drake Fires Back at UMG: 'He Knows Exactly What He Asked For'

The legal battle between Drake and Universal Music Group just hit another level of chaos, and it’s crystal clear—Drake isn't playing defense.

After UMG tried to intimidate the 6 God with a "be careful what you wish for" warning regarding his defamation lawsuit, Drake’s legal team came out swinging. In a bold statement, Drake's reps labeled UMG’s move a desperate attempt to "spin the narrative" and accused the label of exploiting artists for corporate profit.

Drake claims he's simply demanding the truth and accountability—and he’s ready to expose everything. With discovery now proceeding in New York, he’s calling for top execs like Lucian Grainge and John Janick to testify under oath. The lawsuit even ropes in Kendrick Lamar’s censored Super Bowl performance as evidence that Drake's reputation was unfairly tarnished.

The war of words shows no signs of slowing down. One thing is clear: Drake knows exactly what he’s asking for, and UMG better be ready to answer.

NLE Choppa Launches Children's Book, Spreads Kindness in Memphis

NLE Choppa is rewriting the narrative—literally. In a heartfelt return to his hometown of Memphis, the 21-year-old rapper introduced his first children's book, Cricket Stop Cricking, to a group of preschoolers at Porter-Leath Preschool.

The book carries a simple but powerful message: kindness is key. During the read-along, Choppa kept the vibe warm and genuine, showcasing a side far removed from the hard-hitting tracks that made him a star. "There’s always a message in children’s movies and books," he said. "That message is clear, simple, and intentional."

His leap into children's literature is part of a broader evolution. Earlier this year, Choppa faced scrutiny over a controversial photo shoot but made it clear: confidence in yourself is not up for debate. Through Cricket Stop Cricking, Choppa sends a new kind of message—one rooted in empathy, resilience, and authenticity.

From viral rapper to children's author, NLE Choppa is showing that real strength is in owning every part of your story.

VIBE CHECK

Slow progress is still progress!

Neon Carnival Reigns Supreme at Coachella Weekend: Celebs, Chaos & Carnival Vibes

When Coachella weekend hits, everyone knows the music is just the warm-up. The main event? Neon Carnival. Tucked away in Thermal, California, the desert’s most coveted late-night bash went down again—bigger, brighter, and bolder than ever. Curated by nightlife visionary Brent Bolthouse, Neon Carnival transformed the Desert International Horse Park into a glowing wonderland of carnival rides, games, and wall-to-wall celebrity cameos.

From Paris Hilton twirling in LED lights to Wiz Khalifa and Jhené Aiko catching the vibe, the A-list energy was undeniable. Lori Harvey, Teyana Taylor, Anderson .Paak, and a fleet of familiar faces showed up for the madness. Even the OGs like Too Short and Sheck Wes were spotted soaking it all in. The Ferris wheel was iconic, the energy was electric, and the night? Pure Coachella after-dark magic.

If you missed it, just know: this is where Coachella’s cool kids really play.

Post Malone Ignites Coachella with Fiery, Genre-Bending Headline Set

Post Malone pulled zero punches and brought every bit of heart to his Coachella 2025 headliner moment—and it was worth every beat. Nearly ten years since "White Iverson" dropped, the artist who defies definition delivered a set that balanced country, hip-hop, and pure grit.

Kicking off with "Texas Tea" from his Austin album, Post introduced a show that wasn't just a recap of hits, but a reflection of growth. With a nine-piece band behind him and a makeshift F1 racetrack slicing through the crowd, the experience was immersive, gritty, and full of intentional chaos. Pyro-lit trash cans? Check. Fog machines so thick you couldn't see him? Absolutely. But maybe that was the point: to hear the music, not just watch the spectacle.

He performed hits across his catalog—"Wow," "Lemon Tree," "Wrong Ones"—but didn’t bring out any guest features. Instead, he turned the spotlight inward, thanking fans and shutting down the haters. "No one can f—ing stop you," he shouted, over and over, with a mix of pain and pride. It was the mantra of an artist who’s evolved far past the doubters.

Coachella saw a full-circle moment for Post Malone. And he drove it home at full speed.

Drake Drops Album Hints, Kendrick Shade, and Boxing Talk in Viral Stream

Drake has mastered the art of moving the culture without ever stepping on stage—and this weekend was no different. While Coachella owned the desert, Drake took over the digital streets with a livestream alongside Adin Ross that had fans glued to their screens.

Mid-laughs and cash giveaways, Drizzy dropped serious heat: a solo album is officially in the works. While his collab with PartyNextDoor still sits comfortably on the charts, Drake is pivoting to a personal project he teased as something deeper and sexier. But he didn’t stop there. When Adin brought up Kendrick Lamar, Drake didn’t name names—but the smirk, bot accusations, and lawsuit chatter said everything.

In a hilarious twist, talk of boxing (sparked by YK Osiris’ recent fight) had them both cackling at the idea of a Drake vs. Kendrick bout. The kicker? Drake said it wouldn’t be for cameras—just a quiet throwdown in a gridiron gym. And to really flex? He gave away $1K each to viewers just for tuning in.

Drake’s not waiting for the summer to heat up—he’s already got the internet on fire.

50 Cent Has Shocking Reaction To Diddy Trying To Hire ASAP Rocky’s Lawyer Joe Tacopina

Diddy’s legal saga just took another headline-worthy twist. Reports say he attempted to recruit Joe Tacopina, the high-profile attorney best known for helping ASAP Rocky avoid jail time. Tacopina’s client list reads like a tabloid timeline—Meek Mill, Donald Trump, Michael Jackson. Even 50 Cent chimed in, saying if Diddy pulled it off, he might actually beat the case. But no dice. Tacopina shut the door—not out of doubt, but due to scheduling. In a candid VladTV interview, Tacopina shared that the timing doesn’t align, even though he sees potential in Diddy’s defense. According to him, the entire case hinges on consent, not scandal. With jury selection already underway and the trial clock ticking, Diddy’s scramble for elite representation continues. One thing’s for sure: the courtroom drama is heating up and 50’s already tuned in.

Ty Dolla $ign Says His Coachella Set Will Be as Big as Beyoncé's

Ty Dolla $ign has his sights locked on Coachella greatness, and he’s not being subtle about it. In a recent convo with TMZ, the singer revealed he’s crafting his performance to rival none other than Beyoncé’s iconic 2018 Coachella takeover. Yes, that Beyoncé.

His dedication is already showing—he left a joint birthday/USC commitment celebration for top football recruit Deshonne Redeaux just to hit Coachella rehearsals. Ty performed alongside 310 Babii and Joe Moses that night, but it’s clear his eyes are set on that desert stage. He’s pulling out all the stops, channeling Bey’s energy and vision. Coachella 2025 could be a milestone moment for him—and fans better be ready to witness history in the making.

Drake and UMG’s 'Not Like Us' Lawsuit Trial Could Last Three Weeks: 'Settlement Discussions Have Not Taken Place' 

Drake’s feud with Kendrick Lamar is making the leap from hip-hop headlines to courtrooms. The rapper’s legal team confirmed that no settlement talks have happened between him and Universal Music Group in the wake of Lamar’s Grammy-winning diss track “Not Like Us.” The scathing single accused Drake of being a pedophile and fueled backlash that reportedly included a shooting at his home and vandalism of his businesses. Lamar doubled down with a censored version of the track during the most-watched Super Bowl halftime show in history. Drake’s lawsuit argues that UMG is liable for continuing to publish and promote the song despite the fallout and the artist’s warnings. Meanwhile, fans suspect Drake’s latest music video “Nokia” might be a slick response—mirroring Lamar’s visuals and choreography. With a jury trial set to span three weeks in New York, the line between hip-hop diss and defamation is about to be tested like never before.

Cardi Talks, Richey Charged, Kendrick Reigns : The Rewind For April 8th

Vibe Check

Tired of being overworked, underpaid, and told to “just be grateful”? You’re not alone.

Real Boston Richey Hit With Felony Charges For Allegedly Choking Girlfriend 20 Times

Real Boston Richey is making headlines for all the wrong reasons. The Florida rapper is now facing a serious felony family violence charge following disturbing allegations from his pregnant girlfriend, Tatiana Chanell. According to court documents, the assault occurred after a night at Sekai nightclub in Houston, where video had already gone viral showing Richey snatching her phone. But what wasn’t seen in the clip was the alleged two-hour nightmare that followed—Tatiana claims Richey choked her around 20 times, leaving her unconscious and gasping for air.

Worse yet, she was reportedly two months pregnant at the time, and two other people were present during the entire incident. The violence only stopped when a mutual friend stepped in. Richey’s relationship with Tatiana had already been under scrutiny, with widespread claims she was underage when their relationship began. Though Richey denied those rumors, the facts remain murky—especially when she celebrated a “legal” birthday just months ago.

As this case unfolds, the questions mount. Will there be justice for Tatiana? Or will this be another instance of fame shielding abuse?

Cardi B Asserts New Album Will Be Better Than 'Invasion Of Privacy'

Cardi B is stirring the pot—and the music world is hungry for it. The Grammy-winning rapper recently told fans on X Spaces that her sophomore album might just eclipse her diamond-certified debut Invasion of Privacy. “I know IOP is one of the best albums ever, but I really think my second album is beating it,” she said, before reeling it back with a laugh.

While the official release date remains under wraps, Cardi’s energy screams album mode. She’s been teasing powerhouse features, including both familiar faces and surprise newcomers. “I don’t have a lot of features,” she shared, “but the ones I do have are gonna really surprise y’all.”

Trademark filings from her company hint at potential album names like Defamation of Character, Intrusive Thoughts, or Am I The Drama?—setting the stage for another culture-shifting rollout. With her third child arriving last year and studio sessions ramping up ever since, all signs point to a 2025 drop that’s got fans foaming at the mouth.

Kendrick Lamar & SZA Are Still On Top As "luther" Officially Enjoys Seventh No. 1 Billboard Week

Kendrick Lamar and SZA are unstoppable right now. Their collaboration “luther” just locked in its seventh straight week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, making it the longest reign for both artists. The song’s rise was a slow burn, but its grip on the charts has been unrelenting. Even with heavy hitters like Drake gaining ground—his track “NOKIA” just surged to No. 3—“luther” holds the crown.

The track’s success is also boosting Kendrick Lamar’s GNX album, which is now double-platinum eligible in the U.S. That’s over 2 million album-equivalent units moved—and counting. Other singles like “hey now,” “peekaboo,” and “squabble up” continue to show legs, but “luther” is clearly the star.

Fans won’t have to wait long to see it live—the Grand National stadium tour with Kendrick, SZA, and opener Mustard kicks off in Minneapolis soon before hitting major cities across North America and Europe. Expect fireworks, energy, and moments that redefine live hip-hop.

Fyre Festival 2 Organizer Billy McFarland Shares Planning Timeline amid Reports That the Event Is Not Happening

Billy McFarland, the infamous architect of the 2017 Fyre Festival disaster, is back with Fyre Festival 2, and the drama is hotter than ever. McFarland claims the festival is locked in for late May to early June 2025 in Playa del Carmen, Mexico. But here's the twist — the local government says it’s not happening. In fact, both Playa del Carmen and Isla Mujeres (where McFarland previously claimed the fest would take place) have outright denied any official involvement.

Despite that, McFarland dropped a barrage of alleged permits and receipts online, hoping to prove the festival is moving forward. There's even a $1 million ticket package floating around. Yet, no artist lineup has been announced, and the skepticism is sky-high. The original Fyre Festival famously collapsed into a social media nightmare, complete with disaster tents, no food, and no performers — spawning two documentaries and a massive lawsuit.

With Fyre Festival 2 teetering between reality and delusion, fans and critics alike are glued to the unfolding circus. Is this redemption or just another scam?

Jack Black's A Minecraft Movie Beats His Super Mario Bros. Movie to Set New Box Office Record

 Jack Black just mined his way into movie history. A Minecraft Movie is officially the biggest video-game adaptation debut of all time, raking in an insane $157 million domestically and $301 million globally in its opening weekend. That’s enough to knock The Super Mario Bros. Movie — another Jack Black hit — right off its pixelated throne.

The film features Black as Minecraft legend Steve, teaming up with Jason Momoa, Emma Myers, and Danielle Brooks for a blocky, bizarre adventure through the Overworld. Directed by Jared Hess (Napoleon Dynamite, Nacho Libre), the movie is equal parts absurd, creative, and action-packed — a perfect tribute to the limitless world of the Minecraft game.

Jack Black’s hot streak doesn’t end at the box office. He just returned to SNL for the first time in two decades, reminding everyone why he’s still one of the most versatile entertainers on the planet. Whether he's breathing fire as Bowser or crafting his way through creepers, Black stays winning.

Today in Hip-Hop History: DJ Jazzy Jeff And The Fresh Prince Released Their Debut 

Today marks 37 years since DJ Jazzy Jeff and The Fresh Prince blessed the culture with their debut album Rock The House. Released on April 7, 1987, via Jive/RCA, the project was a landmark moment not just for Philly hip-hop, but for the entire genre.

The duo — Will Smith and Jeff Townes — brought a fresh perspective to the game: humorous, high-energy, and polished. From the storytelling brilliance of “Girls Ain’t Nothing But Trouble” to their historic performance at NYC’s infamous Union Square, Rock The House showed the world that clean rap didn’t mean soft rap. They could rock a crowd, dodge boos, and still stay true to their identity.

This debut set the tone for their Grammy-winning success, groundbreaking TV careers, and enduring cultural impact. Will and Jeff were pioneers of positivity, and Rock The House was the blueprint.
