Earlier this week, Atlanta’s Live 5 News reported that after a nearly two-month investigation, an arrest has been made in connection with the theft of Beyoncé’s hard drives. According to police officials, the alleged thief, Kelvin Evans, had been serving time in jail regarding a parole violation. Since being linked with the alleged theft, Evans now faces a charge of entering an automobile with intent to commit theft, Live 5 reports. Back in July, a choreographer and dancer for Beyoncé revealed that a rental car they were using had been broken into. An incident report taken by police confirmed that inside the vehicles were at least five jump drives. These drives contained “watermarked music, some unreleased music, footage plans for the show, and past and future set lists.” INDIO, CA – APRIL 14: Beyonce Knowles performs onstage during 2018 Coachella Valley Music And Arts Festival Weekend 1 at the Empire Polo Field on April 14, 2018 in Indio, California.

The incident report also contains a description of the vehicle — a 2025 Hyundai Elantra with Georgia plates. Security cameras in the parking garage also captured the incident. The next day, the vehicle’s owner was later contacted by police. They revealed they were renting the car out to “help pay bills,” the report said. Not long after, the police quickly tracked down the vehicle and eventually found the driver. A woman told police she’d picked up the Elantra from her mother, who’d rented the car from the owner. The woman would later be taken into custody for marijuana possession. She would also tell police that Evans, who happens to be her uncle, had asked her to pick him up. He reportedly told her that he needed to use the car to go to a “friend’s house.” Upon his return, the vehicle had four black bags inside it. Evans’ niece said he told her to meet him at her aunt’s apartment to drop off the bags. Evans, his niece, and a small child were later caught on surveillance cameras removing bags from the car. He returned to the car later that night and put a black bag in the trunk. Then he left on a bicycle.

According to reports, Interscope Records is shelving singer d4vd’s deluxe album, Withered, and has halted all promotional material. Earlier this month, it was reported that the singer had been linked to an LAPD investigation into a missing 15-year-old girl, Celeste Rivas, who was found butchered in a Tesla vehicle registered in his name. On Friday (Sept.19), sources close to the situation confirmed with TMZ that Interscope’s parent company, Universal Music Group, has hit the pause button on all promotional materials set to accompany the deluxe release of Withered, which dropped back in April — the project was slated to release on Sept.19.

This action has drawn significant attention amid the ongoing inquiry. Authorities reportedly confiscated a computer and several unidentified items over the course of several hours. However, investigators have not confirmed any direct link between the property, the car, or d4vd himself. The car was abandoned for two weeks at a Hollywood tow yard. Rivas, reported missing since April 2024, reportedly had a boyfriend named David—speculated to be d4vd. As the investigation developed, d4vd canceled his scheduled performance in Seattle, originally set for the day of the search. TMZ sources reported that the artist had traveled to Los Angeles earlier that day. Resurfaced tweets, leaked music, and social media speculation have added layers to the story, complicating his ongoing collaborative projects. Kali Uchis, for example, announced she would step away from a joint effort with d4vd, citing uncertainty surrounding the case. Amid these developments, allegations of grooming and inappropriate contact have surfaced. This intensifies scrutiny. d4vd has remained largely silent, aside from brief statements from his representatives and limited fan interactions.

Cardi B’s new album, Am I The Drama?, arrived with enormous expectations. It immediately delivered, earning platinum status on the day of its release. The certification reflects not only her commercial pull but also the anticipation built on the breakout success of earlier singles like “Up” and “WAP.” Tracks such as “Bodega Baddie” have already caught the attention of fans. Moreover, the record’s instant milestone points to a broader reach that extends well beyond individual favorites. The speed of the certification also highlights the shifting ways the music industry measures success. In a landscape dominated by streaming, the relevance of first-week sales continues to be debated. While some dismiss it as outdated, others defend it as a barometer of cultural influence. What is clear is that Cardi’s return has reignited conversation. This is about her standing in hip-hop and the scale of her audience. Whether the album’s staying power matches its opening impact will be tested in the weeks ahead. A Return to Rivalries The release also drew attention for revisiting an old feud. In a recent interview, Cardi addressed pointed lines aimed at BIA in her track “Pretty & Petty.” “You mentioned my kids trying to be cute. She did her little diss and it was trash… I felt inclined to address it. This is because everything on social media will eventually be visible to my children. When they grow up and see that BIA mentioned them, they’ll naturally want to know how I responded.” Her remarks underscored a determination to respond directly when family is drawn into public sparring. This stance reflects both her protectiveness and her candor as an artist. With Am I The Drama?, Cardi B has reaffirmed her ability to command both attention and momentum in a crowded field. Hip-hop has long thrived on rivalry, spectacle, and cultural debate. Her album contributes to that tradition while securing a milestone few artists achieve so quickly. For now, its platinum debut cements Cardi’s place at the center of the conversation. This is a reminder of her ability to blend commercial dominance with unflinching authenticity. Congratulations @iamcardib! Her brand new album #AmITheDrama? is out now and already RIAA certified Platinum, featuring the certified 9x Platinum hit #WAP and 5x Platinum #UP. @AtlanticRecords pic.twitter.com/LhnUb0Ua9Y — RIAA (@RIAA) September 19, 2025

Rumors surrounding 21 Savage and Latto’s alleged romance have heated up once again, thanks to a new lyric that fans are convinced is a not-so-subtle nod to the Atlanta rapper. On Hunxho’s newly released track “If Only” (Sept. 19), 21 Savage delivers a line that instantly caught listeners’ attention: “Ain’t no pullin’ out, she told me keep it in / I done fell in love with the cheetah print.” For many, the “cheetah print” reference felt like a direct connection to Latto, who has long embraced the bold pattern as part of her style, branding, and even merchandise. The lyric quickly ignited social media chatter, with fans speculating that 21 was finally hinting at the romance that has been rumored between the two stars for years. View this post on Instagram A post shared by The Shade Room (@theshaderoom) 21 Savage and Latto have been the subject of relationship rumors since 2020. The whispers only grew louder after the pair were reportedly spotted vacationing together, though neither artist has publicly confirmed anything. Latto has also been careful to keep her private life out of the spotlight, often dodging direct questions about who she’s dating. While fans see 21’s “cheetah print” bar as a wink toward Latto, neither he nor Latto has addressed the speculation head-on. For now, the buzz remains based on interpretation rather than confirmation. Still, the line adds fresh fuel to ongoing gossip about the two Atlanta heavyweights being more than just friends.

This month, 50 Cent announced he had secured the rights to the iconic film Paid In Full, with plans to adapt it into a premium television series in collaboration with Cam’ron. The announcement has reignited a longstanding rivalry between Cam’ron and Dame Dash, co-founder of Roc-A-Fella Records, now spilling into the courtroom. Dame Dash has filed a high-profile lawsuit against Cam’ron, seeking $300 million in damages, alleging a series of defamatory remarks he claims have harmed his business interests. In an Instagram post, Dash laid out his grievances: “I never hustled with @mr_camron; he’s a civilian. However, he’s meddling with my family office and causing discomfort for my wife and two sons.” He stressed his preference for legal resolution, adding, “I would never advocate violence, and I don’t wish harm upon those who care about me.” Dash concluded with a pointed note to the courts: “The courts will have to make a determination, as we conduct ourselves as businessmen,” while cryptically referencing potential property disputes. Cam’ron and Dash Escalate Feud Amid 50 Cent’s Latest Move Cam’ron responded swiftly, releasing the song When I See You alongside a music video that takes jabs at Dash, including playful references to his dental issues. The track underscores the heightened tension following 50 Cent’s announcement, with Cam’ron inviting collaborators to connect with him while 50 Cent is abroad. Fans familiar with Godfather of Harlem have expressed enthusiasm for the proposed adaptation. Dash retaliated publicly, targeting both 50 Cent and Cam’ron after learning of the project. Cam’ron later clarified that he had previously offered Dash a show on Revolt, provided he would serve as executive producer—a stipulation that reportedly triggered Dash’s backlash. The dispute underscores the complex interplay of artistry, personal relationships, and business in the hip-hop world. As legal proceedings move forward, industry observers and fans alike are watching closely, anticipating not only the outcome for the parties involved but also how this feud may shape broader cultural narratives within hip-hop and its enduring legacy.

Young Thug is set to make another mark on hip-hop with his fourth studio album, UY Scuti, now slated for September 26. Originally scheduled for release today, September 19, the rollout was postponed out of respect for fellow artist Cardi B. She is debuting her own project, Am I The Drama? Acknowledging the delay on Twitter, Young Thug wrote, “Y’all know I wasn’t dropping Friday. It’s a ladies day do yo s**t @iamcardib.” Cardi B responded in kind, offering encouragement: “And you better step next week …you got this, you know this!!” The exchange underscored a rare moment of mutual support in a genre often characterized by competition. Fans have been energized by the lead-up to the album, with Young Thug sharing snippets of new material. These have generated significant buzz online. One listener enthused, “This album finna go crazy,” while another wrote, “Ok this the thugga we been waiting for and needing.” The carefully timed previews have kept conversation alive. They are amplifying expectations for the full release. Young Thug Reveals Vulnerable Side Ahead of ‘UY Scuti’ Earlier this month, Young Thug dropped the introspective track Miss My Dogs. He confronted past controversies linked to leaked jail calls and addressed disputes with industry peers including Future, Metro Boomin, Lil Baby, and Gucci Mane. He also opened up about his personal life, apologizing to his girlfriend, Mariah The Scientist: “Baby, I’m sorry, one of my biggest fears is losing you to the internet.” The track offers a rare glimpse into his vulnerabilities, balancing bravado with candid reflection. Young Thug further reaffirmed his bond with Drake, writing, “Drizzy, you my brother. You know I ain’t goin’ against you, I got manners.” With UY Scuti now on the horizon, anticipation for Young Thug’s latest creative vision continues to mount. From personal revelations to tantalizing previews, he remains a compelling force in contemporary hip-hop. Fans are eager to experience the full scope of his artistry when the album finally arrives.

Anticipation is running high over the newly announced collaboration between Drake, one of hip-hop’s most influential figures, and IShowSpeed. The internet personality’s high-energy livestreams have made him a digital fixture. Their back-and-forth exchanges online have already pulled in millions. Moreover, the promise of a joint stream has become a point of fascination across both music and gaming circles. The partnership highlights a friendship that has quietly developed over the past few years. On a recent stream, IShowSpeed revealed plans for the two to go live together in Toronto. However, no date has been set. Even without specifics, the news spread quickly across social media. “This is going to be very interesting to see,” one fan commented. Another added simply, “LET’S GO!”—capturing the enthusiasm that has fueled the announcement. For many followers, the stream feels like a long-requested pairing. In 2023, Drake gave a glimpse into their rapport by posting behind-the-scenes clips from his “You Broke My Heart” video. IShowSpeed jumped into the comments with a tongue-in-cheek question: “How do I get b*tches like u?” Drake, with characteristic humor, shot back, “Stop barking at them off the rip; maybe just say something nice.” The exchange revealed both Drake’s dry wit and the eccentric energy that defines IShowSpeed’s appeal. Building Toward ICEMAN The livestream comes as Drake prepares his ninth studio album, ICEMAN. No release date has been confirmed. Early previews—including “Dog House” featuring Yeat and Julia Wolf, and “Which One” with Central Cee—have already sparked conversation. Speculation intensified when a leaked track, “National Treasure” with Pressa, began circulating online. Reports suggest it may ultimately be left off the project. The leak only deepened the sense of intrigue surrounding the album. The upcoming stream promises to blend music, humor, and the unpredictable energy of live internet culture. For fans, it’s a rare opportunity to watch the chemistry between two vastly different but equally influential figures play out in real time. As Drake builds toward another chapter in his career, the collaboration underscores how seamlessly he continues to bridge the worlds of music and digital entertainment.

The investigation surrounding the shocking discovery of a deceased teenager linked to d4vd continues to unfold. It reveals a complicated and troubling picture. Los Angeles police are now scrutinizing a home near a vehicle registered to the artist. Authorities recently located a body, and the circumstances have raised numerous questions. Both law enforcement and the public are trying to piece together the events. Late on September 17, officers executed a search at a Hollywood Hills residence. This action has drawn significant attention amid the ongoing inquiry. Authorities reportedly confiscated a computer and several unidentified items over the course of several hours. However, investigators have not confirmed any direct link between the property, the car, or d4vd himself. As the investigation developed, d4vd canceled his scheduled performance in Seattle, originally set for the day of the search. TMZ sources reported that the artist had traveled to Los Angeles earlier that day. Resurfaced tweets, leaked music, and social media speculation have added layers to the story, complicating his ongoing collaborative projects. Kali Uchis, for example, announced she would step away from a joint effort with d4vd, citing uncertainty surrounding the case. Authorities Investigate Teen’s Death Amid Alleged Ties to d4vd Authorities have identified the deceased as 15-year-old Celeste Rivas, whose body was discovered in a Tesla. The car was abandoned for two weeks at a Hollywood tow yard. Rivas, reported missing since April 2024, reportedly had a boyfriend named David—speculated to be d4vd. She may share a tattoo with the artist. Leaked songs referencing the connection have circulated online, thus fueling public conjecture. Amid these developments, allegations of grooming and inappropriate contact have surfaced. This intensifies scrutiny. d4vd has remained largely silent, aside from brief statements from his representatives and limited fan interactions. As investigators continue to examine evidence recovered from the recent home search, public attention remains acute. The coming weeks will be critical in shedding light on this deeply disturbing case. LAPD homicide detectives searched a house tied to D4vd in the m*rder of 15-year-old Celeste R., TMZ reports.

The collision of celebrity, internet culture, and the courts has entered another chapter with Megan Thee Stallion’s ongoing lawsuit against blogger Milagro Gramz. This case is now drawing Twitch streamer Adin Ross into its orbit. What began as a defamation case has expanded after an unusual effort to deliver Ross a subpoena. This has become a spectacle in its own right. Ross contends that process servers turned up at his home disguised as a mariachi band. They staged a performance outside his house before handing him the paperwork. Court filings reviewed by AllHipHop’s Grouchy Greg Watkins describes the tactic as unorthodox. Ross has accused Megan’s camp of trying to publicly embarrass him. Recounting the moment during a livestream with DJ Akademiks, Ross said, “They called a mariachi band to my house. A Mexican band, to perform outside my house so they could serve me the paper.” He added that his attorney quickly stepped in: “My lawyer is like, ‘Adin, just tell them to contact me,’” while noting that he was weighing the idea of livestreaming the deposition. Legal Stakes The subpoena traces back to Megan’s litigation against Gramz, rooted in accusations of defamation, harassment, and the spread of manipulated explicit images. Megan alleges that Gramz amplified false claims tied to Tory Lanez’s conviction for shooting her in the foot. Ross, however, has petitioned the court to quash the subpoena or issue a protective order. “The complaint doesn’t mention Ross at all. Without any legal or factual tie, requests like this are just harassment,” he argued in a recent filing. Ross’s involvement is underscored by his vocal support of Tory Lanez earlier this year. On one of his January streams, he declared, “Free motherf—ing Tory Lanez. And I will always stand by this statement — I don’t give a f—k where I’m at in life. Free Tory Lanez.” He later sharpened his criticism of Megan’s account of events, saying, “She got caught lying. She got caught lying in 4K.”

LeBron James is finally addressing the rumors about his friendship with Drake. In a recent interview with Complex, the Los Angeles Lakers star spoke carefully about where things stand between him and the Toronto rapper, choosing to keep his response positive. James made it clear that he still respects Drake, even if their bond isn’t as close as it once was. “Always wish him the best. Obviously, different places right now. He’s doing his thing. I’m doing mine. But, it’s always love for sure,” he said. He did not go deeper into what may have caused the distance between them. LeBron James spoke for the first time about where things stand with Drake after the Kendrick Lamar feud “Always wish him the best… obviously, different places right now, currently… but it’s always love for sure.” pic.twitter.com/D01M41loJF — Raphouse TV (RHTV) (@raphousetv7) September 18, 2025 The talk of tension first began in 2024, when James showed up at Kendrick Lamar’s Pop Out concert in Los Angeles. The show came in the middle of Lamar’s heated battle with Drake, following the release of diss records like “Euphoria” and “Not Like Us.” Fans quickly noticed James’ attendance and began to speculate that it signaled a break in his longtime friendship with Drake. Months after the concert, Drake released his “Fighting Irish Freestyle,” a move that many interpreted as a subtle swipe at James’ past. James played for St. Vincent–St. Mary in Akron, a team famously nicknamed the Fighting Irish. More fuel was added recently when Drake dropped his single “What Did I Miss?” with the lyric: “I saw bro went to Pop Out with them, but been d*ck riding gang since ‘Headlines.’” The line appeared to reference James’ support of Kendrick during the feud. Despite these apparent shots, neither side has given a clear explanation about what caused the rift. Drake has remained focused on his upcoming ninth studio album Iceman, which includes tracks like “Which One” with Central Cee and “Dog House” with Yeat and Julia Wolf. The album still has no official release date.
