Ja Rule addressed an altercation aboard a commercial flight this week involving fellow rappers Tony Yayo and Uncle Murda, an incident that quickly migrated to social media. The disagreement occurred on a Delta flight traveling from San Francisco to New York. Accounts of what happened varied, but the exchange drew attention once the artists began posting publicly. The situation did not escalate beyond a brief intervention by airline staff. Posting on X, Ja Rule described the encounter in confrontational language. He portrayed the moment as both amusing and defiant, emphasizing that he was alone during the exchange. “I confronted these punks by myself on a plane lmao pssy ass n**s I threw the pillow at Yayo’s head ’cause you soft… [laughing emojis] knocked ya hat all off sht was hilarious…” he wrote. The post was widely circulated. Ja Rule later shared an email from TMZ that offered a different account. According to the report, witnesses said Ja Rule was loud and appeared to initiate the confrontation. The message said he threw a pillow at Yayo and was briefly removed from the aircraft before being allowed to continue his travel. Yayo denied any wrongdoing, noting that behavior on airplanes is closely monitored and that he did not escalate the situation. Via TMZ… Hi Ja — Jamie here from TMZ — reaching out for comment regarding a Delta flight you were on Sunday morning.

Ja was the aggressor and yelled profanities, saying he wanted… — Ja Rule (@jarule) February 10, 2026 50 Cent Weighs In as Plane Dispute Goes Public The exchange continued online when Ja Rule tagged Tony Yayo, Uncle Murda, and longtime rival 50 Cent. He ended the post with the line, “Whole team p*ssy…” The comment expanded the scope of the dispute beyond those on the flight. It also prompted additional responses. 50 Cent soon weighed in by sharing video footage of the incident on Instagram. He added commentary of his own, writing, “He was by himself so he had to make a scene so they could remove him scary ass. LOL Yayo said suck my d!ck, the gay stewardess said it’s going down. LOL” The video spread quickly across platforms. It drew further attention to the episode. In the clip, voices are raised as the plane prepares for departure. Afterward, Tony Yayo jokes about “the pillow Ja Rule threw at me,” while Uncle Murda comments on where Ja Rule was taken. The exchange appears tense but brief. Airline staff intervene before it goes further.

GloRilla finally broke her silence regarding the beef with her sister, ScarFace Woodz. In a recent Facebook Live, the rapper recalls the events that led up to the fallout with her sister and addresses the allegations that she abandoned her family. Over the past few weeks, the pair have been in an intense back-and-forth online. The rapper’s sister—whose real name is Victoria—sent social media into a tailspin after claiming the Memphis native abandoned her family and wasn’t supporting their parents—a claim which Glo vehemently denied. According to the “Yeah, Glo” rapper, her sister has caused her significant grief over the years. GloRilla claims her sister has tried to shoot her and set her up in the past, which is why their relationship deteriorated. She even alleges that she was thrown in jail for a week because of the actions of her sister. GloRilla calls her parents while on Facebook Live to clear the air pic.twitter.com/rjAxNFCQvt — The Female Rap Room (@girlsinrap) February 10, 2026 “Keep My Family Out Of It,” GloRILLA SAYS “I ain’t gone talk about half the stuff you did, just leave it alone,” she said. “You doing you right now, keep doing you, [but] keep my family out of it, [and] keep me out of it…My people [that] I f—k wit, they straight.” Glo then proceeds to call her parents while on live. First, she facetimed her father, who noted that while he disagreed with Victoria’s actions, saying “she needs her a— whooped,” he still loves all his children. He also revealed that Glo has spoiled him with trips, cars, and money, among other things. Similarly, her mother claims she’s well taken care of and only worked at FedEx because she wanted to. However, it’s revealed during their conversation that after her sister went public with their family business, she was forced to resign. Not long after clips of live began to circulate online, ScarFace Woodz hopped on her Instagram Stories to address GloRilla’s remarks. “Aight, so y’all wanna get on this muthaf*cka and lie for Gloria?” She then proceeds to threaten to share a text message from their mother that would prove their relationship isn’t as close as it seems. “Now all the family business finna get out,” she said.

Interest in a collaboration between Drake and Lil Uzi Vert has lingered for years, fueled by brief mentions, live appearances, and circulating snippets. A song commonly known as “At The Gates” has been discussed since at least 2021, but it has never received an official release. As both artists have continued to expand their reach, the absence of the track has only sharpened curiosity. The connection between them, however, has been consistently public. That relationship was on display in 2023, when Drake invited Lil Uzi Vert to join him onstage at J. Cole’s Dreamville Festival and at another performance earlier in the year. Speaking to the crowd, Drake framed the moment as personal. “This is a family show,” he said, before referring to Uzi as his “actual, real-life brother.” He went on to describe regular check-ins between them, adding, “Whenever I find myself feeling low, I receive a message from him simply checking in. No hidden agendas, just a concern for my well-being. If you want to succeed in life, always reach out to your people.” Drake continued by reflecting on Uzi’s impact as an artist. “I love this guy so much. Not only are you one of the greatest artists of this era, but I’m thrilled to coexist with someone so innovative and brilliant.” The remarks reinforced the sense of mutual respect that has fueled expectations of a joint release. For fans, the comments suggested that collaboration was more a matter of timing than willingness. In this context, it is clear that Drake has fostered strong bonds with contemporary talent. The track resurfaced again in conversation in 2023, with some listeners speculating it might appear on Drake’s forthcoming Scary Hours EP. No confirmation followed, and the song remained unreleased. The lack of clarity opened space for speculation. Online frustration soon followed as many fans hoped for new music from Drake. Lil Yachty Pushes Back on Blame, Clears the Air on Delays and Uzi Rumors Some of that frustration was directed at Lil Yachty after a fan claimed he was responsible for the delay, writing, “It’s forever fck lil yachty because the world needed to hear this.” Yachty responded during a livestream, rejecting the claim outright. He said the issue stemmed from unresolved sample clearance tied to Whitney Houston’s “I Will Always Love You.” Addressing the accusation, he said, “Why the fck do you think I’m the reason this didn’t come out? Get off my d**k!” Notably, discussion of Drake’s involvement continued in fan circles. Yachty also addressed suggestions of tension with Lil Uzi Vert. He described a brief, accidental encounter the previous year that ended without conflict. “He was in the car, I opened the door, said my bad, and it turned out to be the wrong car. No issues here!” he said. The story appeared aimed at putting rumors to rest regarding both Uzi and Drake. For now, “At The Gates” remains unheard, its status unchanged. Fans continue to revisit old statements and performances in search of clues. Whether the track will ever be released remains uncertain. With every update, anticipation for something new from Drake persists.

Bad Bunny reached a new benchmark on Sunday night when his Super Bowl halftime show drew the largest audience in the event’s history. Nielsen figures put the viewership at 135.4 million, edging past the record set last year by Kendrick Lamar. Michael Jackson’s 1993 performance, long cited as a high-water mark, drew 133.4 million viewers. The numbers reflected the artist’s broad appeal across audiences. The set featured several of Bad Bunny’s best-known songs, including “Nueva Yol,” “Yo Perreo Sola,” and “Tití Me Preguntó.” The production leaned heavily on Puerto Rican influences, both in sound and staging. Guest appearances were woven throughout the performance rather than treated as headline moments. Lady Gaga joined him for “Die With a Smile,” while Ricky Martin appeared for “Lo Que Pasó a Hawaii.” Other familiar faces, including Cardi B, Alix Earle, Pedro Pascal, and Jessica Alba, appeared during the broadcast. The show emphasized movement and scale, favoring energy over narrative. Reaction online was immediate, with clips circulating widely across platforms. The audience response translated into record viewership. A Halftime Show That Sparked Debate Criticism followed alongside praise. President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social, calling the performance an “affront to the greatness of America.” He described the show as unclear and inappropriate for younger viewers. Around the same time, Turning Point USA promoted an alternative “All-American” halftime event featuring Kid Rock, Brantley Gilbert, Lee Brice, and Gabby Barrett. After the broadcast, Chris Brown added his own commentary online, suggesting the NFL should consider him for a future halftime show. His post implied he could offer a different kind of performance. The comment circulated briefly but drew no response from the league. The NFL has not announced plans for next year’s show. The reaction to Bad Bunny’s halftime appearance reflected how closely the event now intersects with broader cultural conversations. Record viewership suggested sustained interest, even as opinions varied. Halftime shows have become touchstones that extend well beyond football. This year’s performance underscored that role.

Claressa Shields addressed comments made by Jake Paul this week after his remarks about Bad Bunny circulated widely online. Paul, posting ahead of the Super Bowl LX halftime show, said he planned to “purposefully turn off” the performance and referred to the artist as a “fake American citizen.” The post drew swift reactions across social media. Claressa’s Shields response directly rejected both the language and the premise of the statement. Writing on X, Shields urged Paul to reconsider his words. “Please Jake, not today,” she wrote. “Puerto Ricans are not fake citizens. You would think that you of all people would support this as you have so many Puerto Rican women under your umbrella. What’s happening with ICE is terrible, and we shouldn’t want to see harm done to anyone who is part of America & a minority! Do better, Jake. This isn’t right.” Her Shields response was widely shared and drew support from other users. When another commenter attempted to minimize the issue, Shields reiterated her position. “If they are fake citizens like he stated they are. And regardless, too much is going on in the USA today to be spreading hate,” she wrote. She did not continue the exchange beyond that point. By doing so, Shields highlighted her focus on the broader implications of the remarks. Please Jake, not today. Puerto Ricans are not fake citizens. You would think that you of all people would support this as you have so many Puerto Rican women under your umbrella. What’s happening with ICE is terrible and we shouldn’t want to see harm done to anyone who is apart… https://t.co/c38DAYuXpr — Claressa Gwoat Shields (@Claressashields) February 9, 2026 From Halftime Show to Cultural Clash Paul’s comments were part of a longer message urging viewers to boycott the halftime show. In the same post, he framed the issue as a stand against corporate influence. “You are their benefit. Realize you have power. Turn off this halftime. A fake American citizen performing who publicly hates America. I cannot support that,” he wrote. The Shields controversy intensified criticism from several corners. Media figures also weighed in. The Kid Mero challenged Paul’s stance, questioning its sincerity and pointing to his recent boxing loss. He suggested the tone of the comments might have been different under other circumstances, referencing Paul’s defeat to Anthony Joshua. His remarks added to the Shields debate and growing pushback. Bad Bunny has spoken publicly about identity and belonging in recent years. At the Grammy Awards, he addressed the subject directly, saying, “We’re not savages, we’re not animals, we’re not aliens. We are humans, and we are Americans.” This Shields exchange continues to circulate online and highlights how cultural moments can quickly spill into broader debates.

After the final whistle of Super Bowl LX, 50 Cent offered a familiar kind of postgame commentary. The Seattle Seahawks defeated the New England Patriots, earning their second championship. As reactions spread across social media, the rapper and producer weighed in with a short video. His response leaned on humor rather than rivalry. Addressing Patriots fans directly, 50 Cent began with a mock apology. “Hey. Sorry, New England,” he said. “I know it’s tough to lose. Well, actually I don’t. But just because you lost the game doesn’t mean you have to lose the beef.” The line doubled as a promotion tied to his partnership with DoorDash, which rolled out a regional discount after the game. The video followed an announcement earlier in the week that 50 Cent would appear in a DoorDash social media campaign timed around the Super Bowl. In earlier promotional clips, he leaned into his online reputation. In one, he jokingly referred to himself as the “King of Trolls” while making light of fellow entertainer Diddy. The tone was consistent with how he has used social platforms for years. View this post on Instagram The Super Bowl proved it’s bigger than the game The night’s halftime show belonged to Bad Bunny, who delivered a performance watched by millions. His set included appearances from Cardi B and Pedro Pascal, with additional guest spots by Ricky Martin and Lady Gaga. At one point, Bad Bunny paused to honor his late uncle. A message displayed on a custom football read, “Together, we are America.” The evening reflected the way the Super Bowl has become as much a cultural event as a sporting one. Performances, promotions, and postgame commentary unfolded alongside the action on the field. Figures like 50 Cent moved easily between entertainment and advertising. By the end of the night, the game had already given way to conversation.

Amid preparing for Super Bowl LX, Stefon Diggs is facing a new bombshell lawsuit. According to court documents obtained by TMZ, Diggs faces allegations of defamation, assault, and more. In the suit, the accuser, a concierge consultant, claims he’d help arrange the transportation of Diggs’ Ferrari from Miami to New York and then to Houston. However, in July 2024, their relationship deteriorated when the car was stolen while en route to Houston. Despite the incident being confirmed by police officials, the man claims the Patriots’ wide receiver began spreading rumors that he’d stolen the Ferrari—an allegation the man vehemently denies. Not long after, the man claims that people in Diggs’ circle started publicly approaching him in restaurants. He alleges that he’d been ordered to return any prior gifts that Diggs bought him.

(Photo by Chris Graythen/Getty Images) Diggs Allegedly Arranged An Assault On A Man Back In December 2025 Per court documents, Diggs acknowledged his involvement via text and admitted he’d, in fact, been “responsible and accountable” for the actions of the people in his circle. In another shocking allegation, the man claims that back in December 2025, he was assaulted in a Miami restaurant by two of Diggs’ goons. The man also claimed that Diggs’ brother, NFL player Trevon Diggs, was also present and didn’t intervene. The incident resulted in him suffering a torn ACL, among other injuries. Along with defamation, the man is suing Diggs for engaging in civil conspiracy. He also claims that Diggs is “vicariously liable” for the actions of the people in his inner circle. The man is going after the football player and others for damages; however, the amount he’s suing for has yet to be revealed. Trevon has also been named as a defendant in the suit.

T.I. has never been one to back down from a challenge. So it shouldn’t be a surprise that he fired back at 50 Cent, who trolled him after he insinuated he could beat him in a Verzuz challenge. On Saturday (Feb.7), T.I. hopped on Instagram, sharing a video of him rapping over his “Let Em’ Know” track, while surrounded by his family as they prepared for dinner. It’s clear that T.I. isn’t bothered by 50 Cent’s actions and is still ready to go head-to-head in a Verzuz. The Atlanta native also made it clear he isn’t running away from his past. “@50cent I don’t fear my past I’m too focused on the future. Top 20 in 2 weeks & climbing. Now #LetemKnow THAT!!! I’m LOVED not LIKED. #MyGodDontPlayBoutMe,” the post’s caption read. View this post on Instagram 50 Cent Epically Trolls T.I. With Old Court Footage After Verzuz Callout Earlier that day, 50 Cent shared a video of what appears to be T.I. testifying on the stand. In the clip, T.I. identifies the body of a dead man named Phil, as well as details the process of calling his family to inform them of his death. “No, no, I don’t like it No verses, let’s do (The stay away challenge ) and stay away from me. LOL @50centaction,” Fif wrote in the post’s caption. A day prior, Fif shared another video of T.I. in a promotional ad for Crime Stoppers Atlanta. “I know Atlanta pick and choose who they support, but yall gotta do better. LOL keep my name out ya mouth ! @bransoncognac,” the post’s caption read. It seems safe to say that Verzuz won’t be happening anytime soon.

Cameras recently spotted Cardi B sharing quite an interesting interaction with a humanoid robot. On Saturday (Feb.7), the rapper was spotted by paparazzi cameras outside the Intercontinental Hotel San Francisco. In front of the building stood a robot, which Cardi immediately ran over to. While making a few raunchy poses for the camera, she appeared to lose her footing. Not long after, she and the machine went tumbling down. A group of people ran over to help the rapper regain her footing. Cardi B was a good sport about the incident, laughing it right off. Later in the evening, the rapper was spotted at the Fanatics’ annual Super Bowl party. Cardi B fell to the floor after a humanoid robot launched at her after she called it her man. pic.twitter.com/K3P7x3ZGX4 — Rain Drops Media (@Raindropsmedia1) February 8, 2026 Cardi B Emerges as Front-Runner to Share Stage With Bad Bunny at the Super Bowl In other news, speculation has increasingly centered on whether Cardi B will appear during the Super Bowl’s entertainment programming. The rapper, who has spoken in the past about wanting a Super Bowl moment, has become a frequent point of discussion in betting markets. Several sportsbooks now place her near the top of their projections. The attention reflects her visibility rather than any formal announcement. BetOnline currently lists Cardi B as the leading favorite, assigning odds of -200. Rauw Alejandro and Karol G follow at +125, with Marc Anthony listed at +200. Further down the board are Travis Scott (+400), Jennifer Lopez (+500), and Rosalia (+600). The spread suggests that while several artists remain in contention, Cardi B stands apart in current forecasts. Other platforms echo that assessment. According to figures cited by Forbes, Polymarket estimates a 56 percent chance that Cardi B will appear alongside Bad Bunny. Kalshi places the probability higher, at 63 percent.
