Rick Ross, the rapper and entrepreneur celebrated for his luxurious lifestyle and business ventures, has put his Southwest Ranches, Florida, estate on the market. While stepping away from this Florida property, the Mississippi-born mogul continues to maintain a sprawling residence in Georgia. This highlights the breadth of his multi-state real estate holdings. Earlier this month, Ross listed his 14,000-square-foot estate through Sotheby’s International Realty. Situated in the prestigious Landmark Ranch Estates, the home occupies 2.348 acres of meticulously landscaped grounds. It blends high-end comfort with spaces designed for entertainment. The estate offers a range of premium features: A private entrance leading to the residence Resort-style swimming pool ideal for gatherings Covered summer kitchen for outdoor cooking Expansive patios designed for entertaining Soundproof theater and custom bar Multiple office spaces plus a separate 2-bedroom guest house Car enthusiasts will note the porte-cochère and a 9-car garage. The primary suite includes a bespoke closet, sitting area, bonus room, and spa-like bathroom. Over four years of ownership, Ross has upgraded the home. This includes a 2023 roof replacement and even embedding a Rolls-Royce emblem into the driveway. These changes reflect his affinity for luxury automobiles.

He also owns a mansion on Star Island in Miami Beach, purchased in 2023. Meanwhile, he continues to reside in his Georgia estate, “The Promise Land.” This grand residence features 109 rooms and the largest residential swimming pool in the United States. It ranks among the nation’s most impressive single-family homes. Beyond real estate, Ross has recently been part of broader conversations in hip-hop regarding apologies and reconciliation. Gucci Mane publicly expressed regret for negative comments made in 2013, attributing them to a challenging period in his life. Reflecting on Ross’s response, Gucci said: “I was super embarrassed and hurt by the things I said,” Gucci recalled, noting that Ross’s acceptance provided relief. “It was like a weight off my shoulders,” he added, emphasizing the importance of mending personal relationships within the music industry.

As Drake approaches his 39th birthday, the Canadian rapper continues to dominate the music industry with a string of record-breaking achievements. His upcoming album, ICEMAN, slated for release before 2025, adds to a discography that has consistently set benchmarks for both sales and cultural influence. On October 24, coinciding with his birthday, the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) announced that Drake now holds the record for the most diamond-certified songs by any artist. This is a reflection of his enduring appeal. Diamond certification requires 10 million equivalent units sold. His newest additions include hits like “Passionfruit,” “The Motto” featuring Lil Wayne, “Nonstop,” “Headlines,” and “Nice For What.” In addition, Drake’s seminal album Take Care also earned diamond status. This brings his total to 15 diamond singles and 16 overall diamond-certified records. Previous chart-toppers such as “Best I Ever Had,” “God’s Plan,” and “SICKO MODE” with Travis Scott contributed to this unparalleled achievement. All of Drake’s new RIAA certifications, updated on his birthday: Take Care (Diamond) Views (9x Platinum) Nothing Was the Same (7x Platinum) If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late (5x Platinum) For All The Dogs (3x Platinum) Nonstop (Diamond) Passionfruit… pic.twitter.com/UCLy1GcDf7 — Kurrco (@Kurrco) October 24, 2025 Drake’s Multi-Platinum Reign Continues Drake’s commercial impact extends well beyond diamond certifications. Albums like Views have achieved nine-times platinum status. Nothing Was the Same reached seven-times platinum. Meanwhile, If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late earned five-times platinum. His most recent release, For All The Dogs, has already been certified three times platinum. His singles continue to perform strongly. Collaborations such as “Rich Flex” with 21 Savage reached five-times platinum. “Chicago Freestyle” with GIVĒON and “Rich Baby Daddy” with Sexyy Red and SZA have been certified five-times and three-times platinum, respectively. Furthermore, tracks like “Hours In Silence” and “Virginia Beach,” also with 21 Savage, each earned two-times platinum recognition. As excitement builds for ICEMAN, Drake’s milestone achievements highlight both his artistic growth and the loyalty of his fan base. Each record-breaking moment underscores his lasting influence. It sets the stage for what promises to be another defining chapter in his career.

NBA YoungBoy has announced that he and his wife, Jazlyn Mychelle, are expecting their third child together—a revelation that surfaced on his new album, MASA. The news quickly drew attention, arriving at a time when the rapper continues to balance a career marked by success and controversy with the realities of a large and complex family life. In the track “If You Need Me,” YoungBoy drops the line, “Me and Jaz on our third kid, me and you just ran another lap.” The lyric, subtle yet striking, signals both personal joy and continuity for the 25-year-old artist. Their upcoming child marks his thirteenth overall—a milestone that adds another layer to his already storied public persona. On social media, Jazlyn has shared quiet glimpses of her pregnancy; her growing baby bump met with warm reactions from fans. The Baton Rouge native’s family life has often mirrored the turbulence and triumphs of his music. YoungBoy reportedly fathers twelve children with ten women, including his first son, Kayden, born when he was just sixteen. He shares other children with Yaya Mayweather and Jania Meshell, among others—relationships that have often played out under the glare of public scrutiny. Yet despite constant headlines and speculation, those close to him describe a devoted father intent on keeping his family close. View this post on Instagram A post shared by XXL (@xxl) NBA YoungBoy embraces renewal onstage and at home Away from the personal spotlight, YoungBoy has returned to performing, taking MASA on the road with shows in New Orleans and beyond. His recent appearances have sparked rumors about performance restrictions in Louisiana, though the New Orleans Police Department clarified that concert decisions remain strictly between the artist’s management and local venues. For NBA YoungBoy, the announcement marks more than another addition to his family—it reflects a period of renewal. Between the lyrical introspection of MASA and the stability he’s building with Jazlyn Mychelle, the rapper appears to be stepping into a new phase of life, one grounded in both evolution and endurance.

Miguel is not shy about his love of psychedelics. During a recent interview with Bootleg Kev, Miguel shared his best and worst trips on the substances. “We love psychedelics,” adding that he’s had “mostly good trips.” “The best ones are always outside, though,” Miguel explained. “Either by water or in the forest kind of vibe. Maybe not in the forest, but like the sky is out. You know what I mean? Like you’re looking at the trees, you’re like, ‘Wow, we really are one.’” Miguel went on to explain how taking magic mushrooms has been a game-changer for him. “There’s a real something in — especially shrooms and psychedelics — that there’s something in the…it’s all one, you know, there’s the oneness of it. I don’t know. There’s something really special. Never had a bad trip, though,” he said.  Miguel did admit that his worst trips happened when taking edibles “I’ve had some bad trips,” he explained. “They always end up in me crying over some bullshit.” One trip in particular was while he was on an edible. “I was like under a car, hiding. … That’s one, you got to ride that out,” he said. Miguel has recently released his long-awaited fifth studio album, titled CAOS, marking his first full-length project in eight years. The album arrived on his 40th birthday. The album is his most genre-bending work yet, architecting a powerful collision of R&B, grunge, industrial rock, and Afro-Latin rhythms, channeling both aggression and intimacy across its twelve tracks. “The sound of the album was very much inspired by that nonlinear kind of aggressive tone that I think, at least personally, I’ve had to take with myself and really get to the bottom of things,” Miguel told USA TODAY. “It’s not an easy or happy or romantic process. I think it takes a lot of consideration.”

The come-up story of Kevin Durant will soon be headed to your living room.  Netflix is diving deeper into basketball with a new project chronicling the illustrious career of Houston Rockets star forward Kevin Durant. The series will chart Durant’s life on and off the court: his upbringing in the Washington, DC, and Maryland area, college at the University of Texas, his immediate impact in the NBA, and his role representing the United States in the Olympics.  As the release notes, the series will be directed by Emmy Award winners Michael D. Ratner (Kids Are Growing Up; Justin Bieber: Our World; Dancing With the Devil) and Robert Alexander (A Man Named Scott, SNL50: Beyond Saturday Night, Shaq). Viewers can expect to see Durant’s most revealing interviews to date, with appearances by his mother, father, brother, coaches. “Filming for the series began before the 2023-24 season, and will continue shooting into the current season and for years beyond as he approaches the final chapters of his career,” Netflix writes. That timetable means that the series will presumably showcase Durant’s last two seasons with the Phoenix Suns; his trade to the Rockets in the 2025 offseason, and his time in Houston during the 2025-26 season and beyond. Durant, 37, a 15-time NBA All-Star has agreed to a two-year contract extension with the Houston Rockets, keeping him with the team through the 2027–28 season. The deal is reportedly worth $90 million, with the second year being a player option, meaning Durant can choose whether to stay for the second year or not.

In hip-hop, relationships can shift as quickly as the beat itself. Recent developments suggest Gucci Mane may be reconsidering previous attempts to reconcile with Nicki Minaj, who has continued to direct pointed comments at his wife, Keyshia Ka’Oir. Though Gucci once publicly apologized for past social media posts, ongoing online exchanges reveal that the reconciliation remains fragile. Gucci Mane first aired frustrations with peers, including Nicki Minaj, on Twitter in 2013. Years later, he extended a public olive branch, reflecting, “It was like a weight off my shoulders,” signaling relief from lingering tensions. Yet the calm proved temporary. As Gucci Mane focused on marriage and new projects, Nicki appears to have revived old disputes, this time targeting Keyshia Ka’Oir directly. Nicki dragged Gucci Mane’s wife for lying about getting stung by a bee #QueenRadio pic.twitter.com/tEHp3SE6gR — armani (@marnixample) October 23, 2025 Nicki Claps Back, Keyshia Explains Swelling Nicki Minaj recently criticized Keyshia, accusing her of borrowing elements of her style and persona. The verbal sparring escalated when Nicki addressed Keyshia’s appearance, which she attributed to an allergic reaction: “It was when she saw that the filler had stopped filling in that the liar got to doing what the liar is known to best do.” Her comments have added another layer to an already tense situation. In response, Keyshia Ka’Oir took to Instagram to explain the situation. “PS I had an allergic reaction & my face was swollen during the interview but I still wanted to do it. It’s better now! Thank you,” she wrote, aiming to set the record straight. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Keyshia Ka’oir Davis (@keyshiakaoir)

Iggy Azalea has once again found herself at the center of online speculation. Earlier this week, the rapper posted a brief, cryptic message on X that sent fans into a frenzy over her rumored connection with N3on—the streamer she’s recently appeared with in a series of viral livestreams. Their on-screen chemistry has stirred curiosity about whether there’s more to their collaboration than meets the eye. Her post read simply: “That didn’t last long [shrug emoji].” Azalea didn’t elaborate, but that didn’t stop followers from jumping to conclusions. Within hours, the internet was filled with theories—some playful, others convinced—suggesting the tweet hinted at a short-lived romance between the two. There’s been no confirmation from either side, but that hasn’t stopped fans from filling in the blanks. The artist seemed amused by the attention. In a follow-up tweet, she wrote, “Y’all have dirty minds [facepalm and crying emojis].” Whether meant as a playful jab or a sly denial, the comment only deepened the intrigue. For now, Azalea appears content to let the ambiguity linger—a move that has kept her name trending across social platforms. That didn’t last long — IGGY AZALEA (@IGGYAZALEA) October 22, 2025 Yall have dirty minds — IGGY AZALEA (@IGGYAZALEA) October 23, 2025 Azalea’s Take on Modern Dating In a recent livestream alongside N3on, Azalea opened up about her views on dating and relationships. Speaking candidly, she addressed what she sees as misconceptions about her personal life. “People often ask, ‘Why doesn’t she have a man? What’s wrong with her?’ I assure you, there’s nothing wrong with me,” she said. “The reality is, some of you have unrealistic expectations. That’s your issue, not mine.” The conversation soon turned to finances—a topic Azalea approached with her trademark bluntness. She joked about the costs of keeping pace with her success, saying, “Let’s keep it real: you need to bring in an additional $15 million just to keep up with my expenses. Is that fair?” Her words struck a balance between humor and honesty, underscoring how her achievements shape her expectations. Azalea also spoke about equality in long-term commitments. “If we were to buy a house or take on a mortgage together, I’d genuinely want it to be a 50/50 situation,” she said, adding that fairness and independence are central to how she views partnership. As the speculation continues, Azalea has yet to clarify whether her posts were about N3on or simply part of her online banter.

Excitement is mounting around Drake’s forthcoming album, ICEMAN, fueled in part by updates from former football star Johnny Manziel. As Drake readies what will be his ninth studio release, Manziel has become an unexpected source of clues, teasing fans with a mix of cryptic commentary and playful posts.

He’s going to Aggie Land.” The remark immediately sent social media into a frenzy, igniting speculation about the timing of the release. The anticipation intensified with a recent Instagram post from Manziel. Channeling Drake’s playful style, he wrote, “Went back to Tuscaloosa for the first time since 2012, hopped on a jet to South Beach and tried my best to burn the city down. Caught a flight down to the Bahamas because it’s ICEMAN time and the baccarat tables were calling my name.” He added, “Back to South Beach for my dog’s birthday, ended up at Booby Trap. It’s been a month for the books, and we still have nine days left.” Fans quickly dissected the post for clues about the album’s arrival. Fans Eye Halloween Drop for Drake’s ICEMAN Many now speculate that ICEMAN could drop around Halloween, aligning with the industry’s traditional Friday release schedule. Adding to the intrigue, Drake’s own birthday falls on October 24, also a Friday, raising expectations that the release might coincide with his celebrations.

I had to reach out to him later to apologize,” Gucci said, praising Drake’s willingness to reconcile.

Since releasing “WHAM” in January, Lil Baby has left fans waiting for follow-up projects. The Atlanta rapper, usually prolific, has faced a turbulent year. A leaked jail conversation involving his close friend Young Thug drew Baby into unexpected controversy. This tested both his public image and private loyalties. Though his role was limited, the scrutiny strained their friendship. This especially occurred after Young Thug mentioned Baby’s contractual ties with Quality Control (QC). Lil Baby addressed some of this tension through his introspective track “Miss My Dogs.” He raps, “Wham, pick up the phone, yeah, talk to me, it’s Spider / Taught you everything you know ’bout this sht, we for lifers.”* Later, he cautions, “God told you in the Bible, the devil’ll knife ya / Rats already winnin’, don’t let this sht divide us.”* The song captures the emotional toll of loyalty and fame. This offers listeners a glimpse into the pressures behind his success. Career hurdles have compounded these personal challenges. In early September, several international dates from his “WHAM” tour were canceled. The highly anticipated mixtape The Leak$—expected to feature Young Thug, Playboi Carti, Veeze, and LUCKI—never materialized. Fans were left wondering whether these delays reflected retreat or recalibration. Nearly two months after missing the release of ‘The Leak$’, Lil Baby has cleared his Instagram profile and updated his profile picture. New music on the way? pic.twitter.com/98dG8dCe2e — Kurrco (@Kurrco) October 23, 2025 Signs of Renewal Now, there are hints of a pivot. According to Kurrco, Lil Baby has revamped his Instagram, removing past posts and updating his bio to read, “Dominique – The Beginning Of A New Chapter!” The profile features a biohazard symbol, signaling reinvention. By using his birth name, Dominique Armani Jones, Baby frames his forthcoming album as a personal project. Initially teased after “WHAM” and delayed multiple times, the album promises to explore more introspective themes than his previous releases. With these changes, Dominique appears poised to mark a defining moment.
