Month: August 2025

Boosie Badazz isn’t letting a looming federal court date stop him from hitting the stage or throwing his annual pool bash, and he’s reassuring fans, it’s business as usual—for now.

The Baton Rouge rapper made it clear this week that all of his scheduled performances — including his signature summer party — are still happening, despite his upcoming surrender tied to a federal plea deal.

“My DM full,” he began. “A lot of people in my DM tripping about my shows in September because I go for my plea August 26th. But that ain’t how it go in fed court. Once you take a plea, your sentencing ain’t till two, three months after it. So I’m gonna be at every show, of course.”

Boosie also confirmed that his annual pool party is still on deck.

“Pool party still going on,” he said. “It’s still gonna be crazy. Link in the bio for the tickets. But, all my fans across the world, it’s just a plea that I’m doing on August 26. That’s it, baby.”

He added once more, “I’ll be at all my shows.”

The legal trouble stems from a June 2023 incident in San Diego, where federal agents discovered firearms in Boosie’s vehicle.

Because of a 2011 felony drug conviction, he was charged with being a felon in possession of a firearm — a federal offense.

Though California state charges were dismissed earlier this year following legal debates over Second Amendment rights, federal prosecutors refiled the case with adjustments.

Boosie Reveals He Took Plea Deal After Speaking To Family

That led to Boosie’s decision to accept a plea deal, which he announced earlier this month on social media.

“JUST ACCEPTED A PLEA FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT ON MY GUN CASE. I THOUGHT THIS CASE WAS OVER AND I WAS GOING TO GET ON WITH MY LIFE BUT ‘GOD DON’T MAKE MISTAKES’ AND I’M TIRED OF FIGHTING!!” he wrote. “TALKED TO MY FAMILY AND THIS IS THE RIGHT DECISION. TO ALL MY FANS ACROSS THE WORLD SAY A PRAYER…”

The specific terms of the plea agreement, including sentencing guidelines or what charges he admitted to, have not been made public.

A court hearing is scheduled for August 26.

John Leguizamo flamed Dean Cain online after the former Superman actor said he’s training to be an ICE agent and proudly announced it like it was some kind of flex.

The Ice Age actor hopped on Instagram with a video and let loose on Cain, dragging his whole plan through the mud.

“What kind of loser volunteers to be an ICE officer?” Leguizamo said. “What a m####. Dean Cain, your pronouns are has/been.”

Cain, who hasn’t been on a major screen in years but is still riding that Lois & Clark nostalgia, didn’t come back swinging.

Instead, he kept it weirdly chill and dropped a post on X saying, “He’s a good actor – I like his stuff,” in response to an article from The Hollywood Reporter that covered Leguizamo’s comments.

Cain told Fox News Digital he’s getting into ICE work for the same reasons he got into law enforcement ten years ago—he says it’s about protecting people.

He added, “Our ICE agents, who are amazing men and women, are incredible. And they’re black, and they are brown and green and yellow and Japanese and whatever. They’re a cross-section of Americans.”

Then he doubled down on his stance, saying ICE is “doing the job of deporting people who are here illegally.”

Cain first blew up in the 90s as Clark Kent on Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, but lately he’s been more about politics than prime time.

Leguizamo, meanwhile, has been vocal about his views on immigration and representation for years, and clearly he’s not vibing with Cain’s latest career move.

Iggy Azalea has revealed that she did indeed rake in a jaw-dropping amount from her OnlyFans hustle, while fighting through a private medical scare that messed up her legs.

The Aussie rapper told ABC News she made “a life-changing number” on the platform, even though the $48 million figure floating around isn’t quite accurate.

“I’m no fool. I’ve been paid before I even made the profile. I was the top for that year. I barely, honestly… I didn’t have to do much,” she said. “It’s not $48 million. That’s not the exact number, but it’s a life-changing number. It’s a little lower. It was great for me because I was able to take all that money and use it to seed out ideas I had about businesses that I wanted to build.”

She first hopped on OnlyFans in January 2023 as part of her “Hotter Than Hell” project.

It was a mix of visuals, collabs, merch and the kind of spicy content that Instagram doesn’t allow.

At $25 a month, she quickly became one of the highest-paid creators on the platform. The money was great, but behind the scenes, Iggy was fighting through something way heavier.

She said she suffered nerve damage in her legs, which turned into a nasty infection that wouldn’t heal. And while she was dealing with IV treatments through a PICC line, she was still pushing content to keep her OnlyFans booming.

“I just ended up getting what’s called a chronically non-healing wound because I had a PICC line in my arm. We would take the PICC line out and then take hot bikini pictures for a day or two,” she said. “I turned lemons into lemonade with that. I really did.”

While some might’ve expected straight adult content, Iggy said the page was more about freedom and creative control.

She used the platform to bypass the usual online restrictions and connect in her own way. For about a year, she kept the page hot, promoting it with sultry Polaroids and bikini shots.

Eventually, she walked away from OnlyFans, saying she wanted to build something more community-driven and shifted her audience over to Telegram.

Finesse2Tymes is getting blasted by his own mom over money, clout and what she says is straight-up disrespect while she’s out here scrambling to stay off the streets.

Finesse2Tymes’ mother, Pluria Alexander, hopped online and let her son have it, claiming he dropped millions on weed, groupies and jewelry while she’s packing up her stuff and facing eviction.

In a no-filter rant, she called him out for turning his back on her and warned that karma’s coming for his bank account.

“You spend four million m###########’ dollars on n##### and b######. Weed. Flyin’ m############ back and forth,” Alexander said. “That’s what you spend your money on. Jewelry. You ain’t spend it on family. You done spend it on family. And when a m########### dead, guess what? They gotta do something for it. It ain’t genuine. Keep your money.”

She dragged him for being disrespectful after she called him a narcissist, saying he ran to post pictures instead of checking on her.

“I pushed you out this ass, n####. You don’t disrespect me,” she declared in the heated exchange, later doubling down with, “You disrespectful, boy. You disrespectful as a m###########. And you need your ass whooped.”

She accused the rapper of deliberately posting an image online after she called him out, describing it as a calculated move meant to humiliate her. The verbal assault continued with a vow to cut ties: “I swear to God, you ain’t never gotta do a m###########’ thing for me again.”

Pluria says she’s been cut off financially after a family fight and is now trying to raise $6K on GoFundMe to cover moving costs.

She says this is the third time she’s been left homeless by her own son. She also said the stress has triggered anxiety and what she calls “narcissistic abuse” from Finesse.

Before things blew up, she lived in Memphis. But after moving to Texas, her life went downhill. She’s also caught up in a money laundering case that she says came from being scammed by Nigerian fraudsters.

That situation made it tough to get approved for a new place, and she’s reportedly been denied by three different apartments.

She’s asking for help to cover deposits, transportation and housing so she can stay near family while handling her legal mess and mental health.

As for Finesse2Tymes, his mother said she was done with her own son.

“I don’t want your dirty money. Cause you ain’t gonna have it long. God gonna make sure of that,” Alexander said.

DDG got caught up in a wild police response during a paintball livestream in SoCal after some troll called in a fake emergency claiming he was armed and threatening people.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department rolled up deep, guns drawn, thinking DDG was a threat. Turns out it was a total lie.

The whole thing went down while DDG was live-streaming—cops cuffed him on camera, only to realize it was all fake and let him go.

Now the detectives are digging to track down whoever made the bogus call. A Sheriff’s spokesperson confirmed they’re actively working on the case and already filed a report for the phony emergency.

DDG’s manager and legal rep, Dimitri Hurt, told TMZ Hip Hop, “The anonymous caller fabricated a claim that DDG was armed and threatening people, which led to an unnecessary and heavily armed police response to a peaceful paintball live stream event. This reckless and malicious act disrupted the tournament, caused unnecessary panic among attendees, and put everyone present — including law enforcement — in harm’s way.”

He added, “DDG, who was there simply to enjoy and participate in the event, was deeply shaken by the incident. Having officers respond under the false belief that you are armed is an incredibly distressing and traumatizing experience.”

Swatting isn’t new, but it’s getting way more common—and dangerous.

In 2025 alone, schools across the country have been hit with fake threats that send cops scrambling. It’s gotten so bad that lawmakers are scrambling to pass new laws to stop this stuff.

One dude, Alan Filion, got slapped with four years in federal prison earlier this year for pulling off 375 fake calls across the U.S. between 2022 and 2024, showing just how out of hand this trend is getting.

Each swatting incident racks up a massive bill, too. Emergency services spend around $ 100,000 per response, while school-related swatting costs over $82 million in 2023, and that number’s still climbing in 2025.

DDG’s team says he’s cooperating with the investigation and authorities are doing what they can to bring the prankster to justice.

“We are grateful that no one was physically harmed, but the emotional toll and the damage to the event’s atmosphere were significant,” Hurt said.

Rising rapper C Money died in a hail of bullets during a chaotic shootout in Memphis early Sunday, cutting short the life of a rising Fast Cash Boyz member whose music was gaining traction in the Southern Hip-Hop scene.

The 25-year-old artist, born C Money Smith, was gunned down around midnight on August 10, 2025, in a residential neighborhood, according to Memphis police.

Authorities said multiple homes were struck by gunfire during the exchange, which reportedly involved several vehicles.

Smith was pronounced dead at the scene. Witnesses described the gunfire as part of an escalating feud that had been simmering for days.

“From what I hear, this has been going on since last Friday. That they’ve been back and forth shooting at each other, whoever they are,” a local resident told WREG.

Smith was one-half of the Fast Cash Boyz, a Memphis duo he formed with fellow rapper Fast Cash Jizzle. The group had been gaining local buzz as part of a new wave of Memphis Hip-Hop talent. The group had just opened for GloRilla at Glo Bash in July.

“Dam Lil bra we wasn’t Finish. We STILL ain’t stopping doe you did everythang you could just had the streets and the ladies on LOCK. I already know what you want me to do. We got it from here,” Fast Cash Jizzle said.

His partner and longtime girlfriend, Kya Smith, confirmed his death in a Facebook post and launched a GoFundMe campaign to raise money for funeral costs and to support their children.

“C Money Smith was more than just a rapper—he was a loving father, a loyal friend, and an inspiration to many. Through his music, he told the stories of his life, his struggles, and his dreams, touching the hearts of everyone who listened. His passion for his craft and his dedication to his children were unmatched,” the fundraiser reads.

The funeral is scheduled for August 23, 2025.

Jelly Roll pulled up to the Tennessee Titans’ facility looking way leaner and dropping wisdom, revealing he’s shed a wild 200 pounds during his health grind.

The Hip-Hop star—real name Jason DeFord—popped up in a video shared by the Titans, hyping up the squad and flexing a noticeably slimmer frame.

He cracked a joke mid-speech to Coach Brian Callahan, saying, “I lost 200 pounds. I told coach I’m getting a contract if I lose another 50.” The room ate it up and gave him a round of applause.

While he’s not suiting up in pads anytime soon, Jelly said he’s “getting close” to being field-ready. Not bad for a dude who’s been battling weight issues most of his life.

But it wasn’t all jokes. Jelly got real with the players about the importance of building real bonds off the field, too.

“(My band and I) learned it was the 23 hours we wasn’t on the stage that we were building our connection,” he said. “Find a partner, find a friend, build a strength, build a relationship. Community—that stuff will translate to the field.”

He didn’t stop there.

The Nashville native talked about how getting his personal life right helped him level up in every other part of his world.

“I started becoming a better songwriter when I started becoming a better husband. I started becoming a better performer when I started becoming a better human,” he added. “I started becoming a better son. I started prioritising my momma’s calls. It’s funny how the heavens started opening up for me just ’cause of how I was treating relationships everywhere else.”

Jelly’s been on the road heavy lately, rolling through cities on his Beautifully Broken Tour. Next stop? Montreal on August 16.

He may not be gunning for a Super Bowl ring, but the dude’s clearly winning in other ways.
