Finesse2Tymes is catching heat at home—his mom, Pluria Alexander, says she’s getting kicked out after he stopped footing the bill and now she’s begging for help online.

Alexander launched a GoFundMe asking for $6K to cover moving costs after claiming her son bailed on her financially and emotionally.

Pluria says she’s now locked in a fight to stay housed in Texas after her landlord gave her a few days to pay up or pack it up. In the GoFundMe description, she didn’t sugarcoat anything.

“I’m reaching out for help as I face eviction and the urgent need to find a new place to live. Until recently, my son was helping me pay my bills, but after a falling out, I’ve been left to manage everything on my own,” Alexander said.

She added that this isn’t the first time he’s left her out to dry. “This is the third time my son’s actions have left me homeless and each time it becomes harder to recover.”

Before she moved to Texas, Alexander says she had her life together in Memphis with a steady job, her own place and a car. Now she’s struggling with anxiety, depression and what she describes as “narcissistic abuse” from her son.

On top of that, she’s got a legal mess to deal with. Alexander says she got caught up in a scam involving Nigerian fraudsters last year and is now dealing with a pending money laundering charge.

She says that the charge is making it nearly impossible for her to find a new apartment.

“I’ve already been denied by three different apartments,” she wrote.

She’s asking for help to cover moving costs, transportation and security deposits so she can stay close to family and try to get back on her feet.

“I’m doing everything I can to stay close to my family and maintain my health, but the stress is overwhelming,” Alexander said.

Alexander says she’s not ashamed to ask for help.

“Your support would mean the world to me. It would give me a chance to start over, stay near my loved ones, and focus on my health and well-being while I navigate this difficult legal situation,” she said.

Cardi B took a jab at plus-size folks while hyping her upcoming Am I The Drama? album merch drop and used her BBL as her defense card.

The Bronx rap queen hit Instagram Live and cracked a joke about underestimating how many 3XL tees she needed for her album bundles.

“So the box sets are completely sold out, especially because you fat f####, clearly you guys are fat as f###, no Chick-fil-A for y’all.”

She kept the same energy, saying, “I could body shame people cause y’all body-shame me. If y’all body shame me, I could body shame y’all. You could talk about my body and I talk about yours, so it doesn’t matter. I call you fat, though it’s not a big deal. You can talk about my BBL all day, but I haven’t talked about you being fat all day.”

The comments set off some backlash online, but Cardi circled back on another Live to explain she clowns everybody and doesn’t care who gets mad.

She pointed out how she’s been roasted for her body for years and doesn’t lose sleep over it anymore.

“It got to the point that when people talk s### about my body, I don’t even care no more. You want to know why? ‘Cause I’m content with how I look and I’m not laying in that table no more. I’m 33 and I’m old as f### and I got s### to do. I can’t take two months off no more cause I got surgery. I’m not gonna apologize though cause ya’ll sensitive cause ya’ll wanna cry about some dumb s###.”

This isn’t the first time she’s had to speak on her BBL.

She previously clapped back at a wild rumor claiming Stefon Diggs ghosted her over the smell of it.

Cardi shut that narrative down quick, saying, “First of all, I don’t know who made that up. But, btch, that’s you … That’s on you, btch. That could never be me.”

So while Cardi’s catching flak over her merch rollout, she’s standing ten toes down—BBL and all.

Janice Smalls is calling BS on a lawsuit that claims she helped her son Diddy screw over a former Bad Boy exec out of millions—saying she had nothing to do with that mess and wants the whole thing tossed.

The 84-year-old mom of the Hip-Hop mogul is fighting back in Manhattan federal court, where Kirk Burrowes is suing over a piece of Bad Boy Entertainment he says was snatched from him back in the ’90s.

Burrowes is coming for Diddy, his longtime lawyer Kenneth Meiselas, and now Smalls—claiming she played clean-up crew after he was allegedly forced to give up his 25% stake and 15% profit cut in 1996.

Smalls says that’s all cap.

In new court papers, she’s asking the judge to shut it down, saying she’s never owned a piece of Bad Boy, had zero involvement in the alleged strong-arm play and hasn’t even lived in New York since 2012.

She’s been in Florida, minding her business and paying taxes like everyone else.

Burrowes has already tried to get this case off the ground—twice.

First in 2003, then again in state court. Both got booted for being way past the deadline. Smalls’ lawyers say this third try is more of the same, calling it “frivolous” and “preposterous.”

Burrowes claims Diddy and Meiselas threatened him into signing over his stake and says Smalls later helped hide the whole thing.

He even says she admitted it at a Diana Ross party in 2019. But Smalls’ team says even if that were true, the statute of limitations still ran out before Burrowes filed in 2025.

The legal squad also argues that the fraud claims don’t have the receipts required under court rules, and that the rest of the lawsuit is just a remix of old contract beefs dressed up as new charges.

They say the “unjust enrichment” and “conversion” claims are basically the same thing, that the consumer fraud law doesn’t apply, and that “civil conspiracy” isn’t even a valid claim in New York without a real crime to back it.

Bottom line, Smalls says she’s not the villain here and wants out of this legal circus.

The judge hasn’t ruled yet, and Burrowes’ lawyers haven’t said a word.

Conway The Machine and Freddie Gibbs might just be friends. The digital streets are whispering.

Rumors recently swirled after Benny The Butcher and Conway allegedly clashed while overseas in Paris.

What was supposed to be a powerful show turned into a rumor-fest, with each artist performing separately. But the rumors don’t stop there. One source described it as more than a simple disagreement — claiming a physical altercation nearly broke out, leaving one person knocked out and another allegedly pulling a knife. Since then, Benny and his team have gone radio silent, neither confirming nor denying the incident.

What makes the situation even messier is that Conway has shown a lot of love for Gibbs – post-fight. This is bold considering the known history between Freddie Gibbs and Benny’s crew.

Years ago, Gibbs and Benny had a serious public feud. And when Gibbs went to Benny’s hometown of Buffalo, he got jumped. While Gibbs still took the stage afterward, he performed visibly bruised. It was no secret that Benny’s camp was suspected of being involved.

It was the kind of moment that made Hip-Hop heads wince. I cringed. Benny and Gibbs had cooked up some of the best lyrical work together before things went sour. Watching violence cut short that creative magic was a reminder of how fragile greatness can be when ego and street politics get in the way.

Listen to this:

How did we get to this parallel universe? This is wack!

It’s not clear whether Conway’s positive vibes and love for all have reignited old tensions, but some observers are connecting the dots. We need answers. After all, Benny and Conway are family, and in Hip-Hop, loyalty still carries weight. But, Conway once rapped, “pick a side.”

For now, there’s no confirmation on what caused the alleged Paris fallout. But Griselda’s silence on the matter only fuels rumors. Each artist continues to move solo, promoting projects and performing without acknowledging the growing whispers. Talk to us. Or, better yet, talk to each other. You guys need each other more than you think.

In an era where grown-man rap and lyrical excellence are already rare, watching Griselda and Gibbs beef is more than disappointing. We need this to work out. It’s a reminder that while rap beef has always been part of the game, so is growth.

Hip-Hop doesn’t always make space for peace. But that doesn’t mean the artists can’t.

For the record, we love all these dudes! They are APEX MCs in the new era.

Gillie Da King clapped back at trolls accusing him of sacrificing his own son, YNG Cheese, after the 25-year-old was gunned down in Philly last summer.

The Philly rapper and podcast host wasn’t here for the wild internet theories floating around about his son’s murder and let it fly during a recent convo.

“My son got murdered in a ghetto in Philadelphia, standing on the corner. But n***as talk about ‘I sacrificed my son,’” he said, clearly fed up. “Do you know how ignorant that is, bro?”

Gillie Da King didn’t sugarcoat a thing and made it crystal clear that no keyboard warrior could mess with his peace.

“Listen, do you understand how I’m one of the realest n##### ever living, man? You can’t offend me by typing some dumb s### at the bottom of the joint,” he snapped.

He explained that he’s already made peace with the loss of his son, born Devin Spady, who was shot in the back during a triple shooting in the Olney section of Philly on July 20, 2023.

He flipped the hate right back on the trolls, calling out their bad karma.

“All you’re doing is putting negative energy on yourself. All you’re doing is shortening somebody’s life up on your side. So when your mama or one of your aunts or your brother check out in the next six months, you put that negative energy on them. The world works off of energy buddy.”

He was especially heated by the idea that anyone would think he’d sacrifice his own kid for clout or money.

“You on here telling a n####, a solid n#### like me, that he killed his son for money. A n#### think he’s hurting me by typing that s###. He’s hurting his own family,” Gillie Da King added.

Months after the shooting, Gillie said the cops told him that the alleged shooter was 17-year-old Noah Scurry, a high school basketball standout who was fatally shot himself in January 2025 outside his home.

Gillie Da King said his son wasn’t even the intended target—someone else was caught in street drama and YNG Cheese got caught in the crossfire.

The whole thing’s been a public nightmare for the Million Dollaz Worth of Game co-host, who’s been using his platform to speak on gun violence ever since.
