Coi Leray lit up Instagram on July 4 with a sultry return to social media, flaunting her post-baby body while Trippie Redd was being booked in Miami on an old warrant.

The Hip-Hop artist, who recently gave birth to her daughter Miyoco, uploaded a carousel of images that had her 7.7 million followers buzzing.

Wearing a cropped white tee that read “BADLY DOLL” in bold red letters, Leray posed confidently in a patio chair, showcasing her toned stomach and revealing her cleavage.

Her outfit included rolled-up gray sweats, red-and-black sneakers and socks that popped against the muted tones. Her long black hair fell in soft waves, parted down the middle and framing her face.

The final photo in the set featured baby Miyoco celebrating her first Independence Day.

The post marked only her second upload since giving birth on June 16.

While Leray was celebrating motherhood and the holiday, Trippie Redd—real name Michael Lamar White IV—was being arrested at Miami International Airport.

According to reports, deputies took him into custody at Terminal J, Gate 17, just before he was scheduled to board a flight to Europe.

The arrest stemmed from a 2023 Miami-Dade County warrant tied to a case involving an invalid driver’s license. U.S. Customs and Border Protection flagged his presence, prompting local law enforcement to take action.

He was booked at Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center and released later that day on a $150 bond. Authorities confirmed there were no new charges or allegations of violence or drug-related activity.

Coi Leray and Trippie Redd welcomed their daughter Miyoco less than three weeks ago.

The name blends “Mi” from Michael and “Co” from Coi and also means “beautiful child” in Japanese.

Leray announced her pregnancy on January 1 and has since spoken openly about the challenges of new motherhood, including quitting weed and alcohol and struggling with breastfeeding.

Feezy Lebron reached a tentative settlement with Los Angeles County over a lawsuit accusing sheriff’s deputies of threatening to shoot him during a 2022 traffic stop.

The deal, which still requires approval from both the Los Angeles County Claims Board and Board of Supervisors, stems from a federal civil rights complaint filed by the rapper, whose legal name is Darral Scott.

The $10 million lawsuit alleges that on December 31, 2022, deputies with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department approached Lebron while he was sitting in a parked car in Gardena, live streaming to his followers and waiting for a friend.

According to court documents, deputies ordered him to open the door and then escalated the situation with physical force and verbal threats.

“One deputy opened the driver’s side door, grabbed Lebron by the arm and attempted to pull him out of his car,” the lawsuit stated. “Moments later, a second deputy walked up to Lebron, pulled out a canister of pepper spray and said, ‘I’m just going to spray you.’”

The complaint further claims that deputies repeatedly threatened to shoot him at close range if he moved or tried to drive away. The encounter was captured on body camera footage, according to the filing.

Feezy Lebron says the incident left him traumatized and fearful of law enforcement. His attorney has urged the sheriff’s department to discipline the deputies involved and address broader issues of misconduct within the agency.

The county has not admitted any wrongdoing. Attorneys representing Los Angeles County argued the deputies were protected by qualified immunity but agreed to the tentative settlement to avoid prolonged litigation.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department declined to comment on the case, citing ongoing legal proceedings.

However, the department stated it expects its personnel to treat the public with dignity and will hold those who violate policy accountable.

The proposed settlement does not yet include finalized payout terms and will remain pending review by county officials in the coming weeks.

50 Cent lashed out over a wave of devastating injuries in the NBA playoffs and accused a mystery woman of cursing players wearing the number zero, including Indiana Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton, who tore his Achilles tendon in Game 7 of the 2025 NBA Finals.

“When I find the b#### that put the juju on my man? This s### ain’t just happening just to be happening, the s### is happening for a reason,” 50 Cent said in a video. “How everybody with zero get their Achilles snapped? Everybody’s s### is popped. Like, everybody’s s###. Right? You got Damien Lillard, right? Jason Tatum? And Haliburton.”

50 Cent, has a business relationship with the Indiana Pacers through his Sire Spirits brand and G-Unity Foundation. Despite his New York roots, he’s been a vocal supporter of the Pacers, especially during their 2025 Finals run.

His frustration peaked after Haliburton, who wore jersey number 0, suffered a torn right Achilles less than five minutes into the first quarter of Game 7.

The injury ended his season and required surgery in New York with Dr. Martin O’Malley. Haliburton had been playing through a calf strain before the rupture and is expected to miss the entire 2025-26 season.

Haliburton wasn’t alone. Jayson Tatum of the Boston Celtics and Damian Lillard of the Milwaukee Bucks—both also wearing number 0—suffered similar injuries during the 2025 postseason.

In total, seven NBA players tore their Achilles tendons this season, the most in league history.

“All of my n##### is dead. All of my friends are dead now. I’m singing Lil Uzi out this b####. Because this m###########, when I find his hoe, she dead,” 50 Cent lamented.

NBA Commissioner Adam Silver has acknowledged the disturbing trend but has a different take than 50 Cent. He said the league is turning to artificial intelligence to comb through video and player data in search of patterns.

“I’m hopeful that by looking at more data, by looking at patterns, this is one area where A.I. — people are talking about how that’s going to transform so many areas — the ability with A.I. to ingest all video of every game a player’s played in to see if you can detect some pattern that we didn’t realize that leads to an Achilles injury. We’re taking it very seriously,” Silver said in an interview with NBA.com.

Silver said the league began reviewing injury data before Haliburton’s injury and ruled out season length as a factor. The NBA has not announced when it expects to complete its investigation.

Beanie Sigel resurfaced on a new track with his signature grit and lyrical precision—thanks to artificial intelligence helping him reclaim the voice he damaged after a 2014 shooting.

The Philadelphia rap veteran appears on “Motion Picture,” a standout cut from local artist D. Jones’s new album Still Counting Blessings, alongside Jadakiss and K. Gibbs.

But what really garnered attention wasn’t just the lineup—it was the return of the old Beans sound, made possible by AI.

In a 2023 interview, Sigel revealed he’s been working on a full project using artificial intelligence to digitally recreate the gravelly tone that defined his early career. That voice was damaged in a near-fatal shooting nearly a decade ago.

“And I think I found a good friend with this AI thing. Yeah. A lot of people frown on AI, but I think that’s gonna work for me,” he explained. “It’s definitely for me. Y’all want, what they say, the ‘old Beans’ back? ‘Cause the pen’s still there.”

The collaboration came together unexpectedly, according to D. Jones, who said the track was the result of a sample clearance issue. That twist of fate opened the door for Sigel to jump on the record.

Beanie Sigel Recalls Vocal Damage

In 2014, Siegel was shot in the stomach outside his Pleasantville, New Jersey home. The bullet exited through his back, damaging his lungs and vocal cords. The aftermath left his voice permanently altered.

“My vocals came out of — I was in a coma,” Sigel said in a 2023 interview. “So, when I was coming out of it — I had a breathing tube down my throat. So when I first woke up out the coma, I didn’t know where I was at. And I pulled the breathing tube out. So it tore up s### in my throat. And I had staples in my stomach. So when I was yanking — I couldn’t get it out. It made me gag, and I bust all the staples in my stomach. It just opened up.”

Despite the trauma, the Roc-A-Fella alum never lost his lyrical edge. Now, with AI stepping in to recreate his old vocal tone, Sigel is gearing up for a full-circle return.

Meanwhile, Beanie Sigel could also team up with The D.O.C., whose vocal cords were crushed in a notorious car crash. Check out his conversation with Chuck “Jigsaw” Creekmur and DJ Thoro for AllHipHop below.

6ix9ine admitted to possessing cocaine and MDMA in connection with a March 2025 raid at his Florida home, a move that will likely spare him a full evidentiary hearing ahead of his supervised release violation hearing in July.

According to a court filing, 6ix9ine will plead guilty to two supervised release violations—specifically, the discovery of three MDMA pills and a bag containing cocaine residue.

The drugs were found during a probation compliance check at his South Florida estate.

The March 12 raid was prompted by a tip from a confidential informant who alleged the rapper had drugs and firearms at his residence.

Federal agents and local law enforcement executed the search warrant early that morning, detaining Hernandez from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. while they combed through the property.

Authorities reported seizing a Glock 9mm handgun from a pool house, along with fentanyl, marijuana and other narcotics.

However, the government will dismiss the two other supervised release violations—related to the fentanyl and firearm—once Hernandez formally admits to the drug charges.

Following the admission, prosecutors will request that their witnesses, who would otherwise travel from Florida to testify, be excused from the July 23 hearing.

6ix9ine has maintained that the drugs and weapon were not his, previously claiming they were planted by a “former friend/snitch.”

Despite his denial, he now appears ready to accept partial responsibility, which could influence sentencing.

The rapper’s legal team is expected to ask for a delay in sentencing after the July hearing.

6ix9ine remains under strict probation conditions, including a ban on possessing firearms or controlled substances and limited travel permissions.

Sonstar Peterson says his son, Tory Lanez, is preparing to release a self-help book from behind bars and hinted at a possible early release, claiming, “He’s coming out.”

Speaking during a recent interview, Peterson revealed the pair co-authored a book titled The 360 Phenomenon, which he believes will have a major impact.

“Tory and I, we’re about to put out a book I think that’s going to be majorly transformative for a lot of people,” he said. “It’s called The 360 Phenomenon.”

The book centers around the idea that life moves in cycles, not straight lines.

“We created this thing whereby we could show people how you can start where you are, no matter where you start on that wheel, and you can literally go through a transformation of your thought process, your thinking within 90 days,” Peterson said. “I’m not telling you in 90 days you’re going to become a breakaway success, but it starts with you literally transforming your perspective on life.”

Peterson also suggested his son may not serve the complete 10-year sentence he received in August 2023 after being convicted of shooting Megan Thee Stallion in 2020.

“I wouldn’t go on record giving a date right now,” he said. “But what I will say is that there are movements happening in the background and the powers that be can clearly see that this was a hatchet job.”

Tory Lanez was found guilty on three felony counts: assault with a semiautomatic firearm, carrying a loaded, unregistered firearm in a vehicle and discharging a firearm with gross negligence.

The incident occurred after a party at Kylie Jenner’s home, where an argument escalated in a vehicle. Megan testified that Lanez shot her in the feet as she exited the car.

Tory Lanez’s legal team has since launched 36hourslater.com, a website that claims to present “suppressed evidence” from the trial.

The site includes police bodycam footage, audio from witnesses, and expert commentary.

One video features an eyewitness, Sean Kelly, allegedly telling police he saw a woman—believed to be Kelsey Harris—fire the weapon.

Another clip shows Megan initially telling officers she stepped on glass, a statement she later said was meant to protect those involved.

Despite the new material, Megan’s legal team maintains that the original evidence, including text messages, medical records, and sworn testimony, supports the conviction.

Lanez’s appeal is ongoing, but his dad is confident the ruling will swing in his son’s favor.

“I believe it is much sooner than a lot of people think, much sooner than later. And yeah, he’s coming, he’s coming out, he’s coming out,” Peterson said.

The Outlawz were founded by Tupac Shakur and Yaki Kadafi in 1995, initially emerging from Shakur’s earlier collaborations with groups like Dramacydal and Thug Life. The group, whose name stands for “Operating Under Thug Laws As Warriors,” first gained widespread recognition through their appearance on Shakur’s track “When We Ride” from his multi-platinum album All Eyez on Me, and became especially notable for their role on the infamous diss track “Hit ‘Em Up.”

Members adopted aliases inspired by controversial world leaders, with Shakur himself taking the name “Makaveli.” The original lineup included Kastro, E.D.I. Mean, Hussein Fatal, Napoleon, Yaki Kadafi, Young Noble and the sole female member, Storm.

After Shakur’s murder in 1996, the group faced significant turmoil, including the deaths of Kadafi and Hussein Fatal, but continued to release music, including the platinum-certified album Still I Rise in collaboration with Shakur.

Young Noble, who joined the group in 1996 as the last member, survived a serious heart attack in 2021. He wrote at the time, “Thank you to all my luved ones who been praying for me I had 1 of the worst days of my life yesterday I had a serious heart attack but God is too good & the amazing doctors brung me back an they getting me right.

“I plan to put everything in my life on hold while I recover an get my health all the way right…This will only make me stronger I’m grateful for a second chance an I beg y’all please please please take your health serious all the unhealthy living an stress catches up sooner than later!”

In December 2024, Young Noble sat down for his first interview in seven years in which he got emotional talking about both the murders of Tupac Shakur and The Notorious B.I.G.

“It was crazy,” he said. “Biggie dying affected us, too […] I was almost questioning like, ‘Damn man, maybe I should have stayed in school and figured something else out.’ Like, ‘I don’t know if I made the right decision getting in the car with [Hussein] Fatal and Yaki [Kadafi] that day. This doesn’t feel good. I left the hood to come to California. I was tired of death and all this b#######. Two of my friends just died back to back. It was horrible. Horrible for Hip-Hop.”

Trippie Redd was taken into custody at Miami International Airport on July 4.

The rapper was busted while attempting to board a flight to France due to an outstanding warrant from 2023, according to Miami-Dade County authorities.

He was arrested without incident and transported to Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center.

Officials have not released details about the original charge tied to the warrant.

The arrest happened on Independence Day, just weeks after Trippie and Coi Leray welcomed their first child together, a daughter named Miyoco.

The baby’s name blends “Mi” from Trippie Redd’s first name and “co” from Coi’s, and also translates to “beautiful child” in Japanese.

The couple’s relationship has been on and off since they first linked up years ago.

They rekindled in 2024 but reportedly split again before their daughter’s birth in June 2025.

The arrest adds another chapter to Trippie’s turbulent public life, which now includes legal issues, a new child and a complicated relationship with Coi Leray.

As of Friday morning, Trippie Redd remained in custody at Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center, according to NBC Miami.

Eminem is officially stepping into the sports ownership arena as part of the newly announced WNBA expansion team in Detroit, which is scheduled to hit the court in 2029.

The WNBA confirmed earlier this week that Detroit, along with Cleveland and Philadelphia, will each receive a new franchise, bringing the league total to 18 teams.

The Motor City’s ownership group is anchored by Tom Gores, owner of the Detroit Pistons, and features a high-profile lineup including Marshall Mathers, Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff, former NBA stars Grant Hill and Chris Webber, Lions principal owner Sheila Hamp, and General Motors CEO Mary Barra.

The group reportedly shelled out $250 million for the expansion fee, signaling a serious investment in the future of women’s basketball in Detroit. The team will play its home games at Little Caesars Arena, with plans underway for a new training facility and team headquarters along the city’s riverfront.

“This is a huge win for Detroit and the WNBA,” Gores said in a statement. “Today marks the long-hoped-for return of the WNBA to a city with deep basketball roots and a championship tradition. Detroit played a key role in the league’s early growth, and we’re proud to reignite that legacy as the WNBA ascends to new heights.”

Eminem’s involvement in the WNBA team is more than just a business move. Known for his deep ties to Detroit, the Hip-Hop veteran is using his platform to uplift local sports and youth development efforts.

The WNBA’s expansion comes at a time of surging popularity, with record-setting viewership numbers and merchandise sales driving national momentum.

China Walker, one-half of the Cam & China rap duo from Inglewood, has died at age 30 following a private two-year fight with a rare and aggressive form of ovarian cancer.

The news was announced on Wednesday, July 2, by her twin sister and groupmate Cam Walker in a heartfelt Instagram post. The pair had kept China’s diagnosis out of the public eye until her death.

“Most don’t know, China has been fighting a rare, aggressive Ovarian Cancer for 2 years,” Cam wrote. “Tonight, she transitioned and is now resting peacefully. Give me time to grieve in peace, but know she loved all our supporters.”

Cam also posted a photo of the two sisters together, along with a message urging people to stay connected with their loved ones.

“Check on yo people, you never know what they are going thru until it’s too late,” she added.

The duo first gained attention in 2016 with their self-titled EP, which showcased their lyrical chemistry. The loss also highlights the devastating impact of ovarian cancer, a disease that often goes undetected until its later stages.

According to the American Cancer Society, ovarian cancer ranks fifth in cancer deaths among women, and early detection remains difficult due to vague symptoms.

Cam has not shared any further details about memorial plans or future music, asking for privacy during this time.
