NLE Choppa has officially declared war on NBA YoungBoy with the release of his scorching new diss track “Hello Revenge,” dropping Thursday night (November 28) as the latest salvo in Hip-Hop’s most heated beef of 2025.

The Memphis rapper, now performing under the moniker NLE The Great, delivered a vicious four-minute assault that directly targets the Baton Rouge star with surgical precision.

Directed by Bryson Potts and Travis Payne, the accompanying music video serves as a visual exclamation point to what many are calling the most aggressive diss track of the year.

“Rap went dead, I’ma bring it back alive/N####, I’m the truth, but the devil is a lie/YB, Louis V. belt to his spine/Anybody with him better get hiim before he cross the line, n####,” NLE The Great spits with venomous intensity on the track.

The “Louis V. belt to his spine” reference appears to refer to October’s “KO” music video, where the “Shotta Flow” hitmaker was seen striking an NBA YoungBoy lookalike with a belt in a shocking visual that sent shockwaves through social media.

But NLE The Great didn’t stop there.

He directly addressed the viral “YB better” meme that YoungBoy’s loyal fanbase has weaponized across social platforms.

“They say, ‘YB better,’ who? I’m the proof that ain’t a statement/They was putting me at two, hmm, change the conversation,” he rapped, effectively dismantling the popular phrase while asserting his own dominance.

The track arrives approximately 10 days after NBA YoungBoy appeared to fire back with “Zero IQ Freestyle,” released on November 17. In that response, the 26-year-old Baton Rouge native seemed to dismiss NLE entirely, rapping: “B####, f### you, you ain’t really Five and healin’ all with real gang hoes / ‘Respond to him,’ he ain’t never ran nothin’ down, b####, I said, ‘No.’”

The beef traces back to NLE Choppa’s explosive “KO” diss track in October, which heavily sampled 2Pac’s legendary “Hit Em Up” and saw the rapper claim that YoungBoy was “poison” to the youth.

The track marked a dramatic escalation in tensions between the two young stars.

In a recent Rolling Stone interview, NLE The Great revealed that the inspiration for “KO” came in a “vivid dream” in which he was “holding a young boy’s head in my hand, and I was bringing the head to my father in the dream.”

The disturbing imagery translated into one of the year’s most talked-about diss records. NBA YoungBoy, fresh off his successful MASA album and his first headlining arena tour that wrapped in October, has maintained his position as one of Hip-Hop’s most prolific artists.

However, NLE The Great’s relentless assault suggests this beef is far from over. The timing of “Hello Revenge” is particularly strategic, arriving just as NBA YoungBoy was scheduled to release his new album Slime Cry on Friday (November 28) at midnight.

However, fans may have to wait longer for that project as the release has been delayed.

Missy Elliott wants answers about why her hit “Car Wash” remake with Christina Aguilera has vanished from streaming platforms nearly 20 years after it dropped for the Shark Tale soundtrack.

The Hip-Hop icon took to X this week to directly question Universal Music Group and Geffen Records after being flooded with messages from listeners wondering why the 2004 track is nowhere to be found online.

“The fans tagged me wanting to know why the song Car Wash on #Sharktale soundtrack not on some streaming sites… Can you please help out because many of them have been asking as you can see and miss it,” she wrote.

The high-energy duet, a modern take on Rose Royce’s 1976 disco classic, became a chart success in several countries upon its release alongside the animated film.

Despite its popularity, the song remains unavailable on primary streaming services, including Spotify and Apple Music. So far, neither Universal nor Geffen has responded publicly to Elliott’s request.

Elliott, who last released a full-length album in 2005 with The Cookbook, followed by her 2019 EP Iconology, recently teased new music during an appearance on the Rolling Stone Music Now podcast.

“I have something in the works,” she said. “It’s just different. It’s me being experimental again… I got some stuff coming. Some fire.”

No timeline has been confirmed for the release of her upcoming material.

GloRilla turned an NBA courtside moment into a viral spectacle Tuesday night when she erupted with joy after Brandon Ingram hit a game-winning shot for the Toronto Raptors, igniting the arena.

The Memphis rapper sprang from her front-row seat with unfiltered excitement as Ingram sank the decisive bucket in the final seconds of the November 26 matchup.

Video clips captured her leaping, shouting and throwing her arms in the air, stealing the spotlight from the hardwood and turning the moment into instant internet gold.

Ingram sank a 15-foot jumper with 0.6 seconds left to give the Raptors a 97-95 over the Indiana Pacers. GloRilla’s reaction spread like wildfire online.

The two confirmed their relationship in September, making it Instagram official with a playful photo together.

After the buzzer-beater, the pair shared a brief handshake courtside, a moment captured and posted by the NBA’s official Instagram account.

GloRilla, 26, has become a regular fixture at Raptors games and one of the NBA’s most recognizable celebrity supporters this season.

Khloe Kardashian didn’t hold back during the latest episode of The Kardashians, dropping a bold comment about her sister Kylie Jenner while filming a promo for a body-swap movie campaign.

While shooting a skit for Freakier Friday, a play on the Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis classic, Khloe was asked in a confessional which sibling she’d trade places with for a day. Her answer? Kylie, of course.

“I would Freaky Friday with Kylie. I would do that because it is Kylie Jenner. We have cool friends. We have fun animals. We live in a fairy tale,” she said, before adding a pointed remark that turned heads. “We’re not dating basketball players (because) we are going to the game court side. (Kylie) is a little bit of Snow White but a little bit of Pretty Woman. Also, I would love to know what those boobs feel like.”

Kylie, 28, didn’t flinch at the comment. “I’m OK with that. I decided,” she told producers with a shrug.

The Kylie Cosmetics founder previously revealed she underwent breast augmentation in 2017, just before getting pregnant with her daughter Stormi Webster.

“I got my breasts done before Stormi… not thinking I would have a child when I was 20,” she explained during a 2023 episode of The Kardashians. “Like, they were still healing. I had beautiful breasts. Natural t**s. Just gorgeous. Perfect size, perfect everything. And I just wish, obviously, I never got them done to begin with. I would recommend anyone who is thinking about it to wait until after children.”

Kylie shares Stormi, now 7, and son Aire, 3, with rapper Travis Scott, her former partner.

Khloe, 41, has joked before about swapping lives with another sister, Kendall Jenner, in a previous season of the show.

“I want to be a supermodel, going around town, I could hook up with this person, not that Kendall does that, but I would be doing that. No kids, no responsibilities, (well) she has responsibilities, but you know what I mean,” she said at the time.

Kim Kardashian received a jarring reality check during a recent episode of The Kardashians when a brain scan revealed what her doctor described as “holes” in her brain activity, just as she was deep into preparations for the California bar exam.

The SKIMS mogul sat down with Dr. Daniel Amen, a psychiatrist known for using brain imaging to assess mental health, who broke down the scan results in blunt terms.

“The low activity meant the front part of her brain wasn’t firing the way it should,” Dr. Amen told Kardashian, who appeared visibly rattled by the findings.

The scan showed reduced function in key areas responsible for focus, decision-making and memory, a fierce blow for someone trying to pass one of the most grueling professional exams in the country.

Kardashian, who had previously been diagnosed with a brain aneurysm, initially dismissed the scan’s implications. But Dr. Amen linked the diminished brain activity to the immense pressure she’s been under while studying.

“It’s stress,” he explained, connecting the dots between her academic grind and neurological fatigue.

At first, Kardashian believed the aneurysm stemmed from the emotional toll of her drawn-out divorce from Kanye West, which had played out under the glare of public scrutiny.

But over time, it became clear that the relentless pace of her legal studies was taking its own toll. Her intense bar prep routine, long hours, high stakes, and little rest had become more than just a mental strain.

According to Dr. Amen, it was physically altering how her brain functions. The scan’s “holes” weren’t literal gaps, but areas of low activity that could impact her ability to retain information and make quick decisions.

For Kardashian, who has already failed the bar exam, that’s a concerning obstacle. Dr. Amen didn’t leave her without tools. He offered her strategies to manage her stress and improve cognitive function.

But the reality remains: Kardashian is stuck in a loop where the very act of studying harder may be making it harder to succeed.

A recently retired H-E-B employee reveals the biggest misconceptions about the brand and its private label offerings. Here’s why she is unabashedly biased towards the Texas retailer.

TikTok creator Brittany (@briztx) posted the “very lengthy PSA” last week. “I have a confession to make,” she said. “I worked for HEB collectively for 17 years.”

Four of those she spent in-store when she was a student in high school and college. After she got her degree, she took a break for a few years, and then later returned to H-E-B where she worked in procurement and food product development.

Brittany retired from H-E-B in June of this year. Not because she didn’t love the work anymore, but because she is the survivor of two different cancers and she decided to focus on her family, which includes three young children. 

“You just kind of have to take a step back and take a minute and a breather,” she said, while acknowledging that H-E-B was incredibly supportive of her during the five-year cancer battle. 

What Does This Former H-E-B Employee Love About the Brand?

Brittany’s work with the food product development team gave her an insight into how the grocer supplies the products that are sold under its private label brand names. “That’s the team that creates the products that are in the HEB, Central Market, Hill Country Fair, Higher Harvest—all the brands,” she said. “So, because of this, sure, I’m biased about HEB’s products. About the quality, the flavor, the expectations of a product on a shelf. Where I would say several other grocers don’t when it comes to their private label products.”

She acknowledged that she is “heavily biased” and said her own family members would attest to that fact. However, she said there’s a good reason for that. “You know too much about ingredients,” said Brittany. “You know too  much about the effort and energy that goes into something. But also HEB cares. They care about the customer. They care about the food that they are serving to Texans. Because, ultimately, at the end of the day health and happiness is the most important. But really food insecurity is the most important and being able to afford your food.”

The ‘Biggest’ Misconception About H-E-B’s Private Label Brands

Then Brittany offered what she believes is the most common misconception when it comes to this topic. “Nothing upsets me more than when I hear people saying, ‘I mean, all food products are the same. They’re just slapping their name on an item,’” she said. “No, no, no. When I tell you about the caliber and expertise of the individuals working at H-E-B. It’s astounding. A lot of people don’t even know this exists. But there are food scientists that work for H-E-B. These people go to school for food development.”

She continued, “There’s food science. There’s chemical engineers that work at H-E-B. These are the incredibly talented, incredibly smart individuals who are putting products into these brands. And they’re not just slapping a label on it. There are standards. I’m not going to go into classified information, if you will, and give away all their trade secrets. But what I will just say is H-E-B is in a caliber of its own.”

She said that H-E-B has over 13 of its own manufacturing facilities. That allows it to make many of the foods it sells under its own brand names. “I think the biggest misnomer is a lot of people think Frito Lay makes HEB’s chips, and that’s not the case,” she said. “HEB has their own manufacturing facility for chips, for ice cream. These aren’t recipes that HEB reverse engineered. These are receipts that the food scientists created with help of the [research and development] teams that work at the labs.”

How does that make a difference? “When Blue Bell was off shelves and it was unsafe?” she said. “HEB stayed on. And it was safe for the customers to consume. HEB led the forefront in removing artificial flavors from their ice cream. So I think there’s just a lot that consumers don’t know. HEB is where it’s at.”

Viewers React to the Texas Woman’s H-E-B PSA

In the comments section of the video, viewers made it clear that Brittany isn’t the only one with a healthy dose of H-E-B love flowing through her veins.

“You’re making me want to leave public education and go work for H-E-B,” wrote one person.
“I drive past like 10+ stores just to get to H-E-B,” said a second viewer.

“H-E-B doesn’t care about us as customers, they care about us as people,” wrote a third person. “Their actions speak volumes: Helping the community, environment, employees, etc.

All Hip Hop contacted Brittany via TikTok comment and direct message for comment. 

@briztx A very lengthy PSA that NO ONE asked for but was heavy on my heart. This is my version of a love letter to H-E-B as an ex-partner. H-E-B is always on the tips of peoples’ lips with lots of opinions and incorrect facts so just want to get a couple of things straight here! Without divulging confidential information – BOY could I go on about all the things the public has wrong. #heb #texas #food #themoreyouknow #branding @H-E-B ♬ original sound – Brittany

Tyrone Blackburn is now under judicial scrutiny after a federal judge flagged a suspicious legal citation in a lawsuit tied to Diddy, raising questions about the use of generative AI in court filings and prompting a mandatory in-person appearance next month.

Judge Leo M. Gordon issued the order after Blackburn submitted an opposition brief in the case involving Diddy accuser Liza Gardner, referencing a case titled United States v. Masha, 99 F.3d 1005 (7th Cir. 2021).

But when Diddy’s attorney Erica Wolff attempted to verify the citation, she told the court it was nowhere to be found.

“We found a matter involving someone named Masha,” Wolff said during a November 17 hearing, “but it does not have that citation, is not in that reporter, is not in the Seventh Circuit, and has absolutely nothing to do with the issues in this case.”

When pressed by Judge Gordon, Blackburn admitted to using generative AI to assist with legal research but insisted he wrote the filing himself.

“Yeah, see, I don’t have all of, I’ve pulled over 200 cases from my, so I will get that. When I go back to my home, I will provide the court with that,” Blackburn told the judge.

The court gave him a deadline to either produce the cited case or notify both the court and opposing counsel that he could not do so. That deadline came and went without a response. Wolff later informed the court that Blackburn also failed to respond to attempts to discuss the issue.

Judge Gordon noted that this was not the first lapse in communication from Blackburn in the Gardner case and cited court rules requiring accuracy and diligence in all filings.

“Mr. Blackburn was included on the email to this Court and has not acknowledged receipt or responded. Despite having every opportunity to do so…Mr. Blackburn has not complied with the court’s directive,” Judge Gordon wrote.

The judge’s order now requires Blackburn to explain why parts of his filing should not be thrown out and why he shouldn’t face penalties for the citation error. The citation issue adds to the ongoing legal battle involving Gardner, who claims that Diddy and singer Aaron Hall assaulted her when she was 16 following an MCA Records event in New York.

According to her lawsuit, she and a friend were taken to Hall’s apartment, given alcohol and coerced into sexual acts. Gardner also alleges Diddy returned days later and physically assaulted her, fearing her friend might talk.

Gardner is seeking to move the case to New Jersey, arguing that significant parts of the alleged misconduct occurred there. Diddy has denied all allegations. Blackburn’s involvement in the Gardner case follows two other high-profile legal disputes where courts questioned his use of AI-generated case law.

In a defamation suit brought by Fat Joe, Blackburn filed a motion to dismiss that included several citations opposing counsel said didn’t exist.

After being called out, Blackburn asked the court for permission to revise the brief to fix the errors. The judge denied the request and criticized the lack of care taken in the original filing.

In another case involving TD Jakes, Blackburn was accused of submitting documents with “bogus” citations that forced the opposing legal team to spend time and money verifying false information.

Jakes’ legal team requested over $70,000 in fees due to the extra work. A judge later sanctioned Blackburn, concluding the filings relied on non-existent case law likely generated by AI and not adequately vetted.

Blackburn is scheduled to appear in person in Newark, New Jersey, on December 3 to respond to Judge Gordon’s concerns.

Q Parker, know as a one-time member of 112, took a moment in his promotional run for his new solo R&B album Evolution of Romance to revisit a topic that has followed him all year. 112 was one of the original roster of Bad Boy Records.

The singer said his support for Sean “Diddy” Combs has not wavered even as the Bad Boy founder continues to fight legal battles that have reshaped the public conversation around him.

The remarks came during an upcoming interview with AllHipHop, where Parker spoke plainly about their connection and the weight of their shared history within the powerhouse label. He said the headlines or sentiments surrounding Combs have not changed how he moves.

“I still feel the same [as earlier in the year],” Parker said. “I don’t believe in cancel culture. When someone makes a mistake, you don’t just throw them away. When I’m down with you, I’m down with you. That doesn’t mean I condone your behavior…it means I support you.”

The Atlanta native said his stance is not blind loyalty but a commitment to letting accountability and grace coexist.

“Nobody’s perfect, and I don’t have a heaven or a hell to put anyone in,” he told Chuck Jigsaw Creekmur. “I’m not going to be super judgmental about someone who changed my life.”

One of the key moments in the discussion involved Parker’s final communication with Combs before the music mogul was detained. Parker said Combs listened to early cuts from Evolution of Romance and offered encouragement one day before authorities took him into custody.

“The day before he was taken away, he gave me his blessings,” Parker said. “I played him three or four songs to get his opinion. He has an incredible musical ear. I really enjoyed that time. It ended up being the day before he was taken away.”

Parker said Combs’ imprint still lives in his creative decisions as an indie act. He pointed to lessons on branding, rehearsal and discipline that shaped 112 during their Bad Boy rise in the 1990s.

“I learned so much from him – marketing, promotion, how to work hard,” Parker said. “I still carry those lessons and pass them on to the people I mentor.”

Even with Combs’ future uncertain, Parker shared confidence that the music executive will eventually stage a larger-than-life return.

“Knowing him, whenever he’s released, there’ll be a celebration,” Parker said. “He doesn’t do anything small. I look forward to seeing him celebrated and celebrating.”

Parker’s new album aims to restore emotional R&B to the center of the genre, something Diddy sought to do with this last project.

Tech N9ne is known for one of the most striking visual identities in Hip-Hop, but according to the Kansas City legend, every mask, clown face, and pair of hospital scrubs traces back to one person: his late mother, Maude “Marty” Sue Yates Khalifa. On this holiday, we reminisce on our conversation with the legend and his love for his mother.

In an interview with AllHipHop, Tech revealed that the dark, theatrical imagery that has followed him throughout his decades-long career wasn’t inspired by comics or horror. Nope, it was born from the hospitals, psychiatric wards and haunted houses he navigated as a child while watching his mother battle lifelong illness.

“People called me a devil worshipper, but all that imagery came from my Christian mama.”

“My mom had grand mal seizures since she was 18,” Tech told Chuck Jigsaw Creekmur. “Throughout my whole childhood, she’d have seizures in our Christian household, and we’d keep her in bed and make sure she didn’t swallow her tongue.”

Everything changed when she remarried when Tech was 12.

Her new husband, a Muslim man, believed she needed psychiatric care after each seizure, which led to her being placed in several psychiatric facilities across Missouri. Those visits left an imprint on young Tech, especially seeing her dressed in oversized hospital scrubs during each stay.

“Every time I’d go visit her, she’d have on hospital scrubs,” he said. “That’s one level of it – the Michael Myers, the killer clown, the dark imagery. All of that came from real life.”

The other half of his unique aesthetic was shaped by his mother’s unusual parenting style.

A devout Christian, she still introduced her son to horror movies and Halloween culture at an early age. She took him to see Carrie in 1976 and the original Halloween premiere in 1978. She brought him through Kansas City haunted houses every October and to circus shows where he developed his childhood fear of clowns, a fear he later transformed into his famous “Killer Clown” persona.

But the most powerful lesson came from her insistence that dark imagery held no spiritual danger.

“She bought me a Dracula action figure,” Tech said. “And she told me, ‘Don’t look at this Dracula any different than your G.I. Joe or your Darth Vader toy. They’re all plastic. They only have the energy you give them.’ That’s something a lot of religious folks don’t teach their kids.”

Tech says that guidance not only shaped his worldview but protected him creatively.

“So when people called me a devil worshipper, I used to laugh,” he said. “They didn’t know all this came from my Christian mama.”

His mother passed away in 2014 from lupus, and Tech says his use of hospital scrubs is a tribute to her. He’s begun wearing the scrubs more often during interviews, prompting fans and reporters to ask about the symbolism.

“This is her garment,” he said. “I wear it in honor of my late great mother, Marty Sue Yates Khalifa.”

The scrubs, the face paint, the killer-clown iconography is less about shock value and more about a son trying to make sense of the world he grew up in. And paying homage to his mother.

“I applied all of it to Tech N9ne,” he said. “And it saved my life.”
