Mack Mulla teamed up with Jim Jones, Cassidy and Albee Al before his rap dreams collapsed in a federal courtroom, where he was sentenced to over 20 years for running a multi-state drug ring.

The 32-year-old New York rapper, born James Rodriguez Jr., was handed a 242-month federal prison sentence by U.S. District Court Judge Robert D. Mariani.

The conviction capped off a sprawling case that linked his Hip-Hop persona to a fentanyl and marijuana trafficking operation stretching from Pennsylvania to New York.

According to federal prosecutors, Mulla used his music connections and a storefront called Mulla Fashion on Scott Street as a front for his narcotics business.

The building doubled as a clothing shop and recording studio, but behind the scenes, it served as the command center for a drug enterprise that moved over a kilogram of fentanyl and eight kilograms of marijuana between 2021 and 2022.

During coordinated raids, law enforcement uncovered 800 grams of marijuana, 37 grams of fentanyl, firearms and tactical gear at the Scott Street location. A second stash house in Wilkes-Barre turned up 159 grams of fentanyl, 400 grams of marijuana and more weapons.

Investigators also discovered that Mulla had international ties, including documented travel to Mexico, where he allegedly met with members of the MS-13 gang to secure supply lines.

The case nearly escalated further when prosecutors charged Mulla with drug delivery resulting in death.

They claimed that the drugs he supplied led to the fatal overdose of Luzerne County resident Anthony Greskewicz in October 2021. However, a jury acquitted him of that charge and another related to firearm possession during drug trafficking.

The investigation was a joint effort involving the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, Homeland Security Investigations, Kingston police and the Luzerne County Drug Task Force.

Kylie Jenner proved that winter weather is no match for her sizzling style, serving up serious heat in a metallic silver lamé bikini that had fans doing double-takes across social media.

The 27-year-old beauty mogul shared a carousel of sultry snapshots on Instagram Monday, showcasing her famous curves in the light-catching string bikini while lounging poolside at her LA mansion. The reality star captioned her post with a simple but telling message: “was a pretty perfect sunday … <3.”

Jenner’s metallic moment featured multiple angles of the eye-catching swimwear, with the silver lamé material catching every ray of California sunshine as she posed by her backyard pool. In one particularly striking shot, the Kylie Cosmetics founder runs her hands through her hair, showing off a collection of silver-toned rings that perfectly complement her shimmering bikini.

The Instagram carousel didn’t stop at poolside glamour. Jenner included intimate shower selfies that revealed massive diamond stud earrings, adding even more sparkle to her already dazzling look. The final images captured a breathtaking sunset over the Hollywood Hills, painting the perfect backdrop for what she clearly considered an ideal Sunday afternoon.

While most of the country was bundling up in winter coats, Jenner’s LA lifestyle allowed her to embrace the season’s metallic trend in the most skin-baring way possible. The silver lamé bikini represented a masterclass in holiday styling, proving that festive fashion doesn’t always require layers and long sleeves.

The post quickly racked up over 2.7 million likes within 24 hours, with fans flooding the comments section with fire emojis and praise for the stunning shots.

Jenner’s bikini content has become somewhat rare lately, making this silver moment even more special for her devoted followers.

The timing of the post comes on the heels of big sis Kim Kardashian blowing up the internet with a series of busty pictures as she floated in a pool and basically nothing more than her underwear.

JT from City Girls might be tapping out of the music game… at least for now.

Word is JT hit the stage recently and the crowd just wasn’t rocking with her. Not a little bit. Not at all. She tried everything to pull them in. She talked to them. She joked with them. She even revealed her age, saying she’s 33 (in December) and “one of y’all,” hoping the audience would warm up. But none of it moved the room.

JT gives up on her already dead music career after the audience failed to sing any of her songs at a recent concert.

“I’m done, I’m doing no more shows”

This is quite shocking because her Twitter audience said she’s bigger than Cardi B in real life. What happened? pic.twitter.com/O89sOrI0Q0

At one point, she admitted she doesn’t even know what “category” she fits in anymore. And after trying to win them over to no avail, she finally gave up, walked off, and reportedly said she’s done performing.

Now, before anybody tries to run with that, let’s keep it real. I don’t believe she’s truly quitting music. It sounds more like frustration meeting a bad environment. That show was full of legacy acts, artists with decades of history. That crowd came for nostalgia, not new energy. Wrong place, wrong time, wrong demographic.

And honestly, the City Girls haven’t been the City Girls in a minute anyway. One wrapped up in that Diddy mess, the other dating an “interesting” dude, and the momentum just fell apart. Individually, nobody’s checking for solo dominance. Together, though? That was the magic. That was the formula.

JT is talented, she’s strikingly beautiful, and she has star presence. But she needs to be in front of her own audience and back in the booth with Young Miami. That’s where the power is. That’s where the checks are. That’s where the love is.

This video is tough to watch, no question. But quitting? She’ll calm down. She’ll regroup. She’ll be back on a stage where the crowd actually came to see her.

Because being placed on a bill full of legends will have anybody feeling overlooked.

What tf is up with these rappers?

Offset just became the centerpiece of a swirling mess involving Stefon Diggs, Cardi B, secret text messages, and a seductive Instagram model who claims she was enlisted to run a play worthy of a primetime soap opera. Let’s be honest, this whole situation feels like a Hip-Hop remix of Fatal Attraction with a splash of NFL drama and social media theatrics sprinkled on top.

Offset reportedly tried to recruit this model to get close to Stefon Diggs. According to her, he wanted her to “hook up” with the star wide receiver for the purpose of a set up. The implications alone are wild. It is not spelled out completely, but the reading between the lines is clear and the assumption is he wanted to fracture whatever Cardi and Diggs have going on. This is a whole new level of messy strategy and I cannot recall seeing a man pull a stunt like this in the celebrity sphere.

Keep in mind, Offset and Cardi B are still married. That divorce has not been finalized and has been lingering for months. Word has been that Offset is making the process difficult because of his financial demands. While that is going on, Cardi is on social media talking skin care and moisturizers, not missing a beat while all this noise swirls around her. Meanwhile, this model says she had some sort of money-based arrangement with Offset and it went left, eventually leading her to blast him publicly.

The internet has already decided this is stalkerish behavior and some fans are suggesting Cardi B might want to go ahead and pull out the restraining order paperwork. If these allegations are true, this feels way beyond the typical celebrity breakup drama. It hits that uncomfortable zone where people start worrying about safety. The irony is thick too. He reportedly cheated, she moved on, and now he is allegedly furious about her moving forward with her life.

Hip-Hop has seen its fair share of chaos, but this one is a new chapter of bizarre. Someone once said “Hard rocks are getting weirder” and that might be one of the most prophetic lines ever. Because this? This is weird on top of weird, wrapped in weird, dipped in a bucket of weird.

Let’s hope it ends here before the saga reaches another level.

I think she knows she made a mess.

Jordyn Goor just dropped another explosive screenshot of her heated exchange with Offset, escalating the drama surrounding allegations that the Migos rapper plotted to set up Stefon Diggs.

The latest messages appear to show Offset issuing territorial warnings after Goor exposed his alleged scheme. The new screenshot reveals a tense back-and-forth between the Miami-based influencer and someone alleged to be Offset, beginning with him sending a crying-laughing emoji followed by “Get back gang.”

He continues with a string of warnings: “U should go back home to Tampa,” “U can’t go no where heee,” and “Work nun u will see,” before adding “All owners” and “Brrrrrrrr.”

Goor replies “i’ll be alright boo,” then follows with “tender off the boneeeee.”

She ends the exchange with a direct shot at his personal life, telling him “u should go back home to your kids… oh wait,” a pointed reference to his divorce from Cardi B.

This latest revelation comes after Goor initially accused Offset of pressuring her to reveal Diggs’ location so he could orchestrate some form of retaliation against the NFL star. The model claims Offset was seeking revenge after learning that Diggs had fathered a child with his estranged wife Cardi B.

In her original allegations, Goor shared screenshots showing Offset allegedly calling her an “Opp ass n***a” on November 16 and demanding she “Give drop or don’t come back around.”

The messages appeared to show Goor initially agreeing to the setup before growing frustrated with the rapper’s behavior. A source close to Offset told TMZ that “this girl has an ongoing beef with Set and is now looking to blow this up into something it’s not. Their feud has no connection to Diggs.”

The latest drama comes after Offset allegedly posted and quickly deleted a message claiming paternity of Cardi B and Diggs’ newborn baby, writing “That’s my kid.”

Though Offset’s representatives later dismissed the post as fake, the incident added fuel to an already volatile situation between the former couple. Cardi B has been vocal about feeling harassed by her estranged husband, telling fans that Offset has been bothering her behind the scenes.

The “WAP” rapper recently expressed concerns for her safety, aligning with Goor’s claims about the rapper’s alleged threatening behavior. Goor’s continued release of alleged screenshots suggests the conflict between them remains far from resolved.

Offset has been absent from Instagram since last week after denying he made the posts about Cardi’s baby.

Travis Scott demolished every expectation in the touring world, cementing his Circus Maximus Tour as the highest-grossing solo rap expedition in music history.

The Houston native’s global rampage generated a staggering $265.1 million across 2.1 million tickets sold, according to Live Nation figures reported to Billboard Boxscore. The achievement arrives during a peculiar moment for Hip-Hop’s mainstream visibility.

For the first time since February 2, 1990, when Biz Markie’s “Just a Friend” sat at No. 41, zero rap tracks occupied the Billboard Hot 100’s top 40 positions.

The drought began when Kendrick Lamar and SZA’s 13-week chart-topper “Luther” fell off the Hot 100 dated October 25, 2025. The drought ended very quickly, after Megan Thee Stallion’s “Lover Girl” debuted at #38 for the week of November 8.

Yet Scott’s touring dominance tells a different story about Hip-Hop’s commercial power. His 80-plus shows spanned six continents, 20+ countries, and 50+ cities.

The trek kicked off in North American arenas in October 2023, before Scott conquered California’s SoFi Stadium and stadiums worldwide in Europe.

The Cactus Jack boss brought out heavyweight collaborators including Ye, Teezo Touchdown, Yung Lean, Don Toliver, Sheck Wes, Babyface Ray, Skilla Baby, Veeze and Nav.

His setlist featured 475 performances of “FE!N” alone, turning stadiums into rage-fueled cauldrons across the globe.

Scott’s tour supported his 2023 album Utopia, which topped the Billboard 200 with 496,000 total album-equivalent units. All 19 tracks from the LP debuted on the Billboard Hot 100, demonstrating Hip-Hop’s streaming strength even as radio play diminishes.

The genre’s touring sector continues thriving despite chart struggles. Kendrick Lamar‘s Grand National Tour with SZA has reportedly grossed $332.1 million through 34 of 47 shows, according to touring data.

Drake‘s “It’s All a Blur Tour” with 21 Savage and later J. Cole generated $320.5 million across 80 shows from July 2023 through 2024, dwarfing most pop and rock contemporaries, proving Hip-Hop’s power is still unmatched.

The Grammy-winning icon, dressed in a tailored leather racing suit, joined husband Jay-Z trackside for a rare public appearance that stole the spotlight from the racing elite.

Hamilton, the seven-time world champion who recently announced his upcoming move to Ferrari, personally took Beyoncé on a “hot lap” — a high-speed demonstration run meant to showcase the capabilities of an F1 car. The British driver pushed the car to its limits, hitting 200mph as Beyoncé experienced the same G-forces that professional racers endure during competition.

Video clips from the ride showed Beyoncé visibly rattled but smiling, capturing a rare moment where even one of the world’s most composed performers looked slightly overwhelmed by the raw intensity of Formula 1 racing.

After the adrenaline-pumping lap, the trio, Hamilton, Beyoncé and Jay-Z posed for photos with Travis Scott and Michael Rubin, forming a moment of crossover cool between Hip-Hop, sports and business that quickly spread across social media.

The race itself ended with Red Bull’s Max Verstappen taking the win, his second straight in Vegas, while Hamilton crossed the line in 10th, earning the final points-paying position.

Ghetts is now facing three criminal charges tied to a deadly crash in northeast London that killed 20-year-old Yubin Tamang and left a trail of legal trouble stretching across multiple boroughs.

The 40-year-old grime artist was initially charged with causing death by dangerous driving. Prosecutors have now added two more dangerous driving charges, alleging he drove recklessly both before and after the fatal collision on October 18.

According to authorities, Ghetts started his erratic driving in central London’s Tavistock Place, weaving through Camden before striking Tamang around 11:30 p.m. Tamang died two days later, on October 20, prompting the case to shift from a traffic incident to a criminal investigation.

Prosecutors claim Ghetts didn’t stop after the collision. Instead, they say he continued driving dangerously through the city as he headed back to his home in Woodford. Police say the black BMW involved in the incident was registered and insured in his name and sustained visible damage.

The victim’s family, who traveled from Nepal to attend the court proceedings, watched from the gallery as Ghetts appeared via videolink from prison. He did not enter a plea and was ordered to remain in custody.

Ghetts rose to prominence as a founding member of the Nasty Crew, a key collective in the early 2000s grime scene.

Known first as “Ghetto” before adopting the name Ghetts, he became one of the genre’s most respected lyricists. His transition into acting led to a role in Netflix’s superhero series “Supacell.”

The fatal crash and subsequent charges mark a dramatic turn for an artist who built his name from the underground up.

Michael B. Jordan leaned on subtle physical cues, including wearing mismatched shoe sizes, to distinguish between the twin brothers he portrayed in Sinners, the Mississippi-set vampire thriller that’s already generating awards buzz.

In the BAFTA Playback series, the Creed star broke down his method for playing Smoke and Stack, siblings who return to their Southern roots to open a juke joint that draws the attention of bloodthirsty locals. Jordan revealed he used different-sized footwear to help define each character’s physicality.

“You know, I wore bigger shoes for Smoke, because he didn’t really move around too much. He was, you know, I had him be grounded,” Jordan said. “I had smaller shoes for Stack, because he was never sitting in one place. So, he always felt like he had to move and kind of be lighter on his feet. So, just little things like that added to, you know, how they held their body when they rest, their face, the cadence in their speech.”

The actor, who previously teamed with Ryan Coogler on Black Panther and Fruitvale Station, said he worked from the inside out to shape the twins, focusing on their emotional backstory and trauma.

Although Sinners features vampires, Jordan said he intentionally avoided watching other vampire films while preparing for the role.

“Honestly, (I had) no real inspirations when it came to what kind of vampire I was going to be,” he said. “You know, (I) really wanted to be very specific to the world (that) we were creating down there and tried really hard not to watch too many other things to influence what we were trying to make.”

Sinners, which debuted in April, has been both a critical and commercial hit. The film is expected to be a strong contender during awards season, following its successful release.

The comments came during BAFTA Playback, a six-part video series sponsored by Samsung, where actors reflect on pivotal moments in their careers.

Juelz Santana just kicked up a firestorm online. And this one is a doozy. The moment people heard him say you don’t really need to read, the Internet went off. Now, to be clear, the Dipset star did not exactly stand on that, but he said enough. The clip shows him trying to make a larger point about business, money and knowing how to maneuver in the real world. But the way he framed…really made no sense. In fact, it was dumb.

Juelz basically implied that reading is optional in 2025. He leaned into the idea that financial literacy, owning a business and understanding money is more important than sitting down with a book. He pointed to audiobooks and YouTube clips as proof that you can “read” without actually reading. And that is when the conversation went into a debate.

View this post on Instagram

The thing is, you cannot separate learning from literacy. It is in the very word. You cannot talk about financial literacy while downplaying literacy itself. That is like trying to bake a cake without flour. There is a foundational element that has to be there or the whole thing collapses into dust. But Juelz doubled down in that clip and suggested you can still make it without knowing how to read in the traditional sense.

People online were not having it. At all. Enslaved Africans were banned from reading for a reason. Knowledge opens doors. Reading is how you unlock that knowledge. A lot of folks felt Juelz was pushing the culture backward with his viewpoint.

To be fair, we get what he was trying to say. The world has changed. Technology has evolved. Information is everywhere. You can learn a lot on your phone. But telling kids reading is optional? That is dangerous territory. Relax on telling the kids not to read or that it does not matter, bruh.

Maybe he can apologize like he did for pushing lean to the kids.

The Dipset legacy is too iconic for Juelz to go viral for the wrong reasons. Kids, if you are reading this: there is nothing cooler than being able to read, think, question and understand the world around you.

The oppressors of the past knew that. The oppressors of the present know. We should know it even more.
