If you’ve been watching the rise of underground voices up north, you’ve probably heard the name 604Blizzy floating around. The Vancouver artist doesn’t move loud, but he moves right. You won’t find him chasing hits or trends. You’ll find him sharpening his sound until it hits the way it’s supposed to.

“I grew up on hip hop. That’s what raised me,” he says. “But at home, it was always Punjabi music. That mix became part of me without even trying.”

That balance shows up in his new collab with Diljit Dosanjh called “Gunda.” The track landed on AURA, Diljit’s album that dropped October 15, 2025. Blizzy slips into the groove with precision, his verse sharp enough to cut through but smooth enough to ride with.

What’s refreshing is how unforced it all feels. “Gunda” isn’t a crossover gimmick, it’s a conversation between two worlds that already understand each other. Blizzy’s tone sits right beside Diljit’s voice, creating something that sounds global without chasing it.

He shrugs when asked about how it happened. “I don’t really plan features like that. If it feels real, I’ll do it. That’s how this came together.”

The chemistry between them is effortless, no forced fusion, no cultural checkbox. It’s just real. “Gunda” feels like two artists meeting in the middle, where Punjabi rhythm meets hip-hop cadence, and both breathe. Diljit brings heart. Blizzy brings grit. Together, they build something neither could have created alone.

That’s been his story from the jump. No label machine. No blueprint. Just movement. Before this moment, Blizzy had already carved a name for himself in underground circles. One of his first big moves came when he brought Payroll Giovanni to Vancouver for a sold-out show that hit capacity, a night that signaled the start of something much larger. Since then, he’s worked with Detroit staples like Payroll Giovanni, Big Quis, BabyTron, and Peezy, connecting regions through raw, independent artistry

“I wanted to learn from the ones who really live it,” he says. “Detroit taught me that you can stay independent and still win.”

Back home, that mindset is shaping a bigger vision. Blizzy isn’t just rapping, he’s directing visuals, structuring rollouts, and overseeing every layer of his releases. Every project feels like a page from a manual he’s writing in real time controlling his own narrative. You can’t deny his work ethic or his skill set and working with an artist like Diljit Dosanjh is no small accomplishment. Gotta give credit where credit is due and 604Blizzy deserves it. 

He’s carried that mindset back home. You’ll catch him behind the mic, behind the camera, and behind the rollout plan. Every move goes through him. The art, the visuals, the details is all his.

But what stands out most about 604Blizzy isn’t the grind. It’s the calm. He talks about his goals like someone who already knows where he’s headed.

He’s building something called The Blizzard Foundation, a space for young creatives to get access to studios and guidance. It’s about mentorship and about giving people a real shot. It’s a platform built for opportunity, not profit. A place for talent that usually gets overlooked to finally get seen, heard, and supported.

“I didn’t have that,” he says. “Now I can build it.”

At its core, The Blizzard Foundation is about lifting others up, giving the next generation of creators a pathway he never had. A foundation rooted in generosity, built out of experience, and driven by the belief that creativity can change lives when given the right environment

That’s the energy. Real hip hop. Self-made, self-taught, self-pushed. No fake hype, no “industry” gloss. Just work. We wish 604Blizzy nothing but success and are excited to see what’s next for him, and for the selfless legacy he will be building with his charitable venture, The Blizzard Foundation.

Eminem spends his mornings locked in the studio, and his legal team says that’s precisely why Real Housewives of Potomac stars Robyn Dixon and Gizelle Bryant are out of line for demanding an all-day, early-morning deposition in a trademark dispute over their podcast name “Reasonably Shady.”

At the heart of the legal fight is whether “Reasonably Shady” is too similar to Eminem’s SHADY trademarks, which have been part of his brand since the late 1990s.

Dixon and Bryant want to lock down the name for their podcast and merchandise. Eminem contends it could confuse consumers and dilute his brand.

The rap icon’s lawyers argue the Housewives are using the deposition as a pressure tactic, not a legitimate effort to gather facts, especially since Eminem doesn’t control the SHADY trademarks at the center of the case.

According to court filings, Eminem is not listed as a witness, doesn’t make decisions about the SHADY brand, and plays no role in its licensing, enforcement or commercial use.

Still, Dixon and Bryant are pushing for a full-day deposition, arguing they need to probe Eminem’s thoughts and motivations behind the SHADY identity.

“Showing his lack of good faith, although requested and suggested by Applicants’ counsel, [Eminem’s] counsel did not propose alternative start times nor any options to accommodate the witness’s availability, including earlier start times or alternate days when [Eminem] would be available for a full day within normal business,” Dixon’s lawyer, Andrea H. Evans, explained.

Em’s legal team calls that a stretch and a distraction.

“[Eminem’s] image, mindset, and intentions…are not relevant to the claims or defenses of this case,” his attorneys wrote, pushing back on the Housewives’ insistence that they need to question the rapper directly.

Eminem’s lawyers say the Housewives rejected a proposed 2 P.M. start time, even after being told that Eminem’s mornings are packed with high-cost studio sessions involving engineers, artists and staff.

“[Eminem] is presently working on new music for various projects, which requires his daily attendance with the people identified below. It is not only difficult and very expensive for him to be out of his studio at such times, but it will also put him behind schedule for the various contracts which have been promised by dates certain,” Paul Rosenberg said. “The reality of Mr. Mather’s schedule is that he needs to be at his studio every morning to meet with the people who rely on his presence when creating new music.”

Both Dixon and Bryant were deposed in less than two hours, and Em’s team says there’s no valid reason they need up to seven hours with someone who doesn’t handle trademark matters.

They also rejected an offer to extend the session into the evening or resume it the next day.

Now, Eminem’s attorneys are asking the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board to limit the deposition to two hours, enforce the afternoon start time, block any broad extension of discovery, and bar any irrelevant questions about his persona or image.

Doja Cat turned up the volume and the drama Tuesday night (November 25) at Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena, delivering a high-energy two-hour set that doubled as a bold response to criticism surrounding her Ma Vie world tour.

The Grammy-winning performer leaned into an ’80s aesthetic, complete with a leopard print bodysuit and half-face makeup that blurred the line between glam rock and performance art.

Backed by a full band featuring brass, bass, and keytar, she reworked tracks from her latest album, Vie, into funk-heavy live arrangements that gave the show a retro pulse.

Despite recent backlash over her Auckland tour opener, where complaints included sparse costume changes and scaled-back production, Doja Cat didn’t mince her words. She addressed critics online with zero filter, writing, “I’m not your costume monkey” and “keep your opinion to yourself.”

Her Melbourne stop came just days after a nightclub appearance in the same city stirred more controversy.

Arriving three hours late, she performed only three songs before exiting due to vocal rest orders for a sore throat. Local outlets slammed the 15-minute set, while attendees voiced their disappointment across social media.

But Tuesday’s arena performance flipped the narrative. Doja Cat moved effortlessly between sultry ballads and hard-hitting rap verses, proving her vocal range and stage command.

A standout moment came during a jazzy version of “Paint the Town Red,” followed by “Gorgeous,” which featured a saxophone solo that stretched into full-blown theater.

Tracks like “One More Time,” “Take Me Dancing” and “Aaahh Men!” were reimagined with funkier arrangements, while older hits like “Wet V#####,” “Ain’t S###” and “Boss B####” were given new life through the band’s brass-forward sound.

The show also highlighted her complicated relationship with her audience. In 2022, she threatened to quit music after backlash from Paraguay fans over a canceled show. Last year, she lost more than 180,000 Instagram followers after telling her supporters to “get a job.”

Still, the Melbourne crowd sang along to every word, and Doja Cat appeared genuinely touched during her closing remarks. The Ma Vie tour continues with stops in Brisbane and Sydney before heading overseas through 2026.

Her Melbourne show proved she’s still in complete control of her narrative, critics or not.

Lil Baby will mark his 31st birthday on December 3 with a gift to his most loyal supporters: the announcement of The Leaks, a project dropping long-rumored tracks and unfinished snippets that have circulated online for years.

The Grammy-winning rapper is packaging the collection as a thank-you to his core audience, pulling from various chapters of his career, from his early mixtape grind to his current chart-topping status.

According to his team, The Leaks is meant to honor “day-one supporters for their unwavering loyalty.”

The Atlanta native teased the rollout of The Leaks through his WHAM Wednesdays series, dropping four new tracks: “All on Me” featuring G Herbo, “Real S###,” “Otha Boy,” and “Try to Love.” Each track offers a different lens into his evolution, from street storytelling to polished studio records.

On his newest single, “Middle of the Summer,” directed by BCPBrandon, he raps, “Middle of the summer in Atlanta, I’m still a cold n—a.”

The track adds to his recent streak of music aimed at reinforcing his place in the Hip-Hop hierarchy. Earlier in 2025, Lil Baby earned his fourth No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 with WHAM, a project that helped fuel his “WHAM WORLD Tour,” which hit major arenas across North America.

The tour featured BigXthaPlug as a special guest and further solidified Baby’s standing as one of the most bankable live acts in rap.

The Leaks will be available across all major platforms on December 3. Pre-saves are currently live.

Celeste Rivas Hernandez and the disturbing reports surrounding her death were directly addressed by the LAPD this week as officials moved to shut down misinformation about the teen’s body being found frozen or mutilated in d4vd‘s Tesla.

LAPD Robbery-Homicide Division Captain Scot Williams spoke plainly to People, frustrated by the swirl of online speculation.

“Celeste’s body was not frozen,” he said. “She was not decapitated. The whole frozen thing doesn’t even make sense. Her body was in the car for weeks.”

Williams added that the science alone debunks the frozen theory.

“Even if she had been frozen solid when she was put in the car (which there is NO evidence to suggest she was), five or more weeks in the trunk of a car in sweltering heat in the middle of summer would not have resulted in a partially frozen body being discovered on September 8th.”

The 15-year-old disappeared from her Lake Elsinore home in April 2024. Her remains were discovered five months later, one day after what would have been her 15th birthday, inside a Tesla towed to a Hollywood Hills impound lot.

The vehicle was registered to 20-year-old R&B artist d4vd, whose real name is David Anthony Burke.

Police sources told People they believe d4vd “most likely had help dismembering and disposing” of Celeste’s body, suggesting the case may involve more than one person. No one has been charged.

The investigation remains tangled, with the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner placing a security hold on all documents connected to Celeste’s death. A court order requested by police is preventing public access to her autopsy and cause of death.

“No records or details associated with the case, including the cause and manner of death and Medical Examiner report, can be released or posted on the website until further notice,” the office said in a statement, adding they recognize “the public’s interest in this case.”

While LAPD leads the probe, d4vd has reportedly not been helpful. Law enforcement sources say he is “not cooperating,” despite earlier claims from his team that he was “fully cooperating” with authorities.

At the time her body was discovered, the singer was on tour. Police later executed a search warrant at a residence where he had been staying, but no arrests have been made.

Celeste’s family situation adds another layer of heartbreak. A post circulating on social media shows her mother expressing anguish, writing, “I haven’t seen my daughter in years!!!!”

The message has drawn attention to the teen’s vulnerable state before her disappearance.

Kim Kardashian landed a major win in streaming television as Hulu officially renewed her legal drama All’s Fair for a second season, despite the show receiving a brutal 3% critic score on Rotten Tomatoes just weeks after its November 4 premiere.

The renewal comes on the heels of All’s Fair pulling in 3.2 million global views, making it Hulu’s most-watched scripted debut in three years. While critics panned the series, viewers responded more favorably, giving it a 66% audience score on the same platform.

Kardashian plays Allura Grant, a sharp-tongued divorce attorney running an all-women law firm in Los Angeles. The show, created by Ryan Murphy, features a powerhouse ensemble cast including Sarah Paulson, Glenn Close, Niecy Nash-Betts, and Naomi Watts, all wrapped in Murphy’s signature high-gloss production style.

The SKIMS mogul didn’t shy away from the negative press. Instead, she leaned into it, posting a carousel of scathing reviews on Instagram shortly after the show debuted. One of the posts even highlighted how the criticism helped fuel curiosity and buzz around the show.

This marks Kardashian’s first lead role in a scripted series, following her smaller part in Murphy’s American Horror Story: Delicate. The renewal signals a pivotal moment in her acting journey as she balances her growing entertainment resume with her business ventures and legal studies.

The show’s performance highlights the widening gap between critical reception and audience engagement, a trend that continues to shape renewal decisions in the streaming world. Despite its rocky reviews, All’s Fair now joins Murphy’s growing lineup of successful series across multiple platforms.

Hulu has not yet released production details or a premiere date for the second season.

The Game is on the way back in the more major way. He has reportedly just pulled off something wild. According to the chatter, The Game walked into a studio on a random day… and walked out with a brand-new Gangsta Grillz. Oh Dip.

50 Cent has locked in December 2 for the premiere of his Netflix docuseries Sean Combs: The Reckoning, a four-part exposé arriving just as Diddy faces the fallout from his criminal conviction and a career in freefall.

The timing is deliberate.

The series, produced by 50’s G-Unit Film & Television, promises a deep dive into Diddy’s rise as a Hip-Hop mogul and the controversies that now define his public image.

“They said was capping,
what happened?” 50 Cent joked on Instagram while diddy’s infamousI “Diddy dit  it”  verse from the “I Get Money” remix played.

The teaser features former Bad Boy artist Mark Curry saying, “You can’t continue to keep hurting people and nothing ever happens. It’s just a matter of time.”

View this post on Instagram

Directed by Alexandria Stapleton, the documentary includes interviews with former collaborators, childhood acquaintances and industry insiders.

The filmmakers say it will feature “explosive, never-before-seen materials” and aim to present both Diddy’s influence on Hip-Hop culture and the allegations that have shadowed his legacy.

The project also marks a personal milestone in Jackson’s long-running feud with Diddy, which began in the late 1990s and escalated through years of business rivalry and personal jabs. Jackson has consistently used social media to criticize Diddy, especially as legal troubles mounted.

He often posted memes and commentary following each new allegation or court appearance, portraying himself as someone who saw through Diddy’s public image long before others.

Diddy was convicted in October on transportation charges linked to prostitution, though he was acquitted of more serious sex trafficking and racketeering charges.

He was sentenced to just over four years in federal prison. His expected release date was initially May 2028 but was recently extended to June 2028 due to reported violations of prison rules, according to NBC News.

While the elder Diddy remains incarcerated at Fort Dix Federal Correctional Institution, his son Christian “King” Combs is holding onto hope.

Speaking to TMZ at Los Angeles International Airport, the 27-year-old said, “He’s doing good, everything is good. He’ll be home soon.”

He added that the family is “keeping [their] fingers crossed” for a Christmas miracle.

King Combs has been one of his father’s most vocal supporters, even writing a letter to the judge stating,

“I’m asking you to please let my father out of jail!” and calling him “the best father in the whole world.” Much of his optimism appears to stem from speculation about a potential presidential pardon, though the White House has already dismissed those rumors.

If Diddy does manage to return home by the holidays, he may find himself watching Jackson’s documentary from his living room, a surreal twist in a saga that has blurred the lines between personal vendetta and public reckoning.

GloRilla capped off a milestone-packed 2025 with one bold declaration in Los Angeles: she’s gunning for a collaboration with Beyoncé and isn’t shy about it.

“Beyoncé, of course!” GloRilla told OK Magazine when asked about her dream studio partner.

That confident answer came after a year that’s seen the Memphis rapper rack up accolades, festival stages and major brand deals, making her Queen Bey wish list feel less like a fantasy and more like a matter of time.

The 24-year-old hitmaker was named to TIME’s 100 Next list this year, with Teyana Taylor praising her for staying authentic and pushing boundaries. That recognition helped solidify her place in the next wave of Hip-Hop’s elite.

At the 2025 BMI R&B/Hip-Hop Awards, she walked away with both the Impact Award and Songwriter of the Year, two honors that reflect her growing influence behind the mic and pen.

Her collaborations this year have also been strategic and diverse.

She joined forces with Tyler, the Creator on “Sticky,” a track that earned a Grammy nomination for Best Rap Song. She also appeared on Kirk Franklin’s “Rain Down On Me,” which won the BET Award for Best Gospel/Inspirational Song.

In February, GloRilla made fashion history by becoming the first artist to simultaneously represent all four of Rihanna’s Fenty brands, Fenty Beauty, Fenty Skin, Savage X Fenty and Fenty by Rihanna.

The move signaled her crossover appeal and business savvy, making her a rare artist who thrives in both music and branding.

On the live performance front, she wrapped her Glorious Tour with a headlining slot at Coachella in April and joined Megan Thee Stallion on the Hot Girl Summer Tour, adding more high-profile festival appearances to her résumé.

She also used the stage at Camp Flog Gnaw to unveil a new track titled “Special”, which highlights her evolving sound and lyrical depth. The song’s debut further showcased her versatility and hinted at what’s next.

With a Grammy nod, significant awards, and brand deals already in her pocket, GloRilla’s Beyoncé ambition doesn’t seem far-fetched. If 2025 was her breakout, 2026 might just be her crowning moment.

Keenyah Hill says she’s being harassed and threatened after a livestream moment with PlaqueBoyMax went viral for all the wrong reasons.

The former America’s Next Top Model contestant claims she’s now receiving death threats after the popular streamer rejected her request for a kiss during a livestream that was meant to highlight his Grammy nomination and Streamer of the Year campaign.

“This new generation…y’all need some help. The fact that some people have found my family members’ phone numbers, including my mother, and are texting threats is unacceptable and deplorable,” she said. “I’m going to leave the text here, but this is nasty. This is nasty. This was never, ever any of my intention at all. And I am really praying for everyone.”

Hill said the fallout has become dangerous. She posted screenshots of alleged threats and claimed her family members, including her mother, have been targeted.

The awkward moment unfolded when Hill approached PlaqueBoyMax during the stream and introduced herself with, “I’m from America’s Next Top Model and I don’t know who you are, but you’re out here talking about Black Excellence.”

The streamer responded by listing his accolades, including a Grammy nod for his collaboration with Fred again and Skepta.

Hill then offered to promote him on her Instagram story before asking, “Are you going to give me a little smooch?” PlaqueBoyMax declined immediately, repeating “I can’t do that” before walking away. The interaction was broadcast live to thousands of viewers.

Hill later took to Instagram to criticize the streamer for using the footage.

“I asked you not to use that footage. Not only did you use the footage, but out of everybody there, you talked to a lot of people. We heard you a mile away. That was the only footage that you used,” she said, seemingly oblivious to the fact that he was streaming live.

PlaqueBoyMax addressed the backlash on a later stream, defending his decision to keep the footage up and explaining the nature of live content.

“Kenya, you went to college. Kenya, you won’t understand that a live stream is a live stream. What does the word live mean? It mean live. I can’t edit the live stream,” he said.

Many PlaqueBoyMax’s fans are giving him props for setting boundaries and staying respectful to his girlfriend, while others criticized Hill’s approach as inappropriate to begin with.
