Tyla is putting rumors to rest following a viral video from Monday night’s Met Gala that appeared to show an awkward exchange between her and Rihanna. The “Water” singer took to social media to clarify the interaction after fans speculated that the Fenty Beauty mogul had intentionally snubbed the rising star. The footage, which circulated widely across X and TikTok, showed Tyla approaching Rihanna outside the Metropolitan Museum of Art. In the clip, the conversation appeared brief and ended abruptly, leading some social media users to suggest there was tension between the two artists. Tyla, however, explained that the situation was far more mundane than the internet narrative suggested. “I met her, but I think she was occupied,” Tyla said in a video addressing the moment. “I went up to her and was like, ‘Oh hey, you know,’ and she was like, ‘Hey, um… my baby daddy’s calling me,’ and then she left. I was like, Oop!” Tyla confirmed that Rihanna’s partner, A$AP Rocky, was simply ready to depart, prompting the quick exit. View this post on Instagram

Florida rapper YNW Melly, whose real name is Jamell Demons, will remain jailed without bond after a Florida judge denied his latest request for pretrial release. Judge Martin S. Fein ordered that prosecutors still present sufficient evidence to support a conviction in the double-murder case pending in Broward County. State of FL v. @YNWMelly: Judge Martin S. Fein filed an order on May 6 DENYING YNW Melly, real name Jamell Demons, Bond pending retrial. In the 39-page document, during the April 30 hearing, Judge Fein reviewed the full case file, prior trial evidence, and testimony from… pic.twitter.com/9NVNFc1cEZ — Bryson “Boom” Paul (@brysonboompaul) May 7, 2026 The order followed an April 30 evidentiary hearing in Fort Lauderdale. The court reviewed testimony, prior trial evidence, and the broader electronic court record. Witnesses Audrey Gross, Nikaya Mirhadi-Pathon, Kevin Corbett, Matthew Norman and Victor Delgado all testified. The court found each witness credible. YNW Melly turned 28-years-old on May 1. He rose to superstardom in 2018 with the hit song “Murder On My Mind.” He surrendered himself to the Broward Sheriffs in 2019. Rapper YNW Melly Denied Bond Once Again By Broward County Judge The judge wrote that, after reviewing evidence introduced by both sides. Stating, “the State’s evidence is arguably sufficient to convict, it is not contradicted in a material respect such that there is a substantial question of fact as to the guilt or innocence of the Defendant.” Citing the appellate decision in Gallo v. Lamberti, the court added that “the proof of guilt is evident and the presumption of guilt is great.” The legal standard required to deny bond in capital cases under Florida law. The ruling also incorporated earlier decisions denying bond requests filed in 2023 and 2025 following the Demons’ mistrial. The court noted that a December 2023 omnibus suppression order excluded certain evidence. However, the judge declined to adopt one finding from the 2023 order. The court states, “does not make any findings that the Defendant has been affiliated with violent gangs.’” Demons remains held without bond on both counts as the prosecution brought by the State of Florida proceeds. The retrial is January 6, 2027, in Broward County Court.

Multi-platinum rapper Kodak Black, real name Bill Kapri, was arrested on drug trafficking charges in Orange County, Florida — according to booking records. The 28-year-old rap star remained in custody at the Orange County Jail as of Wednesday evening. Authorities have not disclosed additional details about the investigation, including the alleged controlled substance tied to the trafficking accusation. The arrest marks the latest legal development for the South Florida native, whose criminal cases have spanned multiple jurisdictions in recent years. Court officials have not yet released information regarding bond, a first appearance hearing, or defense counsel representation in the current matter. “No Flockin” Rap Star Kodak Black Arrested In Orange County, Florida, On Drug Trafficking Charges Kapri previously faced charges in Broward County following a 2023 arrest involving allegations of cocaine possession, evidence tampering, and probation violations. Prosecutors pursued those charges while the rapper remained active professionally, continuing music releases and public appearances during the proceedings. In 2022, law enforcement also arrested Kapri on allegations related to oxycodone trafficking and possession of a controlled substance without a prescription. Officers additionally cited him for operating a vehicle with an expired driver’s license and registration. The newest case adds to a lengthy legal record that has frequently intersected with the rapper’s commercial success. Kodak Black gained national recognition in the mid-2010s through tracks such as “No Flockin” and “Tunnel Vision.” His albums, including Painting Pictures and Back for Everything, achieved significant chart success despite recurring legal scrutiny. Authorities have not indicated whether additional charges could emerge from the Orange County investigation. Prosecutors and investigators also have not commented publicly on the evidence underlying the trafficking allegation. The arrest generated an immediate online reaction as fans and commentators debated the rapper’s future. Meanwhile, court proceedings in Orange County are expected to determine the next phase of the case.

He shared a post on Instagram about new music on the way on Tuesday. View this post on Instagram One viral post read, “Damn they killed Key Glock.” The rumor quickly spread across X, formerly Twitter, where users immediately began questioning the story. “Who posted that Key Glock dead,” one user wrote. Another added, “Does Key Glock know he dead?” Despite the viral panic, no evidence supported the claims.

Key Glock’s official pages also remained active, with no indication of an emergency. Young Dolph’s protege and Memphis Rapper Key Glock’s Death Rumors Debunked By Fans The hoax appears connected to a misleading YouTube video using a sensational headline to attract clicks and engagement.

Fans reacted with disbelief as screenshots continued circulating online. “He ain’t dead,” one commenter wrote beneath a reposted rumor. Another added, “He’s alive.

Emerging Atlanta rapper Jayy Wick, known for the hit song “Pork Chop Sammich,” is facing attempted murder charges. Florida authorities accused the rising star of shooting a teenager during a crowded beach gathering before performing at a nightclub later that night. Fox 5 broke the news on Wednesday evening. According to the Bay County Sheriff’s Office, investigators arrested the 26-year-old artist, born Donald Anderson, in Atlanta on May 6 in connection with an April 25 shooting in Panama City Beach. Deputies allege Anderson shot an 18-year-old multiple times near a busy waterfront area filled with spring visitors. Authorities said the rapper left the scene after the gunfire and continued with his scheduled appearance at Vibez Night Club in Panama City hours later. In a statement, investigators alleged Anderson “continued his night as if nothing happened” following the shooting. Law enforcement later tracked Anderson to Atlanta, where officers took him into custody and recovered a firearm during the arrest operation. Prosecutors charged him with first-degree attempted murder. Officials confirmed he is awaiting extradition to Florida. The victim survived the shooting, though investigators have not disclosed the teen’s medical condition or identified a motive.

Kim Kardashian is reportedly stepping away from her legal studies following a setback in her journey to become a licensed attorney. According to TMZ, Kardashian, 45, has decided to postpone future attempts at the California bar exam until at least 2027. The decision comes after the “Kardashians” star reportedly skipped the February administration of the rigorous test and does not plan to sit for the upcoming July exam. While Kardashian spent years documenting her legal aspirations on her Hulu reality series. The California bar exam is widely considered one of the most difficult professional licensure tests in the United States. While Kardashian has only sat for the full bar exam once, her path to that point was marked by persistence. Kardashian took the First-Year Law Students’ Examination, colloquially known as the “baby bar,” four times before successfully passing in 2021. “I failed this exam three times in two years, but I got back up each time and studied harder and tried again until I did it,” Kardashian said following her 2021 success. This determination initially fueled her transition into more advanced legal coursework, though the difficulty of the final bar exam has proven to be a more formidable hurdle. Insiders close to the Skims founder said the latest failure “broke her confidence,” leading to the current hiatus. Kim Reportedly Takes a Break: Despite the pause, Kardashian has not officially retired from her quest to follow in the footsteps of her late father, Robert Kardashian, who was a prominent defense attorney. Her legal work has already made a tangible impact on the American justice system; she has been a vocal advocate for criminal justice reform and has successfully lobbied for the clemency of several non-violent offenders. California is one of the few states that allows individuals to become lawyers through a “law office study program” rather than attending an accredited law school, provided they apprentice under a judge or attorney.

Federal agents arrested Peewee Longway in Georgia in September 2024, marking the start of a sweeping case. This case quickly placed the rapper under serious legal pressure. Prosecutors later outlined a five-count federal indictment tied to alleged drug distribution and firearms violations. In filings, they claimed a studio associated with Longway contained roughly 3,000 fentanyl pills, along with six firearms. Additionally, they said additional weapons were recovered at his residence. The government also pointed to what it described as “compelling evidence tying defendant to a transaction involving 4 kg of meth, which was trafficked through the studio.” Investigators further referenced text messages they say support allegations of coordinated drug activity. This added weight to a case that carried the potential for a decades-long sentence if fully prosecuted. Court documents cited by Complex indicate Longway accepted a plea agreement on April 1. He pleaded guilty to two federal charges: Conspiracy to Possess with Intent to Distribute Controlled Substances and Possession of a Firearm by a Convicted Felon. Under the deal, prosecutors agreed to recommend a sentence of up to 14 years in federal prison. Meanwhile, his defense agreed not to push for anything below 10. The arrangement significantly narrowed the range of possible outcomes compared with the original indictment. Feds are auctioning off PeeWee Longway’s jewelry smh pic.twitter.com/iiw4KHWi65 — THUGGERDAILY ひ (@ThuggerDaily) May 6, 2026 Longway Awaits Sentencing as Federal Case and Asset Seizures Continue Sentencing is scheduled for July 9, when a judge will decide the final term within that window. Longway remains in custody as he awaits that hearing. A separate federal case in Georgia tied to him continues to move forward with few publicly available updates. In a separate development, authorities have also begun disposing of assets connected to the investigation. Reports indicate that several pieces of Longway’s jewelry were seized and later auctioned by the federal government. Individual items sold for thousands of dollars as part of ongoing forfeiture proceedings.

Isaiah Rashad has spent much of his career in a space where critical praise rarely matches mainstream attention. His new album, It’s Been Awful, arrives after a five-year pause and reads less like a reset than a document of continuity. It is released under the Top Dawg Entertainment banner. In addition, it opens a window into a period shaped as much by introspection as by disruption. That context lingers from 2022. At that time, a private sex tape involving Rashad surfaced online and drew intense public focus to his sexuality and personal life. In a recent interview, Rashad spoke with unusual directness about what followed. “I went through some shit to an extent, but it was, you know… between being an artist and the expectations of that, and I guess the deconstruction of my masculinity, it’s been a lot of getting to know myself,” He continued, “I’m blessed to how everything happened with me,” he continued. “And the reception of everything. Because it allowed me to really step back and re-examine what I was doing. ‘Cause regardless of how much I love myself, I still put myself in an irresponsible situation for anyone to control my narrative.” The comments reflect an artist sorting through both public reaction and private recalibration. Isaiah Rashad on Identity, Visibility, and Finding Himself He also addressed how identity can become harder to define when it is constantly interpreted by others. “At some point, I’ve accepted that they don’t make a manual for being a bisexual Black men or any of that type of shit. It was less hiding myself from anything, and more so not knowing how to not be ostracized.” The line reads less like closure and more like an ongoing accounting of uncertainty. In the time since the leak, Rashad has occasionally spoken to audiences directly, including a moment of acknowledgment at Coachella. He later expanded on those reflections in a conversation with Joe Budden. In that discussion, he described a process still unfolding, shaped by visibility, discomfort, and the slow work of self-understanding.

Lil Tjay returned to the spotlight last week with They Just Ain’t You, a project that leans into reflection while maintaining his melodic edge. Days later, he expanded the release with a deluxe version, the Big One Edition, anchored by a single new track titled “Go Tati.” That addition quickly drew attention, not for its sound alone but for its target. The record arrives amid allegations leveled by Tatiana Chanell against Real Boston Richey, claims that include abuse, kidnapping, and grooming, all of which he has publicly denied. Into that volatile backdrop, Tjay inserts himself with a song that leaves little room for ambiguity. Across the track, his lyrics move with intent, weaving references to Chanell while directing pointed criticism at Richey. “She said she don’t want no rat no more, shawty want a goon / On the ‘Gram tellin’ your business like he tellin’ in that room,” he raps, setting the tone early. He follows with, “What you say? Go Tati, do your big one / Know you want a Richie, he keep playin’, you gon’ get one,” sharpening the message. The delivery is measured but unmistakable, framing the song as both commentary and confrontation. Online, the response has been swift, with listeners parsing each bar as the dispute gains visibility. Tjay Turns Up the Pressure, Shaping the Narrative Amid Backlash Additional lines extend the critique, questioning credibility and posturing within the scene. “None these goofies gettin’ saved, who allowed these boys to rap? / I could tell how he stay postin’ 20s, he got baby racks,” Tjay adds, continuing the thread. The track’s circulation has coincided with broader conversation about the allegations, amplifying its reach beyond typical release cycles. For some, it reads as a calculated intervention; for others, an escalation. The rollout follows a separate wave of criticism directed at Tjay earlier in the week. His outreach to streamers, including DDG, PlaqueBoyMax, and N3on, drew mixed reactions, with detractors questioning the approach. Even so, his response has been to press forward rather than retreat. With the deluxe now circulating, Tjay appears intent on shaping the narrative as much as participating in it.

A Norfolk County jury delivered a not-guilty verdict this week for Stefon Diggs, clearing him of misdemeanor assault and felony strangulation charges tied to allegations from his former personal chef, Jamila Adams. The decision, reached on May 5, followed a brief trial that examined claims of a prior relationship and a dispute that prosecutors said escalated into violence. Diggs had denied the accusations, and his legal team argued the evidence did not substantiate the charges. The outcome quickly drew reactions beyond the courtroom. Speaking on his show It Is What It Is, Cam’ron addressed the verdict with a mix of commentary and humor. About midway through the episode, he said, “City Boys up 200,” before adding, “Congrats Stefon Diggs… I’m happy that you didn’t get indicted for this. Well, rather have to get found guilty of this shit because you obviously had footage and proof.” He also acknowledged uncertainty about the case details, noting, “My bad, City Girls, if y’all felt like y’all got played in the scenario. But I don’t know too much about it.” Cam’ron’s comments about Diggs highlighted how public figures react following high-profile acquittals. Cam’ron referenced a video circulating online that appeared to show Adams dancing after the alleged incident, suggesting it shaped his reaction. “So, I just ended with City Boys up 200 ‘cause he won the case and I seen a girl twerking after this was supposed to have happened,” he said. “If somebody suffocated me…I’m not getting up twerking.” The clip became a point of discussion among viewers following the verdict, with Diggs’s name continuing to dominate social commentary. Jokes and Testimony Collide as Trial Ends in Acquittal The segment also included lighter remarks, with Cam’ron joking, “I don’t want to fuck you no more, just be my chef,” and adding, “Yo, and handle all these bitches that’s going to be coming through… And yo, Cardi coming over. You know what she like? Taco Tuesday, n***a.” This humor intertwined with the trial coverage that repeatedly referenced Diggs. During the trial, Adams testified that Diggs struck her and placed her in a headlock during a disagreement over payment. Defense attorneys countered by highlighting the absence of medical records and documented injuries. With the acquittal, the legal case has concluded, though public debate around Diggs and the outcome continues.
