#HipHopNews: Meek Mill Blasts Record Label, Says He Hasn’t Been Paid
Meek Mill is putting his label on blast. Hot off the release of his album Expensive Pain, the Dream Chasers rapper took to Twitter to air out his issues with his record label, claiming he hasn’t received money from his music and is looking to pursue legal action.
“i haven’t get paid from music and i don’t know how much money labels make off me!!!!! i need lawyers asap!!!” he wrote in a since-deleted tweet.
In subsequent tweets, he questioned the label’s accounting. “ask the record label? how much have you spent on me as a artist? then you ask how much have you made off me as a artist?”
He even threatened to publicize his contract. “i’m about to make my record deal public by monday just to let the world see what these people on!!!” said Meek before vowing to wage war. “ima war for everything that’s mines all ruthless vibes!”
Meek, who is managed by Roc Nation, did not specify whether he was referring to Maybach Music Group and/or Atlantic Records. Last month, he released his fifth studio album Expensive Pain, which debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200.
Earlier this year, there were reports that Meek had become frustrated with his Maybach Music contract and wanted out. He also reportedly denied his MMG boss Rick Ross entry to his section while celebrating his birthday at Miami’s LIV nightclub in May.
“Allegedly, they’re beefing with the other ni**a because they’re tryna get off the label,” claimed DJ Akademiks. “I hear they want off the label. This has been an ongoing conversation. The ni**a who they’re signed to showed up to their party, they were not happy. And when that person showed up, there was issues.”
On Saturday, Meek headlined his “Meek Mill and Friends” concert at New York City’s Madison Square Garden with special guests Lil Uzi Vert, Lil Baby, Lil Durk, A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie, Fabolous, and more.
2 Killed And Officer Among 4 Injured In Boise Mall Shooting!
Two people were killed when a gunman opened fire Monday at an Idaho mall, according to Boise Police Chief Ryan Lee.
Four other people, including a Boise police officer, were injured, Lee said at a media briefing.
Officers responded to reports of shots fired around 1:50 p.m. "with reports that at least one person was shot and down," Lee said.
Shortly after responding, officers found a person matching the suspect's description and there was an exchange of gunfire that resulted in the officer's injury.
Lee said the suspect is in custody and police cannot yet speak to motive. Police are sure there was only one shooter involved, Lee said.
Video streamed by a reporter from CNN affiliate KBOI showed several police cars and one ambulance outside the main entrance to the Macy's department store. The video shows one person being brought out on a gurney and loaded into the ambulance. Another person sits on the bumper of a police SUV while several emergency workers tend to his head.
Police said they are in the process of notifying family members of the people involved.
Officers were going from one merchant to the next clearing each business, police added.
Lee said most of the mall -- which has 153 stores, according to its website -- has been cleared.
Idaho Gov. Brad Little said the shooting is "unthinkable" and he was praying for the people who were injured. He said the state was ready help police investigate the shooting.
Lee said a county task force would investigate the officer-involved part of the shooting.
Dave Chappelle says he'd meet with transgender Netflix workers — but only under certain conditions!
Comedian Dave Chappelle said Monday he'd be willing to meet with transgender employees of Netflix who have called for the streaming platform to remove his October comedy special, "The Closer."
But Chappelle said any meeting would have to be on his terms: "You will not summon me."
"First of all, you cannot come if you have not watched my special from beginning to end," he said in a video posted to Instagram Monday. "You must come to a place of my choosing, at a time of my choosing. And thirdly you must admit that Hannah Gadsby is not funny."
Gadsby, a comedian whose work has also been streamed on Netflix, said on Instagram that Chappelle's special would unleash "hate and anger" for the LGBTQ+ community even as Chappelle makes millions of dollars "to process his emotionally stunted partial world view."
Gadsby did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
"The Closer," featuring Chappelle's views on transgender rights and identity, has outraged many in the LGBTQ+ community.
On Oct. 20, dozens of Netflix employees walked out of the company's headquarters in Hollywood to protest its continued streaming of the special. The company's CEO, Ted Sarandos, has held fast with Chappelle, but on Oct. 19 said "I screwed up" when it came to communicating with employees genuinely hurt by the comedian's words.
"I should have led with a lot more humanity," he said in an interview with Variety. "Meaning, I had a group of employees who were definitely feeling pain and hurt from a decision we made. And I think that needs to be acknowledged up front before you get into the nuts and bolts of anything. I didn't do that."
Rodrigo Heng-Lehtinen, executive director for the National Center for Transgender Equality, argued by email that Chappelle's offer to meet with Netflix's transgender employees would do little to change the impact of his words.
"The stakes are high but sometimes those who are unfamiliar with real transgender people can’t see or understand how harmful their words and actions are to those real people," he said.
On Monday, Chappelle credited Sarandos for sticking with him when others haven't.
His Instagram video, recorded on-stage in front of an audience, focused on how the uproar is impacting Chappelle's own right to exist.
He said that since the "The Closer" debuted to instant backlash on Oct. 5, he's had trouble releasing his documentary, "Untitled."

Donald Trump Jr. Sells “Alec Baldwin Kills People” T-Shirts Amid On Set Shooting!
Donald Trump Jr. is profiting off of the tragedy that took place on the set of Alec Baldwin’s new film by selling T-shirts referencing the shooting.
RELATED STORIES: Donald Trump Attacks “Lowlife” Meghan McCain After She Called Him A “Funeral Crasher”
Trump Jr. posted the photo of Alec Baldwin wearing a photoshopped image of the shirt with the slogan, ‘Guns don’t kill people, Alec Baldwin kills people’, on his Instagram story. “Screw all the sanctimony I’m seeing out there. If the shoe was on the other foot Alex Baldwin would literally be the first person pissing on everybody’s grave trying to make a point. Fuck him!” he wrote alongside the picture
Additionally, the T-shirt is listed for $27.99 in four different colors on the eldest Trump son’s official website.
The merchandise money grab stems back to when Baldwin would portray former President Donald Trump on ‘Saturday Night Live.’ However, many people including Trump supporters have criticized Trump Jr. for capitalizing on the tragic shooting that took place last week.
“You and this is vile. If karma is a thing you can expect a lot of bad coming your way.” one user said. Another user commented: “Don jr, you got that right, I believe he knew it was loaded too, he should be in jail or at least charged with 2nd-degree murder! I’m sure if it was President Trump for accidentally killing 2 people he would be in a 6 x 6 cell, but liberals can murder in name of I didn’t know it had real bullets in it, this time! Trump 2024!”
Anne Heche claims she was ‘canceled’ because of Ellen DeGeneres romance!
Anne Heche claims she was “blacklisted” by Hollywood after striking up a romance with Ellen DeGeneres.
In a new interview with Page Six, the actress looked back on her former relationship with the talk show host and why she was made to feel like “patient zero in cancel culture.”
“This wasn’t a long-term love affair,” recalled Heche, who dated DeGeneres from 1997 to 2000. “This was a moment in my life when I was given the glory of being able to stand up for what I believe in and have since I was a kid.”
Heche, 52, famously made headlines when she invited DeGeneres, 63, as her date to the 1997 premiere of “Volcano.”
The two faced scrutiny for their same-sex partnership at the time, but Heche told us her spontaneous gesture to invite DeGeneres was “about living in loving-kindness.”
She remembered that the repercussions were swift and harsh, however, due to the nature of the times.
“I didn’t do a studio picture for ten years,” she claimed. “I was fired from a $10 million picture deal and did not see the light of day in a studio picture.”One movie that Heche was already in talks to do before the infamous premiere was the big-budget romantic comedy “Six Days, Seven Nights” opposite Harrison Ford.
She claimed to Page Six that after going public with DeGeneres, it didn’t seem like the studio wanted her for the role anymore, and was even told she wasn’t going to get it.
Heche remembered being home one morning with DeGeneres when Ford, 79, called with an important message.
“He said, ‘Frankly my dear, I don’t give a damn who you’re sleeping with,’” she said. “’We have a romantic comedy to make. Let’s make it the best one that’s ever happened.’”
“That is why Harrison Ford is my hero,” she continued. “To stand behind me at such a time when the force of what I was standing up for could have been toppled.”
Heche told us that every TV show and movie after that has been her “favorite” because they’ve allowed her to support her family. The actress shares son Homer, 19, with ex-husband Coleman Laffoon, and son Atlas, 12, with her former “Men in Trees” co-star James Tupper.
Despite starring in dozens of television shows and movies over the years, it’s clear Heche is most proud of what she sees as her role in changing societal norms – even if it derailed her career for a bit.
“Those repercussions that happened, are to me what has created a part of the change,” she said. “I’m a part of it. It is a badge of honor.”
Next up, Heche is starring in “13 Minutes,” which she cheekily described as a disaster film like “Volcano.”
She was thrilled to work with director Lindsay Gossling, she said, because “she tackles social issues in a disaster movie,” which “very few people have the balls to do.”
“13 Minutes” will be released in theaters on Oct. 29, and on-demand and digital Nov. 19.
Amanda Seales Responds to Criticism About Her Portrayal as an AKA on Insecure says ‘I Am Not a Soror’:!
Amanda Seales has responded to the backlash from the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. after her character, Tiffany, repped the sorority in the debut episode of the final season.
via: The Root: While most fans were discussing and tweeting to their hearts desire about their favorite awkward Black girl aka “Issa Dee” and her, umm, insecurities, a whole different sector of folks were in a tizzy about a certain character, namely Tiffany Dubois (played by Amanda Seales) and her portrayal as an AKA member (for those of you who are unfamiliar that stands for Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Inc.) on the show.
Though it’s long been established that “Tiffany” and Yvonne Orji’s character “Molly” are both fictional members of the organization on the show (like since season one), for whatever reason some real-life members decided to call Seales’ character out for wearing what appeared to be official Greek paraphernalia prompting the comedian and actress to address it on her social media pages.
“I don’t know why people keep asking me if I’m a soror. I am not a soror,” Seales explained in her Instagram story. “Tiffany is a soror. Tiffany is a character on a tv show. I didn’t write the character, I played the character. I am not a soror. I’m an actress and I’m playing a character on a TV show. And I think reality tv done really got folks fucked up because, you know, it’s like: ‘it’s all the same.’ But I’m just playing a character. That’s it. Y’all know that though. But some of y’all dont. I feel like some folks really forget. It’s a tv show.”
She later clarified in a separate Instagram post: “I would be honored to be a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha but I simply am not. When I am Tiffany, I wear the letters with pride and regard and respect for those who did cross the burning sands.”Issa Rae also eventually responded to an upset user in the most Issa Rae-way possible on Twitter, writing: “Oh shit. Let me @HBO to delete one of the upcoming episodes then, hold on.”
Seales made it clear that she is just in character and she has never personally claimed to be an AKA.

Appearing at Tuesday’s Elle Women in Hollywood Awards, Berry, referring to the singer as “My love, love, love — my sweetheart,” before adding: “I’ve never had a man that has lifted me up and let me be all that I am.”
Speaking to PEOPLE on the red carpet ahead of the awards, Berry said Hunt contributed some music to, in which Berry stars as a retired MMA fighter who is pushed to get back in the ring when her young son re-enters her life. The project also marks Halle’s directorial debut.
“I had a lot of support … [Hunt] was a big part of that,” Berry told PEOPLE. “He did some music for the movie. He actually wrote the title song.”
When asked by Extra if she and Hunt are “madly in love,” Berry replied, “We are,” before adding, “Sometimes you have to wait for things in life. I waited patiently — well, maybe not patiently, but I waited.”
Berry and Hunt began dating last fall and went public with their relationship in September 2020. She was previously married to actor Olivier Martinez, MLB player David Justice and singer Eric Benét.
Earlier this year, Hunt opened up to Entertainment Tonight about how his girlfriend has influenced both him and his music.
“The inspiration for our relationship goes across everything, even in my parenting,” he told the outlet, per Page Six.“I’m a completely different person, I can say it like that, and I think that it’s improved every aspect of my life.”
He also gushed over the sweet Valentine’s Day post that Berry wrote for him on Instagram in February.
“It was well-written, which at least that’s what I like to acknowledge because I don’t know that people know that side of her because she can write as well,” he said. “You guys are gonna be surprised at all the things that she can do.”
“Bruised” premieres on Netflix on Nov. 24.
Megan Thee Stallion shares photos of her college graduation from TSU as she shows off bedazzled 'hot girl s**t' cap!
Three-time Grammy winner Megan Thee Stallion graduated from Texas Southern University over the weekend with a bachelor's degree in health administration.
The Texan, 26, shared three photos from commencement ceremony, which showed off her bedazzled 'real hot girl s**t' cap, a nod to her 2019 hit song Hot Girl Summer.
'2021 finna graduate collegeeee,' she captioned the slideshow on her Instagram Story. 'Taking my graduation pics today, I can’t wait for y’all to see.'
In her first image, she snapped a close-up of her red and white manicure with her school's acronym on them as she held onto her blinged-out graduation cap.
The rapper also posted two selfies, in which she rocked a glamorous makeup look, diamond necklace and sleeveless black minidress.
In June 2020, the chart topper explained why she didn't let her rise to fame get in the way of her desire to continue her education in an interview with People.
'I want to get my degree because I really want my mom to be proud,' Megan said of her academic goals. 'She saw me going to school before she passed.'
Her mom Holly Thomas died in March 2019 after a battle with brain cancer. Around the same time Megan also lost her grandmother.
The star - whose full name is Megan Jovon Ruth Pete - completed classes through online classes at TSU.
Megan was also inspired by other educators in her family, including her grandma, who was a teacher and motivator for the star to finish school.
'My grandmother that's still alive used to be a teacher, so she's on my butt about finishing school.'
'I'm doing it for me, but I'm also doing it for the women in my family who made me who I am today,' the Savage rapper added.
Hertz Orders 100K Teslas in New Strategy to Electrify Rental Car Fleet!
Just four months out of bankruptcy and Hertz Global Holdings Inc. has placed an order for 100,000 Teslas in order to electrify its rental car fleet.
Cars will be delivered to the company within the next 14 months, but as early as next month, Tesla Inc.’s Model 3 sedan will be available to rent at Hertz outlets in major U.S. markets and in some parts of Europe.
In a statement that was released, the company said that customers will be able to use Tesla’s supercharger network, as well as Hertz’s own charging infrastructure.
According to anonymous sources, it’s the single-largest purchase ever for electric vehicles, or EVs, and represents nearly $4.2 billion in income for Tesla. Unlike other car rental businesses, which generally demand steep discounts from automakers, Hertz appears to be paying close to list pricing due to the size of the order.
“How do we democratize access to electric vehicles? That’s a very important part of our strategy,” said Mark Fields, Hertz’s new chief executive officer. “Tesla is the only manufacturer that can produce EVs at scale.”
The electrified plan is Hertz’s first major push since emerging from bankruptcy in June, and it will eventually cover almost all of the company’s half-million cars and trucks worldwide. It also shows that Hertz’s new owners, Knighthead Capital Management and Certares Management, are serious about shaking up an industry dominated by a few huge firms that are notorious for being reluctant to change.
In premarket trading in New York, Tesla shares jumped as much as 4.8 %, pushing the automaker closer to a $1 trillion valuation. Hertz, which is now trading over the counter ahead of its relisting on the Nasdaq Stock Market, had little early activity.
Hertz may be able to prevent competitors from copying the tactic by securing such a large portion of Tesla’s production — the order is comparable to around 1/10th of what the automaker can now produce in a year. Hertz is also defying trends by paying full price for well-equipped automobiles rather than the standard base-model, significantly discounted sedans found on rental lots.
Hertz’s largest car and truck supplier in 2020 was General Motors Co., followed by Nissan Motor Co. and Ford Motor Co.
Teslas will appeal to rental consumers who desire a green choice or who want to check out a battery-powered vehicle due to their zero exhaust emissions. Tom Brady, the seven-time Super Bowl champion quarterback, has been approached by Hertz to star in commercials promoting the new Teslas. It also launched an EV website that offers free charging till the end of January.
Ford is turning to EVs as part of a commitment to renewable energy under Fields, who was CEO of Ford for over three years until May 2017. Teslas are also less expensive to maintain and refill than cars with internal combustion engines, and their resale value is often higher.
Along with the Tesla launch, Hertz is undergoing a broader transformation of its business centered on mobility and digitization. Expedited rental bookings on the Hertz app will be one part of that.
Gabrielle Union Kicks Off ‘Scorpio Season’ With Topless Upload Alongside Dwyane Wade!
Gabrielle Union is commemorating the start of Scorpio season by showing off her body confidence!
This past Saturday (Oct. 23rd) was the first day of Scorpio season. To celebrate the occasion, Gabrielle Union decided to go topless with her husband–former NBA star Dwyane Wade–on Instagram! Gabrielle Union, 48, uploaded a shirtless photo alongside Dwyane Wade, 39, captioned:
“Fittings @dwyanewade Welcome to @ScorpioSzn.”
Yesterday (Sunday, Oct. 24th), Gabrielle humorously referred to the racy upload with another post, captioned:
“One more time but WITH shirts on.”
These photos come just a few days ahead Gabrielle Union‘s 49th birthday, which is this Friday (Oct. 29th).
Additionally, the posts come a little over a month after the actress unveiled her second memoir, You Got Anything Stronger? In the book, Gabrielle Union opened up about various aspects of her relationship with Dwyane Wade, including when the former athlete fathered another child during a breakup while Gabrielle was struggling with infertility. The actress wrote:
“The experience of Dwayne having a baby so easily, while I was unable to, left my soul not just broken into pieces but shattered into fine dust scattering in the wind.” To say I was devastated is to pick a word on a low shelf for convenience. There are people–strangers that I will never meet, who have been upset that I have not previously talked about that trauma. I have not had words, and even after untold amounts of therapy I am not sure I have them now.”
Brendan Fraser to Play Villain in ‘Batgirl’ Movie!
Brendan Fraser has been cast in DC’s upcoming “Batgirl” movie. He will play the villainous Firefly, a sociopath with a passion for pyrotechnics, opposite star Leslie Grace.
Specific plot details for “Batgirl” have been kept under wraps, though it centers on Barbara Gordon, the daughter of Gotham police commissioner Jim Gordon. J.K. Simmons is returning to portray Jim Gordon after first playing the character in Zack Snyder’s “Justice League.”
“Batgirl” is set to premiere on HBO Max, the streaming service backed by WarnerMedia, sometime in 2022. The project is notable because it marks one of the first major DC Comics properties to skip theaters in favor of streaming. Plus, it’s one of the studio’s rare comic book adventures — following “Wonder Woman” and its sequel, as well as Margot Robbie’s “Birds of Prey” — to spotlight a female superhero.
“Batgirl” isn’t Fraser’s first foray into the DC universe; he currently voices a character on the HBO Max superhero TV show “Doom Patrol.” It does, however, continues a career resurgence for the “George of the Jungle” and “The Mummy” star, who all but disappeared from Hollywood in the mid-2000s. He’s since emerged in Steven Soderbergh’s crime drama “No Sudden Move” and Danny Boyle’s “Trust” on FX. Fraser recently landed the lead role in Darren Aronofsky’s next film “The Whale,” an adaptation of Samuel D. Hunter’s play about 600-pound middle-aged recluse, and he will be seen in Martin Scorsese’s “Killers of the Flower Moon” alongside Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro.
Deadline Hollywood first reported the news of Fraser’s casting.
Congress Takes First Steps To Honor Pop Superstar Prince with The Congressional Gold Medal!
Minnesota’s Congressional delegation on Monday is introducing a resolution to posthumously award the Congressional Gold Medal to pop superstar Prince, citing his “indelible mark on Minnesota and American culture,” The Associated Press has learned.
The medal is one of the nation’s highest civilian honors and past recipients include George Washington, the Wright Brothers, Rosa Parks, Mother Teresa, the Navajo Code Talkers, the Tuskegee Airmen and the Dalai Lama.
“The world is a whole lot cooler because Prince was in it — he touched our hearts, opened our minds, and made us want to dance. With this legislation, we honor his memory and contributions as a composer, performer, and music innovator. Purple reigns in Minnesota today and every day because of him,” said Democratic Sen. Amy Klobuchar, who represents the state, in a statement.
Prince, whose hits include “Little Red Corvette,” “Let’s Go Crazy” and “When Doves Cry,” died April 21, 2016, of an accidental fentanyl overdose at age 57 at his Paisley Park estate in Chanhassen, Minnesota.
The resolution for Prince is led by Klobuchar and U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar, a Democrat who represents Minneapolis in the House. The full Minnesota delegation serves as original cosponsors, including Sen. Tina Smith and Reps. Jim Hagedorn, Angie Craig, Dean Phillips, Betty McCollum, Tom Emmer, Michelle Fischbach, Pete Stauber and Omar.
“Prince is a Minnesota icon,” said Omar in a statement. “He showed that it was OK to be a short, Black kid from Minneapolis and still change the world. He not only changed the arc of music history; he put Minneapolis on the map.”
The legislation notes that Prince is “widely regarded as one of the greatest musicians of his generation,” with seven Grammy Awards, six American Music Awards, an Oscar for the score to “Purple Rain” and a Golden Globe.
It adds that he is a member of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, sold more than 150 million records worldwide and that “Purple Rain” was added by the Library of Congress for preservation in the National Film Registry. The bill also puts into the Congressional record the glyph he used instead of his name for a time that Prince called “The Love Symbol.”
Under the rules, Congressional Gold Medals require the support of at least two-thirds of the members of both the Senate and House of Representatives before they can be signed into law by the president. The Prince legislation will be introduced in the House and Senate.
Born Prince Rogers Nelson, the singer, songwriter, arranger and instrumentalist broke through in the late 1970s with the hits “Why You Wanna Treat Me So Bad?” and “I Wanna Be Your Lover,” and soared over the following decade with such albums as “1999” and “Purple Rain.” Among his other notable releases: “Sign O’ the Times,” “Graffiti Bridge” and “The Black Album.”
If the gold medal is approved and made, the bill asks that it be given to the Smithsonian Institution, which should make it available for display at the National Museum of African American History and Culture or on loan.
AND FINALLY FROM “THE CRAZY PEOPLE SHOPPING AT WALMART” FILES
WHEN YOU’RE LAZY AND HAVE TO BUY GROCERIES
