Young Thug Says That Drake Dissed Gunna On “Business Is Business” – The R Report
Young Thug has claimed that Drake was dissing Gunna on the intro to his album Business is Business. The album dropped while Thugger was still behind bars on RICO charges and in a newly leaked call featuring the Atlanta rapper, he claims the album features lines aimed at Gunna. Thug claims that Drake was doing the dissing: “Drake got down, went straight at his ass. Drake did the intro for the album. He went right at his ass in the worst way. He trip on the intro. First eight bars talking nasty to the boy.” On the intro, titled “Parade on Cleveland”, Drake said: “I’m about to mop up some boys, it’s custodian time / Me and my thoughts is the loneliest time / Don’t tell me ’bout loyalty, show me this time / Don’t tell me ’bout loyalty, show me this time / Business is business, you owe me this time.” In another leaked call, Thugger called out Drake for allegedly not doing enough to help him get release from jail. The Atlanta rapper can be heard saying: “Drake, you Drake, go talk to the president.” He then adds: “‘Aye, man, let my little brother out. Go pardon him, go do something.’ Go talk to the president and get me out, show me that. Don’t call me talking about, ‘Fix something’ for you to have a song from a n-gga. Man, ain’t nobody give a fuck about no song.” Drake has yet to comment on Thug’s remarks but it is known that the 6 God gifted his “Sacrifices” collaborator $1 million when he was finally released on time served last year after agreeing a plea deal.
Fat Joe Say That His Beef With 50 Cent Cost Him Millions – The R Report
Fat Joe has claimed that his heated beefs with 50 Cent and JAY-Z in the mid-00s cost him millions of dollars in endorsements. Speaking on Sneaker Shopping, Joe opened up about how he had deals with both Air Jordan and Reebok fall through because of the feuds. The “Make it Rain” rapper alleged that Michael Jordan refused to work with him after viewing a tense moment between him and 50 Cent at the 2005 MTV VMA’s. Joe said Jordan phoned him to say: “Yo, Big Joe, you know, I’m not with controversy. Maybe we look at this in the future.” Joe continued: “They shut it down. They was just like, ‘Yo, we won’t do business with you if you give this guy a sneaker.’ That’s part of the karma. It’s part of the ins and outs. I’ve done it to other guys. It came back to me.” Fat Joe also recently claimed that he had lost millions of dollars as a result of an alleged extortion plot enacted by his former hype man, Terrance Dixon, and his attorney, Tyrone Blackburn, who accused him of having sex with underage girls. In legal documents, the “New York” legend says he was pulled from three primetime TV appearances with his new Joe & Jada podcast also losing out on sponsorship deals totalling hundreds of thousands of dollars. He also alleges that the allegations led to national retailers halted negotiations with him about stocking his grooming brand Rewind It.
Drake Take Shots At Kendrick Lamar On New Song Entitled “Dog House” – The R Report
Drake has dropped yet another new track, just days after his previous single, accompanied by Yeat and singer Julia Wolf. Drizzy previously teased the song on his most recent Iceman livestream and has now officially dropped the track, which is titled “Dog House”. The most notable line on the song sees Drake take a not so subtle shot at his nemesis, Kendrick Lamar. Referencing the Compton superstar’s eminently popular song “Money Trees”, Drizzy raps: “Fuck a money tree, I’m a cash cow / If I ain’t give a fuck then, I don’t give a fuck now .” The song also sees Drake on namedropping form as he raps: “Jump like Ja Morant, she ’bout to jump, ’bout to jumpLil’ girls trip, lil’ photo dump, yeah, what? / Just like Nicki said, money make her cum, what? What?” https://youtu.be/qVIcEHUi6AA?si=fsisG_A2_0z7DslJ

2 Chainz To Release A Memoir – The R Report
2 Chainz has announced he is releasing a memoir chronicling his spiritual journey. Entitled The Voice In Your Head Is God, the book will follow the artist formerly known as Tity Boi to the top of the rap game and how his faith in God has helped him along the way. The book is currently scheduled for release in March 2026 so fans still have a wait until they can get their hands on it. In a statement, the “I’m Different” rapper said: “I want to share the spiritual journey behind my success in a raw, uncut and motivational way.” He adds that the book was written “to help anyone with a dream and a vision [who] struggles, or doubts their intuition… I wouldn’t be here now without that voice.” The Voice In Your Head Is God is being released through Charlamagne Tha God’s Black Privilege Publishing, which is an imprint of Atria. The radio host said in a statement: “2 Chainz’s story is a story of perseverance. A story of reinvention. This book will remind you that when GOD tells you to do something, it must be done, even if you have to reinvent yourself a few times to do it.” A press release adds: “Along the way, 2 Chainz offers more than a memoir. He shares a way of thinking, of trusting yourself and of listening to the voice that never steers you wrong.”
Diddy To Make Bid For New Trial Or Acquittal – The R Report
Diddy is again attempting to secure himself an acquittal or even a new trial over a complaint the government did not use the proper definition of prostitution. In legal documents, Diddy and his attorneys attempt to argue that the freak off tapes can be classified as amateur porn productions as they were filmed and the participants consented and were paid for sex acts. The mogul’s attorneys add that the evidence is proof that Diddy is an amateur pornographer as participants could ask for filming to cease and the Bad Boy founder would oblige. They claim that upholding Diddy’s conviction for engaging in transportation for prostitution would be a violation of his first amendment rights. The government are also accused of using the improper definition of prostitution to convict Diddy. The documents state: “If there was any settled ordinary meaning of ‘prostitute’ in 1910, it was a woman who has indiscriminate sex with men, whether paid or not. That was the common law meaning and the federal meaning under Bitty and Caminetti. If this Court were to apply that meaning, the statute would plainly be unconstitutional—which the government does not dispute.” Diddy’s attorneys also claim there is “no evidence revealing any intent to pay escorts for sex during or before the travel.” Diddy is set to remain behind bars until his sentencing hearing takes place next month. Since the trial, which saw the rapper and producer found not guilty of sex trafficking and racketeering, Diddy has made bids for bail, each of which have been denied by the judge who claims the record executive had failed to prove there are “exceptional” reasons for why he should be released. Diddy’s history of domestic violence was also cited in the reasoning behind denying him bail.
Rick Ross Makes Fun Of Drake’s New Music – The R Report

Ice Spice & Latto Make Peace With New Song “Gyatt” – The R Report
Ice Spice and Latto have officially squashed their feud by collaborating on new single “Gyatt”. The two spent the beginning of last year throwing shots at each other but have now swapped real life shots for pretend ones as the song’s music video sees them duke it out in a wrestling ring – a clear nod to their past rivalry. The duo spend much of the song rapping about how men love them. Spice spits: “N-ggas be so damn thirsty, tryna jump head first into this fountain.” It is not clear what had led to the two female MC’s patching things up and getting to the point where they could collaborate. https://youtu.be/Op9NRT8xeKQ?si=2SAEd-WMRbQ7yJbv

Young Thug & Ralo Trade Blows Back & Forth On Social Media – The R Report
Young Thug clashed with Ralo online after resurfaced police audio led to snitching claims and a heated exchange over loyalty and betrayal. Young Thug fired back at Ralo on Thursday (August 28) after being accused of cooperating with police, telling his longtime peer, “I made an honest mistake,” during a tense exchange on social media that reignited talk of snitching in Hip-Hop. The drama kicked off earlier this week after old audio resurfaced showing Thug in a two-hour police interview where he referenced Peewee Roscoe in connection to the 2015 shooting of Lil Wayne’s tour bus. Ralo wasted no time calling him out, suggesting Thug had crossed a line and mocking him. “Now you gone have to go through what Me and Gunna went through,” he wrote. He also implied Thug was a “rat” and referenced a past quote from earlier this year where Thug said, “If u a rapper and u a rat, u gotta just go gospel twin.” Many believed the line was aimed at Gunna. Thug posted paperwork to defend himself. “The detective lied and said I made a statement in back of a police car,” he wrote. “That never ever happened.” Noneetheless, Ralo doubled down. He accused Thug of hypocrisy and claimed he once told Lil Baby to cut ties with him over “fake snitching” rumors. Thug clapped back on Twitter, writing, “Your friends said you didn’t lie. You actually told on real people… I made an honest mistake… See the difference? And let’s not forget u told fani [Willis] u would take the stand on me and [YFN] lucci in our case to get out of jail.” He didn’t stop there, adding, “I tried to free my mans. U tried to fry yours.” Ralo ended the back-and-forth with a harsh rebuttal. “I went FEDERAL you went Fulton County,” he replied. “I never met a Fani in my life… YOU SNAKE A N*A IS THE REAL REASON ATLANTA IS BROKEN. You thought you was John Gotti, you ah street punk.”

It’s Time to Find Your People and Organize By Vonda Smack – The R Report
For too long, the words “protect and serve” have rung hollow in America’s marginalized communities. For too many Black families, those words don’t represent safety. They sound more like “hunt and harass.” We know this truth not because of hearsay, but because of lived experiences. Despite being law-abiding citizens, Black men, women, and children are treated as suspects first, human beings second if at all. Our Communities Are Not the Enemy Systemic racism has painted entire neighborhoods as “dangerous” or “crime-ridden.” But the truth is simple: these are our homes. They are filled with nurses, teachers, bus drivers, small business owners, and single parents grinding day and night to provide for their families. Yet instead of respect and protection, our communities are met with flashing lights, sirens, and hands on holsters. Instead of partnership, we get profiling. Instead of dignity, we get dehumanization. Why We Distrust the Police Our distrust isn’t paranoia, it’s history. It’s the accumulation of generations of pain. Racial Profiling: Stopped for “fitting the description,” when the only description is being Black.Excessive Force: Watching Black men thrown to the ground, Black women screamed at, and children traumatized over traffic stops or minor infractions.Disrespect: Elders talked down to, our voices dismissed, our pain invalidated.Lack of Accountability: Officers who harm and lie walking away without consequence, leaving families and communities to pick up the pieces. When those who are meant to protect see us as a threat before they see us as neighbors, the relationship is broken at its core. The Criminalization of Our Existence Black men in America are criminalized for simply existing, stopped, frisked, handcuffed, and questioned at rates their white counterparts never experience. This treatment sends a clear message to our entire community: you are prey. Black women, too, face their own unique violence. Quite often our concerns dismissed, our pain ignored, our anger labeled “aggressive.” We are silenced in courtrooms, pushed against police cars, stripped of dignity in public spaces. But let it be clear: we are not the stereotypes they project onto us. We are the backbone of our families. We are the heartbeat of our neighborhoods. We are resilience personified. What We Demand This message does not come from hatred of police. It comes from a demand for justice and humanity. We demand: An end to the criminalization of poverty.An end to the assumption of guilt based on skin color.Policing that respects our humanity instead of fearing our presence.A system of accountability where justice is not optional but non-negotiable. Until Then, We Organize Until these demands are met, we will continue to speak up, to protect one another, and to organize. Because everyone in our community is not a criminal, and our existence should never be treated as probable cause. It’s time to find your people. It’s time to organize. Because when we stand together, no system of oppression can silence us. We are more than their assumptions. We are power, we are dignity, and we are unstoppable when we rise together.

Ghostface Killah Says Diddy Blocked The Wu-Tang Clan From Radio – The R Report
Ghostface Killah has claimed that Diddy was responsible for getting the Wu-Tang Clan banned from radio in the late 1990s. Speaking on The Bootleg Kev Podcast, Ghostface recalled touring with Rage Against the Machine in 1997 and publicly criticizing Hot 97 at Summer Jam. He said: “We left that tour, and it was messed up because we had to make a decision. Like, come back to your people over here, or stay over here and get big with these guys… We left.” Tony Starks continued: “When we left and did the Hot 97… Shit was a disaster. They cut our records off that day, they didn’t play no Wu shit no more. That’s when Puffy was really getting on his shit, know what I mean? It just wasn’t the same no more. I cursed them n-gga’s out.” https://youtu.be/McPHmbizBw4?si=SpW1mFS0q4tnVyPP Ghostface then claimed he later found out Diddy blocked them from getting on the radio: “RZA told me this like maybe a year ago, and said like, ‘Yo, Puff admitted to saying that he stopped our records up there.’ So it was all Bad Boy. We dropped ‘Triumph,’ no radio play with that shit. So it came out that he told the truth, like, ‘Yo, I had to do it.’ He had the power. I don’t know what he paid ’em, but he had the power. Listen, we was a threat. We was coming, if ‘Triumph’ was promoted like it was supposed to be and we would have stayed on that radio right there, I think things to right now would have been a little bit different.”
Offset Speaks About A Possible Joint Album With Quavo – The R Report
Offset has said that it is possible that he and Quavo could reunite for a joint album. Speaking to Ebro on Apple Music, Offset was open to once again getting in the booth with Quavo, at least to pay tribute to the late third member of Migos, Takeoff. The Atlanta rapper said: “It’s possible. No conversations about that, though, but it’s possible. First, we’re just checking in with each other and see each other’s worlds: ‘You good?’” Offset then took responsibility for causing some of the estrangement between himself and Quavo: “I’ve accepted the actions I’ve done to cause certain situations to happen — I had to. But at first I didn’t. I was trying to act tough and like I didn’t give a fuck at first. But the actions that I did in the time I was acting that way, I realized I was wrong. I realized I was wrong and had to get out of the way. I’m happy with everything and I want the best.” Offset recently revealed that things between himself and Quavo were the best they had been in some time. Speaking on 7PM in Brooklyn, the former Migos rapper said: “It be the internet trying to do some old shit, but with us, it ain’t about that. We gotta holla at each other in the day, at the end of the day, man. That’s family at the end of the day, man. You’re gonna bump heads with your family sometime. “In the day, a n-gga ain’t finna play with him, or a n-gga ain’t finna play with me.” https://youtube.com/shorts/Kl5mKaBvKK0?si=OT8NUouc2r_g5d7V

It’s all love and peace.” “I just ended the album with that [song], just to end that chapter because it’s time to move on, it’s over and done with,” he continued. “It was great while it lasted. That shouldn’t be the topic for either one of us no more. It’s a book that’s closed. https://open.spotify.com/album/2hHTG0xjC0wzHO8CJozddr?si=19MeN8ndQMqapCszNPp6cA

What inspired you to create your scented candle, and bath products line? Justice: Honestly, I've always loved candles. I love a good smelling house and I'm a sucker for bath and body products. What really inspired me was realizing that over the years of buying a lot of big brand candles and bath/body products; they were mostly made with cheap toxic and filler ingredients. Giving you less of the actual product. The same toxic and filler ingredients that are known to interfere with your endocrine system and hormones. Q: How much time goes into creating your products? Justice: The seconds, minutes, hours and days that I pour into my business are endless. 7 days a week, I'm either formulating/testing new products, working on restocks, preparing orders, completing formulation courses, hosting classes or getting ready for the next event to sell my products at. I've learned anything of being an entrepreneur, it's knowing that you work around the clock. Especially when you have kids. Sometimes I stay up so late knowing that I'm only going to get 4 hours of sleep before I have to get up again. Q: Where can we purchase your Kommon Scents Candle & Bath Co products? Justice: My products are actually currently available in 3 locations; Milltown Market right here in Lakeland, Southern Hive in Stockton, GA and also Rowan's Children's Resale in Valdosta. I'm currently in the works of expanding my products to other cities. A dream of mine is to eventually open my own brick and mortar store. Q: Not only are you a growing entrepreneur, but you do a lot for your community as well. You want to see our city grow. How responsible are you with helping with the town market square each month? Justice: Our monthly Farm to Table Market is held every 3rd Saturday of the month from 10AM-1PM. I attend several shows and markets on monthly basis. I basically recruit other entrepreneurs like myself to come sell the products that they make. Whether it be homemade bread, locally grown produce, or candles and soap. Q: What direction do you see our city town market square going within the next year? Justice: Within the next year I see huge pivot in economic growth within our community in Lakeland. I'm hoping to make it one of the biggest markets within a 30 mile radius. While attending markets in other cities, I always talk about our town as well as our Farm to Table Market. Informing people about lil Ole Lakeland. Inviting them to attend our monthly market as shopper or vendor. That way they can dine here, shop here, get gas here all to bring in revenue for the city. Q: How important it is to you on seeing our city grow. What vision can you see for our city within the next few years? Justice: It's extremely important to me to see our city grow, especially for the younger kids; they are the future. This helps create consistency and stability for them and gives them things to look forward to. I see us on the rise of development. We need more people to be involved, be a voice and step up. Q: Can we see Justice maybe running for one of the city offices in the future? Justice: Ehh, probably not. At least I don't think so, but I am a board member on the Lakeland-Lanier Chamber of Commerce. I just want to be one of the small voices to make a big change for my community. Q: Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to conduct this interview. You do a lot for our community, and it deserves to be in the spotlight. Are there any last comments that you want to make? Justice: You're welcome and thanks for allowing me to share. I do believe that's all I have to say for now. Until next time.

Fivio Foreign Shades Nas On Jim Jones’ New Podcast – The R Report
Fivio Foreign has thrown some shade at Nas despite the fact the two collaborated in 2020 on the rap legend’s album King’s Disease. Sitting down for a chat on Jim Jones’ new podcast, the drill star was discussing Nas’ status in Hip Hop. He said: “I’m not saying that the man is wack, he’s not a legend. I got a song with the n-gga—I got a song on the album and the album got a Grammy. But I can’t sit there and say a Nas bar to you or a song.” Fivio then added: “I like ‘One Mic’.” https://youtu.be/TZ8Age9LFjw?si=4VKnDigzNUll2L7b
