NBA YoungBoy continues to prove that momentum matters more than timing. Despite an already packed 2025 and multiple releases in the past year, the Baton Rouge rapper is seeing major success with his new album Slime Cry—even as it goes head-to-head with A$AP Rocky’s long-awaited Don’t Be Dumb. After initially teasing Slime Cry for a late-November release, YoungBoy instead dropped the project on the very same day as Rocky’s album. The move raised eyebrows, especially considering YoungBoy had already delivered three projects last year alone. Still, any concerns about fan fatigue appear unfounded. According to Kurrco, Slime Cry currently holds…

Cretea Yae is a Lubbock, Texas–born artist whose music is rooted in resilience, discipline, and an unwavering commitment to growth.

French Montana is once again shutting down any talk of tension with Drake—this time alongside Max B on The Breakfast Club. While the Drake and Kendrick Lamar feud has dominated headlines, one lesser-discussed subplot involved rumors that Drake issued a cease and desist to French over a feature verse, allegedly contributing to Rick Ross’ fallout with the Toronto superstar. According to French, however, there’s no bad blood at all. During the interview, DJ Envy asked French directly whether he was still on good terms with Drake. French didn’t hesitate. “That’s my guy,” he said plainly. Envy followed up by mentioning…

French Montana’s ties to the Kardashian family made things slightly awkward—and very entertaining—on a recent episode of GOAT Talk. What started as a lighthearted debate quickly turned into a memorable moment when the conversation focused on who the “GOAT Kardashian” really is. When co-host Max B pressed French to pick just one member of the famous family, the rapper hesitated. Given his past relationship with Khloé Kardashian—the two dated for about a year in 2014—the question felt less like a harmless hot take and more like a trap. “You can pick one. I can’t pick one,” French admitted, clearly trying…

While Gates referred to Tejada as his wife, it remains unclear whether the two are legally married. The video arrives after a year in which much of Gates’ personal life…
