After almost two decades, Pusha T and his brother and rap partner-in-crime, Malice, have returned to music with Let God Sort Em Out. During a recent sit-down with Complex to discuss their new album, Pusha T addressed Kanye West’s desires to rekindle their friendship. “I don’t care about that at all. It’s fine,” Pusha tells the outlet. “I would miss me, too. I really would.” Back in May, West expressed feelings of regret regarding his estrangement with Pusha T via X(formerly Twitter), writing, “I miss me and Pusha’s friendship.” “I’m not in a position to where I can even risk and gamble with the wishy-washiness,” Pusha T says NEW YORK – JULY 30: Rapper Kanye West (C) performs with rappers Malice (L) and Pusha T (R) of Clipse on stage during the Diesel U Music 2009 NYC Tour at Webster Hall on July 30, 2009, in New York City.

In Pusha T’s opinion, he’s “not in a position” to “risk and gamble with the wishy-washiness or the lack of loyalty.” He continued, “I don’t play like that. Why would I ever dive back into that type of scenario? I’m with my brother and Pharrell, come on. I don’t even understand that lack of principles just amongst people you call your brother. I don’t get that. That’s not for me.” The 48-year-old rapper claims that cracks in his relationship with West began to show during the recording process for Donda. He says, “…A lot of people who are not that good, and they’re just around, and they’re around for no reason. These are the backbiters and the people who have hidden agendas.” Pusha believes that Kanye was surrounding himself with “chaos” and that it “just wasn’t for him.” He added, “On top of that, I mean, listen, just in how he tends to connect with a lot of people that I don’t connect with. I don’t understand that. That’s just not my name. He does it a lot, and it’s cool, but you got to just stay over there with that. I’m going to stay over here with this.”

Justin Bieber returns to music with his seventh studio album, SWAG, with guest appearances ranging from Sexxy Red and Gunna to Druski and Marvin Winans. Similarly, with 2014’s Journals, throughout the 21-track album, the Canadian pop singer once again ventures into R&B, paired with smooth vocals and soulful melodies. With SWAG, Justin Bieber pulls back the curtain, showcasing his vulnerabilities as he juggles fame, family, and fatherhood. Released on Friday (July 11), the project comes somewhat as a surprise, given that Bieber never did an official rollout. However, recently, billboards featuring the album’s cover appeared around Los Angeles. Despite only releasing the project today, the singer’s track, “Daisies,” is currently sitting at 1,000,000 million views on YouTube.

The album was supported by six singles, including “Peaches,” giving the singer his seventh No.1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100. Bursting on the scene in the early 2010s, Justin Bieber’s impact on pop music is unmatched. Discovered by both Scooter Braun and Usher, his debut EP, My World (2009), established him as a teen idol. Bieber is one of the most successful pop acts of all time, with over 150 million albums sold globally and five certified diamond certifications from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).

Katt Williams recently addressed being compared to Kendrick Lamar. During an appearance on Carmelo Anthony’s 7 PM In Brooklyn podcast, the legendary comedian shares his thoughts on the similarities with the iconic MC. “That’s why I said I’m not somebody you want to have beef with. It’s bad optics. I’m on the righteous side, and if I make a mistake, work with me. But other than that, you have no reason to be, because we all are just understanding what Kendrick has to be to even be doing the show there,” Williams said, referring to Lamar’s concerts in Drake’s hometown of Toronto. “We’re not talking about Drake doing his show in LA. We are not talking about him in the Bay. We’re not talking about that. But we are talking about Kendrick going there and doing his body of work. That’s what it means to stand on them 10. It means standing on that business. I said what I said over here, and I’ll be saying it over there as well,” he continued.  “And that’s what’s so critical about me, trying to make sure that I say it as viciously as I mean to say it, to say it as accurately as I can say it. This is part of keeping that energy, so you’ve got to respect it.” During Lamar’s hugely successful “Grand National Tour” with SZA, Lamar performed multiple nights at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto. His performance of “Not Like Us” caused the fans in the arena to chant for an encore.

Jermaine Dupri will go down in history in one of the biggest spends in the history of Atlanta strip club Magic City. Appearing on the latest episode of Joe and Jada, the So So Def founder was promoting his five-part Starz docuseries, Magic City: An American Fantasy. Dupri also revealed how much cash he was spending each week. He even named his favorite Magic City dancer, Whyte Chocolate.  “I used to throw the money up to the ceiling and let it shower the girls,” Dupri said at the time. “So, what other people are doing now, I used to do it specifically just to hit the ceiling because then the money would just splatter everywhere.” “I threw up a thousand dollars; the ceiling would make it fly all over the room. The money would stick to the ceiling, and the girls would stand with their feet on the couch and get their money back. I started that,” Dupri added. Last month at the American Black Film Festival, which was held in Atlanta, Dupri released the trailer of the highly anticipated docuseries. According to the synopsis of the docuseries, Magic City: An American Fantasy is a five-part docuseries “that delves into the storied history of Magic City, a legendary strip club in Atlanta, and its immense influence on hip-hop culture, sports, and Black culture over nearly 40 years.” 2 Chainz, Nelly, Shaquille O’Neal, Quavo, Killer Mike, and Big Boi share their firsthand accounts of Magic City in the series. “Magic City: An American Fantasy is a riveting behind-the-curtain look at one of the most unique places in Black culture,” said Kathryn Busby, president of original programming at Starz said in a statement. “The docuseries’ unprecedented insider access and history unveiled from those who built its empire is a perfect complement to Starz’s slate of adult, culture-driving shows.”

Pusha T is speaking his truth about why he and Kanye West don’t see eye-to-eye anymore. During an interview with Ebro Darden for Apple Music, he spoke about how their once-close relationship deteriorated.  “I feel like me and Ye, we don’t gel,” Pusha told  Darden at around the 45-minute mark. “Where I am right now in my life, I’m not with anybody who ain’t on my team — especially when I’ve been on your team.” Pusha also shared that West would collaborate with artists he saw as enemies, which accelerated the end of their partnership.  “He champions and stands next to anybody and everybody who don’t f**k with me,” Pusha explained.“And I don’t get that. I don’t understand that.” He also was not feeling how West spoke about the music they both created. “Why would you ever say anything negative about the music we created when you know it slaps?” the former GOOD Music president said. This continues Pusha T’s current trend of speaking candidly about West. In a previous interview with GQ, he said he lost respect for Ye as an artist and as a man. “We made some great sh*t, bro,” Pusha said. “He’s a genius. But that’s why me and him don’t get along, because he sees through my fakeness with him. He knows I don’t think he’s a man. He’s shown me the weakest sides of him, and he knows how I think of weak people.” On July 11, Clipse will release their highly anticipated sophomore project, Let God Sort Em Out. So far, the dynamic duo had released “Ace of Trumpets” and “So Be It” to critical acclaim.

Megan Thee Stallion may have just sparked a new wave of relationship rumors with a single Instagram post—and it has nothing to do with what she was wearing. The rapper recently shared a series of photos showing off her Hot Girl Summer swimwear collection, but it was a mystery man lounging in the background that had fans zooming in and asking questions. Social media users were quick to speculate that the unidentified figure bore a strong resemblance to NBA player Klay Thompson, who now plays for the Dallas Mavericks. While Megan didn’t tag or mention anyone in her post, that didn’t stop curious followers from dissecting the image. One person commented, “MEGAN IS DATING KLAY THOMPSON???!” while others cracked jokes about the guy’s physique, debating whether it could actually be the NBA star. “That’s not Klay, that’s his skinny stunt double,” one user joked. Another chimed in, “That’s the eBay version of Klay.” This isn’t the first time Megan’s name has been linked to a professional athlete. She was previously connected to Chicago Bulls forward Torrey Craig, with the two going public via TikTok in 2024. However, fans noticed that the two haven’t been spotted together since the spring. As for Klay, he’s had his share of attention over the years, with past relationships including actress Laura Harrier and singer Coco Jones. Neither he nor Megan has addressed the latest rumors, and there’s been no official confirmation of any romantic connection. Still, the internet is convinced there’s more to the story—and the timing, location, and casual nature of the alleged sighting has only fueled speculation. Whether it’s a soft-launch or just a coincidence, fans are already keeping tabs on the next post.

Lil Uzi Vert is once again being sued over an alleged assault in New York City, this time through a fresh lawsuit filed in Pennsylvania. Abdullah Ali, the man behind the claims, is taking another shot at holding the rapper accountable after a previous case filed in New York was dismissed earlier this year. The alleged altercation dates back to 2023, when Ali says he came across a Rolls-Royce in a trailer marked with Floyd Mayweather’s Money Team branding. According to the new lawsuit, Ali began taking photos of the vehicle, which allegedly led to a confrontation with several individuals he claims are connected to Uzi. Things reportedly escalated quickly, with Ali stating he was physically attacked—punched, kicked, and left with injuries that included a damaged shoulder and missing teeth. Although Lil Uzi Vert was previously named in the original New York suit, he was later dismissed from the case. At the time, his team firmly denied he had any role in the incident. Now, with the case being refiled in Philadelphia, Uzi is once again being dragged into the legal battle. In a statement to Complex, Uzi’s attorney Joanna Menillo stood by her client’s innocence. “This case has been frivolous from the outset with absolutely no evidence of any involvement by Uzi or Uzivert [Uzi’s company] in this alleged assault,” she said. “The Court in New York rightly dismissed this case and we expect the Court in Pennsylvania will do the same.” Floyd Mayweather, who was also named in the original complaint, has not issued a public response to the updated filing. As of now, the rapper’s team appears confident that the Pennsylvania court will throw out the case just as New York did.

Karrine Steffans can not recall if she ever had sex with Diddy. During an appearance on “Piers Morgan Uncensored,” after Diddy was found not guilty of sex trafficking and racketeering, she spoke about her interactions with the disgraced mogul. Steffans denied having a sexual relationship with the Bad Boy mogul, but then she admitted she couldn’t recall what really happened. “Well, not to my knowledge. Honestly, I’m questioning a lot of things right now,” Steffans said. When Morgan asked her if Diddy used drugs or alcohol to take advantage of her, she alleged: “I don’t know. Given what we know now, I can’t be sure.”  View this post on Instagram A post shared by The Neighborhood Talk (@theneighborhoodtalk) During an interview with the Daily Beast back in September 26, Steffans claimed she was introduced to the mogul as a ‘gift’ by an unnamed executive in 2001 “In retrospect, I realized that I was given to him as a gift by another executive,” Steffans recalled.  “Diddy’s car pulled up… He asked who I was, and the men spoke for me,” she added. She also said that Diddy’s is not just a problem in hip-hop but throughout culture. “It’s not just Diddy, and it’s not just music or hip-hop,” she said. “Men who hate women, men who hate who they are, who can’t admit to their sexuality… They beat us early and often.” Steffans is best known for her New York Times Best-Selling book series on hip-hop’s misogyny, titled Confessions of a Video Vixen (2005), The Vixen Diaries  (2007), and The Vixen Manual: How to Find, Seduce & Keep the Man You Want (2009).  If you or someone you know has been sexually assaulted, contact the National Sexual Assault Hotline at 1-800-656-HOPE (4673).

Ice Cube is not only one of the greatest rappers and a legendary filmmaker, but Selena Gomez used to love him as a child. Appearing on 3’s and Ones podcast, Cube said that he was already aware of Gomez’s childhood crush on him. “A lot of ‘em like me, homie,” Cube said.“What? What’s up? I heard this years ago. Look, I had my crushes too growing up.” Cube went on to reveal that Vanity whose real name was Denise Matthews from Prince’s Vanity 6 group was one of his favorites. “Look, I had my crushes growing up, too. Vanity, bring her in here and see what happens,” he said. “I had about four [childhood crushes].” “One of mine was Eminem only because I grew up listening to him,” she said. “My dad was a DJ, so he would remix all kinds of songs, and every time it was an Eminem song, I would just get so excited.” “Can I tell you my first one that I had a crush on, Ice Cube?” continued Gomez. “I had the biggest crush on him when I was, like, 5.” When he’s not being crushed on, Cube is celebrating the eight season of the BIG3, the hugely-popular 3-on-3 pro basketball league that he founded. We’ve got Hall of Fame coaches,” Cube said in an interview with Back In The Day Hoops On SI. “We definitely don’t want to tempt Rick Barry, Ice Man [George Gervin] to suit up. We’ll let the OGs coach the league and let the players play.” “That’s the beautiful thing about the league,” Ice Cube said. “You get to see people like Dr. J, Nancy Lieberaman back in the heat of battle, back wanting to win a game,” Cube continued. “They can’t play but they can coach their teams. They can show their passion. They can definitely scream at the refs.”

After reconciling and then marrying Ashanti, Nelly has proven himself to be a man a wisdom and recently avoided questions about hall passes. Appearing on the latest Complex’s GOAT Talk, Ashanti pulled a green card that asked who Nelly’s  “GOAT hall pass” would be. Without hesitation, Nelly dodged the question. “That’s a dumbass question,” Nelly said. “Who do y’all think y’all about to set up with that shit? There’s no way, I’m 50,” he added as Ashanti clapped in approval. “I could never fall for that trap. Who the hell answered that with their wife sitting across from them?” Nelly continued. “Gotta be an idiot. nah Nelly is a menace for “Tip Drill” being his GOAT breakup song Shop the Nelly & Ashanti GOAT Talk collection on @complex_shop: https://t.co/8Ax5OWTMSA pic.twitter.com/5EIu3joO3i — Complex Music (@ComplexMusic) July 9, 2025 Approving all the way, Ashanti gave Nelly a high-five. As the interview went on, the power couple shared how building a family is the essential “GOAT” move. In December 2023, they married in a private ceremony and welcomed their first child together, a son, Kareem, in July 2024. When asked about the “GOAT thing about being back together now versus then,” Ashanti said, “Having a child and, like, having a real family unit.” “For me, it’s the thighs, baby,” Nelly joked, as Ashanti laughed. “Like, you always had ‘em. But them thangs now? Them thangs thangin’.” During a red carpet appearance in March, Ashanti shared her eagerness to welcome more children into their lives, enthusiastically declaring, “Let’s go!” when asked about expanding their family. Her excitement was evident as she reflected on the joy of motherhood, saying, “Looking at my baby’s face, it’s just like, ‘Oh, one or two more!’”
