Snoop Dogg made waves in Hollywood on July 21st after unexpectedly joining the Zac Brown Band on stage during their set at Desert 5 Spot. What was supposed to be a casual warm-up show for their upcoming Love & Fear album quickly turned into a one-of-a-kind moment fans won’t forget. In footage obtained by TMZ, the energy in the room shifted when the Grammy-winning country band paused their set, asking the crowd to step back so they could film a music video. Moments later, Snoop emerged through the door, blunt lit, sunglasses on, and a mic in hand. The crowd erupted as he made his way across the stage, greeting fans before delivering a few bars alongside the band. The collaboration unfolded with the debut of a new song called “Let It Run,” a playful, genre-blending anthem that celebrates cannabis culture and chill vibes. As Zac Brown sang, “If it’s burning kind of funny, we can roll another one,” Snoop nodded along, puffing and rapping with ease. Their chemistry was undeniable, creating a mashup of Southern twang and West Coast cool. Sources told TMZ that the venue embraced the mood fully, with a designated area offering beer and joints to guests. Fans who had no idea Snoop was in the building were thrilled to catch the legendary rapper up close, especially after he spent most of the night backstage. Zac Brown Band is no stranger to mixing humor with music, and this new track continues that tradition. With lyrics that echo a carefree spirit and Snoop’s laid-back delivery, “Let It Run” fits seamlessly into both of their catalogs. The crowd, caught between surprise and celebration, got more than they bargained for—and a collaboration no one saw coming.

Jermaine Dupri is hoping that former Migos members Offset and Quavo will officially reconcile.   During an appearance on the BagFuel podcast, the So So Def founder shared his thoughts on the Migos’ breakup and how it forever changed the world of hip-hop in Atlanta. “That hurt a lot of the city, period,” he explained. “The Migos breaking up was a bad situation for Atlanta because they was moving — and I think they’re better together anyway, me personally.” He also shared how Takeoff’s death left a void in Atlanta and how the city is still grieving. “It was really crazy for us. I ain’t think Atlanta ni**as was gonna die,” Dupri recalled. “An Atlanta rapper dying felt like ‘Aw damn, what the f**k is going on?’ It felt crazy to me.” Less than a month before Takeoff died, Quavo and Takeoff’s collaborative album,  Only Built For Infinity Links, was released. The project was the last to involve Migos member. While  Quavo and Offset briefly reunited for a surprise performance at the 2023 BET Awards, they are not as close as they once were. One of the last times they were spotted together was with friends and family to honor Takeoff on what would have been his 31st birthday. On Instagram, Quavo said he would always honor Takeoff’s memory. “Happy Birthday Take!!! A 30 ball damn bro the youngest out gang getting old boyy but today we celebrate no matter what we will always celebrate you and keep your name alive as long,” his post read. “I’m here you are too twin it always have been like that and don’t nun change but the chains to infinity rocket man I love you.

NBA YoungBoy is once again the topic of online chatter after fans spotted what looked like a bold move in singer Lay Bankz’s Instagram comments. The rapper, known for both his music and complicated love life, dropped a cryptic “Mine??” under one of Lay’s recent photos—just enough to set social media ablaze. View this post on Instagram A post shared by The Shade Room (@theshaderoom) The issue? YoungBoy is married. He and Jazlyn Michelle tied the knot in January 2023, after dating since 2020 and getting engaged in 2022. They share two children together, and while their relationship tends to stay out of the spotlight, Jazlyn has been seen in a few of his music videos and often shares family moments online. So when fans noticed the comment, many felt like YoungBoy was acting like a free agent despite his family life. Reactions came fast and unfiltered. One user joked, “He’s the most single married man I’ve ever seen,” while another added, “If his wife’s not tripping, why should we?” Others warned Lay Bankz to steer clear, with someone writing, “He says your name, you’ll be pregnant next week.” There’s been no confirmation of any relationship between Lay and YoungBoy, but that didn’t stop fans from speculating or criticizing. With ten children by eight different women—including Jazlyn, Nia, Yaya Mayweather, and Jania Meshell—YoungBoy’s name has long been tied to relationship drama. Whether the comment meant anything or was just another random post, the internet is treating it like a headline. For now, it’s unclear how Jazlyn feels about the situation, but if past patterns hold, YoungBoy isn’t losing any sleep over the attention.

TMZ reports that Raekwon’s HashStoria cannabis dispensary, which opened its doors last November, might be closing up shop for good. Court documents obtained by TMZ reveal that on Friday (July 18), a judge ruled in favor of the landlord, BMHC LLC, demanding that HashStoria vacate the premises no later than July 1. However, Raekwon doesn’t see it that way and told the outlet, “We were hoodwinked, and while it’s a very sad outcome, we will have our day in court!” According to a representative for the rapper’s HashStoria dispensary, they do plan to sue and claim the initial agreement with the landlord had not been honored. Per Rae’s rep, the back rent was to be “prorated” while the building was under construction, which took significantly longer than expected. HashStoria reached an agreement with BMHC LLC to suspend payments due to zero revenue at the time. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Hashstoria (@hashstoria) HashStoria’s representatives also accused the City of Newark of contributing to the store’s closure by causing several permit delays. In another shocking claim, HashStoria’s rep states that the landlord then allowed an unlicensed dispensary to operate illegally next door, which was frequently raided. HashStoria developed the slogan “Legal AF” in response to allegations of landlord corruption. Despite allegedly being billed as a “Black-owned business,” HashStoria’s rep says, “communities aren’t owned by people of color and have to deal with constant red tape.” They plan to sue BMHC LLC for violating their rental agreement during construction and “poisoning” their million-dollar operation through the use of illegal vendors. On the other hand, BMHC LLC tells TMZ that they support the court’s decision, stating they provided HashStoria with ample time to pay the rent following the grand opening.

Earlier this month, Lizzo sat down with Women’s Health to discuss her weight loss, body positivity, and her ongoing health and wellness journey. The “Special” singer revealed to the outlet that finding healthy eating patterns had always been a “challenge” for her. Lizzo purported that she suffered from disordered eating, specifically, binge eating. “There were times when I would eat so much that my stomach hurt. When I was done, I would be so uncomfortable, I couldn’t breathe and wouldn’t let anyone know,” she says. According to Lizzo, she had “so much food noise and connected so much emotion to food.” She continued, “If I were sad, anxious, stressed, or working a lot, I would snack and just eat constantly. And then I would wait for everybody to leave, secretly order two separate meals on a food delivery site, then order dessert on a separate one.” Lizzo noted that there was “a lot of shame and guilt” that she had overcome before finding healthy habits to keep her in check. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Lizzo (@lizzobeeating) Today, she would describe her lifestyle as “very sustainable.” She added, “It’s a beautiful balance where it’s like, if you allow yourself to have something, you can enjoy it without overindulging and hurting yourself. I’m so proud of myself for overcoming that.” In June, Lizzo sat down with the Just Trish podcast to address speculation about her physical transformation, making it clear that it had nothing to do with trying to fit into Hollywood’s mold. Reflecting on her past, Lizzo revealed that she attended major red carpets, such as the Met Gala, at her heaviest and never once felt that her size held her back. Confidence was never the issue. But now, she says, she’s stepped into a new chapter where she genuinely feels the compliments she’s always received. “I actually believe the compliments,” she told host Trisha Paytas. Her recent changes, she explained, weren’t just about dropping weight—it was about taking care of herself from the inside out. That meant prioritizing skin care, dental work, and regular gym sessions. “I’ve tried everything,” Lizzo said when asked about Ozempic, but she stressed that her results weren’t the product of any shortcuts. The hard work, discipline, and consistency are what reshaped not just her body, but her mindset.
