Over the weekend, Lil Nas X came out as gay on Twitter. In the tweet, he wrote that he thought his orientation was obvious: by zooming in on the rainbow patterns on the buildings of his 7 EP and a closer examination of c7osure. “Some of y’all already know, some of y’all don’t care, some of y’all not gone fwm no more. but before this month ends i want y’all to listen closely to c7osure,” it said in the tweet ending with a rainbow emoji.

The reactions among the fans have been mixed, with some maintaining their support and others renouncing theirs. Lil Nas X didn’t call out the fans with the latter reaction, only giving them a short and sweet “LMAO”.
It’s refreshing to see the artist of the most popular song of the year, “Old Town Road”, come out on the last day of Pride Month. I think that his fan base is young enough that the decision shouldn’t be too detrimental, and may even increase the support of some fans.
Although retired, Kobe Bryant is still recently signature shoes through Nike. The newest one, Nike Kobe AD NXT FastFit was recently shown off for the first time. According to Hot News Hip Hop, “the shoe boasts a translucent upper and a bulky high-top silhouette, while the FastFit technology from the Jordan 33 is placed across the toe box.”
The first images were acquired by Niketalk, an online Nike discussion board. The color scheme is white and red/pink, with a translucent finish across the top of it. It looks very spacy, and almost seems like a shoe covered in plastic.
There is no announced release date or price yet, though it is expected to be released this year. The fact that pictures of it have surfaced online is a good sign that the shoe will be dropped sooner rather than later.
The album cover art for Machine Gun Kelly’s upcoming project, Hotel Diablo, has been released. The rapper tweeted a picture of it with the official release date, July 5th.
The picture is of MGK as a kid, upside down with the top part of his head cut off. Machine Gun Kelly seemed like he was about to become irrelevant a couple years ago, but his beef with Eminem helped him resurface some popularity. Let’s see if he’s able to ride the wave with this upcoming album
Rich the Kid will have to pay $11,000 a month after settling his divorce with his ex-wife.
Last year, Antoinette Willis, Rich’s ex, filed for divorce, accusing the rapper of cheating often during their marriage. The judge decided that Rich would have to pay that fee to support the two children that he had with Willis.
Rich has added another kid into his family, this time with model Tori Brixx. Does that mean if he divorces her, he will have to pay $5,500 a month? Just wondering.
R Kelly and his attorney have asked the judge to dismiss one of the sex abuse lawsuits. This is one of the four alleged victims.
This suit was filed on February 21, in which the accuser claimed that she was sexually abused by Kelly when she was a minor in 1998. The debate arises because it wasn’t until years later that the victim became aware of her abuser, while in therapy. R Kelly’s legal team is arguing that the statute of limitations to file the lawsuit expired long ago. They said that the victim had until 2002 to file a claim for damages, but state law states that the victim has up to 20 years from “the date the person abused discovers” the abuse to take action.
The plaintiff’s attorney said that Kelly’s lawyers have the right to do this, but that it will be dismissed and will only prolong the case. Things don’t look good for the singer and it seems like his legal team are struggling for answers.
