Drake followed that up with a confirmation on his IG as well -

Yesterday in Toronto Drake teased all of his fans with a massive ice sculpture. 

What's the meaning of the whole thing? The short answer? Marketing!

The belief is that when it finally melts, it will give us the date that Drake is finally releasing his "Iceman" album. You know, the one we've been talking about for well over a year now? Drake did say that 2026 IS the year that we are finally getting that album but he's yet to tell anyone when this year it will actually happen.

Looks like we're finally going to have our answer, eventually. This thing is going to take a very long time to melt!

I mean, look at the size of this thing!

"One Spoon of Chocolate“ -

"Presented by Quentin Tarantino comes a bold new action thriller from the visionary leader of the Wu-Tang Clan, RZA’s (pronounced Rizah) One Spoon of Chocolate. A man chasing answers finds himself in a town where even the law can’t be trusted. Now, he’s done running—and ready to strike back. RZA’s One Spoon of Chocolate is in theaters May 1st. See it.”

Those charges range from speeding, failing to wear a seatbelt, willful obstruction of law enforcement officers, along with possession of a Schedule II controlled substance.

According to the Gwinnett County Sherriff's Office, they spotted Harris' Cybertruck speeding in neighborhood. Once officers were able to catch up with him, they noticed a handgun on the dashboard of the truck within the drivers reach. Harris allegedly told the police that he was on his way to pick up food and didn't know how fast he was going. When he was initially asked to get out of the vehicle, he refused. 

Once King was in custody, T.I. showed up on the scene, which you'll see in the newly released bodycam footage.

In all of this, for me, the craziest part is that King is wearing a Pokemon onesie. Does it get more gangster than that?

Here's the bodycam footage -

“Lil Tjay has not been shot, nor has Lil Tjay been charged with any shooting. Any reporting to the contrary is false. We encourage people to consult trusted news sources, and to verify the accuracy of any reporting, before reflexively sharing or repeating baseless rumors.”

Offset was shot last night outside of the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, FL. according to reports.

Officials are saying that the altercation happened in the valet area around 7pm Monday night. He was taken to the hospital but his injuries are considered not life-threatening and he is said to be in stable condition.

While it's really early to determine exactly what led to the shooting, it seems that there was a fight prior. When all was said and done, 2 people were detained. One of those people is rapper Lil Tjay. He was booked and then charged with misdemeanor disorderly conduct-affray. The 2nd person was not charged.

As for who was actually responsible for the shooting, that has yet to be determined.

Breezy actually responded to one of the posts and thankfully has a sense of humor about the whole thing!

We already saw her fall off a chair when she was in Vegas and now she took a spill thanks to a trap door that's on stage. 

This time, Cardi was performing in Seattle and she had a little mishap when she steps back and falls into an open "hole" that was directly behind her. Thankfully, again, she's totally fine. Maybe a little embarrassed, but just fine. You can see her laughing the fall off in the video.

Seems like a very good thing that she has all that padding to fall back on **wink wink**

During her song 'Thotiana" Cardi fell backwards but landed pretty softly. She kept right on performing, didn't miss a single lyric and even joked after she got up saying "That was the government". 

Check out the video here -

J. Cole dropped the info on the hip hop world earlier today with the announcement of his release date, which we now know is February 6th! That's right, just a little over 3 weeks away. 

How did Cole let us all know? He dropped a post on his IG, that's how. You can actually check it out right here -

Cardi has the internet rollin' with this video. She wants all men to know that if you care about your "image" then you should learn how to properly eat a banana. 

It's Cardi so you know the language is a little R rated but I think you need to watch this.

EsDeeKid has yet to reveal his actual identity and always wears a mask and hoodie every time he's seen. 

Do I think that it's Chalamet? Yeah, I do. However, Chalamet is yet to confirm or deny that it's him.

In an attempt to put those rumors to bed, Chalamet and EsDeeKid with the two being seen together in a new video drop. Keep in mind that just because they're seen in the video together, that doesn't mean anything. Between A.I. and the fact that it's not hard to have someone else play the part of EsDeeKid, this really doesn't clear anything up. Although, after hearing Chalamet spit some bars, it turns out he's a pretty decent rapper (without the mask and hoodie).

So if you need a night out and a break from all the holiday craziness, then get to Lost & Found in Albany for what's sure to be a hilarious night.

I actually had the chance to chat with Holly Viggiano about the show. Check out the interview here - 

Tickets for the show are $20 in advance and $25 the day of the show. Grab yours now by CLICKING HERE

Oh sure, those are typically the shoes that people wear to run errands or just kick it at home but Jack decided that they can also be worn to a Red Carpet event. In his defense here, the premiere was in NYC on Tuesday night where the temps were down near 30 degrees so it could've been a choice of function over fashion in this case.

How are you feeling about the choice that Jack made?

First of all, Dirty Bats is a "super group" made up of Slash, Duff McKagan (both of Guns n' Roses) and Chad Smith (Red Hot Chili Peppers). Now that we know that, let's get into the surprise guest that took the stage with them. That would be Bruno Mars, along with a bunch of others, but we're going to focus on Bruno Mars.

Bruno took the stage and shocked everyone when he and the band covered "Smells Like Teen Spirit" by Nirvana.

We got to The MVP Arena about 45 minutes or so before the game started so we grabbed a bite to eat at one of the concession stands and made our way down to our seats. While we were sitting there, one of the students that works for the "production team" came over and asked if I would like to take part in one of the games that they play during the time-outs. I asked what my options were and when I was told that I could play for "free beer for a year" I was sold. All I had to do was make a layup, a free-throw and two 3 pointers in the allotted :30 (it ended up being around :45 but who's keeping track?)

With about 12 minutes left in the 2nd half, I made my way over to where they told me to go and waited for my chance to get on the court and play the game. The time finally came and out I walked onto the court. The rest is all captured on video. 

The alleged booze is believed to be made of Fanta, apples, and sugar and left for several weeks to ferment. 

While TMZ is standing firm on the story, Diddy's team says that it never actually happened. They posted, and then deleted, a post on his X account stating - 

“The rumors claiming Mr. Combs was caught with alcohol are completely false. His only focus is becoming the best version of himself and returning to his family.”

There has also been a statement released by Juda Engelmayer, the family's spokesperson saying - 

“Mr. Combs is in his first week at FCI Fort Dix and is focused on adjusting, working on himself, and doing better each day. As with any high-profile individual in a new environment, there will be many rumors and exaggerated stories throughout his time there — most of them untrue.”

Engelmayer added - 

“We ask that people give him the benefit of the doubt, the privacy to focus on his personal growth with grace and purpose.”

Officials from the prison have said that they have no information of the alleged incedent.

Luckily for you, The Palace Theater in Albany has all of that covered for you! Their annual trick or treating event starts at 4pm and will be open to the public until 7pm on Halloween. So get the kids in their costume, maybe you throw one on too, and get to The Palace for music, treats, scares, fun activities and more!

Seriously, who doesn't love Stewart's? You'd be hard pressed to find someone in the 518 that isn't a fan.

Now, we know that there are a lot of hardcore Stewy's fans but I don't think they get any bigger than Jackson Simpson. Why do I say that? Well, he took the song "Teach Me How To Dougie" and flipped it to "Take Me Down To Stewy's" and shows massive love to the Capital Region staple!

C'mon now

"Take me down to Stewy's cuz I need something to eat. Take me down to Stewy's put $20 on pump 3. Take me down to Stewy's cuz I need a lil ice cream. Go home, go to sleep and have a nice dream"

Dude even shot an entire video for the song. Check it out!

Now he's pulling up to the JAMZ 96.3 studio to chat with H.B. Monte and D. Scott with his dude Harmony Samuels aka "H. Money". Harmony, by the way is a Grammy nominated and multi-platinum producer and song writer who's worked with Janet Jackson, Ariana Grande, and Beyonce, just to name a few!

Let's check out what the two have in the works on the latest edition of "The Pull Up"

Kev is 1/2 of the amazing hip hop violin duo "Black Violin" and will be at The Palace Theater in Albany this upcoming Sunday, October 5th. The show starts at 7pm and you can get tickets at PalaceAlbany.org

From The Apollo to The Grammy nominations, the touring, meeting President Obama and more. Let's get to know a little more about Black Violin!

Rocki Irish Mayers has joined her two brothers, Rza and Riot, at home and she is absolutely adorable. 

As you can see Rihanna is already fully obsessed with Rocki but what you don't see is how thrilled A$AP Rocky is! He seems to really enjoy being a present father and has even been quoted as saying - 

"What’s really fly is raising a family, bro, and loving them. Being there."

Without further delay, here is Rihanna's brand new baby -

The "Capital Region's Funniest Comic" will kick off this upcoming Tuesday, September 9th at The Van Dyke Music Club in Schenectady at 7pm. Some of the best comics in the 518 will try to take home not only hold that title for the next year but also take home the beautiful Championship belt.

I had the chance to talk with Ryan and Bri, who are both running the show and also performing, about what you can expect. Plus how to get tickets and where the events will be taking place. Keep in mind that this is not a one night event. There will be multiple shows.

YES, there will be a new champion crowned because last years winner is not competing this year.

You can check out the interview below!

We aren't talking about simply grabbing someone by the ear and yanking on it, oh no. We're talking about putting a rubber band around two people's ears and having them lean back until the other person either leans forward in pain or the rubber band actually pulls off of the other person's ear.

I have so many questions here. How do you figure out that this is the sport you want to compete in? Where do you find someone to train you for this? How do you train for this? Are people paying to go and watch these contests? If so, why? Where do you find these contests?  Is it sort of like "Fight Club"? You know the first rule, right?

Without further delay, I proudly give you "Ear Pulling"

After the most recent upgrades that the plane has gotten, it's not worth well over $200 Million and could possibly be one of the most luxurious private jets in the World.

This thing has a private bedroom with a full bathroom in it. Not to mention the lounge that features a card table and movie theater. The lighting is insane.

The whole plane is bonkers. 

Let's let Drake show you around his "Castle in The Sky"

"What would you do if your son was at home, crying all alone on the bedroom floor cuz he's hungry...." ring a bell? Yeah, we thought so!

Well, unfortunately, their lead singer Robbie Pardlo passed away on July 17th surrounded by his friends and family in Willingboro, NJ. Pardlo was only 46 years old. His cause of death has yet to be determined. He did struggle with alcoholism after City High had broken up however, it is still unknown if that is what lead to his early passing. 

Pardlo leaves behind a wife and 2 children.

Has there been talk about JB releasing a new album? Yes. Were fans hoping for a new album? Also, yes! Did we know we were getting it today, July 11th? Not that I know of.

"Swag" features 21 brand new song from Justin and he is pretty much talking about everything on there. From his marriage to Hailey Bieber, to his issues with the paparazzi, and a whole lot more. Oh and have no fear, there are plenty of features on the new album as well. Justin teamed up with Sexyy Red, Lil B, Gunna, Cash Cobain, Druski and 2 Chainz!

Here's "Sweet Spot" which features Sexyy Red - 

This is "Way It Is" featuring Gunna -
