The Rapper Recently Made Headlines
As The Shade Room previously reported, Kid Cudi’s name made headlines when Cassie sued her ex-boyfriend Diddy for sexual abuse, trafficking, and assault in November 2023.
In her 30-page lawsuit against Diddy, Cassie alleged that the music mogul was jealous of her relationship with Cudi. Additionally, she stated that Diddy vowed to blow up Kid Cudi’s car.
Shortly after, Cudi’s car was reportedly blown up while it was sitting in his driveway.
At the time, a spokesperson for Cudi confirmed Cassie’s allegation via the New York Times.
Shyne, who now goes by the name Moses Michael Levi Barrow, is the Leader of the Opposition in the Belize House of Representatives.
During a recent interview, he was asked if he felt his connection to Diddy — born Sean Combs — and the “cloud of suspicion for nefarious and dubious activity” that surrounds him would affect his image in government.
“I don’t see how, again, I…” he said before he was cut off by the interviewer, Jules Vasquez.
“You offer a scholarship in his name,” Vasquez stated.
Shyne said, “I’ll leave it up to you, sir. A scholarship to educate people has nothing to do…Sir, sir, sir…”
After the Belizean leader quieted the man, he referenced Prime Minister Andre Perez, who had severe accusations made against him by a woman named Wendy Auxillou. Additionally, he stated the woman allegedly fled to the United States for her safety. Barrow claimed the Belizian media swept it under the rug.
“That is what we need to focus on, what an entertainer who has nothing to do with politics, and he’s facing accusations, he has not been convicted of anything…” Shyne stated.
When asked if he still had contact with the Diddler, Barrow said, “I’ve been in touch.”
While speaking, Shyne also commented on the 1999 club shooting, which led to him serving prison time.
Roomies React To Shyne’s Interview
One commenter under The Shade Room’s Instagram report stated the former artist didn’t deserve to be dragged into the Diddy debacle.
@litpapi163 stated, “Shyne not only served his time but he maintained his innocence without snitching. He changed his life around and is comfortable with where he is in life. He needs to be left out of this mess.”
@jeankitnege agreed adding, “Leave this man alone. He’s at peace back in his country.”
Another Roomie felt the politico was taken advantage of by Combs.
_angelface26 stated, “Shyne a victim of Diddy too, he just don’t realize it.”
Here’s What Went Down In The Viral Footage Of GloRilla’s DUI Arrest
TMZ published body cam footage of GloRilla’s recent arrest on Thursday, April 18. In the footage, an officer approaches the rapper’s car and asks her how much alcohol she’s had to drink.
In response, Glo tells the officer she’s “cool” and isn’t “drunk or nothing.” The officer continues asking the rapper about her alcohol intake. However, GloRilla continues to insist that she is “okay.”
The officer then informs Glo that she can smell alcohol on her breath and marijuana coming from her car. Then, the officer informs the rapper that she will be searching her vehicle.
From there, Glo tells the officer that she has a registered firearm in her backseat.
At one point in the conversation, Glo even asks the official if she’s aware of who she is.
Check out the footage below.
According to TMZ, once GloRilla was out of the vehicle, she was instructed to participate in a series of sobriety tests. The outlet notes that the rapper appeared to do “pretty decently on most” of the tests.
However, Glo reportedly refused to take a breathalyzer.
At this time, the rapper has yet to publicly comment on the viral footage of her arrest.

@jerry.ford.jr stated the WNBA pay will increase when more buns fill the seats.

He wrote, “Big T gone make sure they got the money they deserve Joe… YOU ARE OUTTA HERE #Respectuflly.” However, several Roomies disagreed with his take.

A Representative For Kanye West Speaks Out
According to TMZ, a representative for Ye reached out to the outlet on Wednesday evening with additional information about the alleged incident.
“‘Grabbed’ is grossly inadequate as a description of what happened. Bianca was physically assaulted,” the statement reads. “The assailant didn’t merely collide into her. He put his hands under her dress, directly on her body, he grabbed her waist, he spun her around, and then he blew her kisses. She was battered and sexually assaulted.”
No additional information about the alleged incident has been reported at this time. However, Ye and Censori were seen the day after, on Wednesday, April 17.
At the time, the pair were recorded walking through Disneyland.
Before the beef on beats and innanet jabs, Drake and Rick Ross were a dynamic duo when it came to Hip-Hop hits. The rappers first appeared on a song together in 2009 and have created several timeless songs since.
Drake and Ross have created bangers as a pair in addition to tunes with other artists.
‘I’m on One’
DJ Khaled’s ‘I’m on One’ featured the two along with Lil’ Wayne.
Mr. ‘We The Best’ also featured the pair on ‘No New Friends’ a decade ago.

‘Pop That’

A Roommate commented under The Shade Room’s Instagram report, “…this is a messy Divorce, Who is going to get custody of DJ Khaled.”
Rick and Drake’s Go Head-To-Head
After Drizzy mentioned Ross in a diss mainly directed at Cali rapper Kendrick Lamar, Ross responded. He released a diss track of his own entitled ‘Champagne Moments’ on April 15. The cover art for the song was a black-and-white photo of a man resembling Drake. He referred to the ‘Jumbotron’ rapper as “white boy” several times. Additionally, he accused Drake of having plastic surgery, including a BBL and a nose job. Drizzy addressed the rhinoplasty rumors on Instagram by posting a text exchange with his mother. The Miami rapper then created a video response. The Universal Music Group artist then released screenshots of his DM exchange with Rozay to which he responded with videos roasting him.
Whew! Hopefully, the beef will transfer to Brotherhood real soon.
Here’s What Was Initially Shared After NBA YoungBoy’s Recent Arrest
According to ABC4 Utah, Lt. Mikelshan Bartschi of the Cache County Sheriff’s Office spoke with the outlet earlier this week. At the time, Bartschi explained that a search warrant was executed on YoungBoy’s home on Tuesday. Additionally, the lieutenant noted that officers from the Sheriff’s Office, the FBI, and Homeland Security participated in the search.
“Due to the complexity of the investigation, we will not be releasing any additional details concerning the investigation,” Bartschi reportedly stated. “Current criminal charges for Mr. Gaulden include [a] pattern of unlawful activity. The pattern of unlawful activity includes violations of the Utah Controlled Substances Act, the Identity Fraud Act, and fraud.”
Utah State Legislature reports that the Utah Controlled Substances Act states that a “controlled substance may not be dispensed without the written prescription of a practitioner.”
Here’s What Has Recently Been Reported
Then, on April 18, KUTV published a report sharing more information regarding the arrest affidavit related to YoungBoy’s recent detainment. According to the outlet, Cache County authorities believe the rapper is connected to a “large-scale prescription fraud ring.”
Authorities reportedly believe YoungBoy and other individuals called in fraudulent prescriptions by using “the names of real doctors and using fake patient names and birthdates.” Then, “alleged associates” of the rapper are believed to have picked up “the prescriptions from various pharmacies.”
KUTV reports that the investigation began after a pharmacist notified officials about receiving a call from a “doctor” whose contact information did not match the one on file. After contacting the medical professional, the pharmacy was notified that the false incident occurred numerous times. Furthermore, the outlet reports that 15 pharmacies were impacted by the false calls. Additionally, the outlet notes that the attempts did not stop even after law enforcement became involved.
According to the outlet, the arrest affidavit “recommends” 63 charges against the rapper. Additionally, that reportedly includes “20 counts of identity fraud, 20 counts of obtaining a prescription under false pretenses, and 20 counts of forgery.”
The remaining three charges include “one count each” for “possession of a dangerous weapon by a restricted person, engaging in a pattern of unlawful activity, and possession of a controlled substance.”
KUTV notes that during law enforcement’s search of YoungBoy’s residence, “more prescriptions and weapons” were found. Additionally, the rapper’s electronics were seized.
More Reported Details Regarding Jeezy’s New Motion
According to TMZ, the outlet obtained a “new motion” filed by Jeezy. Entertainment Tonight adds that the new filing “clarifies” Jeezy’s request regarding the custody of his and Mai’s 2-year-old daughter, Monaco.
The outlet reports that Jeezy made the new filing on Tuesday, April 16. Additionally, the rapper is now asking for him and Mai to “share joint legal custody and joint physical custody of the minor child.”
Furthermore, the rapper would like a “specific parenting time schedule” to be “determined by the Court consistent with the best interest of the minor child.”
In the filing, Jeezy reportedly noted that he and Mai previously determined a custody schedule for their daughter. However, it “broke down” earlier this year. In addition, Jeezy is accusing Mai of blocking his number, preventing him from speaking to Monaco.
The rapper reportedly asserts that he “really has not had any significant parenting with the minor child all year.”
Instagram user @boopthebeaut wrote, “Yeah cuz he knew he was being messy trying to take her from her mother. Side eye jeezy side eye!”
While Instagram user @apercusdemoi added, “This is all to sad. Even if they weren’t going to work out — this is cutting her deep. Picture you say you’ll never have kids, never remarry. And meet someone who inspires you to change your views and now this. That got to hurt!”
Instagram user @courtney_courtneyyyy wrote, “Jeezy Down at the courthouse every week ain’t he?! ”
While Instagram user @itsonly1_sequoria added, “He knew he was being petty”
Instagram user @itsijamietaylor wrote, “This love story is so heartbreaking. He did all of that stuff to win her over. Marry her, introduce her to a different lifestyle, divorce her and tries to take her only child. Not just her only child but a child she never thought she’d have. This is so heartbreaking. I pray that they can coparent peacefully. This is so disgusting.”
While Instagram user @calboydesquire added, “Joint Custody is the best way to go. Period. Primary custody is never in the best interest of the child, I think, unless one parent is just terrible”
Instagram user @lovely_anchal wrote, “Jeannie Mai is a great mom She’s always posting their child in the cutest way. I don’t know how Jeezy can hate on that”
While Instagram user @tessybeee added, “Joint custody is fair, neither of them are bad peoples. Just bad together ”
A Brief Recap Of Jeezy & Jeannie Mai’s Divorce Proceedings
As The Shade Room previously reported, Jeezy filed for divorce from Mai in September 2023. In December of that year, Mai accused Jeezy of being unfaithful during their union.
Additionally, the former talk show host alleged he violated the terms of their prenuptial agreement and would have to face a “significant financial penalty.”
In response, a lawyer for Jeezy denied Mai’s allegations against the rapper, per The Shade Room.
However, later that month, Jeezy accused Mai of “gatekeeping” their daughter and refraining her from seeing him “on a consistent basis,” per The Shade Room. In response, Mai denied Jeezy’s allegations and accused the rapper of keeping unlocked firearms around Monaco.
“…Ms. Jenkins’ insistence on reasonable safety measures being put in place, such as safely securing and locking away all firearms that have been unsecured in the past, as well as having familiarity and properly trained caregivers is absolutely not gatekeeping, but rather a responsible effort to prioritize their daughter’s well-being,” Mai’s response filing reportedly read, per TMZ.
At the time, Mai requested that the court send her and Jeezy to mediation so they could sort out a temporary custody schedule for Monaco.
Earlier this month, Jeezy acknowledged the mediation sessions between him and Mai. However, he alleged Mai was still keeping his daughter from seeing him consistently and filed a request for primary custody of the child.
At the time, the rapper also alleged Mai was not properly taking care of their daughter due to her constant travel schedule and alleged he “does not know where [Jeannie] is living with” Monaco, per Entertainment Tonight.
Furthermore, when the rapper reportedly saw Monaco earlier this month, he alleged she was “lethargic, appeared to be exhausted, and seemed to be underweight.”
Nunes wanted to get a $3,400 loan co-signed by any means necessary. The wild encounter occurred at the Rio de Janeiro branch of Itau Bank. The disturbing footage aired by TV Global in Brazil, showed her standing next to a man whose body was limp.
Erika attempted to hold his dropping head up, but it was clear something was off. Bank staffers phoned the police. Nunes referred to the man as uncle, and instructed him as she held his hand to sign the necessary paperwork.
“Uncle, are you listening? You need to sign [the loan contract.] If you don’t sign, there’s no way, because I can’t sign for you,” she says in the clip.
Though Erika inserted a pen between his fingers, it was apparent that the man wasn’t listening or living.
“Sign so you don’t give me any more headaches, I can’t take it anymore,” she said to the dead man.
Was Nunes Arrested?
An employee at the bank stated his skin color appeared abnormal and seemed to be unwell. Nunes quickly stated, “He is like that. he doesn’t say anything.”
Once police arrived, Erika was arrested.
Police Chief Fábio Luiz, told TV Globo, “She tried to pretend to get him to sign the loan.” He continued, “He already entered the bank dead.”
It was later determined that he died several hours before entering the financial institution. The man was identified as 68-year-old Paulo Braga. It is unclear if he is Nunes’ uncle. The police are investigating to discover the truth and determine if anyone else was complicit in Erika’s fraudulent attempt. She could possibly face embezzlement, abuse of a corpse, and theft through fraud charges.
You can check out the disturbing video of Nunes’ attempt to secure the dead presidents below.
