Venom: Let there be Carnage; 10 trailer Easter Eggs.

Contents [hide]

1 First Look; Trailer:

The trailer for Venom: Let there be carnage is out now. giving us a tantalizing preview of the upcoming movie. Although, there is still no spidey in this film, unless you count the tiny spider that was squashed in the trailer. Thanks to the Sony and Marvel deal, this movie takes place in a different universe than the spidey films but that doesn’t rule out spider-man making an appearance in future films.

Multiverse exploration opens the door and allows for Spider-man to travel to this universe and potentially run into both Venom and Carnage. For that, we may have to wait and see what No Way Home brings. Just don’t have your hopes up for this movie.

Anyway, let’s check out the trailer to see all the teases and easter eggs for Venom: Let There Be Carnage.

First Look; Trailer:

10 Easter Eggs & Takeaways from the Trailer

1. Brock and Venom’s relationship

Now, that they share a body, they have to come up with ground rules for how to coexist. One major rule that Venom still seems to struggle with is the No Eating People, rule which has been prominently scrawled on a pizza box hung on the wall.

Everything appears to be chaos where Venom is concerned; he has taken to cooking if you can call that monstrosity a meal.

Everything is all over the place and Venom is singing “Let’s call the whole thing off” which could mean that everything isn’t going as smoothly for them.

2.Mrs. Chen

still remains a focal point for the duo. After protecting her against a robber, Mrs. Chen seems to be pretty chummy with both Eddie Brock and Venom (Tom Hardy).

That is, until she fails to deliver the shipment of Chocolate. Then, Venom proclaims, “I am happy to eat Mrs. Chen.” Needless to say, Venom takes chocolate very serious.

What is the deal with chocolate?

Why? Venom’s hunger for brains is actually a biological thirst for phenethylamine – a stimulant that symbiotes apparently need yet can’t produce naturally. The Symbiotes acquire it from the human brain. Phenethylamine is also present in Chocolate as a mood booster and could be a supplement or replacement when he’s told not to eat people. Without chocolate, Venom must acquire it from eating a human brain.

3. Easter Egg: Sale 50 –

may be for a variant cover of Spider-man which included Venom, with the tagline Venom No More.

Jersey’s Own Trust Tate talks music and his creative process with HypeFresh Magazine.

1. Who is Trust Tate?

Trust Tate is a 27-year-old from the Bronx, NY and bred in Jersey. Tate is a product of public school education with a multicultural perspective on life. I’m always looking at the bigger picture. As a Cicely Tyson Performing Arts High School and Rutgers grad, Tate has since become a vocalist, rapper, producer and engineer, with aspirations to be completely self-sufficient. I have no intentions of putting himself into a monolithic box.

2. What’s it like being from Jersey City?

Growing up next to NYC, I was used to being around people from different backgrounds who took pride in their culture. In fact, I grew up right above a Spanish restaurant on Monmouth Street and 7th street, near 3 different high schools. The Spanish music I heard early on influences my music today.

3. Being that you were shot at the age of 7-months-old, what is your take on gun violence in the Black community?

We live in a bang bang bang society. We have always had to go through that. First, they quarantine us and put us in boxes. Then, we start to see our neighbors as enemies. As a matter of fact, Black on Black crime shouldn’t be the first conversation, but still one that needs to be had. We are people scrambling for resources. The 16-year-old who shot me was trying to get at someone else. Although I was shot in the left arm twice and my bicep was severed, I don’t fault him for it. Everyone isn’t strong enough to overcome their influences and the desperation from their experiences. People are just trying to survive. At large, we need to do a better job of regulating our children and our neighborhood.

4. What inspires your music?

Life inspires my music. Music is art and art reflects life. Music is therapy. I’m operating in a scenario where passion makes money not money makes passion. My motto is to be freer with myself, my music, my family and friends. The more comfortable I am with myself, the better I can deal with myself. Real life thoughts, experiences and memories translate to music.

5. How is your music reflective of a therapy session?

My process includes beat selection and self-reflection. I ask myself two questions: Did I really feel something when I made it? Didi think about something specific or a particular theme? I get my ammo from experiences. We all have them, but we get caught up with worrying if people can relate. My goal is to protect people’s energy and protect people’s mental health. I want to tip the scale from the norm of sweeping pain under the rug.

6. What has your journey been like transitioning from SoundCloud to the mainstream music industry?

I’m actually never leaving SoundCloud. It’s free and not divisive. Artists like myself can freely experiment and know people will listen. Fans have bourgeoisies about who to listen to. People have to trust you to give them a feeling that they’re relying on. Music is an expression of something. To me, SoundCloud is like other platforms – it’s a connecting piece between artists and fans. It gave me the foundation to reach the heights that I’ve reached thus far.

7. Tell me about your background in music.

My father came up as a teenager with legends such as Rakim and KRS-One in Long Island and the Bronx. was also a well known break dancer like Crazy Legs in the 80s and 90s. On the other hand, my mother raised me on eclectic sound from Jay-Z to John Mayer. Music was destined to be my way of life.

8. Who are your music influences?

I can go on all day but I’d say I’m influenced by Michael Jackson, Kendrick Lamar, Drake, Kanye, Jay-Z, Disturbed, Metallica, Tool, Marilyn Manson, Gwen Stefani, Amy Winehouse, etc. Lastly, I would add Jersey Club Music in the mix too – I generally gravitate towards artists that are free spirited. I also have vinyls of SWV and Diana Ross. I was a psychology major, so I acknowledge the fact that I am consciously or subconsciously influenced by these people.

9. What do symbols mean to you?

I’ve been studying religious symbols from around the world. I want to study all religions. At the moment, I don’t adhere to any religious discipline, but I’m curious to know what all peoples’ histories are. I look closely for differences and similarities between Abrahamic and Non-Abrahamic religions. Each religion comes from two trees, which has come from one tree. In fact, I’m waiting to get my results back from ancestry.com. I’m eager to determine my religious background based on religious practices in the motherland.

10. How has your creative process changed during the pandemic?

I have definitely honed in on my creative process. I have actually been quarantined since January 2020. Since then, I’ve been in the studio, locked in. I make music everyday three to four times a day, mixing and mastering for myself and other artists. I’m always studying something. I’m currently studying photoshop so that I can do my own cover art. I love working with people; therefore, I’m working to better myself to help others.

11. What can you tell your fans and music fanatics about ‘FaceTime’?

‘FaceTime’ is a story that everyone can share. Everyone can relate to the reality that someone calls you and you don’t feel like talking. The person may not even have anything to say, but uses you as a boredom killer. Then you think, “why are we even on the phone right now? The WIFI is fine, but I don’t dig the poor connection. My cousin, Jus1, shows the other side where a woman is on FaceTime but hiding from her man in the bathroom. The producer is from UK – makes Afrobeats and pop beats.

Hypefresh Caught up with Singer/writer/actress Tiffany Evans

Tiffany Evans has been involved in the music industry for almost two decades, yet her best days are still ahead of her. The Bronx native is probably most famous for her role in Tyler Perry’s “Diary of a Mad Black Woman.” Or you may know her from her hit single Promise Ring ft, Ciara. However, there is much more to the former child star then what the average fan might know or assume about Ms. Evans.

Hypefresh got a chance to talk with Tiffany about a wide range of topics, including her Bronx upbringing, breaking the child star stigma, and her growth as a woman and artist.

The first thing you notice about Tiffany Evans when talking to her is the down to earth vibe she naturally gives off. Upon taking the call, Tiffany was very gracious and respectful, while her soft angelic voice gave off just the right dose of confidence. Her words are smooth and non-threating yet assured and unafraid.

She speaks as a woman who has experienced life from both ends of the good and bad spectrum but hasn’t let the bad turn her bitter.

The first thing we discuss is how her Bronx upbringing has influenced her artistry and her style. You can hear the singer brighten up at the thought of her home.

You were born and raised in the Bronx, which is the birthplace for hip-hop. How has that influenced your artistry?

TIFFANY: The Bronx is full of flavor. People of all different walks of life. Not just the borough, but New York period has a different hustle and passion. I use that spirit when it comes to my music and work ethic. Going back home is always inspirational for me, as well.

She gives props to other Bronx natives such as J-lo and Cardi-B for doing a fantastic job of representing the city and applauds J-lo for how she built an empire that expands beyond entertainment.

From there, we went on to discuss how Tiffany Evans became such a polished performer at such a young age

You have been in the music industry for a while, at nine you performed at the Apollo, at ten you completed Star Search with a perfect score how did you become such a polished performer at such an early age?

TIFFANY: I was raised in a household where we listened to and studied a lot of the greats like Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, James Brown, etc. and I always wanted to exhibit the same passion as them when I am on stage. I took notes very early and started to do that in my performances.

However, Tiffany also acknowledges that being a child star isn’t all glitter and gold. Growing up in the music industry exposes you to a-lot more, a lot faster, and you still have to face all the regular growing pains. The 27-year-old mother of two touched on how growing up in front of the world presents a set of problems most people don’t have to deal with. She goes on to point out that it took her a while to learn how to prioritize her mental and spiritual health.

Take us into what the transition has been like to go from child star to teen, to a now-grown woman with real woman issues to deal with, all while growing up in the public eye?

TIFFANY: The transition was far from easy. A lot of people had a hard time seeing me grow up, and when I started to make my own decisions, separate myself from certain crowds, it was appalling to a few people. Nobody really knows what I’ve had to endure these past several years, and it’s the reason why I had to take so many breaks from music. I had to gather myself, my life. I can say that I’m in a great space now.

More Than Just A Child Star

Tiffany goes on to share what it was like “breaking the stigma” of being a child star and growing into the woman she is today. She shares that it wasn’t something she did intentionally, but instead, it happened organically. It wasn’t her intention to shed the child star label when she got married or had children, but a casualty of growing up.

Did you feel the need to break away from the stigma of being a child star, or was it something that organically happened?

TIFFANY: It all happened organically, thank God. I believe part of it is due to me taking the time out for myself that I needed to grow.

Some fans may have wondered where Tiffany has been since her promise ring days, and some may have thought she quit. On the contrary, though, Tiffany has been busy this entire time not only with her family but in her career as well. Evans says she never stopped recording music even when she wasn’t putting any out. She did, however, stay busy during those times, writing music, acting, and growing as an entrepreneur. Aside from an EP released in 2015, Evans has worked on music for hit shows STAR and Glamour. In Addition to that, Tiffany has also collaborated with artists like T-pain and Phora on their tracks. Evans also had appearances in popular television shows Law and Order and the district as well as other film and TV credits.

What’s Next

Tiffany Evans is ready to reintroduce her self and her music to the world. The singer has released two singles in the last year with her hit song’s “Switch Up” and “Merry Go Round.” Both songs highlight Tiffany’s incredible vocal skills and show that Tiffany is a full-grown woman. A first glance, one may not even be able to recognize Tiffany Evans as the little girl who sang her heart out in Diary of a mad black woman. Evans gives off effortless sex appeal that doesn’t distract from her music or lyrics rather complements it beautifully. Her music also reflects her maturation as a person as the content of her songs are revolved around issues adults are facing in today’s world.

When asked what people can expect to get from her upcoming project Tiffany Evans clearly states that her music is going to be real.

What can we expect from the new music/ new projects you are working on?

TIFFANY: The music on this project is a lot more vulnerable. I drew inspiration from my personal experiences, as well as experiences from my close friends that we talk about. Most importantly, you can expect a lot of growth, and I can’t wait until everyone gets to hear it. I’m very proud of this body of work.

What producers and or artists are you working with for your new material?

TIFFANY: I work with a lot of up and coming producers because of the passion and go-getter mentality they have. Producer Crazy T, J Track, Fever, WAV, A-Lex, GoTo, Tasha Catour, and Jawan Harris. Still not everybody but to name a few. They’re all so dope to me, and I can’t wait for everyone to see them shine and to hear what we’ve conjured up.

Talent-wise, there is no question that Tiffany Evans belongs in the Top-Tier of entertainment acts in the game. She can sing with the best of them, she writes music, she acts, and her energy is fantastic. Now that she is ready to rerelease music, we are expecting her to take her rightful place in the upper echelons of the artist topping the charts.

TikToker Heston James Could Get 9 Years in Prison After Shocking Store Prank Videos

He chased clout — now he might be chasing a plea deal.

Heston Cobb, better known to his 1.6 million TikTok fans as “Heston James,” has been arrested following a months-long string of viral pranks that authorities say went too far. The 21-year-old influencer was taken into custody at his Arizona home on July 23 after police linked him to a series of elaborate — and, according to law enforcement, illegal — stunts at several local businesses.

Now, the content creator who made a name for himself with chaotic and outrageous videos could face serious punishment: up to 9 years and 8 months in prison.

A post shared by Da-TRapHouse.TV 🏚️📺🔥❤️‍🔥📡 (RHTV) 🔌🪄 (@rap.housetv)

Cobb rose to fame by pulling bold, disruptive pranks — often involving fake uniforms, phony job titles, and unsuspecting employees. But authorities say his recent stunts crossed the line from comedy into criminal territory.

Between March and July this year, Cobb and a group of collaborators allegedly posed as employees at places like Jiffy Lube, Pep Boys, and even a Chipotle. In one widely viewed video, Cobb walked into a Chipotle with a bogus cleaning crew and told staff he was there to “clean house” due to portion complaints. Employees were so alarmed, they called 911.

In another video, Cobb impersonated a mechanic at Hyland Auto Repair, claiming to be from “corporate,” responding to a customer issue. Moments later, a van of pranksters arrived, filming themselves crawling under customers’ cars — prompting safety concerns and confusion.

He was also known for creating chaos by randomly shrieking inside stores, only to pretend he had no idea where the noise came from.

The videos, which went viral across platforms, may have drawn millions of views and earned Cobb potential ad revenue — but they also attracted the attention of Arizona law enforcement.

According to Tempe police, Cobb now faces 13 criminal charges, including:

1 count of Burglary in the Third Degree
2 counts of Criminal Impersonation
5 counts of Disorderly Conduct
5 counts of Criminal Trespass

All told, Cobb could be sentenced to nearly a decade in prison and be on the hook for over $315,000 in fines if convicted on all counts and given the maximum penalties.

“These videos are definitely not pranks,”

Officer Jessica Ells of the Tempe Police Department told reporters.

“They’re crossing the line from something that’s fun and playful into criminal territory. They’re breaking laws.”

While Cobb does not appear to have any prior criminal history, prosecutors may push for harsher consequences due to the scale, coordination, and publicity surrounding the stunts.

For the businesses affected, the consequences were more than just momentary confusion.

“I hope this arrest puts pressure on platforms like Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok to take a closer look at what they allow,”

Said David Hyland, owner of Hyland Auto Repair.

“These pranks created real disruptions and real risks.”

Many targeted businesses were forced to temporarily halt operations while sorting out what was real and what was part of the act.

Cobb’s arrest echoes a troubling trend among social media creators: chasing views with increasingly reckless behavior. His case follows the arrest of another viral prankster, Charles Smith (a.k.a. “Wolfie Kahletti”). He was taken into custody late last year after allegedly spraying pesticides on Walmart produce during a so-called social experiment.

Tempe police warn other influencers to think twice before staging similar “pranks.”

“This could lead to criminal charges. Are you really prepared to go to jail for a video?”

Said Officer Ells.

Cobb has not been convicted yet and will have his day in court. But his legal troubles serve as a sobering reminder that going viral can have serious real-world consequences.

Klay Thompson Loses Cool When Asked About Tory Lanez’s Release

Klay Thompson is making it clear that some topics are off-limits.

The Dallas Mavericks star was caught on video in New York City this week, firmly shutting down a fan who brought up Canadian rapper Tory Lanez — the man convicted of shooting Thompson’s current partner, Megan Thee Stallion.

The brief clip, which quickly spread across social media, shows Thompson walking solo down a Manhattan sidewalk, wearing headphones, when a man with a phone camera trails him and asks, “Bro, how do you feel about Tory Lanez coming home?”

Caught off guard, Thompson repeats the question to ensure he heard correctly. Once he does, the four-time NBA champion responds sharply:

“Bro, get away from me,” before walking away without looking back.

Thompson’s strong reaction comes just weeks after he and Grammy-winning artist Megan Thee Stallion went public with their relationship in July. The couple has been spotted together at several off-season events, and their romance has quickly become a hot topic online.

But the mention of Lanez — Megan’s former partner and the man who was sentenced in 2023 to 10 years in prison for shooting her in 2020 — crossed a line. Though Lanez remains incarcerated at California Men’s Colony, online rumors falsely suggested that he had been released early this week — a claim the fan referenced with the phrase “coming home.”

Once the clip surfaced, social media users defended Thompson, applauding the athlete for handling the situation.

“Corny and disrespectful,” one X (formerly Twitter) user wrote of the fan’s approach. “He did the right thing walking away.”

Others noted that the cameraman appeared to follow Thompson for several blocks before asking the question — something many called “borderline harassment.”

“You get a rare chance to talk to Klay Thompson, and that’s the question you go with?” another fan commented. “Wild.”

Tory Lanez, whose real name is Daystar Peterson, was convicted on multiple felony counts, including assault with a semiautomatic firearm and negligent discharge. His parole eligibility won’t begin until 2029, and absent a successful appeal or sentence reduction, he will remain in prison until at least 2033.

Though just a few words, Thompson’s response spoke volumes. And judging by the outpouring of support online, fans agree: some things are better left unsaid.

Tay 600 Shocks Fans by Going Undercover as a Woman to Enter the Viral “Tea App”

Tay 600 Shocks Fans by Going Undercover as a Woman to Enter the Viral “Tea App”

Chicago rapper Tay 600, the 28-year-old artist, whose real name is Gerante Carpenter, has made headlines across social media platforms this week as rumors of his unexpected stunt sparked both outrage and fascination. According to reports circulating on Instagram, TikTok, and Twitter — and fueled by hip-hop media outlet No Jumper — Tay allegedly used a disguise, possibly including a wig, to bypass the app’s gender-verification system.

While Tay has yet to publicly address the situation, the internet is buzzing with commentary. One YouTube video even suggested the rapper was “subliminally dissed” by fellow artist Bloodhound Vert for allegedly “wearing a wig to get on da Tea App.”

The Tea Dating Advice app, which has recently taken the No. 1 spot on the App Store’s list of free apps, is a buzzy new platform designed exclusively for women. It’s marketed as a digital “safe space” for women to share dating advice, experiences, and — in some cases — warnings.

With over 4 million users, the app lets women:

Leave anonymous reviews of men they’ve dated
Upload photos with “red flag” or “green flag” ratings
Conduct background checks and reverse image searches
Swap dating stories and safety tips with other users

To protect its community, the Tea App requires new users to verify their identity by submitting a selfie and photo ID. The app claims all documents are deleted after verification — but recent events have put that claim under scrutiny.

Just days before the Tay Capone incident went viral, the Tea app experienced a major data breach that exposed more than 72,000 images — including over 13,000 selfies and photo IDs used for verification. The breach sparked widespread concern about the platform’s security and user privacy, especially given its purpose as a safety tool for women.

The timing of Tay’s alleged infiltration only added fuel to the fire.

Tay 600 first rose to prominence as part of Chicago’s drill music scene, where he was affiliated with the 600 crew. In recent years, he rebranded himself as Tay Capone — a name he says reflects his growth from his “ignorant” past to a more evolved version of himself.

The incident has quickly become a lightning rod in larger discussions about privacy, gender-specific platforms, and the effectiveness — and vulnerability — of digital verification systems.

“It’s one thing to question how secure these platforms are,” one user posted on X (formerly Twitter). “It’s another thing entirely when someone actively tries to exploit them for clout or curiosity.”

Whether Tay Capone’s alleged actions were part of a prank, a social experiment, or something else remains unclear.

Massive Data Breach Hits Tea App – 2M Users’ Selfies & Licenses Leaked

Massive Data Breach Hits Tea App – 2M Users’ Selfies & Licenses Leaked

Tea, women-only dating safety platform that has been described for making women wiser in dating, became victim to a disastrous data leak that published over 72,000 user images, consisting of selfies and government identification cards. The leak, first uncovered through 4chan, has destroyed faith in the platform, which became number one in the U.S. App Store with over 4 million users.

At 6:44 AM PST on July 25, 2025, Tea detected unauthorized access to a legacy storage system holding data from users who joined before February 2024. Hackers exploited an unsecured database, leaking 59.3 GB of sensitive content online.

“This is what happens when you entrust your personal information to a bunch of vibe-coding DEI hires,”

one 4chan user taunted, highlighting the breach’s technical failures. The leaked data quickly spread across platforms like BitTorrent, making it nearly impossible to contain.

The breach compromised approximately 72,000 images: 13,000 verification selfies and IDs, including driver’s licenses, and 59,000 images from posts, comments, and private messages. Contrary to Tea’s claim that only “old data” was affected, some IDs dated as recently as 2024 and 2025.

“Create a women-centric app for doxxing men out of envy. End up accidentally doxxing the women clients. I love it,”

a Reddit user quipped, capturing the irony of the exposure.

The vulnerability stemmed from a misconfigured Firebase storage bucket a cloud-based system for app data that lacked passwords or encryption.

“No authentication, no nothing. It’s a public bucket,”

the original leaker noted. Cybersecurity experts point to “vibe coding,” where developers rely on AI tools like ChatGPT to generate code without thorough security checks.

“Vibe coding is awesome, but the code these models generate is full of security holes,”

warned computer scientist Santiago Valdarrama. Research from Georgetown University shows 48% of AI-generated code contains exploitable flaws, a risk compounded by Tea’s rapid growth.

Users who signed up before February 2024 are at risk, with their IDs and selfies now searchable online. The exposure heightens fears of identity theft, stalking, and harassment, especially for women who trusted Tea’s promise of anonymity. While no email addresses or phone numbers were leaked, the damage is profound.

“Protecting our users’ privacy and data is our highest priority,”

Tea’s spokesperson insisted, but affected users face real threats.

Tea, founded by Sean Cook in 2023 after his mother’s troubling online dating experiences, marketed itself as a “digital whisper network” to protect women from catfishes and predators. Its verification process, requiring IDs and selfies, aimed to ensure a women-only space but became a liability. The breach undermines Tea’s mission and fuels ethical debates about its model, which some critics call “vigilante justice” for anonymously reviewing men. Pew Research notes 46% of women feel unsafe on dating apps, making Tea’s failure particularly stinging.

The Tea breach isn’t isolated. Earlier in 2025, an AI agent at SaaStr deleted a company’s database during a “vibe coding” session, exposing systemic risks in AI-driven development. Apps requiring ID verification, like Tea, face heightened scrutiny as privacy laws tighten in the U.S., U.K., Canada, and Australia.

“The incident underscores the ongoing challenges faced by mobile applications in balancing user verification with data security,”

a cybersecurity expert told hypefresh Media.

— Raphousetv (RHTV) (@raphousetv2) July 25, 2025

Tea has hired third-party cybersecurity experts to investigate and secure its systems, emphasizing no evidence” of current user data being compromised. Affected users should enroll in credit monitoring, freeze their accounts, and report ID misuse to authorities. As Tea navigates potential lawsuits and regulatory probes, users and observers await transparency on the breach’s full scope. The incident serves as a sobering reminder: even apps built on trust must prioritize ironclad security to protect those they aim to empower.

North Dakota Promoters Spark Soulja Boy’s Anger With Bare-Bones Trailer

The North Dakota State Fair in Minot turned up the heat with its “Turn Up, ND!” concert, featuring hip-hop heavyweights Fat Joe, Bow Wow, Soulja Boy, and Rick Ross. But the real buzz didn’t come from the stage it erupted online when Soulja Boy, born DeAndre Cortez Way, posted a viral video ranting about his dressing room trailer.

“Hey, bro. This is how y’all got me out here,”

he fumed, panning his camera across a cramped, empty trailer.

“No bathroom, no fridge, no bed. Look how you do me, y’all.”

Meanwhile, he claimed Bow Wow, who was born Shad Gregory Moss, lived big in a spacious trailer with a bathroom, refrigerator, and television set. The clip, originally posted on X and TikTok, went viral on social media, with individuals debating equality as well as artist treatment.

The short clip, less than two minutes long, features Soulja Boy annoyed as he contrasts his no-frills accommodations with Bow Wow’s high-end rooms.

“You got a stove, this ain’t cooking, this mother… You got hella drinks. You got the bathroom,”

he says, mocking the disparity with a nod to Bow Wow’s film-star status.

“This is because he got like mics in movies and shit.” The “Turn Up, ND!”

event was a historic moment for the fair, bringing four major hip-hop acts to a state not known for such concerts. Yet, Soulja Boy’s complaint stole the spotlight, turning a night of nostalgia into a viral controversy.

Soulja Boy and Bow Wow go way back, their relationship a mix of rivalry and camaraderie. Both rose to fame in the 2000s Soulja Boy with “Crank That,” a viral sensation that topped the Billboard Hot 100, and Bow Wow with hits like “Let Me Hold You.” Their 2021 VERZUZ battle, a nostalgic showdown of their catalogs, reminded fans of their competitive chemistry. But offstage, incidents like this highlight tensions. Soulja Boy’s recent legal troubles, including a $4 million judgment in a 2021 sexual assault lawsuit, have kept him under scrutiny, making his public outbursts like this trailer rant fodder for both sympathy and skepticism.

In the music industry, artist riders contracts detailing performers’ needs are standard. Headliners like Soulja Boy typically expect private trailers with bathrooms, climate control, and basic comforts like beds or fridges. Disparities in accommodations, as alleged here, raise questions about promoter fairness. Was this a cost-cutting move by the North Dakota State Fair organizers, or did they prioritize one artist over another? Without an official statement from the promoters, the story remains one-sided, but the video evidence and Soulja Boy’s claims have fueled speculation about favoritism.

The viral clips, shared across platforms like X and Instagram, appear to capture Woesenpai in distressing situations. One video shows her throwing herself onto Rojah’s car, attempting to damage it. Another depicts her smashing a TV and a car window, while a particularly alarming clip shows her sitting in the middle of a road at night, expressing suicidal thoughts. The most talked-about footage, however, allegedly shows Woesenpai running into a wall and using a handgun in a way that suggests self-harm, raising serious concerns about her well-being.

Rojah, who dated Woesenpai for two years, released the videos to support his claims of abuse, accusing her of physical aggression and using racial slurs. The accusations have fueled a public scandal, with the Instagram influencer’s 937,000 followers caught in the crossfire of the controversy. Social media users are split, with some backing Rojah’s evidence and others questioning the context of the footage.

In response, Woesenpai took to Instagram Stories to deny the allegations, calling the videos a “smear campaign.” She claims the clips are old, taken out of context, and reflect a mental health crisis triggered by Rojah’s alleged emotional and financial abuse. Woesenpai further accused him of stealing money from her and her daughter, insisting she sought professional help to cope with his manipulation. She firmly denied using racial slurs, stating no such footage exists.

‘Serial Butt Sniffer’ Busted Again After Creepy Incident at Nordstrom Rack

A serial offender with a bizarre obsession is back in handcuffs after allegedly sniffing a woman’s backside at a Nordstrom Rack in Burbank, California, leaving shoppers rattled and reigniting a fiery debate about public safety. Calese Carron Crowder, 38, was nabbed by police on July 22, 2025, for attempting to commit a crime, thrusting his troubling history back into the spotlight and exposing gaps in how the system handles repeat offenders.

It was just before 11 PM at the busy Burbank Empire Center when officers caught Crowder in the act, crouching near an unsuspecting woman in what police say was an attempt to sniff her rear end. He’s now locked up on $100,000 bail, facing a court date on August 1, 2025. As a registered sex offender already on parole for lewd acts since 2021, Crowder’s latest stunt has locals furious and questioning why he’s still roaming free to strike again.

Crowder’s rap sheet reads like a broken record of bad behavior. Back in August 2023, he became an internet pariah when a TikTok video showed him sniffing women named michaela witter backsides at a Burbank Barnes & Noble, sparking outrage and disgust across social media. Weeks later, Glendale cops arrested him for peering into a family’s home, but he walked free due to jail overcrowding. He was soon back in custody for dodging sex offender registration requirements, a condition of his parole. With prior convictions for burglary, robbery, and indecent exposure, Crowder’s track record paints a grim picture of a man who can’t seem to stay on the right side of the law.

What’s driving this guy? That’s the question on everyone’s mind. No public records point to a psychological diagnosis, but his relentless pattern of creepy behavior suggests something deeper, maybe a compulsion or unresolved issue that keeps pulling him back to these acts. One woman’s chilling claim that Crowder stalked her teenage daughter years ago only fuels fears that his actions go beyond isolated incidents, leaving a trail of shaken victims.

Burbank police are now on high alert, convinced there could be more victims out there. They’re pleading for tips, asking people to call the Burbank Police Department at 818-238-3210 or drop anonymous leads through LA Crime Stoppers or 800-222-8477. “We need the community’s help to stop this,” an officer told us, stressing their commitment to keeping Burbank safe.

NBA YoungBoy’s Family Grows Again? Rapper Teases Baby No. 13

Baton Rouge rap artist Kentrell DeSean Gaulden, better known as NBA YoungBoy, stunned social media with a social media update declaring that he is having his 13th child at the tender age of 25. After declaring his third child with his spouse Jazlyn Mychelle Hayes, fascination with continuously expanding family of hip-hop icon was again ignited, as well as social media frenzy of reactions. In an industry where private lives are a focus of social discussion, YoungBoy’s update underscores his divisively but fascinating presence.

YoungBoy NBA was born on October 20, 1999. He burst into success with tracks like “Outside Today” alongside a highly successful line of mixtapes followed by albums. His high-energy, enthusiastic take helped him secure a core group of dedicated fans, with four No. 1 albums on Billboard 200. Yet, his personal life with a large family alongside encounters with police authorities tend to overshadow his success in music. YoungBoy’s family now includes 13 confirmed children with eight different mothers, a figure that has drawn comparisons to celebrities like Nick Cannon, who also has a large brood.

YoungBoy’s journey as a father began at 16 with the birth of his son Kayden in 2016 to Nisha Keller, followed by Armani in 2020 with the same mother. In 2017, he welcomed Taylin with Trinia Nia and Kamiri with Starr Dejanee, also co-raising Kamron, who is not biologically his. Jania Meshell gave birth to Kacey in 2019, while Drea Symone welcomed Kodi Capri in 2020. Iyanna “Yaya” Mayweather, daughter of boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr., had Kentrell Jr. in 2021. YoungBoy’s wife, Jazlyn Mychelle, whom he married in 2023, is the mother of Alice (2021), Klemenza (2022), and the expected 13th child. Rumors of additional children with Drew Valentina and a woman named Hailey, who reportedly gave birth to a daughter named Kiori in 2023, remain unconfirmed by YoungBoy himself.

The announcement exploded across X and Instagram, with fans and critics flooding timelines with memes and commentary. One popular meme depicted a basketball team dubbed

“YoungBoy’s starting five and subs,”

while another quipped,

“he goin after Genghis Khan’s throne”

Some, like @Olyvia_Tweets, joked, “Bro has Strategically deploying a mix of humor and serious commentary, posts also raised concerns about fatherhood and responsibility. The viral nature of the news, amplified by outlets like IndiaTimes, highlighted YoungBoy’s polarizing persona.

YoungBoy’s life has been turbulent, with legal troubles shaping public perception. Arrested in 2023 on 63 charges related to a prescription drug fraud scheme, he faced house arrest, federal gun charges, and a 23-month sentence, reduced by a May 2025 presidential pardon from Donald Trump. Now on probation in Utah, his legal saga adds scrutiny to his personal choices. His openness about fatherhood, like featuring children in videos such as “Kacey Talk,” contrasts with his candid admission to Bootleg Kev in 2024:

“I’m not really big on it, to be honest.”

This tension fuels debates about his responsibilities as a father of 13.

His growing brood 13 children with eight confirmed mothers sparks both awe and critique, reflecting broader themes in celebrity culture.

His story prompts reflection on the pressures of stardom and the challenges of modern parenting in the public eye.

Nebraska Streets Heat Up as Rio Da Yung OG Counts a “Light Hunnid Bun” With Lane Gang Wells

Flint’s rap sensation Rio Da Yung OG has taken Nebraska by storm, reportedly spotted alongside Omaha’s own Lane Gang Wells, counting a “light hunnid bun” in a moment that’s got the streets buzzing. The sighting, filled with talk of “platinum rust” and “white gold,” hints at a potential collaboration that could shake up the rap scene. Fans are eager for details after catching wind of the duo’s chemistry, with lyrics floating around that suggest something big is brewing.

Rio Da Yung OG, fresh off his release from federal prison on December 11, 2024, is wasting no time reclaiming his spot in the rap game. The 31-year-old Flint, Michigan native, born Da’mario Donshay Horne-McCullough, served nearly four years of a five-year sentence for a firearm-related charge. Now in community confinement until July 12, 2025, he’s already dropped a new track, “RIO FREE,” and kicked off his “Welcome Home Tour” with stops across the U.S. His recent moves, including a visit to a jewelry store upon release, align with the flashy themes in the Nebraska sighting, where talk of “platinum rust” and “white gold” points to his signature flex.

Load YouTube Video

Lane Gang Wells, a rising star from Omaha, brings his own flavor to the mix. Known for tracks like “J Check” and “Mode,” Wells has made waves with his gritty style and local pride, once boasting about spending $100,000 on jewelry in a 2022 interview. His Nebraska roots make him the perfect host for Rio’s visit, and their shared love for bold chains and stacks of cash sets the stage for a natural collaboration. The phrase “light hunnid bun,” likely referring to a bundle of $100 bills, fits their lyrical focus on wealth and hustle.The lyrics circulating from the sighting—“This is platinum rust, y’all. This ain’t white gold, man”—don’t match any released tracks, suggesting they could be from an unreleased song or a casual flex caught on camera. Lines like “It might be a hundred, it might be eighty, it might not be that” hint at a playful yet confident vibe, with the duo possibly riffing about money or jewelry. While no official collaboration has been confirmed, the idea of Rio and Wells linking up has fans speculating about a track that could blend Flint’s raw energy with Omaha’s street swagger.

Rio’s recent activity shows he’s back in full force. After his release, he hopped on a private jet, hit up Wafi Jewelry, and recorded “RIO FREE,” a testament to his hustle. His tour, with stops in cities like Detroit and Los Angeles, could easily include a Nebraska date, given this sighting. Wells, meanwhile, continues to build his name, with his music available on platforms like Apple Music, where fans can hear his latest drops. The Nebraska streets are alive with talk of this moment, and if these two are cooking something up, it’s bound to be fire.

Against All Odds: Dog Missing Since Hurricane Reunites with Family After 8 Years

Against All Odds: Dog Missing Since Hurricane Reunites with Family After 8 Years

Blue, a brindle pug mix who disappeared during Hurricane Harvey in 2017, was brought home to her Corpus Christi family in July of 2025 after being found some 300 miles from home in a men’s bathroom in Waco, Texas. Through a microchip and a compassionate stranger, Blue’s stunning journey home after an eight-year disappearance has warmed hearts worldwide.

Hurricane Harvey, a Category 4 storm, devastated portions of Texas and south Louisiana in August 2017, resulting in $125 billion in damages and displacing hundreds of thousands of households with their animals. For one Corpus Christi family, 130 mph storm winds tore down their backyard fence, giving their two-year-old dog, Blue, an opening to get lost in the storm. After futile searches for months, years went by without a sighting of their beloved dog.

Fast forward to July of 2025, when a Good Samaritan discovered Blue, who was a ten-year-old at the time, alone in a bathroom at Cameron Park in Waco, about 300 miles from home. The finder was moved by the dog’s situation and took her to the Pet Circle Regional Animal Center. There, staff scanned Blue for a microchip, which revealed an still-active chip registered with her Corpus Christi family.

“This heartwarming reunion is a powerful reminder that microchips work,”

wrote the shelter in a Facebook post, citing the value of keeping contact info current. Blue’s family had diligently done so, enabling the shelter to contact them instantly.

The reunion was no less than an emotional one. Although they were contacted by the shelter, Blue’s family was hit with disbelief as well as joy. Blue’s Good Samaritan finder was so determined to get Blue home that she offered to drive halfway from Waco to Corpus Christi, a roughly 150-mile journey each way, to get Blue home as soon as possible. Photographs posted on Pet Circle’s Instagram chronicled the moment: Blue, tail wagging, in her tearful owner’s arms, a moment that went viral on social media.

“It’s been a long, grueling journey,”

posted the City of Waco on Facebook, greeting homecoming for the family.

The story of Blue is not an uncommon miracle. Other pets, like Maddie, who was reunited with her family in 2021 four years after Harvey, and Kingston, who was reunited five years after Hurricane Laura, demonstrate the long-term durability of microchips. Those stories reflect a chilling reality: when Hurricane Katrina devastated the area in 2005, an estimated 200,000 animals were lost with fewer than 5% of them ever being reunited with their caregivers. Microchipped pets, however, are 50% more likely to go home, a statistic Blue’s story so pointedly makes evident.

OnlyFans Star Woesenpai Accused of Abuse by Ex in Viral Videos

The internet is buzzing with shock and debate as OnlyFans star Woesenpai, whose real name is Alexandra Cohen, faces explosive allegations of abuse from her ex-boyfriend. The controversy erupted when her former partner, known as Rojah, shared a series of disturbing videos online, claiming they reveal her abusive behavior during their two-year relationship. With over 900,000 followers on Instagram, Woesenpai’s public image is now under intense scrutiny as the clips spread rapidly across social media platforms.

The videos paint a troubling picture, showing Woesenpai in moments of apparent distress and aggression. One clip captures her clinging to the front of Rojah’s moving car before smashing its rear window. Another shows her sitting motionless in the middle of a busy street, expressing suicidal thoughts with statements like,

“I want to die… I’m pleading my case to you because I sincerely want to die.”

Additional footage includes her ripping a TV from the wall and holding two knives while pleading to end her life, leaving viewers stunned and divided.

as he tries to manage the chaotic situations. The release of this content has ignited a firestorm of opinions online, with some condemning Woesenpai’s actions while others question the context.

In response, Woesenpai has taken to Instagram Stories to defend herself fiercely.

She insists the videos are old and edited to portray her negatively, saying,

“Please keep in mind that I’m not exposing this man’s worst moments, as he did mine. I’m defending myself with video evidence.”

She counters with serious accusations of her own, stating,

“This man abused me so many ways I sent myself to a mental facility! Yes I did get the help I needed those videos are all old.”

Woesenpai also alleges financial exploitation, claiming,

“My crash outs are valid this man has took millions from me, there’s people in this world who will never see that type of money. Not only that but he’s taking money from my daughter as well. If you validate this type of behavior your opinion does not matter to me.”

She further warns,

“The fact that you all are listening to the orders of a man who has 25 counts of fraud on his record is insane. This man will take your money and laugh in your face.”

The feud has spilled into their private messages, which Woesenpai shared as evidence.

In one exchange, she writes,

“I just want my money,”

and later,

“I swear to god I will kill myself,”

while Rojah responds with,

“lol”

and

“I need all of my money rojah. The 30k I need it all back.”

The conversation escalates with Woesenpai saying,

“I’m going to do it. I can’t live like this anymore,”

and Rojah retorting,

“You really so fucking flaw. I hate you with my whole soul.”

These heated texts highlight the deep rift between them.

Florida Man Arrested for Drunk Driving a Lawnmower on Busy Highway

A Florida man’s bizarre ride on a lawnmower down the side of a busy highway, allegedly under the influence of alcohol, landed him in jail and another chapter in the state’s absurd crime novel. It was on July 18, 2025, around 8:30 a.m., that Christopher Spain, 38, was taken into custody by the Florida Highway Patrol for operating a Gravely Pro Turn 252 riding lawnmower DUI southbound on Suncoast Parkway near U.S. 98. Everyone is buzzing with this puzzling incident. It comes with a stern warning of the grave risks involved with driving DUI, no matter the machine.

Troopers pulled Spain over after spotting him swerving on the highway’s shoulder, a dangerous stunt on a major toll road. Officers quickly noted telltale signs of impairment: pinpoint pupils, flushed cheeks, dry mouth, and constant sniffling. A small blue straw found in his possession hinted at possible drug use, though no substance was confirmed. When asked to perform field sobriety tests, Spain flat-out refused, growing uncooperative after multiple requests. That defiance led to his arrest on DUI charges.

Booked into Hernando County Jail, Spain also declined to provide a urine sample, a move that could trigger further penalties under Florida’s implied consent laws. By that afternoon, he walked free after posting a $500 bond. In Florida, even a riding lawnmower counts as a vehicle under DUI laws when driven on public roads, making Spain’s escapade a clear violation, despite its oddity.

This isn’t Florida’s first brush with lawnmower-related DUIs. A similar case in Marion County back in 2020 involved another man arrested for the same offense, proving these incidents are less rare than you’d think. Spain’s stunt highlights a broader issue: impaired driving, even on a sluggish lawnmower, poses real dangers on busy highways like the Suncoast Parkway.

Dangerous ‘Door Kick Challenge’ Spreads in Florida as Teens Use Airsoft Guns

“That’s a good way to end up dead, especially in Florida,”

Warns Sheriff Mike Chitwood.

A viral TikTok trend known as the “Door Kick Challenge” is causing serious concern — not just for parents. Law enforcement officials across Florida are sounding the alarm, warning that what some teens think is a harmless prank could lead to felony charges, violent confrontations, or worse — a fatal encounter with an armed homeowner.

Here’s what’s happening: teens film themselves sprinting up to a stranger’s home, kicking the front door — often hard enough to splinter the frame — and sometimes even firing a realistic-looking airsoft gun before running away. It’s all in pursuit of online clout, but authorities say the consequences are real.

Florida authorities are warning families about the disturbing social media trend after a group of teens was caught on camera terrorizing a quiet neighborhood as part of the so-called “door kick challenge.”

According to the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office, five juveniles were seen walking through a residential area in Riverview when two approached a home—one wearing a ski mask. That individual then kicked the front door and fired an airsoft gun before fleeing the scene with the others.

The incident, captured on home surveillance and later released by the sheriff’s office, shows the masked teen forcefully kicking the door multiple times, pointing what appeared to be a firearm, and sprinting off. Fortunately, no one inside the home was injured, but law enforcement officials say the outcome could’ve been far worse.

“This is a prank circulating on social media. #teamHCSO is asking parents to speak to their children about this dangerous trend, which could end in tragedy,”

The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office wrote in a Facebook post, urging community awareness.

airsoft gun prank trend among Florida teens — photo- Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office

The challenge first appeared on TikTok in 2021, often set to Kesha’s “Die Young.” At the time, it was mostly college kids pranking their dorm mates. But now? It’s moved far beyond campus.

By mid-2023, things had escalated. Videos showed teens in ski masks mimicking home invasions, some wielding fake firearms that look all too real in low light. In Florida — a state known for its high rate of gun ownership and “stand your ground” laws — that combination is a recipe for disaster.

Florida is quickly becoming the epicenter of the trend’s most extreme versions. Some recent — and frightening — examples:

July 18, 2025 – Riverview, FL: Five teens were caught on camera roaming a quiet neighborhood. One wore a ski mask, kicked a door, and fired an airsoft rifle before running off. Police say felony charges are likely.
July 9, 2025 – DeBary, FL: A 13-year-old girl and a 15-year-old boy reportedly kicked a neighbor’s front door until it broke open. Ring camera footage led to their arrest. Both were charged with felony burglary.
June 12, 2024 – Spring Hill, FL: Two 15-year-old boys were accused of kicking in four doors for TikTok. The damage knocked the doors off their hinges. They were charged and released to their parents.

Even in cases without injuries, physical and emotional damage is significant. And under Florida law, a kicked-in door can be considered felony burglary, whether or not the intruders go inside.

Florida isn’t alone. The trend has shown up in states like California, Georgia, New Jersey, and Virginia — where a tragic “ding-dong ditch” incident ended in a teen’s death after a homeowner opened fire.

Experts say it comes down to social media validation. Teens are chasing likes, shares, and the fleeting thrill of virality — often without regard for the consequences.

The legal penalties are severe. Even damage over $1,000 can lead to criminal mischief charges and up to five years in prison. Add in airsoft guns or forced entry, and teens could be facing 15 years or more.

No arrests have been announced, but police say felony charges are possible. Officials are urging parents to monitor their children’s social media activity and speak to them about the dangers of participating in viral challenges.

“This might seem like a prank, but it’s a quick way to get hurt—or worse,” one Hillsborough County deputy said. “Homeowners are on edge, and kids don’t realize just how quickly these situations can spiral out of control.”

Florida sheriffs say it plainly: a startled homeowner might reach for a gun. And even if no one gets hurt, the legal fallout can be life-altering.

“This is how kids get killed,” Sheriff Chitwood says. “All for a TikTok video.”

G Herbo Says Snipers Were Posted During Every Chicago Music Video Shoot

G Herbo Says Snipers Were Posted During Every Chicago Music Video Shoot

Chicagoan G Herbo, who was born Herbert Randall Wright III, ignited social media with a remarkable assertion:

“All of the projects in Chicago had snipers on the roof.”

Posted prolifically on sites like X and TikTok, the utterance originated from an interview in which he reminisced about the city’s since-condemned public housing projects, such as Cabrini-Green and Robert Taylor Homes. Famous for his gritty drill beats as well as his efforts in community empowerment, for example his mental health efforts for Black youth, Herbo’s words must be taken seriously, stemming from having lived his youth in proximity to Chicago’s notorious O Block.

Herbo’s case paints a scary picture: all of Chicago’s projects, from Cabrini-Green to Stateway Gardens, had rooftop-gun-bearing gang members ready to shoot police or rivals. For non-knowledgeable audiences about American public housing, this calls to mind scenes of battlefields, where trained or untrained high-rise buildings served as strategic vantage points for snipers. The accusation sounds farfetched, a city under siege with violence an everyday norm that dictated daily life, even rap song video shoots. Herbo emphasized,

“Niggas would really shoot at the police coming down there, for real,”

highlighting a militarized atmosphere.

Herbo’s words resonate because they reflect a collective memory of trauma in Chicago’s Black communities. Growing up near the projects, he witnessed gang violence and systemic neglect, themes central to his music, like the album PTSD. Oral histories from residents often describe rooftops as gang strongholds, used to control territory or deter police.

“Every project in Chicago, they had snipers on the roof,”

Herbo said, possibly using hyperbole to convey the constant threat of violence. Exaggeration in such narratives doesn’t equate to falsehood; it’s a way to process and share a community’s pain, where fear of gunfire shaped daily life.

Herbo’s claim taps into universal themes: urban poverty, systemic inequality, and communities left to fend for themselves. Chicago’s projects, built to house the poor, became symbols of failure, plagued by gang control and disinvestment. By the 1990s, 11 of the U.S.’s 15 poorest census tracts were Chicago housing projects. This story echoes globally in neglected urban areas, from Rio’s favelas to London’s council estates, where communities craft their own truths amid violence and abandonment. Herbo’s music amplifies these voices, making his claim a cultural touchstone.

G Herbo’s assertion about Chicago project rooftop shooters blends lived experiences with drama. While instances of the 1970 and 1992 Cabrini-Green shootings prove rooftop violence, this argument of each project having a sniper takes us beyond historical evidence.
