Rappers Lil Baby and Lil Yachty are the newest ones embroiled in a crazy social media tempest, courtesy of OnlyFans model Woesenpai. In a now viral video, there was Woesenpai claiming the two rappers banged her, and as for Lil Baby, he supposedly purchased her car just so he might have her by his side.
The 35-second video is a conversation animated with compulsive alleged messages, FaceTime screen shots, and eye-opening commitments, showing a photograph of obsession, secrecy, and libido driven by money.
Most shocking of all the accusations? That Lil Baby allegedly financed Woesenpai’s costly car payments, which he allegedly showed off as collateral for the alleged affair.
In the leaked DMs, the rapper is seen repeatedly again and again with her Porsche:
“What kind of car is that [.]. That’s the best thing you could of [.}. Porsche [.]. The Porsche is a better investment [.]. I got the down payment part.”
He captions the video with hints that indeed Baby followed up, asserting that his money was not money of speech but of action.
They’re like the man is slowly losing his hold on himself before our very eyes in real-time. The transcript has him saying he’s “25 min from your house,” he’s a “grown ass man” not playin’ games twice, and really that he might wanna ask “Boat” (Lil Yachty’s nickname) over through group message so he can “confess my love.”
Other messages include announcements such as:
“Def too late my soul already attached.” “We can be friends if that’s what gotta be, but I’m telling you I’m not trying to be [just friends].”
The mix of fixation, evening pop-ups and the attraction of high payments makes the switch a Netflix thriller rather than a text message.
And then there’s Lil Yachty. While Baby steals the show with these DMs, there’s also video from Woesenpai that features the “One Night” rapper as another guy who supposedly spent the night with her. The scandal is not as obvious, but as part of her teases him so heavily, everyone’s jaw will hit the floor.
This group-chat thread, “You wanna put boat in a group message so I can confess my love?” has memes on social media now, with fans joking on how Yachty unwittingly brought strays with Baby’s supposed obsession.
It concludes with screenshots of the FaceTime calls, which from the context Woesenpai seems to have been with Baby himself. There isn’t any audio, but the screenshots themselves sufficed for creating the hype.
As predicted, the response has been enormous. There are some who believe the receipts are real among his fans, while others call cap and accuse him of seeking clout. But as one of his fans posted on X:
“Even if it isn’t true, Baby must be worried that so many people actually do believe it.”
While Yachty’s fans are rallying around him in jest, with one of them stating:
“Bro just keeping his pizza rolls and rapping on Minnesota, why he in this situation?”
As of now, Lil Yachty and Lil Baby have not made any comments on the allegations. But if there is anything history has taught us, it’s that the memes will precede the comments.

During a three-hour-long Cabinet meeting before the White House press pool on Tuesday, President Donald Trump gabbed about a flurry of topics, railing against Democrats about crime in inner cities, among other policy issues.
Touting his declared crime emergency response in Washington, D.C., and his threat to send the National Guard to majority-Black cities, Trump again called out Democratic Maryland Governor Wes Moore, who in recent days has sharply criticized Trump’s signaling that he would send troops on the ground in Baltimore. Moore also invited Trump to join him on a walking tour of the Maryland city, to which the president scoffed.
“First, you’ve got to clean up your crime. I’m not walking in Baltimore right now. Baltimore is a hellhole,” Trump said at the White House as he sat along the roundtable with cabinet members.
Baltimore recently touted a 50-year low in homicides and sharp declines in various categories of crime, including non-fatal shootings and theft.
Trump also repeated a false, yet revised version, of a story he told reporters on Monday about an encounter with Moore at last year’s Army-Navy football game.
“I met this gentleman. I never met him before. [He said], ‘Sir, you’re doing a great job. You’re doing an unbelievable job. Thank you very much,” Trump claimed.
The day before, Trump said of his brief meeting with Governor Moore: “He came over to me, hugged me, shook my hand. You were there. He said, So you’re the greatest president of my lifetime. I said, but it’s really nice that you say that. I’d love you to say it publicly, but I don’t think you can do that, so it’s OK.”
When asked to respond to Trump’s claim on Monday, David Turner, communications director to Governor Wes Moore, told theGrio, “There’s video of this, so we have no idea what he is talking about.”
Moore later told WBAL Radio that Trump described an “imaginary conversation” that “never happened.” As it turns out, the Maryland governor was right.
According to footage of the brief 2024 encounter re-aired by Fox News, Moore warmly welcomed Trump to Maryland and said he was “very anxious to be able to work closely with you,” highlighting the importance of ensuring federal cost share for rebuilding the Francis Scott Key Bridge. There was no mention of Moore calling Trump “the greatest president of my lifetime” or “you’re doing an unbelievable job” (it’s also worth noting that Trump was not yet inaugurated as president at the time of the encounter).
“That is unhinged, deranged behavior. We need a cognitive exam on the president, because he is clearly not all there,” political analyst Reecie Colbert said of Trump’s lies about Moore.
Democratic strategist Antjuan Seawright said it would not be the first time that Trump has “lied on or attempted to have a public attention moment, if you will, about a Black man.” He told theGrio, “He started his career with the same sentiment around President [Barack] Obama.”
When referring to Moore, Trump has repeatedly mentioned that Maryland’s first Black governor is a rumored 2028 presidential candidate, and has argued Moore isn’t presidential material.
Colbert said, “It shows that Governor Moore is getting under [Trump’s] skin,” adding, “nobody triggers Trump more than powerful Black people.”
Trump makes bizarre statements about being a dictator
President Trump somehow pivoted his critiques about Moore and other Democratic leaders he thinks are mishandling crime in America’s urban cities to bizarre comments about being a dictator.
“But then he goes on television and says, ‘Oh, Trump is a dictator. He’s a dictator,’” Trump said of Wes Moore. Referring to his military occupation of D.C. and commandeering D.C.’s local police, he continued, “So the line is that I’m a dictator, but I stop crime. So a lot of people say…’If that’s the case, I’d rather have a dictator.’”
Though Trump clarified, “I’m not a dictator,” and wants to “stop crime,” Colbert said Trump’s “story about crime” allows him to fulfill his “authoritarian impulses.”
Seawright, who advises national Democrats and campaigns, said it’s no coincidence that Trump is seemingly making a case for dictatorship as he talked about the issue of crime. He told theGrio, “Dictator-like behavior comes with this idea of governing from a perspective of fear, dysfunction, frustration, and uncertainty.”
The Democratic strategist explained that Trump has a pattern when he is politically vulnerable, telling theGrio, “Donald Trump has a few legs to the stool that he sits on in times of crisis for him.” He suggested that Trump is trying to distract from the controversy he faced from his base of supporters about the release of the FBI files related to Jeffrey Epstein and his “piss poor effort to deliver on the promises” to bring down the cost of living.
Seawright said that “stool” includes three legs: crime/law enforcement, immigration, and racism.
“Not only is it a form of retribution to some degree, to those who hold him accountable, but it’s also political rehab,” he told theGrio. “He knows if he leans in, then it’s going to give him political rehabilitation with his base.”

Finally, Quinton “Rampage” Jackson opened up regarding the disappointing fight of his son Raja vs professional wrestling veteran Syko Stu that trended on social media. The MMA great livestreamed last weekend, and not at all shy of the issue, he discussed it directly from the heart, genuine and unbridled, and clearly torn between fatherhood and the public eye.
“It is difficult for me this weekend to discuss it,” Rampage said, plainly irritated. “I feel bad anything did occur with Psycho Stu. I do not condone the conduct of my son at all. Very unfortunate.”
The UFC legend said that if he had been there, perhaps all of this could have been prevented. But he wasn’t, and he now gets the cold harsh reality of his son’s actions. “You’re proud of your kids sometimes, not proud of them sometimes. You’re still the dad at the end of the day,” he summarized the impossible situation he now finds himself in.
It hurt Rampage more that there had been the fight at all, and more that the web had misrepresented it. “I see many others cutting idiot siht for click bait… promulgating lies that aren’t even close to correct, for cash,” he shook his head at the circus.
But he was not only outraged at the clout hunters. He criticized the racism circulating in the commentary on the event. “A lot of racist people showing their colors,” he said. “It’s not right. It’s crazy.”
A Surprising Olive Branch In spite of all that, Rampage wasn’t simply attacking or irritable. He had a lot more to say than you would have anticipated, saying he would indeed want to dine with Syko Stu one day. “Hopefully one day I can meet him. Shake his hand. Have a man-to-man with him,” he said.
It was a rare moment of candour and vulnerability for a fighter who preferred knocking guys out as opposed to exposing himself.
Once the livestream concluded, Rampage breathed heavily as if drained from the burden of it all. “Whatever I say, there are gonna be haters and they are gonna spin my message,” he confessed. “I said it myself, I didn’t go. I learned at the same rate as everyone else.”
It comes down to this: he doesn’t like the way Raja does things, but he won’t stop from being his dad. As much as the world of the web wants to spin its yarns, Rampage needs to deal with far greater adversity than any foe he has ever known, how to father with the world keeping its eyes.

Issa Rae is back with a new book that gives a candid look at some of the lessons she’s learned thus far in her career in Hollywood.
On Tuesday, Aug. 26, the 40-year-old writer and producer released “I Should Be Smarter By Now,” a collection of six essays chronicling her career highs and lows, including how a risky move nearly left her flat broke.
“My impulsivity, the character trait I’ve benefited from and paid dearly for, is both a gift and a curse,” the “Insecure” alum wrote, per US Weekly. “The gift is that I can be fearless in the pursuit of anything I want to achieve. If I want something, I’m going to be active and go after it. The curse is, of course, that I don’t properly think through the consequences of my actions.”
The best example of how her impulsivity, combined with her being a self-described “underthinker,” has led to learning experiences she could recall almost cost her “every single dollar” she had ever made in her life.
The “Little” star recalled how, in 2014, when she and ColorCreative partner Deniese Davis first launched the company, they did so by attempting to produce three TV pilots without secured funding. Rae reached out to a “rich ex” who initially promised to invest a third of what they needed. However, the two ended up fighting, leading the ex to ultimately leave them high and dry.
“The real mistake was not pulling the plug when I knew I didn’t have the money and that all of the costs would be falling on me,” wrote the “Barbie” actress.
She needed $150,000 and had roughly half of that at the time, thanks to her advance for her first book, “Adventures of an Awkward Black Girl.”
She added, “Most of it was in my savings — it was all the money I had ever made in my life up until that point.”
In the end, Rae and Davis managed to shoot all three pilots with Rae as the main financial backer; however, they didn’t find homes for them.
Although the gamble may not have yielded immediate success, it laid the groundwork for ColorCreative to grow and for Rae to refine her business instincts.
Alongside that story, the Emmy nominee delves into topics such as creativity, collaboration, and resilience in essays titled “The Business of Being Me,” “Playing Well with Others,” “The Geography of Creativity,” “I See You Seeing Me,” “The Art of Strategic Procrastination,” and “I Almost Know What I’m Doing.” Rae describes the collection, released in partnership with Amazon Prime and Audible, as a way of sharing the messy, unpolished truth behind her success.
“This collection is part confession, part reflection and part ‘here’s what I wish I’d known,’” Rae told People magazine in June ahead of the release. “But mostly it’s just me being honest about the weird, wonderful journey from having big dreams to making them a reality.”
In a post announcing the release on Instagram, Rae wrote, “My new book, “I Should Be Smarter By Now” is officially out today! If you’re dreaming about OR in the midst of building something — I wrote these stories for you.”
She also announced that she will embark on a six-city book tour, starting Sept. 8 in Philadelphia and stopping in Atlanta, Washington, D.C., Dallas, Chicago, and Detroit.

As a Black man who grew up fantasizing on panels of manga and seasons of survival show episodes, I will only say this here: Netflix low-key chucked the gauntlet when they dropped the Alice in Borderland Season 3 trailer. Whereas Seasons 1 and 2 kept me walking back and forth in my living room like I was playing the Spades of the Ace of Swords game, Season 3 is coming to take my edges, my sanity, and my Netflix subscription from me again.
September 25 is marked in red ink in my calendar, because Arisu and Usagi are together again at last, but only to pull each other out of the other’s hands like an anime tradition of ripping out hearts. Usagi’s kidnapped and dragged back to Borderland and left out in the cold by a creepy professor who’s obviously missed his therapy appointments, and Arisu’s doing what he does best: he’s going to risk everything to save her. But this time, here’s the thing: they’re not even playing together. Each of them is teamed up with new characters, new betrayals, and new carnage.
As Kento Yamazaki (Arisu) so eloquently expressed, the distance is “different atmospheres and character dynamics,” aka actor lingo for: do not distance yourselves from one another, someone’s gonna receive an L. Tao Tsuchiya (Usagi) meanwhile took out her trauma kit and re-watched Seasons 1 and 2. Sis essentially said, I’m gonna be suffering again so y’all can suffer along with me.
Let’s discuss these games because whew, they aren’t holding back anything this time. Yamazaki was losing his mind over an shrine clip of blazing arrows raining down like a lunatic on Apollo himself. If you’ve ever read Haro Aso’s manga, believe me when you say that moment is the stuff of legend. When they do it with the Japanese VFX team, it’s going to get crazy. “Rewind five times just to catch a breath” levels of crazy.
And then there’s that dice game that they’re causing such a ruckus over in the trailer. Tsuchiya hyped it up as that point of madness that pushes everyone crazy. Seeing grown-ups roll rainbow dice and running away from trouble? That’s the zany casino vibes for me.
The Joker card is looming on the horizon, and if you are a Borderland lore veteran, that is the ultimate proving grounds waiting. This ain’t kiddie play, this is mind games with glittering dice and flaming skies.
They release the main promo and it’s stunning. Arisu and Usagi are hunched together in the middle, the Joker card grinning like the devil at their shoulders. There’s a swirling black hole whirlpool at their feet that’s hissing essentially “don’t get too comfy.” Casting an aura of apprehension around them, the rest of the cast is strained, panicky, or simply deadly. Banda’s dark energy alone could fuel an entire season.
This is no ordinary poster. This is an elegant invitation to trauma.
Now, I’m a Survival Horror addict like everyone else, but Alice in Borderland never cut deeper for the sake of it. Those games were increasingly about stripping you down to yourself when the world ceases to make sense anymore. Arisu’s stubborn effort to save Usagi, Usagi’s strength and PTSD, every new character with issues of his own, that’s why the show works. It’s not who lives and who doesn’t, it’s why in the first place.
Season 3 will make that question harder than ever before. Can one remain human when death is just around every turn of a dice? Do you lose yourself completely?

Snoop Dogg was shocked to see LGBTQ representation in Pixar’s children’s film “Lightyear.” However, media personality and LGBTQ advocate TS Madision recently questioned the root of the rapper’s strong reaction.
“Snoop Dogg has historically been an advocate against censoring, and his fame is based on expression,” Madison told TMZ hosts on Monday. “So my question is, Snoop. You have music videos with women dancing and kissing other women, dancing naked. So why is displaying lesbian behavior in your music videos appropriate? And you are afraid to answer the questions from your grandchildren?”
Earlier this week, the California rapper recalled how the appearance of a same-sex relationship between character Alisha Hawthorne and her wife, in the 2022 “Toy Story” spinoff, inspired some awkward questions for his grandson.
“They’re like, ‘She had a baby — with another woman,’” the rapper recalled in a recent podcast appearance. “Well, my grandson, in the middle of the movie is like, ‘Papa Snoop? How she have a baby with a woman? She’s a woman!’”
“It fucked me up,” Snoop said. “I’m like, scared to go to the movies. Y’all throwing me in the middle of shit that I don’t have an answer for… It threw me for a loop. I’m like, ‘What part of the movie was this?’ These are kids. We have to show that at this age? They’re going to ask questions. I don’t have the answer,” he added.
While Madison acknowledges that the rapper’s music videos may have been geared towards adults, she emphasizes that kids see everything. Therefore, the responsibility of educating these babies falls on the parents, grandparents, and uncles.
“As a parent, you should also explain to your children that other things exist in the world outside of what you have deemed normal in your own home..” she added.
“It’s rooted in a bit of homophobia because you’re never afraid to talk to your kids about having a little boyfriend or a little girlfriend at a certain age,” she continued. “I know that we’ve been conditioned to be able to, like, understand heteronormative activity. We’ve been conditioned because that’s all we see. We’ve always, as queer people, been pushed to the side and swept under. So it is time for us to have these uncomfortable conversations.”
