Smokepurpp  and  Lil Pump  are very good friends, but something might be amiss in their friendship if we are to believe their Instagram stories. Then again, there's a high chance they're just trolling. On Friday morning (Feb. 22), Smokepurpp jumped onto his Instagram Live and claimed that he wrote all of Lil Pump's first songs. He even boasted that he penned “ Gucci Gang ,” which is the 18-year-old rapper’s biggest song to date “Man, listen. I’m not playing with you no more, nigga. I need all my royalties, man. I need all my money, nigga,” he said. “Gucci Gang that was my song, nigga. I gave you that song. I gave you your first big hit, fuck nigga.” Pump responded back on his IG Live telling Smokepurpp to stop playing with him before making reiterating his wild claim that he invented SoundCloud. He then added, "Stop fucking playing with me bro. I'm the first person to introduce you to fucking Ronny J, DJ Carnage and Travis Scott. Stop playing wi...

Last May,  Saturday Night Live  debuted a  skit  with  Childish Gambino  (aka Donald Glover), Chris Redd and Kenan Thompson parodying the Migos going through therapy to help work on their friendship. Well, real-life  Migos member  Offset  didn’t find the skit so funny, and he says Quavo and Takeoff didn't either. On the latest episode of GQ’s  Undercover  series, which premiered today (Feb. 22), Offset goes undercover and answers fans’ questions on different social media platforms. Over the course of the nine-minute episode, he revealed that the Georgia trio didn’t enjoy the  SNL  skit. “I have to be honest, we didn’t like that skit, it was like the totally opposite of the Migos,” he explained. “We rock with each other. We ain't arguing,” he continued. “And then I felt like it was interpreted like we was some dodo birds, like, let’s go against each other. We weren’t feeling that.” While Offset made it...

Offset opens up about his music, his family, and more. On the eve of his upcoming  Father  Of 4,  Offset  has opened in an  extensive Esquire feature story . Generally seen as a man of few words, it's interesting to see how candid he is in this latest interview. When speaking about his relationship with  Cardi B , he continues to play things close to the chest. "It’s been good," he says. "We’re being more open to each other, raising our baby and taking things slowly.” He also opens up about his upcoming project  Father Of 4,  which certainly looks to be an intimate examination of his story thus far. "I cried to myself while I was doing this album ’cause I was talking about my story and my kids,” he admits. "When I did a song, I started getting memories of my grandma, my struggles, my partner that was killed, the thoughts I had while I was incarcerated, and my kids’ faces were there in my head. I love my kids, this is who I do it for.” ...

Fox is considering removing  Jussie Smollett from production on “Empire.” Sources close to the production told  Variety  that producers are weighing whether to suspend the actor after he was charged Wednesday in Chicago with filing a false police report. A spokesperson for 20th Century Fox Television, which produces the series, declined to comment. Smollett’s status on the show may change amid a fluid legal situation. On Jan. 29, Smollett told police that he was attacked by two men who poured an unknown chemical on him, put a rope around his neck, and used racial and homophobic slurs. Chicago PD eventually questioned two brothers, Abel and Ola Osundairo, who were in the vicinity of the event. The two men were arrested and questioned, but later released. Local Chicago media reported that the brothers told detectives that Smollett had paid them to stage the attack. According to the Cook County State Attorney’s office, Smollett is due to appear in court for a bond hea...

Kylie Jenner  is reeling over the realization that best friend  Jordyn Woods  betrayed her friendship by hooking up with  Khloe Kardashian 's former beau,  Tristan Thompson . While news of Tristan  cheating on the mother of his child  isn't a surprise to the world, people are shocked to learn that the mistress is a close confidante of Kylie. This is perhaps most surprising to the Kardashian family, who have been close friends with the aspiring model for much of her life. However, this scandal marks the end of a friendship that spans well over a decade. A source tells E! News, "The whole family is writing Jordyn off." Cutting ties with the 21-year-old is going to be hardest for Kylie, who, according to a source, "was in denial for days." The makeup mogul "is very torn on how to handle the situation," and for good reason. Kylie fondly refers to Woods as Auntie Jordyn and reportedly lets her friend live in in her guest house.  Similarly, T...
