“I understand Hip-Hop is like a competitive sport,” Krayzie Bone tells AllHipHop. “But so is football, and I don’t know one running back who don’t pay homage to Jim Brown, the greatest of all time.”
The incident took place at a venue called City Nightz, where Mozzy had shown up following his performance at another nearby club.

Snoop Dogg‘s youth football league—aptly called Snoop’s Youth Football League (SYFL)—is producing greatness. According to the Los Angeles Times, a 9-year-old boy named Ghalee Wadood Jr. has signed a name, image and likeness (NIL) deal with the Family 4 Life sports and entertainment agency worth six figures. But it’s business as usual for the young man. “Ain’t nothing changed,” Ghalee Wadood Sr., the boy’s father, said. “Like now, we just finished eating dinner. We’re doing an interview, we’re on the phone. Then he’ll go back in his room and play Madden and get on the phone with his boys and have a big ol’ group chat. He doesn’t really know what’s going on.” The SYFL was started in 2005 by Snoop Dogg and Wadood Sr.’s older brother, Khalil Wadood, the commissioner of the league. Wadood Sr., who periodically servces as a volunteer coach, returned this season when his son was finally old enough to play tackle football. After the deal was announced, Snoop tweeted the news (although it’s been deleted). Wadood Sr. also posted on Instagram: “Thank you to the Village and The Team. These past couple days have been what we envisioned a long time ago. Still a long way to go, but the mission will get accomplished. Couldn’t have done any of this without @lilghalee @unc_f4l @snoopdogg @westlawadu_ @bigu1 @footballvillenation @theoraclekmac1 #OurTeamvsYoTeam.” He’s also seizing the opportunity to teach his son some valuable life lessons. “There’s a lot of business going on behind this,” Wadood Sr. said. “Like, we’re getting a lot of attention for football and how good he is athletically, and that’s great. We love the attention, but it gives us a chance to start teaching the kids at a young age financial literacy, businesses and ownership.” For now, Wadood Jr. is focused on football, but his father encourages him to pursue other things. He added, “He’s just a kid and we’ll continue to let him live his life and live his dream. But we’re going to continue to push the business end, you know just thinking outside of the box because we don’t want him to put all his marbles into making it in the NFL. I’m just trying to open him up to seeing other things other than just sports.” Snoop Dogg raps about his goal to have a football league in the 2017 single “Promise U This.” He spits, “Didn’t forget where I came from, went back to the hood/Signed n####as, gave jobs and I made bail/And kept a lot of m############ from goin’ back to jail/Retail, hoe sale, OG’s won’t tell/Oh yeah they will, oh yeah they will/But I paid no mind I get back on my grind/I had a football dream to have a football league and I did that.” Oh yes he did.

Quando Rondo will reportedly remain behind bars after a judge decided more time is needed to digest the case. According to WJCL 22 News, Judge Tammy Stokes denied bond for the rapper, who was arrested on drug and gang-related charges in Georgia earlier this month. During the hearing, the rapper’s attorney argued he wasn’t a threat to the community, but Judge Stokes remained unconvinced. As for the prosecution, they not only deemed him a flight risk but also claimed he was the “leader” of the Savannah chapter of the Rolling ’60s Crips. Quando Rondo was named in a 49-count indictment that includes 18 other defendants. He was charged with two counts of conspiracy to violate Georgia’s controlled substances act, one count of participating in criminal activity in association with a street gang and one count of use of communication facility in commission of a felony involving controlled substances. Quando Rondo’s name became synonymous with King Von following the Chicago rapper’s November 2020 murder. As reported at the time, Quando Rondo and his crew were entangled in an altercation with King Von and his entourage when he was fatally shot. But Quando Rondo maintains it was self-defense. He claimed he was napping in a car outside of the Atlanta hookah lounge when he was awakened to find King Von and his crew approaching him and his associates. Footage of King Von throwing punches at Quando Rondo prior to the gunfight appeared to support the theory. Surveillance videos later showed Quando Rondo helping Lul Timm get to the hospital. Lul Timm, however, was ultimately charged with King Von’s murder. Since then, Quando Rondo seems to have a target on his back. In 2022, he and his friends were shot in Los Angeles. He survived, but his friend Lul Pap was killed.
After a quick search of Gwinnett County Jail’s public inmate records, it turns out he was released on $3700 bond the same day.
Jim Jones returned with a diss track and accompanying video aimed at Pusha T on Saturday night (June 24), just hours after teasing it online. The Diplomats rapper chose the same beat Clipse used during Pharrell Williams’ Louis Vuitton debut in Paris last week. For more than two minutes, Jones lays into King Push with lines like, “The only beef you know n###a is Arby’s or the Big Mac/When we drive through, we drive-by in the car with the big macs./That last s### you dropped was garbage take that s### back.” He also claims Pusha T is highly overrated, saying, “That s### was trash we gonna let them get a do over/They got you gassed, they must think you’re the new Hova/You a 4.0, n###a, I jumped in the new rover/Your brother still jumping on the bed, tell him ‘Move over.’” Of course, Jones wasn’t there and soon took aim at Pusha T’s fashion sense. “You be dressing kinda weird man you really need a stylist/Plus we all know what you identify with/Plus you kinda, sorta dress, n###a, you been a fly b####/And then he said I was trying to chase a feature/N###a’s a gorilla cause he got some apes in his features/All my gorillas got stones, I’ll have these apes come and meet you.” He continued, “Don’t talk about my jewels that was a cheap shot/These is all VVS’s this ain’t the cheap rock/I don’t know if you’re a rapper, I should treat you like a street opp.” The public discourse between Jim Jones and Pusha T began in April, when Jones questioned Pusha T’s inclusion in a list of 50 greatest rappers. More than two months later, Pusha T chose Williams’ fashion show to debut a new Clipse song in which he appears to sub Jones. As both rappers began to trend on Twitter, Jones shared a video of himself laughing alongside a reference to Pusha-T’s 2013 album, My Name Is My Name. “Let me know if they serious cause my name is my name #Capo,” he wrote before adding in his Instagram Stories, “Let me know when they really ready.” Apparently, Jim Jones then got to work. Listen to the track in full above.
