DESIIGNER RISES OVER FUTURE
Freshman rapper Desiigner’s price has really gone up in the past couple weeks. From signing onto Kanye West’s G.O.O.D. Music to being featured on Ye’s TLOP.

This week his hit single “Panda” peaked at number 14 on Billboard’s Hot 100 charts, topping any Future song. The highest Future has placed on the charts is 28th.

That’s a slap in the face for Future being that Desiigner is compared to him and is often confused for being him—something Future doesn’t like.

To add insult to injury the song “Panda” has been getting major looks not only in the clubs but also on the national stage. Watch Shaq come out to the song at WWE’s Wrestlemania 32:

Let’s see what else Desiigner has to come with the announcement of a mixtape dropping soon.

Hopefully he doesn’t turn out to be a Milli Vanilli a.k.a. one-hit wonder.

T. SWIFT GIVES ‘JUMPMAN’ A JUMP
Taylor, Taylor, Taylor just boosted “Jumpman!” It’s crazy how much impact and reach one Taylor Swift can have on something.

She does boast a crazy fanbase that is international, but to think a commercial of her listening to Drake and Future’s “Jumpman” while she works out boosting the single’s sale by a staggering 431 percent is insane!

Many reports have came out stating that globally the highly popular commercial of Taylor on the treadmill has had that kind of impact.

Aside from Drake and Future benefitting from the commercial, Apple of course had major rises with their #GymFlow playlist climbing to No. 5 playlist of the week, a 325 percent rise.

If you’ve been living under a rock watch the commercial below:

DRAKE AND MEEK MILL PUT OUT NEW MUSIC
It’s no secret Drake will be releasing his highly anticipated album ‘Views From The 6’ this month.

He added a little hype this week with the release of two songs, one which feature Kanye West and Jay-Z, also known as The Throne.

Champagne Papi’s nemesis, Meek Mill also dropped two songs of his own to add to the beef in which he took some shots at Drizzy. This is becoming a trend for Meek who also did the same thing when Drake dropped “Summer Sixteen.”

Don’t be surprised if Meek Milly releases a surprise album or mixtape whenever Drake decides to release VIEWS.

NICKI ON ELLEN
Nicki Minaj went on The Ellen Show and talked about “a boy that likes her” referring to her bae, Meek Mill. She also said, “she doesn’t want to say she’s in a relationship anymore.”

While the Internet went in on the comments and misconstrued them, if you watch the video you will see she didn’t actually mean her and Meek are no longer together.

The next day she went on her IG to profess her love for the “boy” that likes her, Meek. Let’s see how long these two will last.

“I don’t wanna hear about this ever again, not even when she tell ’em that they better as friends.”

CHRIS BROWN VS. TINASHE
Chris Brown is no stranger to throwing shade on social media and he is quick to spill out his feelings about anything he doesn’t agree with.

Breezy went in on the whole Kehlani situation by slamming the bay area R&B singer for her “attempted suicide” and told her to “stop flexing for the gram,” while showing support for Kyrie Irving.

His comments lead to Zendaya, Tinashe and a few others unfollowing him on social media making Chris fire off even more.

He then commented on a Baller Alert picture and went all the way in on Tinashe or as he calls her “WHOISHAE.”

“I hope she talked about ‘HER’ career for most of this interview ‘WHOISHAE’ TINASHAE,” he wrote. “I hope they rehearsing for those performance (power 106 charity basketball game halftime show) give her credit though, 30 16 year old hobbit face ass. WE WANT MUSIC, WE WANT MUSIC, WE WANT MUSIC!! TEACH ME HOW TO JERK FACE ASS.”

It’s clear Chris has no chill and no filter. He’s a real standup guy.

L.A. CHASE LIKE NO OTHER
L.A. is notorious for crazy police chases. This week we got a show when two suspects cruised the streets of L.A. weaving thru traffic and even doing donuts in the middle of Sunset Boulevard.

Watch it below:

Here are a couple other crazy chases:

Throwing money out the window:

OJ the juice on the loose:

The Lexus that never made it to Texas:

Let me know the craziest one in the comments below.

Tracee Ellis-Ross And Regina Hall Hilariously Cover “Jumpman”

Watch Tracee Ellis-Ross get on her rapper shit while covering Drake and Future’s “Jumpman” as her alter-ego, T-Murda.

T-Murda in her glammed out nails, gold hoops, gold grill and cornrows attempts to make sense of the lyrics along with her homegirl, Regina Hall. The two even try to keep up with the tempo but unfortunately are unable of finding their tempo showing they were nothing like DJ Mustard.

After Future’s part of “chicken wings and fries we don’t go on dates/Nobu, Nobu, Nobu, Nobu,” T responds by saying, “he’s cheap, but then he’s not cheap.”

Tracee has channeled her inner rapper before having covered Travis Scott’s “Antidote” and Fetty Wap’s “Trap Queen.”

Watch the video above to see “they not just bluffing” and experience the comedy.
