RIP PnB Rock:

Philly rapper PnB Rock was shot and killed while at a Roscoes Chicken and Waffles in LA. Police say it was an attempted robbery; the gunman demanded jewelry before opening fire. About 20 minutes before the shooting, PnB Rock's girlfriend posted online that she was out with her man, and some people blamed her for the death; however, some people came to her defense. Police are investigating if there is a connection.

In one of PnB Rock's final interviews, he told DJ Akademics robberies in Los Angeles are becoming too "common." Police are investigating, still looking for the suspect. Our thoughts and prayers are with PnB Rock's family, friends, and fans at this time.

In a lengthy video, Ray J exposed Kim for forging his signature on one of the contracts. In addition, according to Ray J, the narrative surrounding him and the tape has always been that he leaked it and was in possession of it, but Ray J says none of that is true. Ray J is threatening to file a defamation lawsuit against Kim after she implied he could have sexually assaulted her while she was sleeping.
