This year, Joe Budden proved to be a jack of many trades. Since entering retirement from rap, the New Jersey native has rebranded himself, turning things around with ‘The Joe Budden Podcast,’ adding visual content for fans to see and venturing off to other platforms, becoming a host on Complex News’ “Everyday Struggle.”

Recently becoming a dad again to a newborn this past week, Budden shows no signs of slowing down as he’s just announced a new concert series for creatives titled, Oh: What A Night.

Serving as a kick off to his residency at New York City’s Highline Ballroom, a home to many of his sold-out shows, Joe Budden is calling on all types of musicians, artists, dancers, comedians, and content creators to hone their crafts and show the New York City audience what they’re really made of on this magical night.

“On this one night, I just wanna highlight the creators,” Budden states in a promtional video for the forthcoming showcase on Instagram. “I wanna highlight the people that build things from nothing; whether that be comedy, whether that be art, whether that be music. There needs to be  somewhere where creators can come and own their craft. To hit that stage and perform. The essence of it all. Live music. We wanna bring all of that back. I feel there’s probably been a void in New York; and for all the amazing people that are here, we should be able to see it. So I’d like to see it.”

Those interested in being apart of the show are to contact ohwhatanightnyc@gmail.com

For general populations, tickets are $40 while VIP seating is $60. purchase your ticket over at highlineballroom.com

Megan Thee Stallion‘s lawyer, Alex Spiro, addressed the lawsuit filed by Megan Thee Stallion’s former cameraman Emilio Garcia, alleging sexual harassment and a hostile work environment. Spiro, in a statement to Page Six on Tuesday (April 23), dismissed the lawsuit as an opportunistic money grab and characterized it as an attempt to tarnish his client’s reputation.

“This is an employment claim for money — with no sexual harassment claim filed and with salacious accusations to attempt to embarrass her,” he said. “We will deal with this in court.”

The suit details an incident where Garcia allegedly found himself trapped in a moving SUV with Megan whileshe engaged in sexual activity with another woman during their time in Ibiza, Spain.

According to court documents, “The following day, STALLION inquired whether PLAINTIFF was in the SUV the previous night. PLAINTIFF confirmed that he was in the SUV. Subsequently, STALLION instructed, ‘Don’t ever discuss what you saw.’ STALLION berated and directed her fat-shaming comments towards PLAINTIFF such as ‘Fat Bitch,’ ‘Spit your food out,’ and that ‘You don’t need to be eating.’”

Garcia is seeking compensation of over six figures, Garcia’s lawsuit requests unpaid wages, overtime pay, and other benefits as per California labor laws, along with statutory penalties and punitive damages.

Saweetie took to social media Tuesday morning that her ex-boyfriend Quavo reached out to her via direct messages, following his mention of her in his latest diss track aimed at Chris Brown, titled “Over Hoes & B-tches.”

In the song, Quavo raps, “I can take a model chick and make a Saweetie, n-gga,” which Saweetie didn’t take lightly. She shared a screenshot from January 2024, showing Quavo’s message on Instagram, which she hadn’t opened. The preview read, “Damn. We used to mean af to each…” Saweetie’s caption for the screenshot humorously suggested she hopes the model Quavo compares to her.



This exchange coincided with Saweetie attending a USC game with Chris Brown.



The history between Saweetie and Quavo dates back to their relationship from 2018 to 2021, which ended amid allegations of infidelity on Quavo’s part. Chris Brown didn’t hesitate to leverage their past relationship in his own diss track, “Weakest Link,” claiming to have been involved with Saweetie while she was still with Quavo.

“You fucked my ex-ho, that’s cool, I don’t give no fuck, lil n-gga/ ‘Cause I fucked yo’ ex when you were still with her, bitch, I’m up, lil n-gga,” he rapped.

Quavo previously dated Brown’s ex-girlfriend Karrueche Tran, who filed for a restraining order against Brown after their breakup in 2017.
