“Lil Tjay has not been shot, nor has Lil Tjay been charged with any shooting. Any reporting to the contrary is false. We encourage people to consult trusted news sources, and to verify the accuracy of any reporting, before reflexively sharing or repeating baseless rumors.”

Offset was shot last night outside of the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, FL. according to reports.

Officials are saying that the altercation happened in the valet area around 7pm Monday night. He was taken to the hospital but his injuries are considered not life-threatening and he is said to be in stable condition.

While it's really early to determine exactly what led to the shooting, it seems that there was a fight prior. When all was said and done, 2 people were detained. One of those people is rapper Lil Tjay. He was booked and then charged with misdemeanor disorderly conduct-affray. The 2nd person was not charged.

As for who was actually responsible for the shooting, that has yet to be determined.

We already saw her fall off a chair when she was in Vegas and now she took a spill thanks to a trap door that's on stage. 

This time, Cardi was performing in Seattle and she had a little mishap when she steps back and falls into an open "hole" that was directly behind her. Thankfully, again, she's totally fine. Maybe a little embarrassed, but just fine. You can see her laughing the fall off in the video.

Seems like a very good thing that she has all that padding to fall back on **wink wink**

During her song 'Thotiana" Cardi fell backwards but landed pretty softly. She kept right on performing, didn't miss a single lyric and even joked after she got up saying "That was the government". 

Check out the video here -

J. Cole dropped the info on the hip hop world earlier today with the announcement of his release date, which we now know is February 6th! That's right, just a little over 3 weeks away. 

How did Cole let us all know? He dropped a post on his IG, that's how. You can actually check it out right here -

Cardi has the internet rollin' with this video. She wants all men to know that if you care about your "image" then you should learn how to properly eat a banana. 

It's Cardi so you know the language is a little R rated but I think you need to watch this.

EsDeeKid has yet to reveal his actual identity and always wears a mask and hoodie every time he's seen. 

Do I think that it's Chalamet? Yeah, I do. However, Chalamet is yet to confirm or deny that it's him.

In an attempt to put those rumors to bed, Chalamet and EsDeeKid with the two being seen together in a new video drop. Keep in mind that just because they're seen in the video together, that doesn't mean anything. Between A.I. and the fact that it's not hard to have someone else play the part of EsDeeKid, this really doesn't clear anything up. Although, after hearing Chalamet spit some bars, it turns out he's a pretty decent rapper (without the mask and hoodie).

Oh sure, those are typically the shoes that people wear to run errands or just kick it at home but Jack decided that they can also be worn to a Red Carpet event. In his defense here, the premiere was in NYC on Tuesday night where the temps were down near 30 degrees so it could've been a choice of function over fashion in this case.

How are you feeling about the choice that Jack made?

First of all, Dirty Bats is a "super group" made up of Slash, Duff McKagan (both of Guns n' Roses) and Chad Smith (Red Hot Chili Peppers). Now that we know that, let's get into the surprise guest that took the stage with them. That would be Bruno Mars, along with a bunch of others, but we're going to focus on Bruno Mars.

Bruno took the stage and shocked everyone when he and the band covered "Smells Like Teen Spirit" by Nirvana.

We got to The MVP Arena about 45 minutes or so before the game started so we grabbed a bite to eat at one of the concession stands and made our way down to our seats. While we were sitting there, one of the students that works for the "production team" came over and asked if I would like to take part in one of the games that they play during the time-outs. I asked what my options were and when I was told that I could play for "free beer for a year" I was sold. All I had to do was make a layup, a free-throw and two 3 pointers in the allotted :30 (it ended up being around :45 but who's keeping track?)

With about 12 minutes left in the 2nd half, I made my way over to where they told me to go and waited for my chance to get on the court and play the game. The time finally came and out I walked onto the court. The rest is all captured on video. 

The alleged booze is believed to be made of Fanta, apples, and sugar and left for several weeks to ferment. 

While TMZ is standing firm on the story, Diddy's team says that it never actually happened. They posted, and then deleted, a post on his X account stating - 

“The rumors claiming Mr. Combs was caught with alcohol are completely false. His only focus is becoming the best version of himself and returning to his family.”

There has also been a statement released by Juda Engelmayer, the family's spokesperson saying - 

“Mr. Combs is in his first week at FCI Fort Dix and is focused on adjusting, working on himself, and doing better each day. As with any high-profile individual in a new environment, there will be many rumors and exaggerated stories throughout his time there — most of them untrue.”

Engelmayer added - 

“We ask that people give him the benefit of the doubt, the privacy to focus on his personal growth with grace and purpose.”

Officials from the prison have said that they have no information of the alleged incedent.

Luckily for you, The Palace Theater in Albany has all of that covered for you! Their annual trick or treating event starts at 4pm and will be open to the public until 7pm on Halloween. So get the kids in their costume, maybe you throw one on too, and get to The Palace for music, treats, scares, fun activities and more!

Seriously, who doesn't love Stewart's? You'd be hard pressed to find someone in the 518 that isn't a fan.

Now, we know that there are a lot of hardcore Stewy's fans but I don't think they get any bigger than Jackson Simpson. Why do I say that? Well, he took the song "Teach Me How To Dougie" and flipped it to "Take Me Down To Stewy's" and shows massive love to the Capital Region staple!

C'mon now

"Take me down to Stewy's cuz I need something to eat. Take me down to Stewy's put $20 on pump 3. Take me down to Stewy's cuz I need a lil ice cream. Go home, go to sleep and have a nice dream"

Dude even shot an entire video for the song. Check it out!

Now he's pulling up to the JAMZ 96.3 studio to chat with H.B. Monte and D. Scott with his dude Harmony Samuels aka "H. Money". Harmony, by the way is a Grammy nominated and multi-platinum producer and song writer who's worked with Janet Jackson, Ariana Grande, and Beyonce, just to name a few!

Let's check out what the two have in the works on the latest edition of "The Pull Up"

Kev is 1/2 of the amazing hip hop violin duo "Black Violin" and will be at The Palace Theater in Albany this upcoming Sunday, October 5th. The show starts at 7pm and you can get tickets at PalaceAlbany.org

From The Apollo to The Grammy nominations, the touring, meeting President Obama and more. Let's get to know a little more about Black Violin!

Rocki Irish Mayers has joined her two brothers, Rza and Riot, at home and she is absolutely adorable. 

As you can see Rihanna is already fully obsessed with Rocki but what you don't see is how thrilled A$AP Rocky is! He seems to really enjoy being a present father and has even been quoted as saying - 

"What’s really fly is raising a family, bro, and loving them. Being there."

Without further delay, here is Rihanna's brand new baby -

The "Capital Region's Funniest Comic" will kick off this upcoming Tuesday, September 9th at The Van Dyke Music Club in Schenectady at 7pm. Some of the best comics in the 518 will try to take home not only hold that title for the next year but also take home the beautiful Championship belt.

I had the chance to talk with Ryan and Bri, who are both running the show and also performing, about what you can expect. Plus how to get tickets and where the events will be taking place. Keep in mind that this is not a one night event. There will be multiple shows.

YES, there will be a new champion crowned because last years winner is not competing this year.

You can check out the interview below!

We aren't talking about simply grabbing someone by the ear and yanking on it, oh no. We're talking about putting a rubber band around two people's ears and having them lean back until the other person either leans forward in pain or the rubber band actually pulls off of the other person's ear.

I have so many questions here. How do you figure out that this is the sport you want to compete in? Where do you find someone to train you for this? How do you train for this? Are people paying to go and watch these contests? If so, why? Where do you find these contests?  Is it sort of like "Fight Club"? You know the first rule, right?

Without further delay, I proudly give you "Ear Pulling"

After the most recent upgrades that the plane has gotten, it's not worth well over $200 Million and could possibly be one of the most luxurious private jets in the World.

This thing has a private bedroom with a full bathroom in it. Not to mention the lounge that features a card table and movie theater. The lighting is insane.

The whole plane is bonkers. 

Let's let Drake show you around his "Castle in The Sky"

"What would you do if your son was at home, crying all alone on the bedroom floor cuz he's hungry...." ring a bell? Yeah, we thought so!

Well, unfortunately, their lead singer Robbie Pardlo passed away on July 17th surrounded by his friends and family in Willingboro, NJ. Pardlo was only 46 years old. His cause of death has yet to be determined. He did struggle with alcoholism after City High had broken up however, it is still unknown if that is what lead to his early passing. 

Pardlo leaves behind a wife and 2 children.

Has there been talk about JB releasing a new album? Yes. Were fans hoping for a new album? Also, yes! Did we know we were getting it today, July 11th? Not that I know of.

"Swag" features 21 brand new song from Justin and he is pretty much talking about everything on there. From his marriage to Hailey Bieber, to his issues with the paparazzi, and a whole lot more. Oh and have no fear, there are plenty of features on the new album as well. Justin teamed up with Sexyy Red, Lil B, Gunna, Cash Cobain, Druski and 2 Chainz!

Here's "Sweet Spot" which features Sexyy Red - 

This is "Way It Is" featuring Gunna - 

Here's "Swag" which features Cash Cobain - 

The legendary LL COOL J was kind enough to take some time out of his day to "pull up" with D. Scott and HB Monte to chat about, not only, Rock The Bells Fest but also his career, what he would tell his younger self, give us his Top 5 in 25 and so much more.

LL is as cool as you would think he is. 

Check out our latest episode of The Pull Up, featuring LL COOL J, below.

Mel Brooks made the announcement earlier today that YES we are finally getting "Spaceballs 2" in 2027.

Rumor is that Rick Moranis is coming out of retirement to reprise his role as "Dark Helmet", Bill Pullman will return as it looks like Josh Gad will not only star in the movie but will also have a hand in writing the script. I'm curious if he'll play some version of "Barf" which was originally played by the late John Candy.

It's been 4 decades in the works but it looks like we're finally getting a sequel to one of the most iconic movies of my childhood and I'm beyond excited!

Here's the announcement that came earlier - 

One of those rumors was that Sean "Diddy" Combs tried to unalive him.

Where that rumor came from? Other than it was one of the crazy theories that came about on the internet, we aren't really sure. 

Well, Jamie Foxx is now trying to put that all to rest.

“No, Puffy didn’t try to kill me,”

Oddly enough though, that wasn't the rumor that really had Foxx scratching his head. The rumor that did that was the one about him being cloned - 

“When they said I was a clone, that made me flip. I’m sitting in the hospital bed, like, ‘These [people] are trying to clone me.’ And then I saw me walk into my room, but I’m white, so I see the white me. The next morning, I said, ‘I know what’s up, you’re trying to clone me and make me white so I’ll sell better overseas.'”

Either way, we are officially putting to rest the rumor that Diddy has anything to do with Jamie Foxx's medical situation.

There seems to be a rumor floating around the internet that Cardi B turned down an offer to work with Doecii. While neither side has commented on the situation at this point, there is someone on X saying that this happened.

Cardi B just recently declined a collaboration request from Doechii.

Cardi told Doechii that she’s not big enough to collaborate with big artists.

Cardi later added: I don’t work with industry plants. This deeply saddened Doechii. pic.twitter.com/ms1KjBnHL0

@TheeeStarrr is also claiming that Doechii has unfollowed Cardi on Insta (let's keep in mind that we don't know if Doechii actually followed her to begin with at this point.)
