From a slew of canceled shows to losing his BoohooMan brand deal, DaBaby‘s now infamous Rolling Loud performance cost him quite a bit, he revealed in a recent interview.

DaBaby stopped by Hot97’s Ebro In The Morning show to chat about the controversial performance, revealing that he has allegedly lost $100 million because of his homophobic remarks.

“I ain’t into all of the conspiracy theories, this and that,” he said. “Until you see it really cost a n****s a $100 million within a year’s span.”

Not too long ago, the Charlotte rapper claimed that he had been “blackballed” after his latest album, Baby On Baby 2, under-performed on the charts.

During the broadcast, the rapper also spoke about the increasing tension between him and Megan Thee Stallion after having Tory Lanez — who has been in an ongoing legal battle with Megan after allegedly shooting her in the foot in 2020 — join him on stage during his performance.

When asked why he thought it would be a good idea to bring Lanez on stage, the “Bop” rapper told Darden despite popular belief, he had no malicious intent.

“I don’t look at it like good or bad. I ain’t that invested into the business,” he said. “I got a song with him that’s doing good.”

The rapper went even further, doubling down on his assertion that he slept with Megan Thee Stallion in his song “Boogeyman” and admits he has no ill feelings about the lyric.

“It’s a song that’s out right now – n****s can take it how they wanna take it. I ain’t tripping, it’s a song that’s out. You wish I’d have left it off? Ain’t nothing to feel weird about. It ain’t happen to you,” he said.

You can check out the rest of the interview above.

Megan Thee Stallion is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

Killer Mike is getting back on his solo grind lately after producing music almost primarily alongside Run The Jewels partner-in-rhyme El-P for the past ten years. Earlier this year, he returned with the fiery single “Run,” which recruited both Young Thug and Dave Chappelle, and today, he follows up with ‘Talk’n That Sh!t,” a combative and blustery track that sees him comparing himself to Pimp C, waving off presidential elections “if the president ain’t for me,” and otherwise detailing his anti-establishment philosophy.

In a statement about the song, he said, “The song is self-explanatory. With the video, I wanted to show the freedom and beauty in being able to turn up in spite of all the f*ck-sh*t. That upsets the bourgeoisie even more — in spite of all your criticisms, we’re gonna live free and stay lit.” The video also higlights such organizations as the Bass Reeves Gun Club Next Level Boys Academy, and New Georgia Project.

Mike’s recent run of solo tracks also marks the first time since 2012 he’s worked with producers outside of El-P. On “Run,” he linked up with veteran beatmaker No ID, while on “Talk’n,” he taps DJ Paul and TWhy Xclusive.

Halloween is, I imagine, an important holiday for Aubrey Plaza. It’s when April Ludgate, her character on Parks and Recreation, gives birth to her son while covered in October 31-appropriate makeup and listening to “Monster Mash” by Bobby “Boris” Pickett on her “birth mix.” Halloween also inspired the actress to dress up like a witch — that’s also a vampire? — while making the promotional rounds for season two of HBO’s The White Lotus, which she stars in. Or maybe she dresses like that all year. Neither would surprise me.

Plaza is unrecognizable in the photos below, but somehow, it couldn’t be anyone but her.

Here’s a more “traditional” witch.

Pop Sugar claims that Plaza was “on her way to the set of The View,” but I can’t find evidence that she was on The View this week (SPOOKY). She did, however, drop by The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, where she spilled the tea on her co-stars, including Jennifer Coolidge, Jersey Mike’s fanatic Danny DeVito, and Elisabeth Olsen, who “has hands instead of feet, and feet instead of hands,” according to Plaza. “Any time she meets someone she kicks them in the face. With her-feet hands.”

Wow, no wonder Wanda was so angry in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.

Earlier this week, all eyes were on Pennsylvania as senatorial candidates John Fetterman and Dr. Mehmet Oz finally faced off in their first — and what will be their only — debate. For many watchers, the main attraction was to see how Fetterman, who is recovering from a May stroke, would handle being put on the spot and in the spotlight. For others, it was a chance to see Dr. Oz turn the most innocuous comment into something totally creepy-sounding. But on Wednesday night, Trevor Noah admitted that he feels bad for Fetterman, “because he had a stroke. And on top of that, after the debate, Dr. Oz tried to sell him a supplement that would cure him for $59.99.”

Still, the portion of the debate that was of most interest to Noah was when it came to the abortion conversation, and watching Dr. Oz attempt to wriggle his way out of having to come up with any sort of definitive position. As Noah explained:

After securing the Republican nomination, Dr. Oz has been trying to distance himself from the MAGA side of the force, and reposition himself as a bipartisan voice of reason. He’s trying to scoop up all the centrist voters on Election Day. He’s basically doing that TikTok thing where you flip your hair down, and when you come up you act like you suddenly didn’t want to hang Mike Pence. But here’s the thing: Being pro-Trump and pro-reasonable is a lot harder than people think. Which was apparent when Dr. Oz had to explain his position on abortion.

The question posed to Oz was simple: “Should abortion be banned in America?”

Doc Oz’s response was not as simple: “There should not be involvement from the federal government in how states decide their abortion decisions. As a physician, I’ve been in the room when there are some difficult conversations happening. I don’t want the federal government involved with that at all. I want women, doctors, [and] local political leaders letting the democracy that’s always allowed our nation to thrive to put the best ideas forward so states can decide for themselves.”

Noah was amused by how Dr. Oz just threw “local political leaders” into the decision-making process at the very end, “like a teenager buying condoms at a gas station.” The way Noah sees it:

If you’re pro-choice, what Dr. Oz is saying is bullshit. I think we can all agree, there is only one politician who should have a say in your abortion, and that’s Herschel Walker — ’cause it’s his. It’s his! It’s probably his! Ladies, check: They’re all his.

We, as a society, are all enjoying the Jennifer Coolidge renaissance that goes hand-in-hand with one of the best shows on television: The White Lotus. Of course, Coolidge has always been cool (it’s in her name), but her Emmy-worthy performances as of late are what really sets her apart from all of the others. Not only that, but everything Coolidge says sounds like it could be the plot of a mildly-infuriating Blumhouse horror movie. It’s annoying for her, but entertaining for the fans!

The latest Coolidge anecdote features everyone’s favorite place to be: customs at an international airport! Entertainment Weekly asked the cast of The White Lotus for their vacation horror stories, much like the vacation in the first season. The actress told the story of a time when she was traveling for work in London when she was held by security: “For some reason, it wouldn’t scan right, and next thing you know customs is calling me over,” Coolidge told EW. “Next thing you know, they’ve locked me up for nine hours in this little room.”

You’d think nine hours would be enough to break somebody’s spirit, but Coolidge kept it cool (obviously). She even remained calm when they came in after hour seven to ask if she wanted a snack. “Hour seven, they came in and said, ‘Would you like noodles or chips?’ I did opt for the potato chips over the noodles. It didn’t go well after that.”

She didn’t explain how it could have possibly gotten worse than that, but at least she didn’t have to scatter her mother’s ashes out at sea. Sometimes that’s all you need for a good vacation.

Brockhampton has been teasing their final album for some time, and now, they’ve announced its title and release date. It’ll be called The Family, and it’s due on November 17 via Question Everything and RCA Records. In addition to being available on streaming, the album will also be available as a box set with a CD and one of three T-shirts.

Kevin Abstract previously trolled fans with a fake album cover and title earlier this month, joking that it would be called No Cap and the cover would feature a bald cap-sporting Kevin himself. However, it turns out he wasn’t cracking wise about the album being out before the end of the year.

While working on the album, the group delivered a a quirky cover of funk classic “Hollywood Swinging” for the Minions: The Rise Of Gru soundtrack this summer after performing their final Coachella as a group.

They first announced their split in spring of 2021, when Kevin Abstract said that the group would release two more albums before going on an “indefinite hiatus.” He later explained that while “we all love each other,” the group has “got a lot to say outside of group projects.” Both projects were delayed due to sample clearance issues, with Roadrunner, their penultimate project, arriving in April 2021 to show off their growth and begin the process of saying goodbye.

The Family will apparently complete that process on 11/17. You can pre-order it here.

Kanye West is a desperate man — and for good reason. The once-exalted rapper has spent the last several weeks spewing all sorts of deplorable bits of antisemitism to anyone who will allow it (we’re looking at you, Tucker Carlson). As a result, he has been dumped by everyone from his agents at CAA to the various fashion brands he has collaborated with, including Balenciaga and the Gap. Jeen-Yuhs, a completed documentary about Ye’s life, has been shelved by its producers, and Vogue gatekeeper Anna Wintour has reportedly severed all ties with the rapper. The biggest hit, however, came from Adidas, who dropped Ye like a bad habit — all of which has seen West’s net worth drop significantly, and push him out of the Three Comma Club.

While West is being boycotted by just about everyone, Jimmy Kimmel thinks there’s one more industry that should cancel the artist: Big Bagel. On Wednesday night, Kimmel shared that, after losing his $1.5 billion deal with Adidas, Ye was on the lookout for a replacement partner to carry on his Yeezy shoe brand. As Kimmel explained:

Today, he showed up — unannounced and uninvited — at the corporate headquarters for Skechers in Manhattan Beach. Skechers, which his ex-wife Kim [Kardashian] did commercials for, is owned by the Greenberg family, so they threw him right out and put out a statement denouncing him. Ironically — this is not a joke — before he barged into Skechers, he stopped at the bagel shop next door. He shouldn’t be allowed to eat bagels anymore, right? I mean, at the very least. Lox him up!

Selena Gomez has always been transparent with the public about her health, whether it be her lupus diagnosis and subsequent 2017 kidney transplant or testing positive for COVID-19 and missing her scheduled The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon appearance just this week. She’s turning it up a notch, if possible, with her forthcoming Apple TV+ documentary Selena Gomez: My Mind & Me.

Vanity Fair posted a snippet from the doc to TikTok this week that shows Gomez presumably grappling with the aftermath of a 2019 stay at Boston’s famed McLean Hospital that led to her bipolar diagnosis, which she publicly disclosed on Instagram Live with Miley Cyrus in April 2020.

“When I first got out, I didn’t know how I’d cope with my diagnosis,” Gomez says in the clip. “What if it happened again? What if the next time, I didn’t come back? I needed to keep learning about it. I needed to take it day by day. When I was a kid, I was terrified of thunderstorms. I grew up in Texas, and I was so scared that lightning and thunder would mean a tornado was coming. But my mom gave me these books for kids that explained storms and lightning and thunder and basically said, ‘The more you learn about it, the less you’re gonna be afraid of it.’ And it really helped.”

Apple TV+ additionally shared a 78-second clip from the doc to YouTube yesterday of Gomez meeting a childhood friend’s daughter, who gets adorably excited when she realizes she’s standing by the Selena Gomez. The girl asks her mom if Selena is real. “Yes, she’s real,” Gomez’s childhood friend says. “Mommy went to school with her. She lived right down the street from me. Mommy grew up with her.” The woman then hugs Gomez and shares she felt scared seeing Gomez go through her health issues from afar.

Watch the official My Mind & Me trailer above.

Gomez’s single “My Mind & Me” is out 11/3, and My Mind & Me will premiere on Apple TV+ on 11/4.

One question that has surrounded the New York Giants amid their surprising 6-1 start this season is what will happen with 2021 first-round draft pick Kadarius Toney. An explosive wide receiver from the University of Florida, issues remaining healthy have led to Toney struggling to get on the field, and there have been rumors that the Giants’ new front office and coaching staff could look to get something back for him — earlier this week, Darryl Slater of NJ.com noted that New York GM Joe Schoen “probably would like to be done with him.”

On Thursday afternoon, the Kansas City Chiefs decided they were going to be the team that tries to get the most out of Toney. According to multiple media reports, Kansas City will send a conditional third-round draft pick and a sixth-round pick to New York with the hopes that Toney can provide yet another option in their high-flying passing game.

Toney has not appeared in a game for the Giants since Sept. 18, as he’s struggled to overcome hamstring injuries. Dating back to last season, Toney has only played in 12 of a potential 24 games due to lingering health issues. When he has been able to play, the No. 20 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft has caught 41 balls for 420 yards and has yet to record a touchdown.

With the midterm elections less than two weeks away, Marjorie Taylor Greene made it clear what will happen if Republicans take control of the House: Revenge. During a recent appearance on Steve Bannon‘s podcast, Greene essentially threatened any company who stopped donations following the January 6 attack. Several corporations made it a point not to support anyone who voted against certifying the 2020 election or pushed Donald Trump’s “Big Lie,” and Greene wants them to know there will be a price to pay.

Via Mediaite:

“All the lobbyists, all the big corporations stopped to a whole bunch of my Republican colleagues that they used to donate to. They said, ‘Oh, no. We can’t support you because of the big lie’ or whatever they want to call it. So, I want you to know – and this is something they should all know – that’s not going to be forgotten by a whole bunch of my Republican colleagues because that was really ridiculous and wrong.”

As for what kind of revenge will be meted out by Greene and a GOP-controlled House: “investigations.” Lots and lots of investigations that obviously will grow to include Hunter Biden, library drag shows, and a laundry list of Republican grievances. While Greene has been resigned to the fringes of the party, should Republicans take the House, she’s already publicly stated that Kevin McCarthy will have to cede more power to her and her conspirators like Paul Gosar.

“And if he doesn’t, they’re going to be very unhappy about it,” Greene told New York Times Magazine correspondent Robert Draper during an interview for his new book. The lady loves her some revenge.
