Alicia Keys Verbally Attacked By Singer Jaguar Wright

Another day, another set of blistering insults being thrown about by Jaguar Wright. We’ve heard quite a bit from the singer over the last few months, and none of it has been related to new music from the artist. Instead, she’s hurled accusations at some of her former collaborators including The Roots, who she said were aware of R. Kelly’s alleged interactions with underage girls, and Common, who she claims sexually assaulted her many years ago. Mary J. Blige and Summer Walker have also felt Jaguar’s wrath and doesn’t look as if Wright is finished verbalizing her issues now that she’s shifted her attention to Alicia Keys.

Alicia Keys isn’t the type of artist who is known to cause controversy, but years ago there were rumors that she had an affair with Swizz Beatz while he was married to Mashonda Tifrere. That gossip has been laid to rest, but Jaguar Wright has come forward to share her version of events and why she isn’t a fan of the beloved artist.

“That woman invited you up in her house thinking that you was an artist and you was coming in to steal her husband Alicia Keys, you f*cking goofy b*tch,” Jaguar Wright said in her expletive-laced video. It’s unclear why Wright has specifically targeted Keys, but it seems as if Jaguar believes that something Keys posted was directed at her.

Then, Wright goes on to talk about a man that both she and Alicia Keys both allegedly dated who told Wright intimate details about Keys. She claims that this ex of Keys’s found her sleeping with someone else during a surprise visit and was so devastated that he stopped trusting people. Wright went on to attack Key’s marriage with scathing words about Keys only marrying and having children to mask her sexuality. It’s a lot to take in, but you can press play below and check it out for yourself.

Kanye West Joins Chicago Ceremony Honoring His Mother With Dr. Donda West Way

Kanye West was in Chicago for a street naming ceremony honoring his late mother, Dr. Donda West, and celebrating her lasting contributions to the city, her impact on education and the arts, and her influence on her son’s life.

A portion of 78th Street bears the official designation of Dr. Donda West Way, an appropriate tribute to a woman whose legacy remains deeply entangled with Chicago. Local news covered the ceremony, attended by community leaders, and Ye could be seen clapping in the background, wearing shades, as the new street sign was unveiled.

The event celebrated Donda West’s accomplishments and her impact on the people in her life. It was also a moment of profound personal significance for Kanye. His mother played a large part in building his confidence and supporting his musical ambitions, leading him down the path that would ultimately make him one of the most recognizable artists in music.

West had already paid tribute to his mother in his 2021 album Donda. The project took 10 years to complete, the amount of time it took Ye to process her tragic passing. Donda’s voice is present throughout the album, adding another personal element to a project centered on her memory and legacy.

The Chicago ceremony falls during a busy time for West. The artist is on a world tour and played a couple of shows in Chicago just a few weeks ago. Despite the ongoing controversy about his recent past and public reception, his repeated returns to the stage have underscored the enduring size of his audience.

Currently, the unveiling of Dr. Donda West Way is not about music but about celebrating Donda West’s life and accomplishments and the impact she continues to have through the legacy she left behind.

DJ Akademiks Opens the Door to Pusha T Amidst Drake Controversy

DJ Akademiks seems to be changing his tune on Pusha T after the leak of the rapper’s alleged album with Pharrell, though the project reportedly includes several direct shots at Drake.

The reaction is notable as Akademiks and Pusha T have been on completely unique sides of the long-running Drake-Pusha T divide. Pusha T’s infamous beef with Drake reached a major milestone in 2018 with the release of “The Story of Adidon.” Akademiks has an OVO chain and has been a big supporter of Drake, which makes his latest comments about Pusha T even more shocking.

The two have had their differences, though they have never gone back and forth publicly over the years. Akademiks, however, responded to the leaked project with a more sympathetic view of Pusha T’s position. Akademiks didn’t just point out the rapper’s continued Drake references; he also recognized that Drake has been beefing with Pusha T and Pharrell over the last few years.

Things got spicy when Akademiks reminded him that Pusha T has liked a couple of his posts before. That detail apparently has Akademiks considering reaching out directly to talk with Pusha T.

Does Pusha T even want that kind of conversation? Still, Akademiks’ comments imply that he believes there’s room for a more productive discourse between two personalities who have historically been on opposite sides of the Drake-Pusha T feud.

For now, the leaked album has provided an unexpected opening for dialogue. Akademiks’ openness to Pusha T’s side, even with his clear ties to Drake, shifts the conversation away from taking sides and toward whether a direct conversation could actually happen.
