DaBaby Says He Has “Top 5 Hottest” Flows In The Game

It’s been nearly two years since DaBaby’s reign in the rap game began. Songs like “Suge” and “Baby On Baby” helped him become one of the hottest in the game but its songs like “Rockstar” that solidified that position. Despite being one of the most sought after rappers in the game, many have criticized his flow and how predictable it’s become. It’s a running joke that he’s even acknowledged at one point in time.

DaBaby took to Twitter over the weekend where he was called out by a fan who told him he “better switch your flow.” DaBaby quickly pointed out that the individual tweeting him makes custom Pokémon cards with rappers on it, telling him, “Better switch yo life and quit playing with them pussy ass Pokémon cards.” And while the individual clearly felt some type of way that DaBaby referred to him as a “pussy” for making Pokémon cards, the rapper still had some things to get off his chest.

“Y’all know dis flow Top 5 hottest in the game right now right ?” He reminded fans immediately afterward. “Y’all know this flow got Baby more dollars than instagram followers right?” he added.

DaBaby’s spree of tweets began with his flow, though he started reflecting on his rise to fame, and the rumors that followed. In the past year, he’s found himself at the center of plenty of controversies surrounding his love life, lawsuits, and more. Though he insists that he doesn’t care about these false narratives that have followed him, he did acknowledge that he probably should.

“Past year I done sat back and let the internet think what they wanna think… mfs think I’m single, married, taken, a liar, cheater, fighter, killer, dealer, real nigga, lame, trap rapper, pop star, rockstar. I’ll let a MF think whatever,” he tweeted. Check his tweets below.

Snoop Dogg Wants To Pay Someone $10,000 A Month To Eat Ice Cream

Snoop Dogg has had a lot of job titles over the years, but “official ice cream taster” wasn’t one of them until now — and he’s hiring someone else to fill it. His company Dr. Bombay just opened applications for the role, and it pays $10,000 a month.

The gig is fully remote and open to anyone on the planet, which Snoop announced himself in a video that’s exactly as laid-back as you’d expect. “I love the paper, but not the paperwork,” he said, explaining that HR firm Deel is handling the logistics while he handles, presumably, the ice cream.

The actual job is less “sit around and eat pints all day” and more part-time cultural scout. Whoever gets it will track flavor and food trends around the world, report back on what people are eating and talking about, and work directly with Dr. Bombay’s in-house flavor lead to help shape what the brand does next. It’s a three-month contractor role, and Snoop’s team says they’re actively looking outside the usual resume pile — creators and non-traditional applicants welcome.

Dr. Bombay itself leans nostalgic, with flavors like Long Beach Fruit Cart, Sticky Caramel Apple Pie, and Peanut Butter Jelly Time already sitting on shelves at Walmart and moving through DoorDash and Instacart. Somewhere out there is one very lucky applicant about to get paid five figures a month to have opinions about ice cream, and honestly, good for them.

Ronan Furlong finds renewal in the sea with latest release “Splitting The Ash”

“Splitting The Ash” opens with a distinctly Celtic riff before Ronan Furlong moves into an energetic song influenced by ideas of healing, rebirth, and spiritual renewal. The title and subject of the song are based on an ancient Irish ritual in which an ash tree is split open, giving the song a strong link to tradition, while its message is firmly rooted in the present: finding strength, renewal, and inspiration when life puts barriers in your way.

The sea is central to the track’s feeling, a symbol of challenge and regeneration. Furlong links his power to the resilience that can develop from exceeding physical boundaries. The song’s backstory lends that notion further weight, penned during a swim in the Irish Sea in January. The music’s context of creation gives it a particularly direct relationship with endurance and the willingness to push beyond discomfort.

“Splitting The Ash” ultimately feels life-affirming but never loses sight of struggle. The Celtic opening of the song gives an immediate sense of place, while its focus on renewal keeps the message open and universal. Ronan Furlong uses an old image of healing to remind us that difficult experiences can also be a source of strength, inspiration, and a renewed connection to life.
