DMX has had a long public battle with drug addiction, and the rapper says it dates back to his teenage years.
“I was in Yonkers. This guy, ‘Ready Ron,’ he was like an older brother to me,” DMX told Talib Kweli on his People’s Party podcast.
“He would rap, and I would do the beatbox,” DMX said. “I loved this guy like an older brother.”
The pair did a robbery on his birthday and Ron returned with a celebratory blunt after the job. The veteran rapper emotionally continued, “I hit the blunt and … I was no longer focused on the money. I’ve never felt like this, it just f–ked me up. I later found out that he laced the blunt with crack. Why would you do that to a child? He knew I looked up to him. Why would you do that to somebody who looks up to you? A monster was born. I wouldn’t do that to my worst enemy. Especially to someone that you supposedly love.”
X learned quickly, “The person that I loved was a snake.”

Bianca Censori Defies Hotel Dress Code in Scandalous Style with Kanye West

Earlier this week, Bianca Censori and her husband Kanye West were spotted at the iconic Chateau Marmont for lunch. The Australian model, known for her daring fashion choices, turned heads yet again with her provocative outfit. Censori sported a tiny pair of shorts, black heels, and a revealing white bikini top, which undoubtedly caught the attention of both onlookers and the hotel staff.
Despite Chateau Marmont’s strict business casual dress code, Censori’s nearly nude appearance did not elicit any complaints from the staff. This is not the first time Censori has pushed fashion boundaries at the luxury hotel. Earlier this month, she made headlines by arriving in a thong and later in a sheer nude mini dress paired with long stockings, heels, and a tan hat, while Kanye shielded her from photographers.
As of now, Chateau Marmont has not commented on Censori’s repeated dress code violations. What do you think of Bianca Censori’s scandalous fashion statements at the Chateau Marmont? Share your thoughts in the comments and stay tuned to Honk Magazine for more updates.

Keke Palmer Defends Tyler Perry Amid Misogyny Backlash, “The Real Enemy is the System!”

In a recent episode of her podcast Baby, This is Keke Palmer, Keke Palmer hosted Tyler Perry, sparking intense discussions online. Perry’s comments, addressing long-standing criticisms that his films often depict Black women in distress, went viral. Defending his creative choices, Perry stated, “A large portion of my fans are disenfranchised. Who cannot get in the Volvo and go to therapy on the weekend. You’ve got this highbrow negro who is all up in the air with his nose up looking at everything… Don’t discount these people and say their stories don’t matter. Who are you to be able to say which Black story is important, or should be told? Get out of here with that bullsh*t.”
Perry’s remarks led to significant backlash, including accusations of misogyny. In response, Keke Palmer took to social media platform X to defend Perry. She argued that critics are misdirecting their anger. “The enemy isn’t Tyler, it’s the system that makes it hard for multiple black artists to shine at one time,” Palmer asserted. “Oppression turns you against the person that gets the shine opposed to questioning why there can only be so few at a time. Tyler is not the gatekeeper of all black stories; he’s just one creative who broke through the system. Advocating for others to do the same is the fight, not hating Tyler for his work that many do love.”
Palmer also highlighted Perry’s significant contributions to the Black community in a follow-up tweet, noting his employment of numerous Black individuals and urging followers not to “blame his movies for oppression.”
