How a Christmas Song Almost Broke Up Award-Winning Band

Dayton’s Ludlow Creek has released their first original Christmas song, 8 years in the making.  The band almost broke up amid rehearsals for the song.

Dayton-based award-winning band Ludlow Creek has gone global with many of their recent releases, including their latest album, “Which Way is Forward.” Known for transcending boundaries and creating a unique musical experience with every song, Ludlow Creek has announced they will be releasing their first original Christmas single, “This Baby Boy.” Having been shelved for many years, the song will now see the light of day in time for Christmas 2022.

Band member Jeffrey Friend tells how the single “This Baby Boy” came together, while almost tearing the band apart: “I wrote and recorded ‘This Baby Boy’ just before Christmas 2014, with Dave and Michelle singing harmonies. Michelle fell in love with it. Every Christmas after, Michelle would play it and talk about how the world needed to hear it, too. As we worked through 2022, we planned some rehearsals for the song. After the first rehearsal, I fired off an email that should have been a real-life conversation, and it blew everything up. Things got worse. We felt like Ludlow Creek was doomed.”

He further added, “After a week of ugly emails, we finally all sat in one room filled with loving tears, and forgiveness. This is where life, love, and hope happen; together, in an ordinary place. It wasn’t long before Michelle brought us back around to ‘This Baby Boy’. We rehearsed, recorded, mixed, and mastered the song in a few short weeks.”

“This Baby Boy” drops on October 14th, 2022.

Blacc Zacc and Renni Rucci’s Relationship Drama Unfolds on Livestream Amid Cheating Allegations

HonkMagazine

Hip-hop relationships are often as intense as the music itself, and the latest fallout between Blacc Zacc and Renni Rucci has fans buzzing. During a recent livestream on Instagram, the couple’s heated confrontation erupted into accusations, heartbreak, and a dramatic breakup. The argument stems from allegations of infidelity, with Kevin Gates’ name thrown into the mix, a twist that has only intensified the controversy. “You cheat in real life, not me,” Renni Rucci fired back at Blacc Zacc, addressing his claims with unwavering conviction. The tension reportedly sparked after Gates seemingly referenced Rucci in a track.

However, Rucci insisted that the lyrics were from a song recorded years ago, dismissing the insinuations. It’s no surprise that rumors have swirled, given Renni’s collaborative history with Gates on tracks like “Hands On Ya Knees” and “Boat to Virginia.” But even as she stood her ground, the damage seemed irreversible. Blacc Zacc, however, shifted the blame beyond the music. In a pointed jab at Rucci’s reality TV career, he accused her involvement in Love & Hip-Hop of fueling their relationship issues. Yet, Rucci wasn’t having it. “Love & Hip-Hop didn’t make you cheat on me,” she clapped back, cutting through the noise with a powerful rebuttal. The tension peaked when reports surfaced claiming that Zacc ultimately kicked Rucci out of their shared home.

While the personal drama played out publicly, the court of public opinion quickly took sides. Fans flooded social media to support Rucci, condemning how she was treated. “That man is going through something that has NOTHING to do with you and is taking his hate and anger out on you!” one fan wrote, urging her to walk away. Others echoed similar sentiments, with one declaring, “A man could never speak to me this way. Ladies, the minute a man yells and calls you out your name, ABORT MISSION.” The situation between Blacc Zacc and Renni Rucci is a stark reminder of how personal turmoil can spill into the spotlight.

Bhad Bhabie’s Latest Swipe at Le Vaughn Sparks More Drama Amid Alabama Barker Feud

HonkMagazine

While Bhad Bhabie’s ongoing feud with Alabama Barker continues to dominate headlines, the rapper and OnlyFans creator has now set her sights on a new target, her boyfriend, Le Vaughn.

In a blunt and unmistakable Instagram Story, she posted a sharp message that left little room for speculation, “middle finger to my baby daddy.” The post was as direct as it gets, and while Bhad Bhabie didn’t elaborate further, the timing has certainly raised eyebrows. The two showed signs of reconciliation, especially after facing personal hardships earlier this month.

Bhad Bhabie, still recovering from the terrifying experience of an attempted home invasion at her Los Angeles estate, had Le Vaughn by her side. He rushed to support her in the aftermath of the incident, proving they were still connected despite their tumultuous relationship. Le Vaughn himself hasn’t had it easy either. Just days before their brief reunion, he was caught in a shootout at a strip club, leaving him with a bullet wound to the hand. Yet, even with the chaos surrounding them, the couple appeared to find comfort in each other.

That’s why Bhad Bhabie’s latest jab comes as such a surprise. Was this a heat-of-the-moment reaction? Or perhaps a lingering frustration finally boiling over? While fans are left speculating, it’s clear that tensions are running high. Meanwhile, her feud with Alabama Barker shows no signs of cooling down.

The two have been locked in a public spat for the past four months, exchanging barbs on social media. But with Bhad Bhabie now seemingly directing her anger toward Le Vaughn, some wonder if the strain of her feud has begun to take a toll on her relationships. Whether this is just another bump in the road or a sign of something more permanent remains to be seen.
