Kevin Hart Steals The Show With Freestyle Over Kendrick Lamar’s “Squabble Up” At 2025 BET Awards

Kevin Hart showed once again why he’s one of the most entertaining figures in the industry with his lively hosting at the 2025 BET Awards on June 9. While his quick jokes and playful teasing of the crowd were impressive, it was his surprise rap performance that really wowed everyone. Taking the stage dressed in a dark grey hoodie and wearing a durag, Hart transformed into his rap persona, Chocolate Droppa. He was joined by DJ Kid Capri, who added an exciting vibe with some cool music mixing.

]Hart decided to perform a playful version of Kendrick Lamar’s song “Squabble Up,” tweaking the beat to fit the moment. Before launching into his rap, Hart humorously acknowledged Kendrick Lamar and playfully warned the audience to “buckle up” for the performance. And just like that, the crowd was in stitches. With confidence and flair, Hart delivered his rap lines with an exaggerated style that poked fun at the tough rapper image. The audience erupted in laughter, clearly enjoying every moment of his nearly two-minute act. Staying true to his comedic roots, Hart kept the atmosphere light and lively as he embraced his rapper persona while still making fun of it.

In the end, he included a touching tribute that resonated with many audience members, “Shouts out to big mama upstairs, your rent’s paid.” This heartfelt mention honored his late mother, Nancy Annie Lee, who passed away in 2007. This rap performance was just one of the standout moments from Hart’s hosting duties at the 25th BET Awards. From the opening jokes to his crowd-pleasing rap, Hart filled the night with laughter, emotion, and unforgettable experiences. While he may not be aiming for a rap career, Kevin Hart certainly knows how to own a stage and keep people entertained, proving that he’s in a class of his own.

Lil Durk Co Defendants OTF Dede and David Lindsey Seek Acquittal and New Trial

OTF Dede and David Lindsey are fighting their recent stalking convictions as the legal process in Lil Durk’s case continues to play out.

Lil Durk was facing five charges, two of them murder-for-hire related and three of them stalking related, while the two co-defendants were convicted on three counts of stalking in the same case. Durk was just cleared of all charges in that case a couple of weeks ago, but Dede and Lindsey didn’t get the same result.

The latest legal twist adds another chapter to a case that has remained tightly connected to Lil Durk’s ongoing legal troubles. Durk was acquitted in the initial murder-for-hire case, but his larger legal battle is far from over.

For Dede and Lindsey, the immediate issue is their stalking convictions and whether the court will grant either of the new requests filed. The couple’s pleas carry long prison sentences, and the pending motions are especially important for their attorneys.
The court has not ruled on the Rule 29 and Rule 33 motions, leaving the next phase of litigation uncertain.

Lil Durk, meanwhile, is set to appear in court on November 4 for a bond hearing. His trial in the VICAR case was scheduled for the next few weeks, but it is likely to be delayed.

Separate legal proceedings are now moving forward in the cases of Durk, Dede, and Lindsey, who remain active. Dede and Lindsey’s latest filings ensure that the group’s legal saga continues even after Durk’s acquittal in the original case.

Meek Mill steps back from his ongoing feud with DJ Akademiks,

Meek Mill and DJ Akademiks’ ongoing social media beef has taken another turn, with Meek seemingly getting the last word.

The two have been feuding for around a decade, and their tensions have become closely tied to the fallout from Meek’s beef with Drake. Following Akademiks taking Drake’s side in the public feud, Meek clearly didn’t want to be featured on Akademiks’ page. Since then, they have exchanged occasional messages and renewed disagreements.

The latest chapter heated up around the Lil Durk trial. Meek Mill called out Akademiks for his coverage and commentary on the case, saying he had become a bad influence on the culture.

Akademiks fired back hard, and the beef snowballed into a back and forth of threats between the two. At one point, Meek asked for Akademiks’ address, while Akademiks showed off an arsenal of machine guns and rifles. The confrontation had been really serious before apparently cooling off in recent days.

The message is the latest chapter in a long-running feud that has flared up several times over the past decade. This latest back-and-forth could be Meek’s attempt to close the door on the feud, but given the history between the two, tensions can flare up fast.
So far, it looks like Meek is putting a line under his part of the conversation. Only time will tell whether Akademiks responds.
