Megan Thee Stallion’s BFF Kelsey Denies Rumors That She’s Responsible For Shooting

The twists and turns of this Megan Thee Stallion and Tory Lanez drama have taken the public for a wild ride. We’ve witnessed the ongoing developments in the case involving the two music stars that have divided the industry as opinions have permeated pop culture. Some believe that Megan Thee Stallion isn’t being truthful about what occurred or have accused her of being the instigator, while others have denounced Tory Lanez for allegedly shooting a woman as she was walking away from him.

Tory has denied that accusations that he’s responsible for injuring the Houston rapper, but he still has been hit with a series of charges that could land him in prison for a number of years if convicted. He’s been ordered to stay away from Megan as the case builds behind the scenes, but another relationship that has stolen attention is that of Megan Thee Stallion and her best friend, Kelsey Nicole.

Kelsey has been called out quite a few times in the last few months about her role in the shooting incident, but she’s remained relatively silent as it pertains to sharing her account of the events. Recently, another one of Megan’s friends penned a lengthy social media post slamming Kelsey Nicole for not speaking up for Megan during these accusatory times, but Kelsey reassured the world that when she’s ready, she’ll share her side of the story.

An audio clip has circulated online that is allegedly Tory Lanez’s bodyguard speaking about the incident, however, that hasn’t been substantiated. In the audio, the man claimed that Kelsey was the person who shot Megan, not Tory. The rumors have run rampant, and someone brought that up to Kelsey on Instagram. She said there was no truth to the gossip.

“That’s cap,” she wrote. “I ain’t do nothing but the right thing that night . What any friend would do.” That’s all the information Kelsey is willing to share at this time, so inquiring minds continue to wait to hear everyone’s account of the infamous evening.

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.
