This is the “Bacc Seat” rapper’s first time winning this award in this category. He joins the ranks of artists like Beyonce and Kendrick Lamar, who won in previous years.
Prior to the nominees being announced, BET revealed that although the country is experiencing a pandemic, which has forced show production to cease, they will still be holding their annual event. The award show, which is celebrating its 20th anniversary, was done virtually.
BET said in a statement back in May, “Using an array of innovative techniques and artist-generated content, the show will continue, allowing the audience to join in a celebration of black love, joy, pride and power with an all-star lineup.”
Congratulations to Roddy Ricch and everybody involved in the making of this project.

“Baby Fever” On Overdrive As Boosie Badazz Ready Plans to Expand His Family Right After Ninth Child!
Boosie Badazz, the ever-vocal Louisiana rapper, is expressing his desire to expand his family. Earlier this month, Boosie and his fiancée, Rajel Nelson, happily announced that they are expecting a baby girl, Boosie’s ninth child. They celebrated this joyous occasion with a vibrant gender reveal party surrounded by friends and family, but Boosie’s excitement for his baby’s gender hasn’t diminished his wish for a boy. He’s already thinking about the next phase of parenthood.
In a candid Instagram Live session, Boosie shared his thoughts with his followers. “Yeah, I wanted a boy,” he admitted. “I ain’t tripping I’ma to put another one in her right after that. Other people wait six weeks; I don’t wait six days. I ain’t waiting six days. I’m gone get that boy.” His confident declaration indicates that Boosie is eager to keep growing his family, much to his fans’ amusement (and surprise).
While Boosie expresses his enthusiasm, Rajel Nelson has a slightly more traditional viewpoint. During her Instagram Live session, she shared her initial desire to be married before starting a family. “I did say I would like to be a wife before I have a kid,” Nelson reflected. “But God has blessed me to have a child before I got married, and that is okay. This is my baby. I made it. So, I’m just going to, you know, lay in my bed with it.”
Despite the whirlwind of baby discussions, Nelson remains grounded, particularly regarding public perception. She quickly dismissed critics who label her a “gold digger,” asserting that she is financially independent and does not rely on Boosie for her success. Regarding their relationship, Nelson suggests that the negativity aimed at her stems from others’ insecurities rather than her reality. As Boosie dreams of a tenth child and Nelson prepares for motherhood, fans wonder if wedding bells will ring before another gender reveal appears on their feeds. One thing is sure: this couple knows how to keep everyone talking.

Keyshia Cole’s Emotional Performance Sparks Buzz Amid Hunxho Breakup Rumors
Keyshia Cole has always been known as a powerhouse of unfiltered emotion, but her recent performance of “I Remember” really showed her vulnerability. Lately, rumors have swirled about her split from rapper Hunxho. A viral clip of the R&B songstress visibly choking up on stage has fans buzzing with theories and sharing their heartfelt reactions.
Recent social media users’ speculation about her relationship status began earlier this month when Cole posted and quickly deleted a statement declaring herself “single asf.” Shortly after, she shared a cryptic post about heartbreak paired with Trina’s 2007 anthem, “Single Again.” These breadcrumbs led fans to believe her relationship with Hunxho might be over. Cole’s emotional performance added to the drama and struck a chord with her followers, sparking even more discussions online.
In the clip making its rounds online, Cole appears to be on the verge of tears while singing her 2007 hit, a ballad famously steeped in pain and longing. Fans flocked to The Shade Room’s comments section to consider the viral moment. While some expressed concern for the singer’s well-being, others suggested her tears weren’t necessarily related to Hunxho. “When you’re a singer, it doesn’t have to be about one person,” one fan noted. “It’s good to still have artists around who feel their music! It’s genuine.”
Despite showing this vulnerable emotional side, Cole is no stranger to handling the spotlight and dissecting her love life. In May of this year, Hunxho faced criticism for being flirtatious after appearing in flirty photos with the Atlanta rapper Gloss Up to promote their collab, prompting Cole to address the situation gracefully. “Him being Yo ‘sneaky link’ When U have a ‘Man you bout to marry’ is nasty work,” she responded. “But I wish you all the best on your project, Love! I was actually rooting for the video to come out.” She sidestepped any public drama while standing firm in her boundaries.
Keyshia Cole has always been a hallmark of her artistry, with a unique talent for turning her trials into music. Whether her tears stemmed from her heartbreak or the sheer weight of her song’s meaning, one thing is clear: Keyshia Cole’s authenticity resonates deeply with her fans. In a world often marked by pretense, her genuine connection to her craft reminds audiences that vulnerability is, in fact, a superpower.
