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.

Yungeen Ace Steps In To Calm His Mom Amid Heated Foolio Mention

In 2024, Yungeen Ace has had a busy year, releasing several music projects and establishing himself in the rap scene. Recently, however, he found himself in a more personal situation involving his mother during a tense online argument. The conflict centers around Foolio, a late rapper whose tragic death still impacts fans and the hip-hop community. According to a recent tweet from No Jumper, things heated up when Yungeen Ace and some friends reacted to a claim from streamer Tylil, who suggested that Ace isn’t truly from the streets.
What started as a typical online disagreement quickly intensified when Ace’s mother brought up Foolio’s name. This mention stirred up strong emotions because of the troubled history between Ace and Foolio, who had a well-known feud that continued even after Foolio passed away. Yungeen Ace laughed lightly at the mention of Foolio, likely aware of how sensitive that topic is for him, before telling his mom to back down. This moment offered a glimpse into a side of Ace that fans don’t often see, one of someone torn between loyalty to family and the complicated history of a rivalry that still affects his career.
For those not in the loop, the conflict between Yungeen Ace and Foolio has been one of the more painful stories in recent hip-hop news. Foolio’s death complicated things further, leaving many fans and artists divided. The sadness of losing someone so young, mixed with ongoing tensions, makes conversations about Foolio very delicate, especially for Ace. What’s the significance of this recent incident for Yungeen Ace? It could reignite discussions about his rivalry with Tylil and remind everyone that the past still lingers.
More importantly, it sheds light on the personal challenges Ace faces behind the scenes, balancing grief, family dynamics, and the pressures of fame while striving to succeed in his music career. In an age where social media can amplify conflicts beyond reality, this small yet meaningful moment between Ace and his mother serves as a reminder that the issues are about public battles and deeply affect the people involved.

Fans Cold As Ice Over Lil Baby’s Leak Complaint

In the fast-changing world of hip-hop, artists can be praised one moment and criticized the next. Recently, rapper Lil Baby found himself in a tough spot on social media. On June 21, he expressed his frustration on Twitter about several of his songs being leaked online. He tweeted, “Damn yall just gone keep leaking my songs!!” but the tweet was soon deleted after people responded mostly with indifference. Unfortunately for Lil Baby, instead of receiving sympathy, he faced a wave of sarcasm.
Many users replied harshly, with one comment saying, “ur good bro nobody is paying attention to ur leaks,” which reflected the overall dismissive attitude. It can be particularly hard for an artist who has achieved so much in the music industry. Since his album “It’s Only Me” came out, Lil Baby has encountered a lot of negativity from critics. While not all fans have loved his style, the recent feedback feels harsher compared to the past. Some believe people are simply tired of his music, while others think he hasn’t evolved his sound enough. Whatever the reason, the response has not been very warm lately.
But it’s not all bad news for Lil Baby. He still manages to make it onto the music charts, performs at big festivals, and has a huge number of followers. The leaks might upset him, but they also show that there is still interest in his work, at least from some fans. The real challenge seems to be the growing gap between him and his audience. In today’s world, where fans can change their opinions in an instant, handling public feedback can be quite difficult.
This situation highlights how the relationship between artists and their fans has changed. With the internet giving everyone a chance to share their thoughts, not all feedback is positive. For Lil Baby, this is just another moment in the complex journey of fame that may hurt now but won’t define his entire career. After all, one lesson from hip-hop is that comebacks are part of the game.
