It's The Boombap

DJ Akademiks doesn't think Lil Yachty is the type of friend Drake needs right now and instead wishes the Toronto rapper had a "delusional" friend who would back him up no matter what the context. He made the comments in response to Yachty discussing the feud on his A Safe Space podcast and admitting he has respect for both Drake and Kendrick Lamar.

"Yachty, and I f*ck with you, but I gotta agree with this fan," he began, referencing a user critiquing Yachty for not sticking up more for Drake. "If I'm Drake, I need a delusional friend with me. I need the friend that I'm mad drunk in the club with and I'm stumbling all over the place and I stepped on somebody's foot by mistake but then that person shoves me and rather than tryna figure it out like, 'Oh, actually you stepped on his foot first,' my delusional friend just comes over my shoulder with a punch. 'Why the f*ck you touching Ak?!' We can talk about the other sh*t later my n***a. I need my delusional friends right now. That's what we need. I'ma keep it a bean, Drake needs one of those." From there, Akademiks argued Drake needs to start making some new friends.

Lamar actually name-drops Yachty on his diss track, "Euphoria," accusing him of ghostwriting for Drake. He admitted on his podcast that he wasn't happy with the mention. "So many people kept calling and texting me with excitement of my name being used and for me it kinda just felt like... I really didn't want anything to do with it," Yachty confessed. "I got a ton of respect for both of these guys. Honestly, it was a cool thing to watch. I learned so much. It was an honor and blessing to be able to experience it firsthand."

A fan on social media has edited a new version of Drake's "Taylor Made Freestyle" that replaces 2Pac and Snoop Dogg's A.I. verses with one from the Toronto rapper himself. Drake dropped the song as a diss track aimed at Kendrick Lamar back on April 19, but he took it down soon after when 2Pac's estate threatened legal action.

The video has been getting plenty of support from fans in the comments section on YouTube. "This is the most brilliant way to use AI I've seen in a minute lol well done," one fan remarked. Another user wrote: "Wouldve been so much better and funnier if he woulda did this instead. You saved it lil bro."

2Pac's estate described the song as "a flagrant violation of Tupac's publicity and the Estate's legal right" and "a blatant abuse of the legacy of one of the greatest hip-hop artists of all time." A statement from their lawyer continued: "The Estate would never have given its approval for this use. The unauthorized, equally dismaying use of Tupac's voice against Kendrick Lamar, a good friend to the Estate who has given nothing but respect to Tupac and his legacy publicly and privately, compounds the insult." Check out the latest fan version of the song below.

Candace Owens says she's not willing to forgive Diddy until he reveals who "is operating the ring in Hollywood" and called on him to "name names" in a post on Twitter, on Sunday. She provided the only circumstance in which she'd be down to "sweep a lot under the rug" while sharing the apology video Diddy made in regard to CNN publishing footage of him appearing to assault Cassie at a hotel in 2016. Owens' post made several more allegations about the Bad Boy mogul.

"Great to hear you're sorry, Diddy," she began. "Now do Biggie, plus the guy you allegedly shot in that bathroom, plus Kid Cudi's car you allegedly blew up: And whoever you were allegedly shooting at in the nightclub with J-Lo. For starters." In a follow-up, she added: "I'd be willing to sweep a lot under the rug if you did the first courageous thing in your life and named exactly who is operating the ring in Hollywood. Name names."

In his apology, Diddy attempts to argue he was in a dark place and has since sought professional help. "It's so difficult to reflect on the darkest times in your life, but sometimes you got to do that," he says. "I was f*cked up - I hit rock bottom - but I make no excuses. My behavior on that video is inexcusable. I take full responsibility for my actions in that video. I was disgusted then when I did it. I'm disgusted now. I went and I sought out professional help, I got into going to therapy, going to rehab. I had to ask God for his mercy and grace. I'm so sorry. But I'm committed to be a better man each and every day. I'm not asking for forgiveness. I'm truly sorry."

Baka Not Nice has seemingly addressed Kendrick Lamar's "Not Like Us" diss, in which the Compton rapper accuses the longtime OVO member of having a "weird case." In 2015, he pleaded guilty to assaulting a woman and was sentenced to six months in jail. Additionally, he was charged with forcing the woman into prostitution, but that case was dropped when she refused to testify.

On Sunday, he shared a picture of himself on his Instagram Story with a caption that seemingly addressed the situation. "I STAY WITH INTELLIGENT PPL I'M NOT A FOLLOWER YOU CAN'T LEAD ME TO NO SLAUGHTER MEN LIE WOMAN LIE BUT PAPERWORK CAN'T," he wrote.

Baka isn't the only member of OVO that Lamar brings up on the song. He raps: "They tell me Chubbs the only one that get your hand-me-downs / And Party at the party playin' with his nose now / And Baka got a weird case, why is he around? / Certified Lover Boy? Certified pedophiles." Drake fired back in response to the remarks with the song, "The Heart Part 6," which he dropped a day after Lamar's track. He raps: "Just for clarity, I feel disgusted, I'm too respected / If I was f*cking young girls, I promise I'd have been arrested / I'm way too famous for this sh*t you just suggested." In the weeks since the chaotic weekend during which both artists dropped several diss tracks, the two have been silent.

Jalen Brunson couldn't find many positive takeaways from the New York Knicks' season after the team lost to the Indiana Pacers in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals on Sunday afternoon. He got brutally honest with members of the media in a press conference while discussing his performance as well as the hand injury that sidelined him for the second half of the game.

As for whether this season was a success, he said blatantly: "No... Did we win the championship? Did we get close? So, no. That's my mindset. That's just how it is." Brunson fractured his hand while defending Tyrese Haliburton at the rim in the third quarter. "I thought I just jammed it, to be honest with you," he admitted, before revealing that he could tell "something was wrong."

As for his season as a whole, Brunson was highly critical of his play. "I would say there's pros and cons to how I played," he said. "The pros, obviously, are I played well individually at some points in the playoffs. The cons are that I didn't play well enough to help my team move forward. You can say I got hurt in Game 7, I wasn't playing well in Game 7. We had a 2-0 and a 3-2 lead, it's just hard to look at things individually when you don't help your team."
