4Batz has shared his eagerly-awaited debut project U Made Me a St4r, complete with a feature from Kanye West.

Released on Friday (May 3), the project is comprised of 11 tracks, including the viral star’s breakout hits “act i: stickerz ’99′” and “act ii: date @ 8.”

Kanye is featured on a remix of the previously released “act iii: on god? (she like),” spitting a new verse over the dreamy Samx and Seva-produced instrumental.

“You can’t get no better than me, bitch, I’m the best you had/ Do Italian lеather on the bag, claimin’ you on your period ‘causе you’re mad/ I’ma fuck you better on the rag,” he raps.

U Made Me a St4r doesn’t, however, include an appearance from Drake, who further boosted 4Batz’s popularity by jumping on the remix of “act ii: date @ 8” in March.

4Batz reportedly signed to Drake’s OVO Sound earlier this year, but U Made Me a St4r was released through the singer’s own label in conjunction with Gamma, the company founded by former Apple Music and Interscope Records executive Larry Jackson.

According to Audiomack co-founder Brian Zisook, a separate 4Batz project will be released through OVO Sound at a later date.

Further confusing the situation, GQ reported earlier this week that Drake’s label was distributing U Made Me a St4r, but that 4Batz “remains unsigned.”

During his interview with the publication, the Dallas, Texas native reacted to people calling him an “industry plant.”

“Wait until they hear this fucking tape,” he said. “They’re going to be like, ‘I hate this n-gga.’”

He also opened up about his relationship with Kanye West and recalled the advice he gave him about navigating fame.

“He was telling me, ‘Get used to it, because you here now. People are going to look at you like a walking ATM, but you’re going to see through that. You know what I’m saying? Because you a…

Kendrick Lamar‘s fiancée Whitney Alford has been dragged into his feud with Drake over her light-skinned complexion.

Kendrick used the 6 God’s mixed race background as ammo on his diss track “Euphoria,” leading to accusations of hypocrisy as Alford — K. Dot’s high childhood sweetheart and mother of his two children — is also light-skinned.

In an Instagram video, a user named Medusa Showoff slammed the Compton rapper for the perceived double standard, saying: “Kendrick Lamar has no right to question Drake’s Blackness. I really hate that I’m defending Drake right now but I gotta call a thing a thing.

“K. Dot, baby, your wife is just as whitewashed as Drake is. Be fucking for real. Your wife has a white mother and is just as far removed from the Black community as Drake is.”

Continuing to falsely describe Alford as Lamar’s wife, she added: “If we’re being honest, Drake actually looks more Black than your wife does. Your wife does not look Black at all […] I notice with biracial women, y’all always wanna call them Black but then wanna switch it up when it comes to biracial men. I don’t like that shit.

“Not only that, Kendrick Lamar lied and say he loves dark-skinned women, meanwhile he’s been married to a biracial light-skinned woman the whole time […] It’s the hypocrisy for me. Stop playing both sides of the fence.”

Medusa was largely criticized for her comments and assumptions about Kendrick Lamar’s partner of 20 years.

One person hit back in the comments section: “Tell me you didn’t understand the song without telling me you didn’t understand the song! Girl stay out of this conversation because you making us all look bad.”

Another said: “Kendrick’s wife grew up in Compton fym she whitewashed and far removed?”

Drake previously made reference to Whitney Alford on his own diss track “Push Ups” where he rapped: “I be…

Emily Blunt is revealing what movie she did her most “stressful” stunt in, and her answer may surprise some fans.

The Oscar-nominated actress may have been surrounded by death-defying stunts in her latest movie, The Fall Guy, but she recently told People magazine that her scariest stunt was actually in 2018’s Mary Poppins Returns.

“That entrance was very stressful for me,” she recalled of the scene.

Blunt, who took over the memorable Julie Andrews role for Disney’s musical sequel, explained that her character’s entrance “had to start in the clouds and come all the way down toward the ground while holding an umbrella aloft. And I’m supposed to walk effortlessly into my close-up as if it’s nothing.”

The Oppenheimer star added, “I did three takes — and then I felt my tolerance go, ‘Pfft!’ And that was it. I was done.”

However, Blunt said she noticed that director Rob Marshall wanted to go for a fourth take but she immediately shut it down.

“I did three takes and I could see Rob gearing up to do another one,” the actress remembered. “I was like, ‘Nope, no, no, no, I’m done.’ It was over.”

While Blunt also does a fight scene in The Fall Guy, where she stars opposite Ryan Gosling, some fans may have guessed her scariest stunts would have been sci-fi action movie Edge of Tomorrow with Tom Cruise, but that wasn’t the case.

“I did some wire stuff in Edge of Tomorrow, which was probably more dangerous, because I took some spills,” she said. Her performance in the 2014 film also earned her a Critics Choice Award for best actress in an action movie.

Kendrick Lamar is keeping his foot on Drake‘s neck by dropping a second diss song aimed at his fierce rival.

Just days after releasing the explosive “Euphoria,” the Compton rapper shared a new song called “6:16 in LA” — a play on Drake’s timestamp song series — on his Instagram page on Friday (May 3).

Rapping over a sample of Al Green’s “What a Wonderful Thing Love Is,” K. Dot fires off another barrage of shots at the 6 God, claiming that there are Judases among his disciples.

“Conspiracies about cash, dawg, that’s not even the leak/ Find the jewels like Kash Doll, I just need you to think/ Are you finally ready to play ‘Have you ever?,’ let’s see/ Have you ever thought that OVO is working for me?” he raps, responding to Drake’s claim on “Push Ups” that he was being extorted by his former label boss Anthony “Top Dawg” Tiffith.

“Fake bully, I hate bullies, you must be a terrible person/ Everyone inside your team is whispering that you deserve it/ Can’t Toosie Slide up out of this one, it’s just gonna resurface/ Every dog gotta have his day, now live in your purpose.”

Kendrick also accuses Drake of “harassing” people within his camp and trying to dig up dirt on him.

“It was fun until you started to put money in the streets/ They lost money ’cause they came back with no receipts/ I’m sorry that I live a boring life, I love peace/ But war ready if the world is ready to see you bleed,” he spits.

“The Elohim, K. T. W. know you can’t sleep/ These images trouble you, know the wires in your circle should puzzle you/ If you was street smart then you woulda caught that your entourage is only to hustle you.”

He continues: “A hundred n-ggas that you got on salary and 20 of ’em want you as a casualty/ And one of them is actually next to you, and two of them is practically tied to your lifestyle/ Just don’t got the audacity to tell you but let me tell you some game ’cause I can see you my little homie.

“You…

A Mrs. Doubtfire star is sharing how the late Robin Williams went above and beyond for her, both on and off-screen.

On a recent episode of the Brotherly Love podcast, alongside her Mrs. Doubtfire co-stars Mara Wilson and Matthew Lawrence, Lisa Jakub, who played Lydia Hillard in the hit 1993 comedy, recalled Williams coming to her defense regarding an issue at her school.

Jakub said she was still attending high school in Canada while away for four months, filming Mrs. Doubtfire. “We were going to set up this system, pre-internet, where I’d mail my school work back and forth to the school. We did that for a while,” she explained.

“As Matt well remembers, we had tutoring, three hours of schoolwork on set every day,” the actress continued. “We were a couple of months into filming, and my school in Canada sent a note saying, ‘This isn’t working for us anymore, don’t come back.’ Yeah, 9th grade. I was devastated. It was just so heartbreaking, because I had this life that was very unusual and that was the one normal thing.”

However, Jakub said once Williams, who died in 2014, saw how it impacted her, he took matters into his own hands.

“It was a really difficult thing,” she remembered. “The amazing thing was Robin saw that I was upset — he asked me what was going on. He wrote a letter to my principal saying that he wanted them to rethink this decision and that I was just trying to pursue my education and career at the same time, and could they please support me in this.”

Though she greatly appreciated Williams’ efforts, they were ultimately unsuccessful. “The principal got the letter, framed the letter, put it up in the office, and didn’t ask me to come back,” Jakub added. “Amazing.”

Lawrence later added during the Mrs. Doubtfire reunion on the podcast that Williams also wrote a letter of recommendation to help him get into the University of Southern…

Neve Campbell shared that Spyglass Media Group increased her pay for Scream VII after she previously exited the franchise due to a salary dispute.

Ahead of Scream VI, the actress said in 2022 that she would not be returning to the blockbuster slasher series because she “felt the offer that was presented to me did not equate to the value I have brought to the franchise.” However, it was revealed in March that Campbell would reprise her character Sidney Prescott in the upcoming seventh installment.

While the Wild Things actress is excited to return to her character she’s known for 30 years, she also recently told People magazine that she’s “really grateful that the studio heard me when I talked about pay discrepancy and when I talked about [Scream VI negotiations] not feeling respectful.”

She added, “When they first approached me [for Scream VII ], I thought, ‘I don’t know what respectful looks like to them. We might be in very different places.’ But they started out in a strong place, so that was lovely.”

Campbell noted that since the tone of the negotiations was completely different from before, it changed her outlook on the opportunity to return for the Kevin Williamson-directed sequel.

“It feels nice to have put that out into the world and to have been listened to and to have made a difference in that way,” she said. “I hope other people get that opportunity too.”

Campbell’s return came after the horror franchise faced several setbacks last year, including Jenna Ortega’s departure, Melissa Barrera’s high-profile firing and director Christopher Landon’s exit.

To celebrate her casting announcement, the House of Cards actress previously wrote on Instagram, “Sidney Prescott is coming back!!!! It’s always been such a blast and an honor to get to play Sidney in the Scream movies. My appreciation for these films and for what they have meant to me, has never waned….
