  • DJ Akademiks Responds to Peter Rosenberg's Boxing Challenge

    DJ Akademiks Responds to Peter Rosenberg’s Boxing Challenge

    The feud between DJ Akademiks and Peter Rosenberg took another turn after Rosenberg challenged Akademiks to a celebrity boxing match. During his show on Hot 97, Rosenberg said that the boxing match could be for $100,000 and all proceeds would go to charity.

    Akademiks rejected Rosenberg’s suggestion during his live stream on Wednesday night and issued a challenge of his own.

    ‘Ain’t no celebrity boxing that’s gonna go down with me,” Ak responded. “I need $1 million to step in the ring with anybody, but you should DM me and we could spar. I’m giving you that opportunity, Rosenberg, and I don’t give that opportunity a lot. You talking way too crazy…Hit me up and we’ll spar in the next week. If Rosenberg hits me up in the next week, I’ll spar with him. We’ll find a gym and me and him will spar. No cameras, no nothing and we’ll see what’s up. You know I s****** on you because you a 45-year-old with your b****, f*** both of y’all.”

    The former Everyday Struggle host added that he wants the sparring session to happen within the next week or he never wants to hear from Rosenberg again.

    “I see you trying to take it physical,” Ak continued. “I’ll do it for free. It’s gotta be in the next week. If you DM me in the next week, and I don’t respond, screenshot it and expose me. Otherwise, I don’t want to hear s*** from you. You’re irrelevant and you start talking that hand s***.”

    Akademiks previously called out Rosenberg and Ebro after the radio cohosts referred to him as a “talentless hack.” Rosenberg is yet to respond to Ak’s challenge.

  • Lil Baby "My Turn" is the Highest Earning Album of 2020, Made $19M

    Lil Baby “My Turn” is the Highest Earning Album of 2020, Made $19M

    Despite the pandemic causing various setbacks in the music industry, Lil Baby is continuing to experience massive success. It was recently revealed that his album “My Turn” earned more than any other album in 2020, according to HITS Daily Double. 

    Lil Baby’s project earned an estimated $19 million this year, and it is Lil Baby’s first No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart. The album topped the Billboard 200 chart again in June, and has 20 billion plays across various platforms and counting. He’s also up for a pair of Grammy nominations, for rap performance and rap song, each for his song “The Bigger Picture.”

    Second on the list of highest-earning albums of the year is Taylor Swift’s Folklore ($16.3M), followed by Pop Smoke’s Shoot for the Stars Aim for the Moon ($15.8M), Juice Wrld’s Legends Never Die ($15.6M), and The Weeknd’s After Hours ($15.5M).

    Lil Baby recently spoke to the L.A. Times about having success but not being able to celebrate and connect with fans. He explained, “That’s the bittersweet part about it. I haven’t been able to take it all in, because I haven’t gotten fruits of my labor yet. Hopefully, with the vaccine, stuff will be open next summer. My album’s strong enough to ride it out till the end, though. I almost feel like I got robbed, but I ain’t gonna stop. Everything happens for a reason.”

  • Congress Likely to Pass $900B COVID-19 Relief Deal with Stimulus Checks

    Congress Likely to Pass $900B COVID-19 Relief Deal with Stimulus Checks

    American citizens in desperate need of financial support as the country slowly shuts down in response to the growing cases and deaths due to COVID-19 may get some relief in Congress’s latest relief plan. According to reports, Congressional leaders and the White House are nearing an agreement on a $900 billion COVID-19 relief plan that would include stimulus checks for Americans. 

    In addition to stimulus checks, the bill will also include enhanced federal jobless benefits, small-business funding, and funds to distribute COVID-19 vaccines. It’s not yet clear just how much the stimulus checks will be. Sources in Washington have speculated that the checks will only be $600 for individuals, while others say the figure could be higher. 

    “It’s not a done deal yet. But we are very close,” said Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. “We made major headway toward hammering out a targeted pandemic relief package that would be able to pass both chambers with bipartisan majorities,” added Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. “We committed to continuing these urgent discussions until we have an agreement, and we agreed we will not leave town until we’ve made law.”
