Hey everyone, welcome back! Let’s jump into some updates on stories that have been blowing up online — including MGK catching heat, Ja Rule mysteriously going silent after getting fact-checked, and Will Smith’s album flop that’s got people dragging Snoop and Dre into the conversation. Let’s get started.

First up: MGK sparks debate over the “White Rappers Mount Rushmore”

So this all started when Machine Gun Kelly claimed it was “blasphemy” that he wasn’t included in the so-called “white rappers Mount Rushmore.” The comment went viral and sent hip-hop fans into a frenzy, debating not just MGK’s place — but the entire idea of whether enough white rappers exist to fill a Mount Rushmore at all.

A lot of people were quick to point out the obvious: Eminem is in a league of his own. One user summed it up perfectly, saying:

“First, Eminem is on a totally different level than the rest — and it’s not even close.”

Others mentioned the Beastie Boys, calling them icons who paved the way, while some joked the “Mount Rushmore” should probably just be Eminem by himself.

There was even a debate about Mac Miller, with one user saying:

“I understand people like Mac Miller, but he’s not the one like that.”

And honestly, it sparked a bigger conversation about how artists sometimes only get full appreciation after they’re gone — something Mac sadly exemplifies.

The most savage take?

“The white rapper Mount Rushmore is just Eminem.”

And if you got bodied by someone on that list, like MGK did by Eminem with “Killshot,” some argued you shouldn’t even be eligible. Harsh, but this is the internet.

Next up: Ja Rule calls out 50 Cent — and then disappears

Ja Rule got bold on social media, pulling out the same old paperwork trying to label 50 Cent a “rat.” He was loving the memes and even posted laughing emojis alongside AI-generated pics of 50 dressed as a snitch.

But then…a professional stepped in. Someone with knowledge of the case explained that the documents Ja Rule was sharing didn’t prove anything. In fact, they’d been debunked years ago. Once that response went public, Ja Rule suddenly went radio silent.

People noticed fast:

“I think Ja lost his internet connection, lol.”

And it only got worse when another user pointed out the real story:

“50 never told. The feds cleared that ages ago. Murder Inc. got themselves indicted because of their own bad business.”

Despite Ja trying to double down by reposting the same old screenshot, it was clear the receipts didn’t hold up. Once confronted with the facts, Ja Rule ghosted.

And finally: Will Smith’s new album flops, sparking debate over streaming — and even dragging Snoop and Dre into the mix

News broke that Will Smith’s latest album sold just 268 copies in the UK — a shocking number for someone of his status. Fans started debating whether his attempt to rebuild his reputation after “the slap” was falling flat.

Some tried to defend him, saying:

“Nobody buys CDs anymore, it’s all about streams.”

But here’s the thing: streams are already factored into album sales these days. If the streaming numbers were strong, the album would’ve charted — it didn’t.

Then someone tried to soften the blow by claiming:

“Same thing happened with Snoop and Dre’s album.”

But that was flat-out false. Snoop and Dre’s recent collaboration debuted in the Top 10 across Billboard’s charts, moving 38,000 equivalent album units in its first week. Even LL Cool J’s new album outsold Will’s by a mile.

Moral of the story? Will’s album flopped, and trying to loop other legends into it didn’t make it any less obvious.

That’s the latest rundown! What do you think:

— Does MGK deserve a spot on the white rappers Mount Rushmore?

— Should Ja Rule finally retire the old “50 is a rat” narrative?

— And can Will Smith still make a music comeback after all this?
