Street Bud of The Rap Game

This season of 'The Rap Game' it started out with five new artists, Lil Bri, Rapunzel, Jordan, Ricki Bitti and Street Bud. Street Bud was the youngest of the artists and he had the most energy. Although all of the artist showed progression over the 13 week process, it was Street Bud who won the game and took home the chain!

On the finale of 'The Rap Game' season 4 the artist prepared for their final performance. JD partnered them up with different producers to help them create their track. Each individual artist created their own song with the help from their managers.

During the performance Lil Bri kicked it off with a acapella freestyle wearing a prison jumpsuit. Then she came out the jumpsuit and finished her song when the beat dropped. Second to come in and perform was Jordan. The thing about Jordan was his performance was the same but he took off his glasses showing that he had confidence without them. Street Bud was the third artist to perform and he killed it hands down! He came out rolling on wheels and hyped up the crowd the moment he started spitting his rhymes. Ricki Bitti  came up next and her performance was like no other she had ever done. She even looked her age and had the crowd jumping. Last but not least was Rapunzel who came out on stage with boxing gloves to show that she was in for the fight to win the title.

At the end of the day JD couldn't pick all of the artist. They all did a good job in their final performance. However, it was Street Bud who took the victory. He got the style, the swag, the flow and the music that gravitates to young crowd. The 12-year-old and his strong and exceptional manager and mother Cori deserved to win. 

Congrats Street Bud! Welcome to So So Def!

Cast of 'Love and Hip Hop Miami


In the beginning of this season of 'Love and Hip Hop Miami' Blue and Shay wasn't feeling each other. Shay who was with Pleasure P at the time went on the attack and Blue fought back when he called her a B***h. Who would have thought that these two would end up working together?

Blue propositioned Shay with a business opportunity that involved showing skin. Now being that Blue and Pleasure are the best of friends doing a lingerie photo shoot probably wasn't the best move. Blue may not have known Pleasure and Shay had broken up but he sure didn't waste any time trying to make a move. When Pleasure saw Shay in the studio with Blue he was in shock causing him to kill two birds with one stone. He addressed Shay about Scrappy and he addressed Blue about choosing money over loyalty. At the end of the day Blue and Shay was breaking the rules but they weren't the only ones.

Bobby of 'Love and Hip Hop Miami


Unfortunately, Bobby is still in his feelings about his cousin Trina who he feels doesn't support his music. He broke the ultimate rule when he dissed Trina during an interview which is a definite no-no when it comes to bloodlines. 

Speaking of Trina, she let her guards down and went on a double date with Joy and Pleasure P. Trina's date was her longtime friend Raymond who was not shy to let Trina know how he feels about her. Will Trina and Raymond take things to the next level? You never know what the Creator brings. Joy on the otherhand who will soon be a legally single woman didn't hold back from telling Pleasure about seeing Shay and Scrappy together. Now she just woke the lion up. Shay has already said she would be addressing Joy but keep in mind Joy has a cousin and her name is Trina!

Amara, Steph, Veronica Vega of 'Love and Hip Hip Miami


Veronica, Steph and Amara started out as friends in the beginning of 'Love and Hip Hop Miami' but things started to take a turn for the worse when Young Hollywood came into the mix. Amara was criticized by Hollywood for her hair and she took it to Steph and Vega who then took it back to Hollywood. After Amara's infamous photo shoot Hollywood decided to work with Amara. However, it was during the photo shoot when Amara learned Steph and Vega were talking about her with Young Hollywood. So, JoJo told Amara what was said and Amara revealed what Vega said about her. It was all a whole big mess of he said she said. The problem was Hollywood came at the wrong person. It was Vega who brought the issue up at the wrong place but it was Steph who brought her there. Just messy all the way around. Will Vega and Amara become best friends again or is the end of their friendship?

'Love and Hip Hop New York' S8E15: "The Wrath of Bianca"

Bianca of Love and Hip Hop NY


After being excluded from the St. Martin trip Bianca had been feeling some type of way which ultimately led to the wrath of Bianca. Her feud with Brittany escalated to the point where others were forced to get involved.

During the St. Martin trip Bri and Mariahlynn squashed their beef and neither Dream Doll nor Bianca was happy with it. The attempt to get the girls to at least co-exist with one another didn't go so well for Yandy and Remy Ma. However, Bri took the initiative to bring Dream Doll and Mariah together hoping to end their beef and move forward. Although Dream Doll agreed to put things to rest Bianca wasn't so forthcoming.

When Mariah tried to get Bianca to call a truce with Bri Bianca declined. She even tried to get her to be apart of Safaree's remix to his song "Paradise". Bianca told Mariah that she would be apart of it but that turned out to be false hope. Not only did she go against her word she snapped out on Safaree and called Mariah trashy. Bianca continued on a war path when she approached DJ Webstar and blamed him for the beef between her and Bri. Even though DJ Webstar apologized for his part that still wasn't good enough for Bianca. 

So now that Bianca feels her friend has sided with the enemies she feels like she's by herself. What is the female rapper going to go now? Will she stay on the show or is her days of 'Love and Hip Hop New York' over?
