The Le'Nalors News of The Week - WWE's Roman Reigns Nabs Role of Akuma In new Street Fighter Live-Action

Multiple outlets announced the casting on Thursday evening (June 26). Reigns beat out a call sheet of who’s who in Hollywood to secure the major role in the forthcoming Street Fighter live-action adaptation. The Hollywood Reporter broke the news.  

Akuma is arguably the best fighter in the classic video game. He made his debut in 1994 on Street Fighter Turbo.  Known for his menacing presence and destructive power, Akuma is a fan favorite in the franchise.

Reigns joins an eclectic cast blending talent from music, film, and television. Rap star 50 Cent will step into the role of Balrog. Country artist Orville Peck has been cast as Vega. Jason Momoa will take on the part of Blanka. 

Andrew Koji has signed on as Ryu, with Noah Centineo as Ken. Callina Liang rounds out the lineup as Chun-Li. The film, produced by Capcom and Legendary, will be directed by Kitao Sakurai and is set to begin shooting in Australia this August.

The Le'Nalors News of The Week - Chris Brown Shows Love To T-Pain Amid Drake Tensions

Chris Brown broke up the intense backlash T-Pain has been receiving after Drake called him resentful for his comments on Drizzy's retirement.

Drake inspired a wave of hate against T-Pain after the singer criticized the rapper for not following up on previous claims of retirement. But Chris Brown is there to shout him out as a "pioneer," even after Drizzy called him resentful for his take on possibly hanging it up.

As caught by HOT 97 on Twitter, Breezy took to his Instagram Story to send a message to the Tallahassee native amid all the controversy. Many fans probably didn't expect this situation to blow up this much, but a response from the 6ix God is all that OVO fans needed to clap back.

"RANDOM THOUGHT..." Brown wrote, which doesn't seem very random when you consider the context. "@tpain is one of the goats of my generation!! GIVING YOU YOUR FLOWERS!!! PIONEER LOVE YOU MY BROTHER!

Of course, you may be wondering what T-Pain said about Drake in the first place to warrant this discussion. It seemed like nothing at the time, but it's not the first time that the former said something critical of the latter.

"One thing I learned from Drake, but one thing he hasn't followed his own words," the 40-year-old had remarked. "Drake said, ‘I wanna be one of them people that gracefully bow out and not get kicked out.’ I have ever since said, ‘Thank y’all, I appreciate y’all. I'll see y'all when I drop.' [...] Drake is like, ‘No, listen, OK, I got another one. Hold on, check this out. Y'all ain't like that one? OK, real quick, just one more. Let me try one more.'"

"This guy always had resentment for me [crying-laughing emoji]," Drake responded to T-Pain. "You can hear it every time he speaks on my name."

As for where Chris Brown and Drake stand, the former's shoutout to the latter's "resentful" critic doesn't mean that he has no love for the Toronto superstar. Then again, they previously had beef that they seemed to squash. But during the Kendrick Lamar battle, there were some rumors that Brown was on the Compton lyricist's side. Still, that's just speculative, so these aren't necessarily fighting words.

The Le'Nalors News of The Week - Snoop vs Suge ??

Snoop Dogg has taken aim at former label boss, Suge Knight, in new song “Shut Yo Bitch Ass Up”.

The two have been exchanging public shots for a while now but Snoop has made the move to address his one time friend on wax.

“Shut Yo Bitch Ass Up” which features on Snoop’s surprise new album Iz It A Crime? sees Tha Doggfather throw some serious accusations at Suge.

Snoop raps: “I can see why you mad / I bought everything you own / Now you in PC snitching on the phone.”

The West Coast legend continues: “But I can slap the taste out your muthafuckin’ mouth / Pull up on your n-gga, make you wanna reroute / And if he hit the main line, he gon’ see what we bout/Oh bitch ass n-gga, I’m a rich ass n-gga.”

Suge has yet to respond to Snoop’s claims.

The Death Row Records co-founder recently tore into his one-time signee for his treatment of the historic label since he bought it in 2022.

“Snoop, you said I’m mad because you bought Death Row? What’d you buy? Show me the paperwork. Show me what you own,” he said on The Art of Dialogue.

He then went into detail about how Snoop’s Doggystyle label didn’t take off, then added: “And you was running Def Jam. Did you do anything good for Def Jam? Absolutely not. Now you wanna start something that has nothing to do with you. You going backwards. You tryna create something that Suge Knight created. But instead of going big, you disappointing the world by making everything flops.”

The Le'Nalors News of The Week - Drake's Lawsuit Against UMG Over "Not Like Us" Blasted

If successful, could this actually set a dangerous precedent?

Drake continues to find a lot of backlash and controversy in his path following his federal defamation lawsuit against his distributor Universal Music Group for releasing Kendrick Lamar's "Not Like Us" diss track. With each passing day, the reactions extend beyond hardcore hip-hop fans and into more traditional publications and emerging media leaders, especially when it comes to more big-picture analysis. For example, a recent article from The Guardian posits the lack of successful precedent for a case like this, and also brings up the hypocrisy of Aubrey Graham using lyrics in court after his support of Young Thug, who faced similar scrutiny.

For one, this article from The Guardian points out one highly relevant defamation case in rap music that suggests Drake will have a very difficult time finding what he wants. This is the legal filing from Debbie Mathers against her son Eminem back in 1999, for which she sought $11 million for his lines about her drug use on The Slim Shady EP. The court only awarded her $25,000, which reportedly turned to $1,600 after legal and lawyer fees. 

With this context in mind – plus other defamation cases orbiting around the culture – it's clear that defamation cases are incredibly tough to win for celebrities in such an expansive public eye. For Drake, who remains one of the biggest superstars in the music industry, it will clearly be an uphill battle, which is why people have their own theories as to why he launched this lawsuit. Perhaps this all only relates to his contract negotiations with UMG as a point of leverage, but even the most casual hip-hop listeners seem to believe that this will impact his reputation for the rest of his career.

Of course, a key point to emphasize is the cultural, historical, and artistic relevance of diss tracks and rap battles throughout hip-hop's 50-year-plus history, even if the specific starting point is up for debate. Although it seems very unlikely that Drake will prevail – and we're not here to minimize the negative events he faced in the wake of the beef – the media world understands how dangerous this could be as a tool for artists, labels, and litigators to suppress artistic expression.

 

The Le'Nalors News of The Week - The Penguin Makes DC History With Golden Globes Nomination

The Penguin has just done something no other DC series has achieved before. The second installment in Matt Reeves' The Batman Epic Crime Saga has become the first DC series to receive a nomination at the Golden Globe Awards in the category of Best Television Limited Series, Anthology Series or Motion Picture Made for Television.

The Penguin has been nominated alongside the Netflix series Baby Reindeer, Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story, and Ripley, Apple TV+'s Disclaimer, and fellow HBO/Max series, True Detective: Night Country. Additionally, The Penguin stars Cristin Milioti (Sofia Gigante) and Colin Farrell (Oz Cobb) received nominations for Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Limited Series, Anthology Series, or a Motion Picture Made for Television and Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Limited Series, Anthology Series, or a Motion Picture Made for Television, respectively. The Penguin is the first installment in The Batman Epic Crime Saga and the first DC Studios production to receive Golden Globe Awards nominations.

Set one week after the events of 2022's The Batman, The Penguin follows Colin Farrell's Oz Cobb as he attempts to take control of Gotham's criminal underworld. The eight-episode HBO limited series is the second entry in Matt Reeves’ The Batman Epic Crime Saga, serving as a bridge between The Batman (2022) and its upcoming sequel, The Batman Part II, which is scheduled to hit theaters in 2026.

The Penguin received near-unanimous acclaim from critics, with the HBO limited series certified fresh on the review aggregate website Rotten Tomatoes at 95 percent. The series was also a ratings success, with The Penguin topping viewership and streaming charts throughout its 8-week run. However, despite this success, a second season of The Penguin has not yet been considered by HBO and DC, with showrunner Lauren LeFranc stating in November 2024that another season will only happen if they "feel like we can top ourselves." She explained, "We have to feel like there's something more there to really dig into. I mean, I really care about all these characters, even if they're terrible people.

The Le'Nalors News of The Week - Ray J Says He Never Witnessed Any Freak Offs At Diddy’s Parties

He once considered the mogul a mentor and a close friend.

While more individuals continue to share their negative experiences with Diddy, Ray J says he partied with the mogul on several occasions and never witnessed any criminal activities.

As spotted on TMZ, the tech entrepreneur recently spoke to Chris Cuomo on CUOMO. While he discussed a variety of topics, it was his response to partying with Diddy that was the highlight of the interview. When asked if he was witness to any of the alleged “freak offs,” he made it clear he did not. “We’ve never seen the stuff that’s being said and the stuff that people are finding out, like, I’ve never been in rooms that people are talking about, and I never knew they existed” he explained.

The “Wait A Minute” singer also went on to add that entertainers and high-profile celebrities should learn from this moment. “We’ve all been around him, at least in my era, and have looked up to him,” Ray J said. “And this situation is super unfortunate, but it’s important to learn a lesson right right now and ensure the next generation understands how to move differently with transparency and integrity,” he continued. In closing, Ray J shared that artists of the previous generation need to be “accountable” and said, “I don’t think this is a time to tear anybody down.”

The Le'Nalors News of The Week - ICE SPICE SETTLES LAWSUIT WITH BROOKLYN RAPPER WHO ACCUSED HER OF STEALING ‘IN HA MOOD’

Ice Spice will no longer have to worry about where her mood came from, as she’s settled a lawsuit filed against her earlier this year over her track “In Ha Mood.”

On Friday (September 20), attorneys for both Ice and the Brooklyn rapper who filed the suit, Duval “D.Chamberz” Chamerlain, filed a stipulation of voluntary dismissal. The case was dismissed with prejudice, which means that it can’t be brought again.

No details of any agreement between the parties were revealed, and neither side replied to a request for details from Billboard.

The suit was filed in January of this year. D.Chamberz claimed that Spice copied the beat, lyrics, hook, rhyme structure, metrical placement and narrative of his January 2022 track “In That Mood” for her “In Ha Mood.”

He claimed that he made the song an entire year before the Bronx rap star released “In Ha Mood,” which came out in January 2023 and appears on her debut EP Like..?

Chamberz (real name Duval Chamberlain) said in the suit that Ice Spice and her producer RiotUSA could have heard his version of the song as he worked as a DJ in New York and that “In That Mood” also received radio play in the city.

He asked for “no less than fifty percent (50%) of the publishing and other revenues derived from” the track. 

The Le'Nalors News of The Week - 50 Cent Clowns Meek Mill For Offering $100K To Get To The Bottom Of Diddy Rumors

50 Cent is relentless.

In Rodney "Lil Rod" Jones' lawsuit against Diddy, he alleged that the mogul had a sexual relationship with a "Philadelphia Rapper who dated Nicki Minaj." Unsurprisingly, social media users were quick to jump to conclusions and speculate that the rapper was Meek Mill. He's been getting clowned online over the alleged fling ever since, despite denying it.

Earlier this week, Meek took to Twitter/X with a proposal for whatever investigators might be able to reveal why his name keeps getting roped in with Diddy's. “I wanna hire an investigative team 100k cash to find out every specific detail involving meek mill name to ‘Diddy’ Case,” he wrote. “I also want them to look at who is powering the media involving ‘meek’ anything to do with buddy! ‘Something not right.’”

He continued, questioning whether or not there's some sort of conspiracy at play. "The streets know wassup with me thats not the case,” he explained. “We talking about business side ,somebody powering these bad campaigns [shrug emoji] with ‘meeek mill’ again I got 100k for a thorough investigation of who’s powering and how exactly my name connect to this…” Unfortunately, Meek's posts resulted in even more online trolling. 50 Cent, for example, took to social media last night with a bizarre deepfake.

"They been doing meek dirty, he want to pay 100k to find out who doing this. LOL http://gunitbrands.com," he captioned the clip alongside a laughing emoji. What do you think of Meek Mill offering $100K to whoever's willing to investigate what's tying his name to Diddy's? Do you blame him for wanting to get to the bottom of things? What about 50 Cent's reaction to his proposal?
