Kanye West might have another reason to rap about someone stealing his stuff.

According to TMZ, West was a victim of another burglary, this time at his Calabasas studio on Tuesday. Police officials tell TMZ that the burglar busted open a door and made away with $20,000 worth of laptop and desktop computers.

Sources tell TMZ that Kanye’s team has already replaced the equipment and none of their private information was breached thanks to some heavy computer security.

Law enforcement have no leads on a suspect yet, but ‘Ye’s people think it was someone with insider info of his personal studio. Once Kanye finds out (remember his thieving cousin from “Real Friends?”), you best believe he’ll have a nice diss line ready.

Some longtime Johnny Depp fans are calling for a boycott of the actor’s forthcoming movies following allegations of domestic violence made by Depp’s wife Amber Heard. Depp’s most recent film, the Tim Burton-directed Alice Through the Looking Glass, opened Friday, but its release could be impacted by what’s going on in Depp’s personal life right now.

Big Sean and Jhené Aiko stopped by The Late Late Show With James Corden on Thursday night to perform their TWENTY88 track “On the Way.”

Big Sean kicked things off from inside of the show’s photo booth, spitting the track’s first bars as he slowly made his way to the stage where Jhené Aiko was waiting. From there, Jhené dipped into her own verse while swaying between clouds of purple smoke on the stage. The two then played off their undeniable chemistry, walking around each other in circles before finally resting on each other to grind for a few bars. By the song’s end, the music quieted down and the two got more intimate than ever singing the last few lyrics directly to each other.

The duo surprised fans when they dropped their collaborative album, TWENTY88, on April 1. Riddled with conflict, love, and sex, the project mangled buttery soul and glitched out R&B croons all into one incredibly seductive result.

Slim Thug is calling out Troy Ave over the shooting at Irving Plaza earlier this week that left one dead and three injured. “You new niggas ain’t that smart, man. You new niggas be doin’ a lot of dumb shit,” he says in a video posted to Instagram that has since been deleted.

Thug goes on to call Troy dumb for bringing the gun in the club, noting video would catch him in the act especially since people know who he is. He ends his note with a warning to stop doing “dumb shit.” “This not Belly. You can’t just walk in there and chop it up and get away, it ain’t real. Wake up young niggas, y’all too dumb. Get out the dumb shit and do some smart shit.”

Troy has since been arrested for attempted murder following the deadly shooting Wednesday night.

Rapper Maino, who was at Irving Plaza to perform that night, released a statement on Instagram denying reports that himself or his entourage were involved in the shooting or had any beef with Troy Ave. However, some news outlets are reporting that the shooting was the result of an argument between Maino and Troy Ave’s crews in the green room that spilled out into the main area of the venue on the third floor.

The shooting resulted in the death of Ronald “BSBBanga” McPhatter, a member of Troy’s entourage, and the wounding of three others, including Troy, who was grazed in the leg.

Gucci Mane is finally home. Sources close to the Atlanta rap veteran have confirmed to Complex that Gucci Mane has officially been released from prison after being locked up for two years. The news first broke on social media after Gucci’s longtime girlfriend Keyshia Ka’oir posted photos of her and Gucci together again on Snapchat. It’s currently unclear how Gucci was able to get out on Thursday because his original release date was scheduled for September.

Troy Ave has been arrested following the deadly shooting at the T.I. concert Wednesday night at NYC’s Irving Plaza. The NYPD confirmed his arrest in a tweet, saying he had been charged with attempted murder and criminal possession of a weapon.

Beyoncé and Jay Z are reportedly getting ready to release a surprise joint album on Tidal. According to a report from Page Six, the album is finished after a top-secret recording process, and it is likely to appear on Tidal very soon. The album will reportedly address the cheating allegations made on Bey’s LEMONADE. “Jay and Beyoncé were never going to do an interview to address all the questions that came up after ‘Lemonade.’ It’s more their style to respond through music,” a source told the publication.

Although any report from Page Six should be taken with a grain of salt, this does go along with a previous report from US Weekly. In early May, the magazine published a report claiming that Jay Z’s upcoming album would be a response to LEMONADE. A previous Page Six report also alleged that the couple developed the LEMONADE storyline together, and that a response album was always part of their plan. Jay Z has been seen in the studio recently, so it’s been speculated for a while now that he’s working on something. Whether or not this was the couple’s alleged joint album remains to be seen.

LEMONADE sparked cheating rumors due to the lyrics in a number of songs, most notably on “Don’t Hurt Yourself.” “This is your final warning/You know I give you life/If you try this shit again you gon’ lose your wife,” Bey sings. If these reports are to be believed, then we are on the verge of getting our first Jay Z album since 2013’s Magna Carta Holy Grail, and our first joint album by the couple ever. Keep your eyes peeled for more information about this potentially dynamite collaboration.

looks like Lil Wayne’s beef with Cash Money might not be as over as we thought after he cursed out the label during a concert in Denver, Colorado on Saturday. In a brief video shot by a fan, Wayne can be heard saying “Fuck the bullshit” and “Fuck Cash Money” at Denver’s 420 Rally and getting the crowd to chant the phrases back at him.

This comes as a bit of a surprise, considering the great lengths Wayne and Birdman have gone through so far in 2016 to bring their label infighting back under wraps. They met up at Drake’s New Year’s Eve party in Miami, reportedly spent several hours on the phone together after that meeting, and even hit the studio in January. Drake and Nicki Minaj were reportedly working behind the scenes to bring peace to the whole ordeal.

Of course, the fragile peace agreement has been living in the shadows of the $51 million lawsuit Wayne filed against Cash Money in January 2015. He refused to drop the suit, even after he seemed to patch things up with Birdman. It’s unclear what caused this apparent rift to open back up, but it’s certainly possible it has something to do with the ongoing legal drama.

It’s not the only lawsuit Wayne is involved in, either. In March, he brought a $40 million lawsuit against Universal Music Group, alleging that the company improperly withheld profits stemming from the success of Drake, Nicki, and Tyga in order to pay back debt Cash Money had accrued. Cash Money only owns 51 percent of Young Money—with the rest being held by Wayne—and as such, Wayne claims that he was entitled to a cut of the cash that was used to pay down Cash Money’s debt.

With so much of their legal situation still unsettled, it’s definitely possible we’ll see even more drama between Wayne and Cash Money in the future. In the meantime, you can check out the video of him cursing out the label below.
