As reported here, Hip Hop hitmakers Tory Lanez and Megan The Stallion found themselves riding atop headlines after being swarmed by police over the weekend because of the former’s reportedly illegal gun ownership.

Causing quite the commotion in the Hollywood Hills, local law enforcement descended upon the duo after someone called in shots being fired and described the assailant’s vehicle as one that matched Lanez’.

While neither Tory nor Megan have spoken publicly about the incident since it first made waves, newly surfaced footage of the terrifying incident may encourage them to speak out.

Tiwa Savage is wasting no time igniting new single ‘Dangerous Love.’

Issued as the first offering from the Afrobeats diva’s new album ‘CELIA,’ the track’s accompanying video arrived moments ago.

The song and its parent LP stand as Savage’s first internationally serviced releases and are helmed by UMG labels Island/Motown.

Speaking on the track, Savage said:

“Dangerous Love is such a vibe! It’s a song that is basically about a girl who is dipping in and out of a ‘relationship’ with a guy that really doesn’t deserve her time or attention. She knows that he is bad for her but she gambling with her heart anyway. I feel like every girl and maybe guys too can relate to this one.”

6ix9ine and Nicki Minaj‘s ‘Trollz’ continues to pencil itself in Hot 100 history books.

In the following week, ‘Trollz’ entered record books for the largest fall for a #1 debut when it plummeted out of the top 30 – a downward trajectory that’s shown no signs of stalling as the song’s dropped over 25 rungs each week since its chart entry.

The most refreshed edition of the hit-list logs the tune at #83 in its 4th week and signals a worrying trend that could see it slip out of the Hot 100 all together by next week.
