The life and times of Jeffrey Dahmer, one of America’s most-documented serial killers, has captured the attention of millions once again thanks to Ryan Murphy‘s wildly popular Netflix series, ‘Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story.’

Beyond garnering a record number of viewers since its September 21 release, it’s also spurred a firestorm of controversy and conversation on social media with commenters ranging from everyday people to politicians, sports stars, entertainment celebrities, and more.

Among the latter is R&B singer Lyfe Jennings, who took to Instagram Monday (October 3) to recount his alleged experience with Dahmer when the two were in prison at the same time in 1992 – even claiming to have sung a requested tune for the infamous murderer he referred to as “the little homie.”

Met with mostly negative responses, from some claiming the unsolicited tale was pure fiction to some suggesting it was insensitive or clout-chasing, Jennings (born Chester Jermaine Jennings) returned to IG shortly after to hit back at detractors.

Azealia Banks is all sorts of renowned for sounding off with her opinions about everything – including her peers.

Even while shopping.

Case in point her weigh-in on the seemingly daily feuds erupting between many female rappers of late on social media.

Specifically, on the mind, it appears, was this week’s spar between Cardi B and JT from the City Girls.

As reported, the ladies locked horns and jabs flew like fireworks on the 4th of July.

The shenanigans saw various fan groups roped into the fray and Cardi and foe Nicki Minaj (who appeared to make her opinions known, albeit subtly) engage in clear back-and-forth.

Head below to see what Ms. Banks, who was shopping in Home Depot at the time, had to say…

Ari Lennox ushers in cuffing season with the video for her aptly titled new single ‘POF.’

Serving as a continuation of sorts from the ‘Hoodie’ visual, Lennox’s latest offering sees her lean into the title of the song (which is an acronym for ‘plenty of fish’) and its lyrical narrative about searching for “the one.”

Rapper Isaiah Rashad makes another appearance in the clip, which showcases the R&B songbird on a string of unsuccessful dates…until a unique encounter sets the wheels in motion for a dramatic twist.

‘POF’ is lifted from Lennox’s critically-acclaimed sophomore album ‘age/sex/location’ – which is also home to the Gold-certified ‘Pressure.’

Diddy is undeniably one of the most successful and revered figures to emerge from the Hip-Hip scene. However, equally undeniable is the narrative that has trailed said success. A narrative centered around payment – or the lack thereof – of artists he once championed.

Appearing on The Breakfast Club today to promote his many ventures (including a return to music with Love Records and single ‘Gotta Move On’), the mogul seized the moment to (attempt to) set the record straight about what he intimates is misconceptions perpetuated by disgruntled artists he once rocked with.
