Spill the Tea Newsletter – February 20, 2025
Welcome to Spill the Tea – Your Daily Fix of Headlines and Hip-Hop Happenings! Buckle up, because today’s tea is hot and spilling over! From courtroom dramas to rap rivalries, celebrity legal woes to major sports shake-ups, we’ve got all the buzz you need. Let’s get into it!
?? Ja Rule’s Emotional Farewell to Irv Gotti
The hip-hop world is mourning the loss of Irv Gotti, the powerhouse behind Murder Inc., who passed away at 54 following a stroke. At his funeral in New York, longtime friend and collaborator Ja Rule broke down in tears delivering a heartfelt eulogy. The service was a who’s who of the industry—Jay-Z, Ashanti, Fat Joe—all paying their respects.
Ashanti spoke on unresolved issues with Gotti, wishing things had ended differently. But in true 50 Cent fashion, he kept the decades-old beef alive, posting less than kind remarks about Gotti even in his passing. Messy, messy, messy.
?? Trippie Redd Claps Back at Coi Leray’s Cheating Allegations
Trippie Redd and Coi Leray’s breakup just got real public. After Coi put him on blast for allegedly being unfaithful, Trippie hopped on social media with a cryptic (and kinda shady) message: “To every [expletive] I ever did wrong, I’ll do it again.” Well, that’s one way to respond.
Fans are divided—some are backing Coi, while others say Trippie’s just keeping it real. Either way, we’ll be watching to see if this turns into another rap breakup anthem.
?? Drake Takes an L—Kendrick Outperforms Him Yet Again
Drake’s latest album $ome $exy $ongs 4 U isn’t hitting the way he probably hoped. The numbers are in, and let’s just say Kendrick Lamar’s latest project is outshining Drizzy by far. The two have had an unspoken (and sometimes spoken) rivalry for years, but this time, Kendrick takes the crown.
Could this spark another lyrical showdown? We’re all ears for another round of subliminals and diss tracks!
?? Blake Lively & Ryan Reynolds Face $400M Legal Drama
Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds are not having a good time right now. Blake is accusing Jane the Virgin actor Justin Baldoni of harassment, while he’s turned around and hit them with a $400 million lawsuit. Blake says the whole ordeal has traumatized her kids and left her feeling unsafe, while Ryan is reportedly dealing with major stress behind the scenes.
We’re used to seeing this couple crack jokes on social media, but something tells us they won’t be laughing about this one anytime soon.
?? Doechii’s Star Is Rising—Watch This Space!
If you don’t have Doechii on your radar yet, you need to. The rising rap star is bringing a fresh mix of 90s hip-hop energy with a Gen-Z twist, and major artists like Kendrick Lamar and Tyler, the Creator are already co-signing her talent.
Her latest mixtape, Alligator Bites Never Heal, is making waves, and her self-choreographed performances are a whole vibe. This girl is on her way to the top, and we’re here for it!
?? Chiefs Players Targeted in $2M Burglary Scheme
NFL players are used to dodging tackles, but some Kansas City Chiefs stars found themselves dodging burglars instead. Seven men have been charged in a string of home invasions targeting Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, and other high-profile athletes. The thieves made off with over $2 million in stolen goods before getting caught.
And speaking of Kelce—word on the street is that his playing days might be numbered. With injuries stacking up and performance dropping, he’s got until mid-March to decide if he’s hanging up his cleats.
Retirement on the horizon? We’ll see!
?? Kentucky Wildcats Serve Up Sweet Revenge on Vanderbilt
The Kentucky Wildcats demolished Vanderbilt 82-61, making up for their previous loss. Even without key players Jaxson Robinson and Lamont Butler, the team showed out.
Collin Chandler and Travis Perry stepped up in a major way, proving that Kentucky’s bench depth could be the key to a deep postseason run. And with a tough matchup against Alabama coming up, we’ll see if they can keep the momentum rolling!
?? Giants’ Offseason Moves—Big Decisions Ahead
The New York Giants are looking at some serious changes this offseason. With the NFL salary cap rising, wide receiver Malik Nabers is calling for the team to add both a rookie and a veteran QB. The Giants also have one of the league’s best 2024 rookie classes—so the pressure is on to make the right moves.
Plus, rumors are swirling about potential free-agent signings, especially at running back. Giants fans, stay tuned—it’s about to get interesting!
? And That’s Your Tea for Today!
From courtroom showdowns to album flops, rap beefs to football break-ins, today’s headlines have given us everything. But don’t worry, we’ll be back tomorrow with more piping-hot tea.
Until then, keep it cute and keep it real!
