00:16with an update on Doja Cat vs the Barbz. Recall earlier this week we told you that the fan base

00:21came after Doja following some alleged shading from the rapper. Well recently Doja took to

00:26Instagram to celebrate her track Say So going platinum. A user commented on the post saying

00:31apologize to Barbz are you over? To which Doja responded Nikki taught me that when you don't

00:36have anything to say to someone you say thank you thank you. To 6ix9ine now because his social media

00:41trolling seems to be working in his favor. The rapper's album Dummy Boy is reportedly up 25% in

00:47the U.S. unit sales following his release from prison. So by the looks of it his music career

00:52didn't die when he got locked up as some predicted. And while Tekashi is enjoying his early release

00:57YNW Melly is being denied his. TMZ reports a judge shot down Melly's request to get out despite the

01:04rapper allegedly testing positive for the virus. According to the site the judge said if Melly

01:10needs special medical treatment while he's in jail he can request it from the Broward Sheriff's Office.

01:15But okay let's switch gears to someone we really talk about in these roundups Kanye West. The rapper

01:27Ye told the mag I was thinking of not rapping again because I rapped for the devil for so long

01:31that I didn't even know how to rap for God. From there he explained one of his pastors told him

01:35that his son wanted an album about Jesus and somehow that made the difference in his life.

01:40And when it comes to Ye's thoughts on Kobe he told the mag that Bryant was a basketball version of

01:45himself and he was the rap version of Bryant. Kanye also explained that he is now looking at everyone in his

01:51life as members of one of Kobe's championship teams and they all have to come together to win.

01:56And lastly let's talk about KSI because yesterday I spoke to the rapper about his new album
