The Notorious B.I.G. Allegedly Apologized for Xscape Diss Before Death, Says Tiny Harris
In an interview with The Morning Hustle on Wednesday, April 30, Tameka "Tiny" Harris and Kandi Burruss of the R&B girl group recalled how the rapper — born Christopher George Latore Wallace and also known as Biggie Smalls — apologized to them before his death after previously insulting their looks on his 1994 single "Just Playing (Dreams)."
On the track, Biggie hurled insults and named the sexual acts he wanted to engage in with several celebrities, including Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Jasmine Guy and Xscape.

"I'll f--- RuPaul before I f--- them ugly-a-- Xscape bitches," he raps on the track.
According to Harris, 49, and Burruss, 48, Biggie allegedly apologized at a 1997 Soul Train Awards afterparty.
'Somebody came, I don't know if it was Diddy, somebody came and said, 'Biggie wanna speak to y'all,'' said Harris. 'I was just like, 'I'm going to see what he's talking about.''
She added: 'And you know, he was very nice, he was very apologetic and he basically said, 'I don't know what I was thinking. Look, I'm ugly as hell. Y'all is beautiful, and I just wanted to say I apologize for whatever.''
According to Harris, the most shocking part was that Biggie allegedly died 'probably 20, 30 minutes after that.'
'It was great to hear that he acknowledged that he was wrong," she concluded.

Biggie was killed when he was 24 years old, but he had already established himself as a rap legend.
The Brooklyn-born musician released his debut album Ready to Die in 1994 and posthumously released Life After Death in 1997. The latter is one of the only hip-hop albums to sell 10 million copies and reach diamond status.
On March 9, 1997, Biggie was leaving a Soul Train Awards afterparty when he was shot and killed by an assailant in a black Chevy Impala.
His murder is closely linked to the killing of fellow '90s hip-hop superstar Tupac Shakur, as the two were involved in a battle where Biggie represented the East Coast and Tupac the West.

Alyssa Farah Griffin on Harris's Colbert appearance: ‘Everything that's wrong with Democrats'
Former White House aide and 'The View' co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin weighed in on former Vice President Kamala Harris's appearance on Stephen Colbert's 'The Late Show,' arguing the interview, her first since losing to President Trump in the 2024 election, represents everything that is 'wrong' with Democrats since the November presidential race. 'I was struck by, I'm going to try not be too harsh on this. This interview felt like a microcosm of everything that's wrong with Democrats post-election. I'm going to CBS and this sort of trying to make a point that they fired Stephen Colbert, which many on the left called an attack on democracy, a man who was making $20 million a year, someone I hold in high esteem, but the economics of his show were not working,' Farah Griffin said during her Saturday morning appearance on CNN. 'He was losing $40 million a year. He was in the Ed Sullivan Theater, which is expensive, to talk about the plight of democracy at CBS, a network that's having its own struggles right now, rather than talking about the economics of the situation and playing to something a shrinking audience that is network television, not realizing it's not where the American voters are,' 'The View' co-host said while on CNN's 'Table For Five.' CBS announced in mid-July that it is nixing 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,' ending its run in May 2026, arguing it was a 'financial decision.' Harris's appearance on the late-night show was her first interview since losing to Trump in the last Oval Office race, an appearance where she promoted her upcoming book '107 Days,' which will detail her short-lived presidential campaign. The former vice president, who announced on Wednesday that she will not jump into the 2026 California gubernatorial race, further elaborated on her decision. 'I don't want to go back into the system. I think it's broken. I want to travel the country. I want to listen to people, I want to talk with people. And I don't want it to be transactional, where I'm asking for their vote,' Harris told Colbert, who criticized CBS and its parent company, Paramount Global, for pulling the plug. When asked on the Thursday show who should be the leader of the Democratic Party, as it deals with plummeting approval numbers and looks to spark more enthusiasm, the vice president argued that it would be a mistake to put 'it on the shoulders of any one person.' 'It's really on all of our shoulders,' she said. Farah Griffin, who has been critical of Trump and said late last year that she voted for Harris during the 2024 election cycle, stated on CNN that 'It felt like if everyone who was advising her [Harris], told her this was a good idea, that is not where I would have made the grand come back … it's like announcing your exploratory committee on the sinking deck of The Titanic.'

Charlamagne tha God names surprising 2028 presidential suggestion
Charlamagne tha God is known for making waves as a prominent talk show host — and is pushing for a fellow entertainer to run for president in 2028. The popular face of "The Breakfast Club" radio show suggested "The Daily Show" star Jon Stewart should run as the Democratic Party's candidate in the 2028 presidential election during an appearance on "My View with Lara Trump." "This is going to sound ridiculous, probably, coming from me," he told Fox News host Lara Trump. "I would love to see Jon Stewart run in 2028." Charlamagne emphasized Democrats' need for a "change agent" after former Vice President Kamala Harris' loss to President Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election, and that Stewart could help the party broaden its base. "If we're talking about a change agent coming from the outside that's really going to shake things up, and somebody that I feel like can speak to all people… he's a celebrity who actually knows what they're talking about," he said. "We've seen him get legislation and stuff passed before — like, we know where his heart is." "He'd be somebody I'd like to see really get in the race and disrupt things in 2028." Charlamagne suggested that "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" host Stephen Colbert should run alongside Stewart on this hypothetical ticket, explaining that he's "not going to have a job." CBS revealed on July 17 that the show would be ending in May 2026, calling the plan to terminate it "purely a financial decision against a challenging backdrop in late night," per a public statement. Elsewhere in the wide-ranging interview, Charlamagne advised Democrats to look to their governors for other possible 2028 candidates, including Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro and Maryland Gov. Wes Moore. "They actually have a track record, right?" he said. "You can go look at their states to see what they're probably going to end up doing on a national level." The headline-making personality also did not rule out a Republican candidate earning his vote in the next presidential election. He cited former South Carolina Gov. and former U.S. Amb. to the United Nations Nikki Haley as someone who he would consider supporting. "Traditional conservatives are going to take the Republican Party back," he said in part. Charlamagne also reviewed Trump's first six months in office, predicted Harris' political future and discussed New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani's policy proposals and whether he agrees with socialism. Watch Fox News host Lara Trump's full interview with Charlamagne tha God on "My View with Lara Trump" on Saturday, Aug. 2, at 9 p.m. ET.

We Finally Got a Madonna Biopic Update and...It's Complicated
For anyone still wondering whatever happened to that long-rumored Madonna biopic—yes, it's still happening. Sort of. Maybe. According to Julia Garner, the project is alive… it's just taking its sweet time. During a recent appearance on the SmartLess podcast with Jason Bateman, Will Arnett and Sean Hayes, Garner confirmed that the highly anticipated film is 'supposed to still happen.' Garner has been attached to the Madonna role since 2022, hot off her run as Anna Delvey in Netflix's Inventing Anna. At the time, multiple outlets reported she was the pop icon's top pick after a competitive audition process that involved intense dance training—and performing in front of Madonna herself. 'It just came about… I knew they were making a movie about her and I went out to audition,' Garner explained of how she nabbed the role. 'I kind of just wanted to see if I could do it.' Her approach? Channel Madonna's own energy. 'I asked myself what Madonna would do—which is like, convince you she deserves to be in this room,' she said. 'And I owned it.' The biopic faced setbacks along the way. In early 2023, Variety reported that Universal had pulled back on development. Still, Madonna and Garner remained in touch. They were photographed together at Steven Klein's birthday party in May 2023, and in December of that year, Garner even joined Madonna onstage during a stop on her Brooklyn tour. Kevin Mazur/WireImage for Live Natio By July 2024, Madonna had shared that work on the script was back on, teasing a working title: Who's That Girl—a clear nod to her 1987 film and hit single of the same name. Then, in May 2025, Deadline reported that the project may have taken a new form entirely: a limited series at Netflix, now with Deadpool & Wolverine director Shawn Levy attached. So, yes, the Madonna story is still coming. But whether it's a movie, a series or something else entirely… we'll just have to wait and see. Stay tuned.
