Welcome back to Celeb Source, your one-stop source for raw, real, and unfiltered celebrity news. Today’s rundown is absolutely loaded—hip-hop royalty is in full effect, and the drama is spilling from every coast. Snoop Dogg just fired off a controversial take about Eminem’s place in rap history, Doja Cat gives a raw health update, TI and Jeezy address the elephant in the trap room (hint: Gucci Mane), Raekwon’s “Purple Tape” gets a revival, and 50 Cent is ready to square up over a legal mess in the Philippines. Buckle up. Here’s a 1200-word deep dive into the madness.

Snoop Dogg Snubs Eminem from His Top 10—And He’s Not Apologizing

First up, the Doggfather himself, Snoop Dogg, made headlines after a candid appearance on The Breakfast Club with Charlamagne Tha God, Angela Yee, and DJ Envy. When the topic of his Top 10 rappers came up, Snoop dropped jaws by stating Eminem doesn’t make his list—and it wasn’t even close.

Snoop made his case bluntly. While recognizing that Eminem is considered a legend by many, Snoop pointed out that hip-hop has a deep and rich history, especially in the 1980s, filled with pioneers who paved the way long before Eminem picked up a mic. Snoop name-dropped Rakim, Big Daddy Kane, KRS-One, LL Cool J, Ice Cube, and others, essentially saying that the culture was already solidified with Black legends before Eminem’s rise.

And then came the fire line: Eminem is the “great white hope” of rap, according to Snoop—highlighting the racial dynamics that have always colored Eminem’s place in hip-hop culture.

Make no mistake—Snoop did give Em his flowers. But he stood firm: “Too many greats came before.” In an industry where everybody’s somebody’s fan, Snoop’s opinion was unusually fearless. Whether you agree or not, he said what most won’t.

Ghostwriting: Snoop Admits Jay-Z Wrote “Still Dre”—And That’s Okay

If that wasn’t enough tea, Snoop went on to talk about ghostwriting in hip-hop, another long-taboo subject.

Snoop recalled a time when he and the legendary D.O.C. were struggling to pen a track for Dr. Dre. After days of hitting a creative wall, Dre flew in a writer from New York who had the verse done in 30 minutes flat. That writer? Jay-Z. The track? “Still Dre.”

The admission came with no shame. In fact, Snoop said if your pen game outshines his for a particular track, he’s not going to hate. “I’m going to commend you… then go back to the drawing board and try to outdo you.”

In a genre where authenticity often means writing your own rhymes, Snoop’s words were refreshingly mature. The bottom line for him? Good music > ego.

Doja Cat Contracts COVID, Dismisses Concerns Like a True Rebel

Next up, Doja Cat, queen of chaos, is back in the news—but not for a music release or scandalous tweet. This time, it’s health-related.

Back when COVID-19 was ravaging the globe, Doja made headlines for mocking the virus and its severity. Karma, or irony, caught up with her when she contracted the virus herself. Now, she’s giving fans a peek into her symptoms.

Her take? “I couldn’t taste bacon and my legs hurt.”

No respiratory issues, but her body had a fever for two days, which she said was her immune system trying to kill off the virus. Doja’s tone was as flippant as ever. When asked if she was scared of the virus, she flatly said, “Never was. That’s why I got it in the first place.”

Not exactly the model of public health responsibility, Doja was quickly dragged by fans for her cavalier attitude. One commenter clapped back, saying her behavior put immuno-compromised people at risk. Her response? “Never said to go out, just said I got it ’cause I didn’t give a f—.”

Selfish? Maybe. Honest? Definitely.

TI & Jeezy Try to Squash Trap Music’s Biggest Beef—With Gucci Mane

Meanwhile, TI and Jeezy are working overtime to unite trap music’s holy trinity—with Gucci Mane as the third piece of the puzzle.

On TI’s Expeditiously podcast, the two OGs tackled the issue head-on. TI openly addressed “the elephant in the room,” acknowledging that Gucci is an integral part of trap history—but one neither of them has spoken to much.

TI wants a sit-down. Jeezy agrees, but says it needs to happen in a back room, Mafia-style, with real talk. They’re calling for reconciliation, not just for personal peace, but for the culture.

Jeezy even shared that he once had sushi with Gucci and that the peace process was “close” until Gucci got locked up and the talks went silent.

Could a Gucci–TI–Jeezy collaboration or reunion actually happen? The ball is in Gucci’s court now. But if it does happen, it would be the biggest unity move in trap history—possibly opening the door for a new generation of artists to follow suit.

Raekwon’s “Purple Tape” Gets 25th Anniversary Reissue + Documentary

Let’s shift from trap to classic Wu-Tang. Raekwon the Chef is bringing back one of hip-hop’s most legendary albums: “Only Built 4 Cuban Linx”, better known as the Purple Tape.

To celebrate the 25th anniversary, Raekwon is reissuing the album on vinyl—with instrumentals included. But that’s not all.

Raekwon also revealed that he initially wanted to release a short movie alongside the album, but the label laughed at him. Fast forward to 2025, and he’s doing it anyway—with a documentary titled “The Purple Tape Files.”

This upcoming doc will highlight missed opportunities and ideas that never saw the light of day back in the ’90s. According to Raekwon, the time is now, and fans old and new will get a deeper glimpse into what made this album an all-time classic.

For those who don’t know, the Purple Tape is essential listening. If you’ve never heard it, stop reading and press play. Just don’t blame us if your brain melts.

50 Cent Caught in Philippine Legal Drama—And He’s Pissed

Finally, in a twist no one saw coming, 50 Cent has found himself named in court papers tied to a legal dispute between a Philippine promoter and a Las Vegas talent buyer.

Fif took to Instagram, furious that his name was even involved. He wrote:
“Got my name all in this bulls—. I got nothing to do with this loser. He just work at a place we perform at. I can’t wait to run into him now though.”

Yikes. When 50 says he “can’t wait to run into” you, that’s not a brunch invitation. Somebody’s definitely hiding out right now.

Final Thoughts: Legends, Legacy & the Loudmouths

Whether it’s Snoop Dogg critiquing Eminem, TI trying to heal decades-old beef, or Raekwon rewriting hip-hop history, the culture is alive and kicking. Add in Doja Cat’s COVID chaos and 50 Cent’s international rage, and you’ve got a week that defines the unpredictability of hip-hop in 2025.

So, we’ve got some questions for YOU:

Is Eminem in your Top 10?

Is ghostwriting acceptable if the final product bangs?

Can TI, Jeezy, and Gucci ever share a studio again?
