Pardison "Pardi" Fontaine and Megan Thee Stallion attends 40/40 Club Celebrates 18-Year Anniversary With Star-Studded Event at 40 / 40 Club on Aug. 28, 2021 in New York City.
Shareif Ziyadat/GI for 40/40 ClubPardison Fontaine took to social media on Tuesday to firmly deny any rumors of trouble in paradise with Megan Thee Stallion.
Gossip started circulating that the couple could be on the outs after the Something for Thee Hotties rapper had removed any trace of her longtime beau on social media — one-year anniversary gifts included — opting to fill her feed instead with graduation photos, her 2021 recap and teases of “Lick,” her upcoming collaboration with Shenseea that drops Friday. The Internet has also run wild with unverified abuse rumors, saying that Megan has physically lashed out at Fontaine when she’s drunk — rumors that Pardi shot down.
“Stop this cap nobody puttin hands on nobody …(At least not in that way ),” the Grammy-winning rapper/producer wrote in a message posted to his Instagram Story. “Been seein the break up rumors and was lettin y’all imaginations run ..but y’all gettin too crazy ….ain’t give n—as a story so they made one … we really been on it double time.”
He punctuated the since-deleted post with a fingers-crossed emoji and padlock.
Megan remains a steady fixture on Fontaine’s Instagram grid. In December, he shared a sweet, celebratory picture from the sidelines of her graduation ceremony at Texas Southern University, and weeks prior, he posted a photo of the couple together comparing himself and his famous girlfriend to a vintage snap of DMX and Aaliyah. (Meg commented “My baby” on the latter.)
Meanwhile, on Wednesday (Jan. 19), the “WAP” rapper shared a sneak peek at her upcoming Super Bowl ad for Flamin’ Hot Cheetos featuring some very random questions about sloth allergies.

There is no question that Clipse’s Let God Sort Em Out made a serious impact and continues to hold weight. The project showed that hip hop is not limited by age and proved that a long-awaited return can still land in a major way regardless of the time away.
If you need a reminder, the Virginia duo’s fourth studio album debuted comfortably within the top five of the Hot 200. It secured the number four position and moved an impressive 118,000 units in its first week.
On top of that, it picked up a win at this year’s Grammys, earning Best Rap Performance for “Chains & Whips.” The album also received four additional nominations, including Best Music Video, Rap Album, and Album of the Year.
It is hard to believe the project will officially hit its one year mark this summer on July 11. Even so, Pusha T is making it clear that both supporters and critics should not be overlooking it anytime soon.
While performing at Coachella yesterday, King Push told the crowd that LGSEO still sits at the top, regardless of genre.
He said, “‘Let God Sort Em Out’ is still the album of the motherfckin year. Whole new year, still album of the year,” per Kurrco. “Album of the motherfcking year until we drop again. We don't care who dropping. It don't matter.”
That is a strong statement for obvious reasons, especially considering the recent claims surrounding Push himself.
Over the same weekend, hip hop social media lit up after several alleged reference tracks connected to Quentin Miller and Push began circulating. Three tracks surfaced in total, but one that drew the most attention was an alleged record titled “Real Gon’ Come.” It is said to come from the DAYTONA era, around 2017 to 2018.
The situation gained traction because fans remember the past tension between Drake and Pusha T before Drake’s clash with Kendrick Lamar. During that feud, Pusha accused Drake of using ghostwriters on tracks like “Infrared,” which appears on DAYTONA. On that song, he raps, “The bigger question is how the Russians did it /
It was written like Nas, but it came from Quentin.”
Reactions have been mixed. Some people argue it is not a major issue since Miller’s alleged contributions were limited to hooks. Others point out that the songs were never officially released, so they see no real problem. Meanwhile, critics view it as clear hypocrisy on Pusha T’s part, a perspective that DJ Akademiks has also supported.
