Ugly God Accused Killing Father of Best Friend
Allegations have surfaced accusing Ugly God (birth name Royce Cornell Davison-Rodriguez) of a fatal shooting involving his best friend’s father. The incident, which took place over a month ago, claimed the life of Renaldo Delavallade in Gulfport, Mississippi.
Local authorities received a late-night call about a shooting but arrived too late to provide assistance to the injured party. The 50-year-old victim was found lifeless inside a car. Police Chief Adam Cooper confirmed that they have a suspect in custody, but has not disclosed any further information.
A woman named Tishia, claiming to be related to the victim, took to social media with a series of TikToks, implicating Ugly God in the crime. Tishia also posted a case report which identifies the 26-year-old rapper as a potential suspect, alleging he used a small caliber handgun in the crime. Additionally, she suggests that his connections will prevent any legal repercussions, despite him allegedly bragging about his participation in the crime.
“Hi, my name is Renaldo BUGGIE Delavallade,” she captioned the first of two tribute videos. “I was 50 years old when I was murdered by my sons best friend 06-29-2023..At the home I live at with his mother and my wife, and two of our sons. There was an argument the night before that included his mom, Rhonda Reese and Safina Dedeaux my wife. Whom stood by and was present at the whole shooting [four suspicious emojis].”
“After that argument the night before.I removed all my clothes and was proceeding on with my life. I was lured back to the house the next day.By [telling] me my 11 year old was being put out. I knew , I was in danger going there, so I did not get out of the car at all. I felt the danger and tried to avoid it.
“I spoke to Royce, the UGLY GOD sitting in the front of the [house] in my car where his mother later walked out to throw her [Gasoline] on [the] situation. After i though the conversation was over , I was leaving.I was pulling off in my car where he shot me 4 times in the face.I never seen it coming.”
“This was surely in Royce Davisons , UGLY GOD Feo Rodriguez’s on Facebook [three suspicious emojis] [He] changes his name [daily]. But that was his plan from the beginning. He claimed self Defense so that his Uncle Damon Reese.That is currently a judge and currently running now would make sure he is free. But what he didnt know is that regardless what was portrayed or what he though.
“My 3 sisters and Brother would never let this go under the Radar as they ( ALL Of ThEM) planned !!!! [three suspicious emojis] HE REALLY THOUGH I WAS A NOBODY!!!! I am Renaldo DeLavallade.”

Diddy has unveiled the official release date for his upcoming album, “The Love Album: Off the Grid.” The founder of Bad Boy Records took to Instagram on Tuesday (August 22), declaring that his first independent album in nearly two decades will be released on September 15.
The upcoming project, slated for launch under his new Love Records imprint, marks Puff’s first solo venture in more than 15 years, succeeding his 2006 album, “Press Play.”
The cinematic trailer for the album featured cameos from many big names including The Weeknd, 21 Savage, Busta Rhymes, Justin Bieber, French Montana, Mary J. Blige, DJ Khaled, Swae Lee and Summer Walker. Other potential features were hinted in the Instagram post, tagging Yung Miami, Babyface, Teyana Taylor and Jozzy.
In May 2022, the iconic music exec. launched Love Records. The label’s inaugural release was singer/songwriter Jozzy’s “Songs For Women, Free Game For N-ggas,” which was released back in February.
“Music has always been my first love, Love Records is the next chapter is about getting back to the love and making the best music of my life.”
“For the label, I’m focused on creating timeless R&B music with the next generation of artists and producers. Motown is the perfect partner for my album and I’m excited to add to its legacy.”
Diddy further explained his “Love” era and why his new record label would be focused on R&B during an interview with Vanity Fair in August 2021.
“[The ‘Love’ era is about] my people taking time to feel like it’s all right to love,” he said. “Take time to huddle up your tribe, take time to communicate and know your power. Take time to heal. [Taking care of] yourself without feeling like, oh, you’re going to be labeled a racist now because you talk about taking care of yourself.”
“I feel like R&B was abandoned and it’s a part of our African-American culture. And I’m not signing any artists. Because if you know better, you do better. I’m doing 50–50 partnerships with pure transparency. That’s the thing. [The new label is so that] we can own the genre.”
“We don’t own Hip Hop right now. We have a chance to — and I’m going to make sure that we own R&B.”
Three singles from “The Love Album: Off The Grid” by Diddy have since been released. These include “Act Bad” featuring City Girls and Fabolous, “Gotta Move On” a collaboration with Bryson Tiller, and “Sex in the Porsche“, which sees PARTYNEXTDOOR lending his talents.
News has surfaced that Lauryn Hill will embark on a tour accompanied by The Fugees, celebrating a quarter-century since the release of her debut, classic album, “The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill.”
The news was announced this past Tuesday (August 22), confirming that the globally acclaimed Grammy artist will perform in numerous locations, similar to her tour in 2018, which commemorated the album’s 20-year milestone.
This monumental tour, courtesy of L Boogie, is set to commence on September 28 in Minneapolis, Minnesota, followed by other major cities including New York, Philadelphia, Toronto, Chicago, and Los Angeles, before wrapping up in Seattle on November 9. The Fugees will be tour’s opening act, with Jamaican reggae artist Koffee making appearances at several spots as well.
Simultaneously, the tour marks the first time Lauryn Hill, Wyclef Jean, and Pras Michel will tour as a group in many years. They initially intended to tour in 2021 to celebrate the 25th anniversary of their first album “The Score,” but this was later called off due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Despite the cancellation, the New Jersey trio managed to reunite on stage at The Roots Picnic in Philadelphia this past June.
In a recent press release, Lauryn stated;
“The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill is and was a love song to my parents, my family, my people, my musical and cultural forebears, my teachers, my loves, my Creator.”
“I wrote love songs and protest songs— (still love songs) about the subjects and interests that inspired and moved me. I was confident that what inspired me would resonate with an audience that had been led to believe that songs of that kind could only live in the past.”
“I loved music, I loved people, I truly felt grateful to God for my life, and genuinely blessed to have a platform where I could share wisdom and perspective through music.”
“I felt a charge to challenge the idea that certain kinds of expression and/or certain kinds of people didn’t belong in certain places. I loved showing what could work or happen provided there was imagination, creativity and LOVE leading the way.”

Hip-Hop icons Cam’ron and Ma$e just secured the bag for their ‘It Is What Is‘ sports talk show. The iconic duo disclosed on Monday (August 21) that they have finalized a lucrative eight-figure contract with Underdog Fantasy.
Underdog Fantasy is known for not shying away from contentious collaborations, as they previously partnered with ex-NBA athlete Gilbert Arenas for his audacious podcast, ‘Gil’s Arena.’
Back in March, Cam’ron set forth the requirements for possible agreements, stating that they should present something he doesn’t already possess.
“A lot of n-ggas hollerin’ at me to try and buy my show or make my show a part of what they’re doing. And listen, I appreciate the love, I appreciate the interest and everything else. This is fully funded by me. I didn’t go get no help. I ain’t got no partners. I ain’t got no bank.”
“They came and did all this shit and y’all gonna have to offer something I ain’t got. Now you don’t know what I got, but you could assume what I got. I’m not gon’ be unreasonable but you gotta be fair. But right now, with the time being, we gon’ have fun.”
The collaboration with Underdog will kick off in September, right in time for the football season, with an agreement that spans 18 months. Despite the move, fans can still catch the vibrant discussions on the show’s original platform, the ‘Come and Talk 2 Me‘ YouTube page.
