Billboard & Vibe Staffers React to Allegations Made Against Jay-Z | Billboard Unfiltered

In today’s the 25th episode of Billboard Unfiltered, Billboard staffers Kyle Denis and Carl Lamarre are joined by Vibe‘s Regina Cho and Amber Corinne. Together, they dissect Billboard’s 10 Hottest Female Rappers of 2024, discuss who fell off the list, share their personal favorites and explain why each rapper earned her ranking. They also react to Jay-Z’s assault allegations, his response and more.

Carl Lamarre:

I wouldn’t be surprised if he goes from 10 to one. 

Kyle Denis:

Oh, you’re predicting it?

Regina Cho:

I personally feel like the girlies were kind of just like, “OK the boys are fighting. I want to have fun. Like pack it up, like, please. Where’s Latto? Where’s Glo? Let’s go on tour, let’s wear our cheetah prints.”

Amber Corinne:

I do think that Jay-Z might have known that this was coming and that’s why the response was so quick. I do believe it might’ve been prepared already.

Carl Lamarre:

Yo , yo, yo. What’s going on, y’all? Welcome to a fresh episode of Billboard Unfiltered, No. 25! What it do? What it do? It may look a little different because we fired some cads, but we got some fresh superstars. Brother Kyle is still in the building.

Kyle Denis:

I try to stay in the building.

Regina Cho:

You kept the job.

Carl Lamarre:

I’m still here. But no, we have two amazing superstars representing Vibe magazine. To my left, Ms. Amber Corrine, news staff writer, a beast all across. Make sure y’all see her interviews with the Rhythm + Flow cast.

Amber Corinne:

Go watch that.

Carl Lamarre:

Ms. Latto, Luda, DJ Khaled. We have … can I say an award winning? Can I do that?

Regina Cho:

Oh my goodness, I was not prepared for this.

Carl Lamarre:

An award winning podcast. She is also the associate news editor for Vibe magazine, Ms. Regina Cho. 

Regina Cho:

Hello Carl, look at us podding together!

Keep watching for more!
