Fans Are Tickled By Summer Walker’s Slow-Motion Boxing Workout Video

Although being a musician seems like a much less physically demanding job than, say, being a professional athlete, in many ways, both demand a similar dedication to fitness for a practitioner to really excel. For instance, Lizzo has detailed her strength-training-and-cardio-heavy workout routine a few times (playing flute, dancing, singing, and rapping all require a LOT of lung capacity), while any number of rappers hit the basketball court to stay in shape when they’re not on tour. However, one performer elicited an amused reaction on Twitter when a video of her routine surfaced on social media.

Summer Walker appeared in a video going through a boxing routine at the gym putting in what looks like less than a hundred percent effort as she punches her trainer’s gloves in practically slow motion while being goaded by a friend off-camera who calls her a “grandma” and notes she has a lot of videos to get ready to shoot in coming months. While Summer is generally less dynamic on stage than many peers, her lackadaisical effort amused fans who brought out a wealth of jokes to tease the singer’s uninspired swings.

For what it’s worth, though, it’s only a clip of one workout, so for all we know this could have been a light day, the end of a more vigorous routine, or a warmup before she got into more intensive exercises. Heck, even light or slow activity can be beneficial over time; many trainers will start clients off with light exercises to ease them into tougher workouts down the line. Either way, it seems that Summer is gearing up to get back out into the world with new music and a fitter physique after having her first child and taking music by storm with her first two albums.

A Mysterious Billboard In LA Links Fans To A Cryptic Message From Tyler The Creator

Tyler The Creator has long been known for his unconventional approach to making and promoting his new music, from pretending to eat a roach in the self-produced “Yonkers” video that introduced him to the world, to adopting the Andy Warhol-esque alter ego that marked his Igor era. Now, fans are convinced he’s promoting the follow-up to Igor thanks to a massive pastel billboard in Hollywood leading to a cryptic message from Tyler and — of all people — his mom.

As you can see, the billboard exhorts passersby to “call me if you get lost” with a phone number appended. Dialing the number leads to a recording of Tyler’s mom boasting about her fighting ways. “I’d kill a mothaf*cka over this one right here, n****,” she proclaims. “I’d stand in front of a bullet, on god, over this one. My son used to record me beating *itches’ ass.” Tyler can be heard affirming these statements before she continues, “I would beat your whole family and didn’t give a f*ck. They’d be like, ‘Tyler’s mama crazy. Tyler’s mama crazy.’ Yep. F*ck with my kid. Tyler would be like, ‘Get ’em, mom.’ They’d be like, ‘No, don’t do it.’”

At the very end of the recording, some music starts to play and it’s very much in the mode of the synth-heavy style that has defined Tyler’s music since Cherry Bomb. The conjunction has fans convinced that the rollout to a new Tyler The Creator album has begun, but with Tyler, anything is possible. Check out the audio above.

Dr. Dre & Nicole Young Are Officially Divorced

Dr. Dre and his estranged wife Nicole Young have been in the midst of a bitter divorce battle ever since last year. Throughout this battle, Young has sought to have their prenup voided, and she has even accused the music producer of abuse. Dre has denied all of these claims and has been adamant about the legitimacy of the prenup. In the midst of all of this, the two had filed for an official divorce with the two becoming legally single back in April. Now, a judge has officially ruled in favor of divorce which means Dre and Young are no longer legally married.

While this may be a huge win for both parties, there is still a lot that needs to be worked out right now. It is believed that Dre is worth upwards of $800 million which means if the prenup is voided, Young could be entitled to much of his net worth, and Dre is fighting hard to make sure that doesn’t happen.

Young feels as though the prenup was concocted on illegitimate terms and was made to take advantage of her. Dre and his legal team are adamant that this is not the case, and as it stands, a judge has yet to rule on the matter. However, now that the two are officially divorced, a large piece of the legal puzzle is now off the table.

Stay tuned for updates regarding this story as we will be sure to bring them to you.

Bow Wow Says Angela Simmons Might Be His Soulmate

Rapper and Lottery Ticket actor Bow Wow lit up social media on Sunday when he sent out a shocking declaration. During an #askbow Q&A on Twitter, a fan asked “who was the love of your life out of all the relationships you were in?” referring to his long list of famous “It girl” exes. A list that happens to include Ciara, Blac Chyna, Erica Mena, Joie Chavis, Kiyomi Leslie, and Angela Simmons. 

Bow Wow bluntly responded “None of them.”

The Shade Room caught hold of the tweet on Thursday after it was mentioned on Bow Wow’s appearance on The Breakfast Club Thursday morning. Charlemagne asked Bow Wow if his answer to the fan was really the truth, especially considering his seemingly karmic connection with teenage girlfriend and Growing Up Hip-Hop co-star Angela Simmons. 

After a little probing from Charlemagne, Bow Wow claimed Angela could be his soulmate but he simply isn’t ready to be committed. “That’s my dawg,” he maintains. “Anything she need, whatever it is, she got it. She could be [a soul mate]. I just have a type. She is a great type, but I just want to be out having fun. I’m still outchea.” 

The star does seem genuine in his response, stating he was happy for Angela in her new relationship with boxer Daniel “Miracle Man” Jacobs, and many fans were quick to praise his honesty. Even if Bow Wow felt otherwise, with Angela taken at the moment, all the relationship talk remains wishful thinking. 

What do you think of Bow Wow’s statement? Watch the full interview below.

Stephen A. Smith Unamused After Quavo & Kendrick Perkins Faceoff

Quavo and Kendrick Perkins appeared on First Take today where they attempted to squad their longstanding beef. The issues between the two all started when Quavo wrote the lyric “Get no playing time, Kendrick Perkins” in a song. This angered the former NBA player and the two have been going back and forth, ever since. Finally, they got to speak face to face, and if you saw the segment then you would know that it wasn’t particularly productive.

Even Stephen A. Smith was pretty annoyed by the whole thing as he interjected in the midst of the segment saying “”KP let me say this man, I knew absolutely, positively nothing about this ‘beef’ or whatever it is between y’all. I knew nothing about this literally until y’all both came on the air. Let me say this to you, Quavo loves his basketball, knows his basketball. You a champion, clearly a paid analyst on this network. You know your basketball and now it’s about us talking basketball, how ’bout that? Are we good?”

Once the segment came to a close, Smith continued to give his take on the matter saying “I wasn’t [entertained]. No, I wasn’t. I didn’t like it one bit. Because I don’t. I’m gonna leave it at that. I don’t. I had nothing to do with that. I didn’t know anything about it.” Smith has been adamant about his distaste for petty beef in the past, and it’s clear that he wanted no parts of what was intended to be some sort of viral moment.

It’s hard to disagree with Smith especially when you consider how First Take is his job and it’s something that he has always taken seriously, even if you don’t like his opinion. 

Lori Harvey Is Unbothered By Future’s Shade

After breaking up with Lori Harvey after two years of dating, the “Mask Off” rapper had to hit the booth to rain on his ex’s recent media parade with new-beau, actor Michael B. Jordan.

At the end of May, Future threw shade at his ex on a feature on 42 Dugg’s new album Free Dem Boyz: “Magic City, I’m the owner / Tell Steve Harvey I don’t want her.” The rapper gives the appearance that he has moved on with his new girlfriend rapper Dess Dior but his actions say otherwise. Lori usually stays quiet about her private life and romantic connections to some of the biggest celebrities, but this time she chose to speak her mind and indirectly address her exes’ recent jabs.

“I think they get from me that I try to just not let any type of negativity or rumors or anything like that make me stoop down to that level and go back and forth with it or whatever,” Lori said, speaking in an interview with Bustle. “Just maintain my position of I know who I am, I know what’s going on. I just try to stay up here and take the high road in every situation. So I think that would probably be what they get from me because I am private, so I like to just give enough.”

Michael B. Jordan has publicly ignored the negativity, only gushing about his relationship with Lori almost any chance he gets. The couple seems to be on the right track by not entertaining the haters with the reaction that they want.

The young celebrity power couple has chosen to stay fairly private, only speaking out about their relationship to certain outlets and occasionally posing together on social media. Lori and MBJ are focused on living their best lives, letting nothing get in their way — least of all the occasional bitter bar from Future.

2021-2022 NBA Season: Opening Night & Finals Dates Revealed

Over the last two NBA seasons, we have had some unique changes to the schedule due to COVID-19. Of course, during the 2019-2020 season, the league was forced to suspend its operations until late July-early August. Once the league started up again, they played all the way until October, which is when the proceeding season would have been starting under normal circumstances. As a result, the current season started in December and is now set to end in the middle of July.

Thanks to Shams Charania of The Athletic, we now have a plethora of important dates for next season. As you can see, things are officially going back to normal and fans have every reason to be excited. The first game of the year will be on October 19th, and the NBA Finals will start on June 2nd of 2022. Needless to say, the NBA is officially going to see some normalcy again.

With people throughout the United States getting vaccinated, it seems reasonable to assume that NBA arenas throughout the United States will be at full capacity next season. Even the Toronto Raptors should be able to return to their home at Scotiabank Arena, as opposed to playing another season in Tampa Bay.

Either way, next season is going to be a lot of fun and there is plenty to be excited about.

Jon Batiste Proves That Movement Is Medicine In His Euphoric ‘Freedom’ Video

Academy Award, BAFTA, and Golden Globe-winning musician Jon Batiste released his soulful album We Are last month. The multi-hyphenate musician has shared a handful of triumphant visuals alongside his LP and now, Batiste returns with a jubilant video to his funk-forward track “Freedom.”

The colorful visual is an ode to his New Orleans hometown, community, and Black joy. It opens with the singer exiting a vintage car on a busy neighborhood street. As he begins to dance, his happiness is infectious. Eventually, he’s followed by an entire parade of dancers and band players marching down some of New Orleans’ recognizable streets.

In a statement given to Apple Music about some of the themes he explores on We Are, Batiste said:

“I like to use the inspiration from the past and combine it with the things that are in the present to create the future. We’re finally at a point where we’re starting to untangle the way that my grandparents, and even my parents, experienced America. It feels like the culmination in the coming of age of what many generations have built, fought for, and poured into. As heavy as these themes are, the overall message of the album is love, joy, and community. That, and also the power of social revolution, in the sense of what we have to do in the culture to make room for everybody to be able to fully be who they are.”
