He’s a longtime, avid fan of the Los Angeles Lakers but their loss to the Phoenix Suns has Snoop Dogg throwing his hands in the air. The Long Beach icon represents all things California without hesitation, especially as it pertains to sports. On Tuesday (June 1) evening, the Lakers faced off against the Suns in Game 5 of the playoffs, and no one expected the Southern California team to lose by 30 points, 85 to 115.
As expected, reactions to this loss have been tremendous, coming from everyday fans to former Lakers players to sports commentators to…Snoop Dogg. “Never thought I’s say it but we sorry and the clippers better than us,” the rapper penned in a text image he shared to Instagram.

We soft [finger pointing up emoji][angry censored emojis][thumbs down emoji].” Snoop wrote in the caption that he didn’t want anyone calling him, but his son Cordell couldn’t help but tease his dad.
“[crying laughing emojis] I love when the Lakers don’t win just to see what you gon post,” Cordell worte in the comments.

One would think that with a successful career that has spanned decades, fans would know quite a bit about Mary J. Blige. Yet, even as candid as Blige has been in interviews since the inception of her career, there is much more than the world has yet to learn about the award-winning entertainer. On Tuesday (June 1), the official countdown to Blige’s latest project begins, and no, it isn’t an album but a documentary.
Mary J. Blige’s My Life will reportedly be an intimate look at the development and creation of the singer’s 1994 sophomore album, My Life. The record has gone down in music history and solidified Blige’s placement in the industry as the Queen of Hip Hop-Soul.
“I’m so excited to share the trailer for my new documentary,” Blige penned in a caption to an Instagram post of the documentary’s trailer. “Get ready to learn the story behind one of the most inspiring albums of all time in. #MJBMyLife with Yours Truly!! Coming June 25th to @amazonprimevideo.”
Friends like Rapsody, Busta Rhymes, Misa Hylton, Gabrielle Union, Keri Hilson, Estelle, Malik Yoba, Nivea, and Jason Mitchell were just a handful of the thousands of excited responses Blige received on her post.
“My Life is probably my darkest album at one of the darkest times I’ve had,” said Blige in the documentary’s trailer. “Most of the time I was just depressed and didn’t want to live. I had it all inside and I was able to sing it and write it, and I didn’t know that so many people felt the same way.”
Check out the trailer below and let us know if you’ll be tuning in on June 25.

The era when Death Row Records was running the music industry is hailed as one of the best for Hip Hop. Yet, when you ask people who lived through that time as they ran in label-affiliated circles, the Row’s intimidating approach to business dealings wasn’t always welcomed. Still, Suge Knight and his Death Row crew were one of the most respected, and successful, collectives in the industry, but it all began crumbling as legal troubles rolled in and, of course, with the callous murder of Tupac Shakur in 1996.
Those old Death Row stories feature an unlikely figure as Keyshia Cole was around 12 or 13-years-old when she began spending time with the label. Death Row producer Kurt Kobane recently said in an interview that even at that age, Keyshia was allegedly running things. Last August, Keyshia shared in an interview that she and Tupac were friends, and immediately prior to him being killed, he allegedly told her that he planned on leaving Death Row and working out a deal with Quincy Jones.
“I actually did know [Tupac.] He wanted to sign me to Quincy [Jones] when he was with Kidada, Quincy’s daughter, and he was gonna leave Death Row and go to sign with Quincy. He wanted me to go over there because he said that Death Row was not the place for kids,” she said at the time. However, in a recent interview with The Art of Dialogue, Death Row singer Danny Boy calls foul on that statement.
“He ain’t told her sh*t,” said Danny. “Everybody was close to Pac when he died. Everybody. That’s all you hear. That’s what people do. But Keyshia went up—Pac went up to her. How old was she? Twelve, 13-year-old? He let her hear some sh*t that could have really got him hurt? He wasn’t just gon’ walk and say anything about anybody, especially, ‘I’m finna leave Suge’ in front of a 13-year-old.”
“He ain’t told her sh*t like that.” Danny Boy also said that Pac wouldn’t go to Quincy Jones because the legendary music producer has never entered into the Rap game. According to Danny, it wouldn’t have made sense for Pac to even entertain the thought. He did, however, co-sign Tupac’s love for Kidada and said he was convinced they would one day get married.
Check out the clip of Danny Boy’s interview below.

A shooting in Miami caused DaBaby to be named in reports, but after questioning, the North Carolina rapper was sent on his way. The incident occurred yesterday (May 31) evening in South Beach outside of Prime 112 nightclub. There weren’t any fatalities reported but it was said that two people were injured during the fray. Multiple reports stated that DaBaby was released from police custody after it was learned that he allegedly fired off a shot during the incident, however, it was reportedly in self-defense.
There were also reports that members of the rapper’s entourage were also being questioned, including 21-year-old North Carolina rapper Wisdom Awute. This evening (June 1), TMZ updated their report about the case to state that Awute and another man named Christopher Urena have been arrested in connection with the shooting.
“In less than 24 hours, Miami Beach detectives were able to ensure those responsible for the shooting were arrested and charged,” said Ernesto Rodriguez, Miami Beach police spokesman. “We will now work closely with the State Attorney’s Office to ensure a successful prosecution.”
TMZ reports that Awute allegedly “fired at least one shot” while victims attempted to run, hitting one of them in the leg. Urena was allegedly seen shooting a victim in the back. The victim who was struck in the leg was reportedly treated and released, while the victim hit in the back remains in hospital care and is rumored to be paralyzed.
Attorney Drew Findling, the lawyer who is also handing YFN Lucci’s murder and racketeering case, told the outlet, “Mr. Kirk has been released by the police. No criminal charges have been filed against him.” The Miami Herald detailed the story police received regarding the incident.
According police report on Awute, two men were trying to get in their car at around 11:20 p.m. Monday in front of the restaurant when they got in fight with “a famous musical entourage.” That’s when the rapper pulled out a gun, the victim told police. Awute then shot one of the two men in the right calf, police said. The victim was then able to identify Awute as the shooter, police said in the report.
The NY Daily News reports that Awute is signed to DaBaby’s Billion Dollar Baby label. Awute and Urena both reportedly face a slew of charges including attempted murder.
In almost every career field, the topic of mental health is buzzing. We’ve heard much about it in the sports world, especially among football players who suffer from CTE, or chronic traumatic encephalopathy. This week, the subject of mental health took center stage once again after Naomi Osaka decided to pull out of the French Open altogether after receiving a fine for not appearing for the press junkets. She’s been praised by her competitors and fellow athletes around the globe, and Mike Tyson recently revealed to Reuters that he has an unconventional way of dealing with his mental health struggles.
The Brooklyn boxing icon spoke with the publication about using psilocybin mushrooms, or magic mushrooms, and how he’s used them to combat the issues that he’s dealt with. The change Tyson has gone through mentally and spiritually is partially thanks to his dosing, he said.
“Everyone thought I was crazy, I bit this guy’s ear off,” the boxing legend said of his infamous 1997 match with Evander Holyfield. “I did all this stuff, and once I got introduced to the shrooms … my whole life changed.” Medical professionals have often spoken against people using such substances without a professional’s guidance because many users have experienced adverse effects that have permanently altered their reality or mental state.
Yet, Tyson sings shrooms praises. “To think where I was – almost suicidal – to this now. Isn’t life a trip, man? It’s amazing medicine, and people don’t look at it from that perspective.” Last year, Tyson appeared on the Impaulsive podcast and ate a few shrooms on camera. You can check that out below. Are you for or against the use of “magic mushrooms”?

Fans of DMV rapper IDK hope that his second album, U See 4 Yourself — his follow-up to his 2019 debut Is He Real? — is here soon. It still has no release date, but the rapper has been keeping fans satisfied with new music. That trend continues with his latest drop, which seems him recruiting production duo New Impressionz to deliver a Go-Go remix of his most recent single, “Shoot My Shot.”
The new edit turns the charismatic banger — which previously featured a guest appearance from Offset — into a drum-heavy track that loops the original song’s extremely catchy chorus. It’s fitting that IDK shared a Go-Go remix of the single as the genre is extremely popular within the DMV area which he calls home.
The remix is just the latest in a long list of songs and projects IDK has delivered since Is He Real? He dropped a falsetto cover of Pharrell’s “Frontin,” remixed Pooh Shiesty’s “Back In Blood,” and shared a pair of original songs with “Just Like Martin” and “2 Cents.” Prior to that, he teamed up with ASAP Ferg, Wale, Juicy J, Denzel Curry, Maxo Kream, PnB Rock, Rico Nasty, and more for his IDK & Friends 2 project.
You can watch the video for the remix of “Shoot My Shot” above.

“Been 3 mins of thinking of a caption… I ain’t got sh*t to say,” Ri penned in the caption. It’s clear that her lingerie look said it all.
