Lil Durk and his fiancée India Royale already have one beautiful baby, but it looks like the young rapper would like another. Durk has been having an amazing year, and recently received praise for promoting his girl’s brand on Drake’s Certified Lover Boy. “India Royale cosmetic, I’m just promotin’ my bitch/Drake song do a billion streams for sure, I’m just promotin’ her shit/Nasty with it, take her to Sono Bello and get her some massive titties,” he raps on the song.
Dirk may be taking over the nation, but he hopped on Twitter to claim that things aren’t as jubilant as they seem. “I be acting like I’m happy but I’m really sad inside,” tweeted Dirk. He also tweeted out, “I want another son !!!!!”
Lil Durk has always shouted his partner out whenever he had the chance. Most notably he did it on “India” on his 2017 project Signed To The Streets 2.5, then again on “India Pt. II” on Signed To The Streets 3 a year later. “India Pt. III” was featured on his 2020 project The Voice. With those two tweets, it seems like Durk is sending India a message that he wants to expand the family.
NBA 2K21 was fun on next-gen systems. The online play was vastly expanded to create an entire city for gamers to explore, shop, and play ball. The immersive online play will surely help vault NBA 2K21 into new heights for the future. One thing about the online play that stands out is the shot celebrations. It adds fun to the game, by way of taunting the other team.
There are few things more annoying than playing those gamers that shoot and perform the shot celebration emote where they fall to the ground. Not only is it cocky and awkward looking, but it’s also widely spammed by millions of players. If you thought that emote was annoying, well NBA 2K22 has something new up its sleeves.
The new jump flip emote will probably be used by everyone to the point of exhaustion, so prepare yourself. NBA 2K22 drops Sept. 10 on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X | S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC. Dallas Maverick’s star Luka Dončić is on the cover of the game, while the NBA 75th season Edition features Los Angeles Laker Kareem-Abdul Jabar, Maverick Dirk Nowitzki, and Brookly Net Kevin Durant.
Drake loves to hit fans with those creative bars. On Certified Lover Boy, Drake drops all types of one-liners, shout-outs, and obscure references. Some take time for fans to dig through while others are more obvious from the jump. One line is catching the internet’s attention, and Drake showed up in the comment section to co-sign a running theory.
Earlier this year, fans of Drake joked online about how Drizzy would find a way to rhyme with Giannis Antetokounmpo. Antetokounmpo stunned the nation and led his team to an NBA title, while also taking home the Finals MVP award. The dominant play from Antetokounmpo assured that his name would start popping up in rap songs. Drake name drops Giannis in “7am on Bridle Path,” rapping, “Could at least keep it a buck like Antetokounmpo. I made north of the border like Vito Rizzuto.”
“Drake working Antetokounmpo into a line gonna be tricky but he’ll figure out something,” tweeted one fan. ESPN took a screenshot of the tweet and reposted it on Instagram with the caption, “Leave it to Aubrey to find a way.” The amount of support ESPN is showing Drake is kind of odd by the way. Nonetheless, Drizzy pulled up into the comment section to reply, “Only did it cause of this tweet.”
Fans also pointed out the Kanye also has a Giannis line on Donda. Do you think Kanye or Drake has the better Antetokounmpo line?
Venom: Let There Be Carnage is set to bring Carnage to the live-action screen for the first time. Woody Harrelson will star as Carnage in the film, alongside Tom Hardy‘s Venom. The highly anticipated film may also give gans a glimpse at Sony’s live take on the multi-verse, since we can assume Tom Holland’s Spider-Man will be joining his Sony compatriots soon enough.

Let There Be Carnage has faced several delays and setbacks. The pandemic is mainly to blame, and Sony has been trying to pump this movie out since last year. The sequel was set to open on Sept. 24 in the U.S., and recently was moved to Oct. 15 instead. Now, according to The Hollywood Reporter, the film would be pushed forward.
Venom: Let There Be Carnage has been moved up two weeks to Oct. 1. It’s strange to see Sony move the film up after just pushing it back and amidst Delta-variant cases picking up. However, it’s possible that Sony wants to move their superhero film as far away from Marvel’s Eternals while also giving themselves enough time to breathe in between Venom and Spider-Man: No Way Home. Are you excited to see Venom: Let There Be Carnage?
Tracy Morgan is a legendary comedian, but we almost lost him back in 2014. The comedian had a near-fatal car accident and he was left in a coma suffering from brain damage. He made it back from that dark and scary place, and had an epic career bounce back.
Page Six reports that recently, Morgan went back to the Hackensack Meridian JFK Johnson Rehabilitation Center, which is where he recovered. The visit made Morgan so emotional that he collapsed in front of the bed he recovered in and started crying.
“Tracy became emotional and started crying,” a rep for the center told Page Six, “He was very thankful to all the nurses and doctors who helped him recover. Tracy was joined by nurse Jackie and Dr. [Brian] Greenwald, who cared for him while he was a patient.”
Morgan told the story of his accident and his long recovery to patients at the rehab to give them some hope for their own battles.
“[Many of them] called Morgan’s visit inspiring,” continued the rep, “Several said seeing Morgan’s amazing recovery and return to the national stage as a comic and actor after his brain injury provided inspiration and hope during their own challenges.”
The comedian dropped Tracy Morgan: Staying Alive, a stand-up where he jokes about the accident. Definitely check that out if you haven’t yet.

The new Blade film is expected to really open up the horror genre in the MCU. Yes, Doctor Strange in the Multi-Verse of Madness is also being hailed as a horror film, however, there’s something about the Blade franchise that makes it seems darker. Mahershala Ali is primed to play the day-walker, which is a great casting choice.
Bassam Tariq is set to direct the new Blade, which will begin filming next year. Tariq is excited to dig into the film. Speaking with Indie Wire, Tariq broke down what will make his new Blade stand out.
“What’s exciting about the film that we’re making is [there] hasn’t been a canon for Blade, as we’re reading through the comics and everything,” said Tariq. “Him being a daywalker is the one thing that’s been established, and you know we can’t deny what Wesley Snipes did, which was he basically got this whole ball rolling. A Black man created the superhero world that we’re in, that’s just the truth. For me to now be working with somebody as talented and a juggernaut as Mahershala Ali, and the writer Stacy Osei-Kuffour, I’m just so — I’m so honored to be working with real Black juggernauts and Black talent. For me to just be with them in this room and listen and learn as I build this out, it’s really an honor.”
Are you excited to see the MCU’s version of Blade, or do you wish Snipes was back in the role?

Mark Andrews has been an up-and-down piece of the Baltimore Ravens’ high-powered offense. It looks like the Ravens are ready to invest heavily into their young player. According to ESPN, Andrews has just signed a 4-year $56 million extension with the Ravens.
Andrews’ deal comes out to $14 million per season, which makes him the third-highest-paid tight end in the NFL, behind George Kittle ($15 million per season) and Travis Kelce ($14.3 million). Andrews was scheduled to be a free agent at the end of the season.
The talented tight end will receive $37.6 million in guaranteed money for 63% of the deal, the source told Fowler. He will be paid $26.6 million by March 2022.
“Mark is exactly the type of player we wish to keep as a Raven long term,” Baltimore general manager Eric DeCosta said. “He’s competitive, passionate, talented and a leader. We are so excited to have him in Baltimore for the next five years. Congratulations to Mark and his family —and happy birthday.” Andrews’ 17 touchdowns over the past two seasons are the most of all tight ends and ranks No. 8 in the NFL overall. He has amassed 2,105 yards receiving, the fifth-most by an NFL tight end in his first three seasons over the last two decades.

One thing we all know about this pandemic is that many people have been spending a lot of time indoors. That baby-making season lasted extra long last year, and this year. Babies seem to be popping up everywhere, and Kodak Black is one of those who are caught up in the mix.
Kodak is expecting his second child, and his first daughter, with his girlfriend, real estate agent Maranda Johnson. The baby is due either late this year or early 2022. Kodak and Maranda have allegedly been dating on-and-off for years. Kodak already has one child from a previous relationship, his six-year-old son, King.
In the wake of the news of having a new baby, Amber Rose decided to send some words of encouragement towards Kodak’s expanding family. Although the rapper seems to be very excited to be having a daughter, being a girl dad comes with some added responsibilities. Amber Rose made sure to let Kodak know that he needs to start behaving himself.
“Congratulations @kodakblack On Your Babygirl I Need You To Stay Out Of Trouble So You Can Be Out Here To Raise Your Young Queen,” she wrote on social media. That’s some solid advice, Amber.
