Month: September 2021

Kanye West has officially released his tenth studio album DONDA after months of teases and listening parties, and it’s every bit as good as what people imagined. Despite having twenty-seven songs, fans are praising the album on social media, pointing out the strong production, features, flows, and more. Some are even naming DONDA as one of the best albums in Kanye’s discography.

As we continue listening to the project and noticing new things about it, people are noticing one line in “Lord I Need You,” which is an emotional song about his relationship deteriorating with Kim Kardashian, where Ye may be alluding to his wife cheating on him.

“When you said give me a ring, you really meant a ring, huh? Turned out to be more than just a fling, huh?,” starts off Kanye before uttering the line in question. “Three hours to get back from Palm Springs, huh? Who you know spend an hour in Walgreens, huh?”

Fans have taken to social media to wonder aloud about the origin of the Walgreens lyric, speculating that Kim may have told Kanye that she was going to the pharmacy when she was actually spending time with another man. Kim has not addressed the rumors, and it does feel like a bit of a reach.

What do you think? Is Kanye alluding to Kim cheating?

Recently, Kim went viral on Instagram after promoting Kanye’s new album, only to be roasted by fans who realized that she was listening to DONDA on mute. Read more about that here.

Lil Nas X is releasing his debut studio album MONTERO in a matter of weeks, and following the unveiling of his larger-than-life cover artwork, the pop-rapper has officially shown off the final tracklist, which has his fans excited for the drop.

Just one day after revealing the cover artwork for his new album MONTERO, which is also the artist’s given name, Lil Nas X posted his tracklist on social media, revealing the song titles and features.

The album will begin with the hit record “MONTERO (Call Me By Your Name)” before transitioning into “Dead Right Now” and the latest single, “Industry Baby” featuring Jack Harlow. The tracklist will also include features from Doja Cat, Megan Thee Stallion, Miley Cyrus, and the legendary Elton John.

The highly stylized clip shows Lil Nas descending onto Earth, falling from Heaven before stopping in position for his album cover, then falling even lower and revealing the tracklist in the clouds. 

MONTERO is scheduled to release on September 17.

The tracklist reveal comes days after Lil Nas shared his opinion on Tony Hawk using his own blood on a set of skateboards, calling out the public for skipping out on that outrage, despite them vocalizing their frustration over his own “Satan shoes.” Nas X and Hawk met up this week to prove there’s no bad blood (see what I did there…).

Take a look at the tracklist below and let us know if you’re excited about the new album.

On Tuesday, some football-related news surfaced that shook up the entire NFL: Cam Newton had been cut from the New England Patriots. The 2021-2022 season would be Cam’s second with the renowned football team, but following what the Patriots described as “a misunderstanding related to Covid-19 protocols,” the team chose to drop Cam Newton from its roster and promote rookie Mac Jones to the starting quarterback position. 

In light of the shocking news, Cam shared the following message to his Instagram story: “I really appreciate all the love and support during this time, but I must say … please don’t feel sorry for me!! I’m good.” Several fans of the quarterback flooded Twitter with reactions to the unexpected news, and it appears that even OJ Simpson had something to say about the Patriot’s decision to cut Cam Newton.

According to OJ, he knew that Cam Newton’s role in Massachusetts was about to change when news first broke that Newton would be missing three to five days of training camp after catching COVID-19. With the way that the Patriot’s sensational rookie Mac Jones has been playing throughout the preseason, OJ Simpson was confident that Newton would be replaced by the rookie, but he admits that he was surprised that the team went ahead and cut Newton from the roster completely.

“I got to admit, when this COVID-19 thing came up this past week and I saw that he was going to miss five days of camp, I said, ‘Well, there goes the starting job,'” OJ says in a video uploaded to Twitter. “Mac Jones has been spectacular. I am still a little surprised they let him go because it’s not like they’re paying him an exorbitant amount of money for a quarterback, but I don’t think Cam is cut out to be the backup.”

OJ went on to say that despite Cam Newton’s talents, he doesn’t think that he would excel as a backup option. He continued, “I think as long as he’s fighting for the job, he’s going to be positive and on the sideline, [but not] knowing he’s a backup and has no chance of getting into the game unless this kid gets hurt. Right now, Cam’s chance of being a starter maybe could be in Miami and possibly down in Houston.”

OJ says that the big takeaway from the entire Cam Newton and Patriots fiasco, however, is that NFL players and quarterbacks specifically should just get vaccinated against COVID-19.

“I just don’t get why any quarterback in NFL, as important as they are to their team, won’t go and get the shot. A lot of them won’t even admit if they haven’t. You’re the star of the team,” he states. “Anyway, come on guys, especially quarterbacks! Go get the shot, tell the public you got it, and wear your masks.”

What do you think about OJ Simpson’s take on the situation?

As the investigation into the death of Jenae Gagnier, better known as Miss Mercedes Morr, continues, the late Instagram model’s parents have spoken out about their loss. The 33-year-old was found dead in her Richmond, Texas apartment over the weekend, along with the man who killed her.

“She’s a person, that was our baby,” Gagnier’s mother, Jeaneta told Eyewitness News. “She was so famous in her world, and so loved in ours.”

The model, who had just under three million followers on Instagram, was found strangled to death. Alongside Gagnier’s body, was a man later identified as 34-year-old Kevin Alexander Accorto. Authorities do not currently believe that the two had any sort of relationship, but Gagnier’s sister, London, alleged in an Instagram post that Accorto had been stalking Jenae.

“N*ggas don’t know shit. She wasn’t robbed. It was just a stalker from outta state who’d BEEN stalking her. Don’t play on my baby’s name EVER,” she wrote.

It was Gagnier’s father, Mark, who discovered her body on Sunday evening after the family hadn’t heard from her all weekend. “I know my daughter and when I got to my daughter’s house and it was locked up and she’s not answering my phone call, which is not like her, I knew something was up,” he recounted to Eyewitness News.

“I didn’t hesitate to kick the door down. What I saw, I wouldn’t want any parent to go through.” Mark discovered Jenae’s lifeless body at the bottom of the staircase, initially thinking her death may have been an accident.

Upon arriving upstairs, Gagnier discovered Accorto’s body with a knife in his neck; investigators say that the 34-year-old stubbed himself after strangling the Instagram model.

“He was twitching, he was gurgling,” recalled the star’s father. “I could look in the room and there’s writings all over the wall.” The notes, written in lipstick and pen, contained chilling confessions, apologies, and professions of love for Jenae.

“I don’t know how he found her and I don’t know how all this happened,” Mark continued. He also added that he and his daughter regularly discussed the potential of her internet fame warranting some obsessed fans. “It scared the hell out of me,” he said.

ABC 13 reports that Gagnier’s cause of death has been ruled homicide; the autopsy shows evidence of strangulation and a traumatic concussion. Richmond investigators are still working to find out how Accorto could’ve gotten into his victim’s apartment.

The heartbreaking loss of Miss Mercedes Morr has also prompted some celebrity attention – check out what Cardi B had to say to haters justifying Accorto’s actions.

As the world reacts to Trick Daddy’s comments about how he enjoys getting his salad tossed, Trina is getting on the rapper for a whole other reason. During a recent episode of Love & Hip Hop, the two Florida natives hosted their joint radio show when Trick started asking Trina a few too many questions. She wasn’t feeling well that day because it was the anniversary of her little brother’s death, and when the questions kept coming, she spoke up and unleashed a hell-storm on Trick.

“Today is not a good day for me. Today is the day that I lost my little brother,” said Trina during the show’s confessional. 

The scene shifted to Trick and Trina’s radio show, when Trick started asking her about a party in Atlanta. At first, Trina was calm but you could tell that something was bothering her. At a certain point, she just couldn’t hold back her emotions and she exploded on her long-time friend.

“I’m not in a good mood today,” she started. “It’s just one of these days, I’m just not in a good mood. Every year this day, I have the worst anxiety of the day right now. At 9:51, my little brother was killed and I don’t want to talk about none of this shit today. Not no work, no radio, nothing! I don’t wanna talk about it, I don’t care! Let me explain something to you, I lost my brother today. Y’all can wrap this shit ’cause I’m out of here. I’m not talkin’ ’bout nothin’. I told you already! It ain’t a fucking good day today! It’s not the time for that, my n***a!”

Trick Daddy Dollars had no clue how to respond to Trina, so he told her that she forgot her phone case in the studio as she stormed out, which she didn’t seem to care about.
