Month: October 2021

Lil Kim jokingly referenced her 2003 song “The Jump Off” during a photo shoot on her Instagram with a Sprite can Saturday. Her latest stage outfit matches Sprite’s iconic lime green as a reference to her iconic bar about the soda can. 

“I could make a @sprite can disappear in my mouth,” she captioned photos of her look. “Me and my team been putting these liquid latex outfits together for the tour for a month.”

She also asked her fans, “Which color do you think I’m going to do next?”

“The Jump Off” was featured on Kim’s third studio album, La Bella Mafia.

She raps on the track, “Don’t he know Queen Bee got the ill deep throat? / Uh! Let me show you what I’m all about / How I make a Sprite can disappear in my mouth.”

Kim is currently performing on the Legendz of the Streetz tour with a star-studded list of other popular artists including Jeezy, Gucci Mane, Rick Ross, 2 Chainz, Fabolous, Trina, Boosie Badazz, and DJ Drama.

The tour stops in Atlanta, Memphis, Miami, Houston, and other cities from now through the end of October.

Former New York mayor Rudy Guiliani admitted that some of the basis for his claim of voter fraud in the 2020 election came from Facebook during his deposition on August 14, the transcript of which is now available to the public. Guiliani was sued by Dominion Voting Systems employee Eric Coomer for his allegations against the company and its involvement in the alleged fraud scheme.

“I don’t remember if it was Facebook. Those social media posts get all one to me,” Giuliani admitted in his testimony. “I think it was Facebook”

He also admitted that he never spoke to the witness that he claimed to know.

“I think somebody interviewed him,” Guiliani said. “It’s not my job in a fast-moving case to go out and investigate every piece of evidence that’s given to me. Otherwise, you’re never going to write a story.”

The release of the deposition’s transcript comes after Guiliani had his law license suspended by a New York court which determined his accusations caused an “immediate threat” to the public.

“One only has to look at the ongoing present public discord over the 2020 election, which erupted into violence, insurrection and death on Jan. 6, 2021, at the U.S. Capitol, to understand the extent of the damage that can be done when the public is misled by false information about the elections,” the court stated in documents.

Following her breakup with the world’s rich man, Elon Musk, Grimes was spotted reading Karl Marx’s iconic Communist Manifesto, a pamphlet from 1848 which breaks down class struggle, provides a materialist conception of history, and is considered one of the most influential political documents in history.

The couple announced that they were parting ways, last month, in a statement explaining that they would remain friends.

“We are semi-separated but still love each other, see each other frequently and are on great terms,” Musk told the NY Post. “It’s mostly that my work at SpaceX and Tesla requires me to be primarily in Texas or traveling overseas and her work is primarily in LA. She’s staying with me now and Baby X is in the adjacent room.”

Grimes has long been associated with leftism, dating back to her viral high school yearbook quote which is attributed to Joseph Stalin.

Earlier this year, she was criticized by leftists when she defended her relationship with Musk and claimed that that artificial intelligence is the “fastest path to communism.”

“If implemented correctly, AI could actually theoretically solve for abundance,” she said at the time in a TikTok post. “Like, we could totally get to a situation where nobody has to work, everybody is provided for with a comfortable state of being, [a] comfortable living.”

B2K’s official Instagram page commented on Lil Fizz’s recent apology to Omarion for dating Apryl Jones. The statement calls Fizz a “real man” for admitting his wrongdoing.

“It takes a real man to apologize in front of the world and admit their wrongs. The winners of last night. #Boys4Life,” the post reads.

Despite Omarion sharing a child with Jones, Fizz went on to date her in 2019 following The Millennium Tour. The couple has since broken up. He apologized on stage with Omarion in Los Angeles at The Forum, Friday, for any “turmoil or dysfunction” caused by his relationship with Jones.

“I don’t think it would be right if I didn’t take this moment, bro, to publicly apologize to you,” Fizz told Omarion while the crowd roared with applause.”I did some fucked up shit to my brother and I’m not proud of it, man.”

“So I want to say here humbly and sincerely apologize to you for any type of dysfunction I caused between you and your family,” he added.

The Millennium Tour, which is continuing following the COVID-19 pandemic, will next stop in Oakland, Saturday night, and run through November 26 in Las Vegas.

Cenk Uygur, the co-founder of the Young Turks, threatened to fight Joe Rogan, Thursday night, after criticizing his repeated hesitancy to support the COVID-19 vaccine.

“To all the loser @joerogan fans crying over my attack on his ‘freedom’ hypocrisy & stupidity, are you guys part of the crew or do you kiss his ass for fun? I thought he was a big boy who could handle himself,” Uygur tweeted after going back-and-forth with Rogan’s fans.

“If he doesn’t like my free speech, he can grow a pair & defend himself,” he added.

One Rogan listener then said he’d pay $1,000 to see the two fight, to which Uygur replied: “easiest $1,000 I ever made.”

Uygur explained how he believes the fight would go: “You think he’s going to assault me? Sure, whatever. That’s incredibly dumb. But also wouldn’t work. I’m much larger than Joe and I’ve fought my whole life. I’d end him. But grownups don’t do that. I’ll send you the PO Box to send check to later.”

Last week, Rogan revealed that he had spoken to Nicki Minaj about having her on the podcast to discuss her cousin’s testicles,” and her claim that the COVID-19 vaccine caused them to swell up.

Emily Ratajkowski has revealed that Robin Thicke groped her on the set of the viral music video for “Blurred Lines” from 2013. Ratajkowski discusses the incident in an excerpt from her new book, My Body, which was published in The Daily Beast, Saturday.

“Suddenly, out of nowhere, I felt the coolness and foreignness of a stranger’s hands cupping my bare breasts from behind. I instinctively moved away, looking back at Robin Thicke,” Ratajkowski explains in her book.

She continues that Thicke appeared to be drunk on the set and “smiled a goofy grin and stumbled backward, his eyes concealed behind his sunglasses. My head turned to the darkness beyond the set. [The director, Diane Martel’s] voice cracked as she yelled out to me, ‘Are you okay?’”

Martel confirmed the story to the Sunday Times of London in a statement.

“I remember the moment that he grabbed her breasts,” she said. “One in each hand. He was standing behind her as they were both in profile. I screamed in my very aggressive Brooklyn voice, ‘What the fuck are you doing, that’s it!! The shoot is over!!’”

My Body will be available for purchase in full, next month.

J. Prince says that Kanye West and Drake are working together to help Larry Hoover, co-founder of Gangster Disciples, who is serving a controversial prison sentence for a murder in 1973 as well as charges of conspiracy, extortion, money laundering, and more. Hoover was sentenced to six life sentences.

“IF YOU FAIL TO PLAN YOU PLAN TO FAIL,” Prince wrote on Instagram, Saturday. “Good plans in the making to free our brother Larry Hoover with the support of @champagnepapi and @kanyewest #TheArtandScienceOfRespect.”

“To be continued…” he added.

West has advocated in favor of clemency for Hoover at numerous points in recent years. In 2018, the Chicago rapper met with former President Donald Trump in an attempt to work out a course of action to help Hoover.

“There’s infinite amounts of the universe and there’s alternate universe,” West said at the time. “So it’s very important for me to get Hoover out because in an alternate universe, I am him and I have to go and get him free. Because he was doing positive inside Chicago just like I’m moving back to Chicago, and it’s not just about, you know, getting on stage and being an entertainer and having a monolithic voice that’s forced to be a specific part.”

West also featured Hoover’s son, Larry Hoover Jr., on his newest album, Donda.

It’s been just over three years since the world said an unexpected goodbye to Mac Miller. The rapper suffered an overdose on September 7, 2018, after taking counterfeit oxycodone pills that turned out to be laced with fentanyl. 

According to AllHipHop, the “Donald Trump” singer purchased his drugs in Los Angeles from Cameron James Pettit, who received them from Stephen Walter and Ryan Reavis.

All three men are currently behind bars, and will be for anywhere from 20 to life after being charged with the distribution of fentanyl resulting in Miller’s death.

Just a few days ago, Pettit filed a motion requesting that he be temporarily released from prison so that he could travel to Portola Valley, California for his grandfather’s funeral service.

AllHipHop reports that the criminal’s grandfather, named Nobel Hancock, recently passed away at the age of 99. Pettit was hoping to attend his celebration of life that was being held today, October 2nd, from 2 – 4 PM.

The drug dealer’s parents even offered up a $50,000 bond each in hopes of getting their son out, but US District Judge Otis Wright turned down the request after government objection.

Apparently, authorities believe that, if given the opportunity, Pettit would flee and not return to serve the rest of his sentence. 

When he first found out about Miller’s death in 2018, the criminal’s Instagram DMs show that he was messaging friends about “getting off the grid” and moving far away, perhaps even as far as Stockholm, Sweden.

How do you feel about the judge’s decision to keep Pettit locked up? Should he have been allowed out to pay his respects to his grandfather, or is he too much of a flight risk?
