Conor McGregor Donates Large Sum To Paralyzed Irish Fighter

Bellator fighter Ian Coughlan has been going through a very rough time as of late due to a spinal cord injury that occurred while training. It was a complete freak accident and one that left him paralyzed from the waist down. The fighter is now looking to get special stem cell treatment that could very well reverse his condition, however, it is going to cost 73,000 Euros, which is quite a bit of money for someone who isn’t able to earn their living right now.

Luckily, Conor McGregor has stepped in for his fellow Irishman as the UFC superstar donated 10,000 Euros to his GoFundMe campaign. In addition to this, McGregor will be attending a fundraiser put on by his coach John Cavanagh. As you can see, McGregor is quite excited to get involved here.

“Guys let’s get together and support this young Irish fighter who suffered a terrible injury at a gym in Ireland,” McGregor wrote. “Coach John and the team at SBG are hosting a training day and my own recovery permitting, I hope to be in attendance. There will be signed fight wear also!”

The event is set to take place on Saturday, December 18th, and hopefully, it provides Coughlan with the money he needs to get his experimental treatment.

While she may not be pregnant yet, Rihanna did say she’d like to have kids at some point during an interview British Vogue in 2020.

She explained at the time: “Hell, yeah, [I’d have kids on my own]. I feel like society makes me want to feel like, ‘Oh, you got it wrong…’ They diminish you as a mother if there’s not a dad in your kids’ lives. But the only thing that matters is happiness, that’s the only healthy relationship between a parent and a child. That’s the only thing that can raise a child truly, is love.”

Mac Miller’s Drug Supplier Says He Wasn’t Aware Of Fentanyl In The Fatal Pills He Gave The Rapper

After pleading guilty to the distribution of fentanyl, Mac Miller drug supplier Stephen Walter insisted that he had no idea that the pills he gave the rapper contained fentanyl, according to a new report in the New York Post.

Walter, who was in court Tuesday (via video conference) for the hearing in which he actually entered his plea, told the judge, “I was charged with selling blue pills, little blue counterfeit oxycontin pills… and I didn’t know what was in them. I didn’t know, like, fentanyl was in it. But I do say, yes, that I aided and abetted the transaction.”

Those pills wound up being the catalyst for Mac Miller’s eventual overdose, as the dosage for fentanyl is up to ten times stronger than oxycontin. Walter said he’d never met Mac before, only the other two men who were also indicted in the case, Cameron Pettit and Ryan Reavis, both of whom also pled guilty. “I only talked to Cameron,” he said. “I didn’t know what his intentions were with the pills. After he saw Ryan Reavis, I didn’t know what he was going to do with them.”

Walter’s sentencing is scheduled for March 7, 2022; Reavis’ is scheduled for April 4, 2022. Both could be given up to 20 years in federal prison, a lifetime of supervised release, and a $1 million fine.

Jay-Z’s Latest Tidal Playlist Highlights Mach-Hommy, MF DOOM, And Vince Staples

Jay-Z’s playlists on Tidal have become a tradition of sorts, not just allowing him to stay in touch with fans — something he obviously cares very much about, judging from his recent drop-in on Twitter Spaces — but also to show off his musical knowledge, which he also seems to care about a lot.

His latest list has arrived to commemorate the renaming of financial services tech company Square to Block, as soon-to-be-former Twitter CEO and Square co-founder Jack Dorsey announced on Wednesday this week (after roasting Facebook’s re-brand, no less). Square also recently purchased Tidal, which helped Jay-Z secure a seat on Square’s board of directors. Therefore, the new playlist, “Block Vibes,” is a celebration of the change, of sorts, as well as an interesting marketing ploy, introducing the new name and demonstrating synergy across the new brand, which also encircles Cash App.

The list once again showcases Jay’s expansive tastes, including up-and-coming rappers like Mach-Hommy and Vince Staples, backpack rap stalwarts Madlib and MF DOOM, eclectic bands Haitus Kaiyote and Khruangbin, and rising Afrobeats stars Tems and Wizkid.

In addition to being folded into Block’s overall corporate structure, Tidal also recently revamped its artist payment system and added a free tier to allow for ads and better payouts to the artists that make the business all its money.

Listen to Jay-Z’s new “Block Vibes” playlist below.

Jon Jones Blasts His Former Coach In Now-Deleted Tweets

Jon Jones has been through a ton of controversies as of late. After his recent arrest for domestic violence, Jones was reportedly banned from the gym belonging to his former coach, Mike Winkeljohn. Jones has never shied away from speaking his mind on various topics, so it should come as no surprise that he decided to go after Winkeljohn on Twitter. Unfortunately, the tweets were deleted, however, ClutchPoints was able to capture them before they were gone.

“Coach Wink gets on national TV and tells the world he wants the best for me, and then behind the scenes harassing the other coaches for continuing to work with me. What a miserable bastard,” Jones said. “This dude somehow has found a way to run away every single one of Gregs original fighters. I can’t think of a Jackson’s veteran that still talks with this ass whole”

From there, Jones went on to address the whole entire part about being suspended from the gym and even the reasons behind leaving his team. Ultimately, Jones just doesn’t like Winkeljohn, which is why he ended up leaving in the end.

“I didn’t leave the team because I couldn’t handle a punishment, I left the gym because I wasn’t training with Wink anymore anyways. This man hasn’t taught the students a new technique since I met him,” Jones said. “Wink suspending me from the team changed absolutely nothing for me. I’m still working with the same exact coaches on the same exact schedule we have been on over the last two years.”

At this point, the relationship between these two seems permanently fractured, although Jones doesn’t seem to care all that much. As for the deleted tweets, who knows why he decided to get rid of such evidence.

Diddy Places $3.3 Million Bid To Buy Sean John Out Of Bankruptcy: Report

Sean “Diddy” Combs has reportedly bid $3.3 million to buy the fashion brand Sean John out of bankruptcy. Diddy founded Sean John back in 1998 before later selling the brand to GBG USA Inc. in 2016.

Bloomberg reports that court documents filed on Wednesday reveal Diddy has set the floor for further bids with his sizable offer. The company has been seeking a buyer since May.

Other potential buyers will have until December 15 to top Diddy’s $3.3 million offer.

Earlier this year, Diddy hit the fashion brand as well as GBG with a $25 million lawsuit for allegedly using the rapper’s image without his consent to “significantly increase sales and profits.” 

“[Sean John/GBG’s] decision to leverage a fabricated quote they created and then falsely attributed to Mr. Combs, and to use Mr. Combs’s name and other monikers to create the false and misleading impression that Mr. Combs is the decision-maker behind the designs and creation of the GBG Collection,” Diddy’s lawyer Jonathan D. Davis said at the time.

TMZ reports that sources close to the hip-hop entrepreneur say he is very excited for the deal to go through and plans to completely reinvigorate the brand after he is able to acquire it.

Drake May Have Found The Last 2 People On Earth Who Don’t Know Him

Drake is one of the most recognizable people in the world. His music has taken him across the globe, making him one of the most popular artists of all time. It feels like, wherever the Toronto native goes, he will be recognized by everybody that crosses his path. 

On Wednesday night though, he may have found the last two people on this planet who are unfamiliar with him. Sitting courtside at the Houston Rockets/Oklahoma City Thunder game, Drake was spotted next to an older couple and when he was shown on the big screen, they seemingly asked him if he was anybody special.

The man beside Drake seemingly noticed that the rapper was being introduced to fans at the arena when he turned and said something, which got a laugh out of Drizzy. Amused by whatever the man told him, Drake instructed the camera to focus on his new friends, and he even cemented their bond by posting them on his Instagram page.

“My new parents,” wrote the rapper, sharing a picture with them.

While it’s perceived that the couple didn’t know Drake because of how the interaction went down, it’s possible that they were simply playing it cool with the artist.

Trae Young Speaks Out After Receiving Write-In Votes For NYC Mayor

Trae Young’s playoff performances last season were beyond impressive. He was able to lead his team to the Eastern Conference Finals, and it was certainly a fantastic outing for a team that had struggled mightily in the seasons prior. In the first round of the playoffs, Young took on the New York Knicks, where he eventually became a villain in the city. 

In the SideTalkNYC video down below, Knicks fans were incredibly cruel to Young, and one of the lasting sentiments in the city is that he is no longer welcomed back. Of course, these are simply empty threats made by fans, although it speaks to just how much of an impression Young ended up making on the city. 

Despite all of this hatred and vitriol towards Young, it was recently revealed that some people voted for Young as a write-in in the Mayoral race in New York City. This should certainly come as a surprise given what was said about Young in the city, previously. 

To show his appreciation for these votes, Young ended up taking to Twitter saying “that’s love NY for real, never got a mayor vote!” Clearly, Young is pretty impressed about how he still has some fans left in the city that he left dejected last April.

Perhaps next time around, Young can get more votes and perhaps even take office.

Sandra Bullock On Adopting Black Kids: “I Have The Same Feelings As A Woman With Brown Skin”

Sandra Bullock discussed adoption and what she’s learned from parenting two Black children on a new episode of Red Table Talk with Jada Pinkett Smith, Willow Smith, and Adrienne Banfield-Norris.

Despite going on to say that she loves them the same as a “woman with brown skin” would, Bullock admits that she wishes her children and her “skins matched.”

“Because then it would be easier on how people approach us. It’s our anxiety. It’s our fear,” the Bird Box star explained. “It’s our cross to bear the minute you become a mom. And I have the same feelings as a woman with brown skin with it being her babies or a White woman with, you know, White babies.”

Bullock also discussed her relationship with her partner, Randall, whom she met after adopting.

“He’s the example that I would want my children to have. I have a partner who’s very Christian,” Bullock said. “And so there’s two very different ways of looking at things. And I don’t always agree with him”

“He doesn’t always agree with me,” she added. “But he is an example even when I don’t agree with him that I go, ‘If they can take away from that, and if that is where they feel drawn to, then he’s the exact right parent.'”
