Fat Joe Flexes His Yeezy Boots, N.O.R.E. & DJ Khaled Crack Jokes
Fat Joe’s outfit of the day post may not be earning him any praise from fashion’s finest, but it certainly did provide his good friends with some laughter this wintery weekend.
In case you missed it, on Friday, January 28th, the 51-year-old posted up in a reddish-pink-coloured hoodie layered under a beige jacket, paired with some distressed blue jeans. While one may expect the New York native to opt for a pair of Timbs on his feet, instead, he threw on a pair of Kanye West-designed Yeezy boots.

“Waiting on the snow,” Joe captioned his photos, taken in the streets of the Big Apple. Before long, dozens of the “Deep” rapper’s friends flocked to the comments – some of them hyping him up, and others taking the opportunity to clown their pal.
“[You] went [too] far lol,” N.O.R.E. wrote. “Where the Timbs at lol?” DJ Clue asked. “Wow [you] really live a life, naw but for real,” DJ Khaled added.
Remy Ma, on the other hand, complimented Fat Joe on his “fire fit,” while Tony Sunshine asked, “why you doing ’em like that?” along with a trail of flame emojis.
As HipHopDX notes, the Family Ties hitmaker has reacted well to all of the jokes, even reposting some memes that have been made to his own page. “Nah y’all gotta relax,” he captioned a photo dump that begins with a photoshopped light sabre in the recording artist’s hand and ends with him joining a scene from Mad Max.

Tom Brady To Retire From Football After 22 Seasons: Report
Tom Brady is undoubtably one of the most distinguished and impressive football players of all time, and could be considered one of the greatest athletes ever, of any sport. He has nothing else to prove to anybody, as his elite resume speaks for itself.
On Sunday (Jan. 29), the 44-year-old quarterback for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers decided to end his career, and will retire effective immediately. While he has not made this official with an announcement, sources tell ESPN insider Adam Schefter that he will hang up his shoulder pads for good, and he is waiting for the right time to tell the world himself so he will not overshadow the Super Bowl and the teams that earned a spot in the big game.
Brady retires after two seasons with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and a prior 20-year stint with the New England Patriots, where he cemented his legendary status. His accolades consist of seven Super Bowl titles, five Super Bowl MVP awards, three NFL MVP awards, most touchdown passes all-time and most passing yards all-time, among many others.
After his team’s dramatic Divisional Round playoff loss last week to the Los Angeles Rams, he spoke on what he would consider going forward about his career, citing the influence his family and health would have on a retirement decision: “I said this a few years ago, it’s what relationships are all about. It’s not always what I want. It’s what we want as a family. And I’m going to spend a lot of time with them and figure out in the future what’s next. I’ll know when I know. I think for all of us, you know, we can all decompress a bit. It’s been six straight months of football. Every day consumed by day in and day out football. And I think now it’s just some time to spend some time with my family and spend some time with my kids.”
Although Brady had just signed an extension with Tampa Bay before the 2021-22 season, he does not owe anybody anything else in terms of football, as he delivered the Bucs a ring after his first season with the team, and accomplished all there is to accomplish on the gridiron.
Do you think Tom Brady is the best football player ever?

Icewear Vezzo Confirms His Wealth On “Richer Than My Opps”
Detroit’s Icewear Vezzo saw a huge surge in popularity in 2021, as his two projects Rich Off Pints and Rich Off Pints 2 led to some stellar collaborations with marquee features. After making music with hitmakers like Future, Lil Yachty, Trippie Redd, Lil Durk, EST Gee, fellow Detroit native Babyface Ray, Moneybagg Yo and more, Vezzo is poised to keep going up in 2022.
To open this year’s musical campaign, Vezzo dropped his new single “Richer Than My Opps” on Jan. 28.

With a puffy red jacket on, Vezzo flexes his cash all throughout the song’s music video.

50 Cent Announces His Next Album Will Be His Last
Over the past few years, 50 Cent’s music career has taken a backseat to his television production endeavors. His Power series on STARZ has become one of the most popular dramas out, and he does not plan to stop, releasing a spin-off of the show in February titled Power, Book IV: Force.
While discussing this upcoming show recently on The Talk, 50 Cent also touched on his future music endeavors, confirming that his next album will be his last ever: “I probably think I’ll deliver one more full length album, then the other things I do will be connected to film and television. I’m having so much success in this area that I have opportunities to keep releasing music through the projects that I’m bringing.”
It sees that although he will close out his career as an artist after his next album, he will still release music through his shows on soundtracks, much like the theme song for Power, Book IV: Force in early January with Lil Durk and Jeremih.
He had already hinted that he would be done with music soon last month, as he posted on Instagram that he was a Top 10 rapper of all time: “Smile my next album might be my last. I terrorized hip hop for 14 years, don’t believe me Nielsen, the numbers will never lie but i’m nobody’s favorite Smh. Nah, I’m Top 10 dead or alive and i’m not done.”
Now that 50 Cent has laid out his plans for the immediate future, are you excited to hear his final album ever, considering he has not put one out since 2014?
Jordyn Woods Shuts Down Pregnancy Rumours, Says She Doesn’t Want Kids “Right Now”
It seems social media users have taken a break from speculating whether or not Fenty Beauty founder Rihanna is pregnant, and instead, have begun focusing their attention towards 24-year-old Jordyn Woods, who fueled rumours after including a picture of what looked like a baby Nike shoebox in a recent Instagram photo dump.
As PEOPLE reports, talk began after the model uploaded a new post to her page on Wednesday. January 26th. Some of the snaps see Woods and her boyfriend – Minnesota Timberwolves player Karl-Anthony Towns – posing together, while others showcase the view, as well as the socialite’s glamorous outfit details.
During a Q&A session with her followers, the Los Angeles native was hit with some inquiries about the mysterious orange box. “Are you preggy? That shoe box,” one person wrote, adding some eye emojis to emphasize their curiosity. Woods responded, “It was a gift card box, and no I don’t want kids right now, nor am I pregnant.”
“I’ve been wearing baggy clothes because it’s cold AF!!!” she continued. “Minnesota was -4. Also, I’m always cold AF regardless, that’s why I’m trying to get my iron up.”

Woods also addressed fans who were speculating in the comment section of her post, writing, “Trust me, if I was [pregnant] that would not be the way I would tell y’all. I thought it was cute because it was so little,” she clarified. “It’s a gift card box.”
They may not be welcoming a child together, but Towns isn’t one to hold back on showing his girlfriend how much he loves her. On Christmas, the 26-year-old surprised Woods with an incredible brown and rose gold Porsche – read more about that here.

Next, he posted an image with DaBaby, confirming that he will be a contributor on Bacc On Death Row: “Guess who just made the. B. O. D. R. Project @dababy BBOYZ”
