Bad Bunny Got Body-Slammed By Brock Lesnar At The WWE Royal Rumble

by

Bad Bunny should really be taking it easy. He’s got his Último Tour del Mundo starting on February 9th in Denver and his World’s Hottest Tour of North and South American stadiums starting in August. If he keeps entering the wrestling ring to grapple with a WWE savage like Brock Lesnar, though, he might not make it to either of those.

That statement might sound preposterous, but that’s exactly what happened this past Saturday night (January 29th) at WWE’s Royal Rumble in St. Louis, Missouri. You see, last year, the Puerto Rican reggaeton star and reigning Spotify streaming king merely performed his song “Booker T” at the event, but this year he actually got in the ring, and it wasn’t pretty. Bad Bunny was first body-slammed by the eventual Royal Rumble champion Brock Lesnar, who then tossed over the ropes like yesterday’s laundry.

The Royal Rumble is a last-man-standing competition, so you have to throw everyone out of the ring to be crowned the victor. Lesnar had just eliminated a wrestler when Bad Bunny knew he was surely next and he retreated to a corner of the ring, looking visibly freaked out. “Did you see the look on bad Bunny’s face?” one announcer says. Before the other announcer shouts, “Jump over the rope Bad Bunny! You got two tours! You got fans, you got music to make!” But it was too late. Lesnar made quick work of Bad Bunny and here’s hoping Bad Bunny has.. .errr… recovered, in time for his tours (wink, wink).

Doja Cat Is An intergalactic Diva In The ‘Get Into It (Yuh) Video

by

Just like Ariana Grande before her, there’s nothing Doja Cat loves more than an intergalactic moment. The pop/rap/R&B star is still slowly but surely doling out videos from her extremely successful 2021 album Planet Her, and tonight she’s shared a video from one of the record’s deep cuts, “Get Into It (Yuh).” And speaking of Ariana, she gets more than just a nod in the album title track — which features a spelled out version of signature “yuh” adlib — but also in the lyrics when Doja commands: “y’all b*tches better “yuh” like Ariana.”

Nothing we love more than when the girls are getting along! That’s how masterful pop culture moments like the “34 + 35” remix video come along. Anyway, in her own video for the track, Doja is a diva in all kinds of space suit getups, alternating between ruling a crew of musical women in a spacecraft, fighting off aggressive alien interlopers, and dancing alone in what looks like a space station elevator shaft. What has this evil boss done? Stolen a beloved cat, one of the most heinous crimes in the entire galaxy. Don’t worry though, just like she’s winning down here on earth, Doja gets the best of him in the end. Watch the clip above.

The Game Slams Interscope For “Runnin’ A Modern Day Slave Trade”

by

The Game posted a scathing diss of his former label, Interscope Records, on Twitter, earlier this week. Some time after, the rapper’s account was made temporarily unavailable for violating the platform’s media policy.

“Fuck INTERSCOPE,” The Game began his tweet. “I meant it when I said it 17 years ago & I mean it today !!!! They’re runnin a modern day slave trade & they steal from every single artist. Best decision of my life was parting ways. #StayIndependent.”

It is unclear whether The Game’s tweet about interscope is related, but all of the rapper’s tweets are replaced with the message: “@thegame’s account is temporarily unavailable because it violates the Twitter Media Policy.”

After signing with Interscope early in his career, The Game released his final album with the label, Jesus Piece, back in December 2012.

He is expected to release his fifth album since leaving the label, Drillmatic, later this year. He recently dropped “Easy,” a new track featuring Kanye West.

In addition to slamming Interscope on social media, The Game also recently called out Ebro Darden and Funk Flex for leaving him off of their top 50 rappers lists.

Tyreek Hill & Eli Apple Trade Shots On Twitter: “He’s A Baby”

by

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill and Cincinnati Bengals cornerback Eli Apple went at it on Twitter after the AFC Championship game on Twitter, Sunday. The interaction began with Apple bragging about having outplayed Hill twice this season.

“Oh yea that chiefs cheetah pack finna hit way crazier the 2nd time,” Apple tweeted after the game.

One fan replied: “As much shit as you’ll get, I gotta concede you had the game winning play here.”

“He’s a baby!” Apple quote-tweeted the fan’s post while tagging Hill’s Twitter handle.

“No Twitter beef big dog just hit my line,” Hill wrote back.

Hill was able to snag 7 receptions, 78 yards and a touchdown during the game; however, it was a slow second half that played the biggest factor in the result. The Chiefs as a whole were held to just 3 points in the third and fourth quarters.

The Bengals came back from down 21-3 to win in an overtime thriller that included a rare interception from Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

The Bengals will take on the Los Angeles Rams during Super Bowl LVI on February 13.

22Gz says young rappers need to stop being too direct with disses in their songs. The New York rapper discussed rap beef in a new interview with HipHopDX.

“All these young n****s, they got heat, I ain’t gon’ lie,” 22Gz told the outlet. “They got heat. They doin’ they thing. Just gotta dumb they dissin’ down cause n****s don’t hear you, n****s straight hear the dissin’ and say fuck the whole song, ya heard?”

“It’s how diss though,” he expained. “It’s day room how they do it type shit. Like bro, a n***a moms can’t hear that type shit. You really trying to make it or what? You playin’.”

22Gz’s opinion on including disses in rap songs comes after he recently came to fellow New York rapper Bobby Shmurda’s defense amidst an ongoing beef with Wack 100. Wack had criticized Shmurda’s dancing.

In response, 22Gz labeled Wack “the police” and asked “How you not street cause you dance? So just because a n***a dance he not a shooter?” on Twitter.
