Kevin Durant Reveals His Latest Business Venture

by

Kevin Durant is one of the biggest names in the entire NBA right now. He is considered to be the best player in the league and while he wasn’t very successful in the playoffs this year, he is still highly rated amongst fans and peers. Durant is extremely successful and his wealth has allowed him to create business endeavors such as 35 Ventures, with Rich Kleiman.

The two have made some big investments together, and recently, it was announced that they just purchased a minority stake in Gotham FC which is a team in the National Women’s Soccer League. Gotham FC is a New York-based team, and it only makes sense that KD would want to get in on the action.

“As a New York-based company, the opportunity for us to partner with a forward-thinking team like Gotham FC was a no brainer,” Kleiman explained. “There’s been so much growth in the NWSL in recent years, and the chance to be a part of that growth and work directly with the Gotham FC executive team and players is really exciting.”

KD also commented on the big news as he wrote “Let’s get it @GothamFC.”

This is definitely big news for the league as it just goes to show that women’s soccer is growing at a rapid rate.

Jack Harlow Drops Tracklist For ‘Come Home The Kids Miss You’ Album

Jack Harlow's "First Class" Takes Over TikTok with Over 400K Video Creations

It’s no secret what Jack Harlow is trying to accomplish in his career. The Louisville, KY native wants his name to be in the same category as the best of them.

He’s already proven he is one of the hottest lyricists in the game. He dug deep in his rap repertoire as he held his own on “WHAT’S POPPIN,’” featuring other lyrical monsters such as Lil Wayne DaBaby and Tory Lanez.

As Harlow continues to prosper in his career, he surrounds himself with some of the best to ever do it. He did just that on his forthcoming album Come Home The Kids Miss You.

The “First Class” rapper told his Twitter fans that he only had legends on his album, and he told no lies. Harlow’s tracklist for the album, which drops May 6, includes Drake, Pharrell, Justin Timberlake, and Lil Wayne.

Harlow sets the standards high for himself, but he has no problem with the pressure. He told Rolling Stone that he wants to be the one fore-fronting the new generation of rap.

“I want to be the face of my shit, like the face of my generation, for these next 10 years,” Harlow told Rolling Stone in a recent cover story. “We need more people in my generation that are trying to be the best, and you can’t do that with just ear candy, vibe records. You got to come out swinging sometimes. . . . My new shit is much more serious. Right now, my message is letting muh’fuckers know I love hip-hop, and I’m one of the best in my generation.”

Jack has already built huge anticipation for Come Home The Kids Miss You. His song “Nail Tech” is a for sure banger, and “First Class” climbed to No.1 on the Billboard Top 100, marking his first solo #1 single. “First Class” earned the biggest streaming week of 2022 thus far.

G-Eazy’s Nike Air Yeezy Tragically Cracks During Celtics Game

by

G-Eazy has proven himself to be a big sneakerhead, and he is always wearing some pretty interesting and unique sneakers. The artist is also an avid sports fan, so it should come as no surprise that he likes to combine those interests sometimes. For instance, if G-Eazy is at a basketball game, you can expect to see him courtside in some pretty cool and unique sneakers.

That is exactly what happened on Tuesday night as G-Eazy was in attendance at the Boston Celtics vs. Milwaukee Bucks game. Prior to the tilt, Eazy had been flexing a pair of Nike Air Yeezy 1s, and he seemed to be pretty excited about them. Unfortunately, that excitement turned to disappointment as the midsole on his sneakers completely cracked.

Eventually, the rapper was saved as he was given a pair of Union LA x Air Jordan 2s. This mid-game swap proved to be a life saver, and there is no doubt that Eazy was appreciative of having another pair on tap. The mid-game swap is something that basketball players have done throughout the years, however, it is very rare to see a fan do the same thing.

Hopefully, G-Eazy can get those Air Yeezys repaired as they are a very rare and valuable shoe.
