Month: May 2022

Kanye West has remained lowkey over the past few weeks — a significant change of pace considering how he started off 2022. His public divorce from Kim Kardashian and the subsequent social media attacks on Pete Davidson led to many reactions, most notably from D.L. Hughley. Ye went in on D.L. for describing his actions as manipulative and abusive, which led to even more clap backs from the comedian’s friends.

During a recent interview with TMZ, D.L. Hughley chimed in on Pete Davidson’s new tattoos that feature Kim and her kids’ initials. However he may have felt about Kanye’s public attempts at winning Kim back, he thinks it’s outright weird that Pete has North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm’s initials inked on his neck. Though he said that it’s Pete’s body and he’s allowed to do what he wishes, he said that Pete is antagonizing Kanye.

“I think it’s his body, it’s his woman. That’s Kanye’s kids. That would piss me off,” Hughley said, explaining that he has his kids initials tattooed on him. “To me, the father’s alive, he’s taking care of his kids, there’s — I don’t know what that’s all about. That’s none of my business but if you tattooed my kid’s name on your neck, I’d have something to say about it.”

Hughley went on to describe Davidson’s gesture as “troublesome.” “You puttin’ that man’s kids on your neck, that’s antagonizing,” he continued. “That’s out of pocket for me.”

The comic went on to say that he isn’t aware of the specifics of Kim, Pete, and Kanye’s current standing but still doesn’t think it’s a smart move.

“You already know it’s a volatile situation. Do you think that’s gonna help?” Hughley asked.

Floyd Mayweather is easily one of the most legendary fighters of all time. The man remains undefeated and after 50 professional fights, there is no doubt that Floyd is one of the greatest to ever do it. With that being said, Floyd is still going strong in the ring as he looks to show people that he still has what it takes to win against strong opponents. It remains to be seen if Floyd will ever fight professionally again, however, the possibility remains very intriguing. 

Meanwhile, Floyd is learning what it’s like to be a grandfather. His daughter YaYa recently had a child with NBA YoungBoy, and the boy’s name is KJ. Floyd seems to be quite proud of the young man, especially since he is starting to develop a fondness for boxing. As you can see in the Instagram post below, KJ can be seen staring at Floyd as he spars in the ring. Floyd was touched by this and ended up penning a lengthy and emotional message.

Via Mayweather:

“Grandson, I’m very thankful for your great Granddad teaching me the sweet science of boxing, to hit and not get hit. I believe in working smarter, not harder. I retired from the sport undefeated with all my accolades and on my own terms. Even in retirement, I’m still able to milk the game of boxing, continuing to make 8 figures or more. I will continue to do exhibition bouts making tons of money and people from all around the world will continue to pay because my hustle is just different. If Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, Warren Buffett, and the Waltons continue making money in their 50’s, 60’s, 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s, then I’m not retiring from making money and I’m younger than all of them. DON’T GET MAD, THIS IS WHAT GOD WANTED.”

Perhaps KJ could be one of the next great boxing superstars. Of course, there is no telling whether or not this will be the case, however, the interest in the sport is clearly there. If anything, he will have the perfect teacher in Floyd.

“At the end of the day, I’m a mom first,” she explained last April during an interview with Cam Newton on his BET series Sip ‘N Smoke. “A mom, a wife, a woman. And I think for me, I put in a lot of work. I work very, very hard. So, if you feel unheard and unseen—like how I said earlier with my husband. He sees me, he hears me. I take that shit serious. Everything that I do. So if you’re my husband, or I’m signed, everybody that I’m aligned with should see me. They should hear me. They should feel me. If you don’t see me, hear me, or feel me, it’s a dub for you.”

She concluded: “And I felt like the label wasn’t really hearing me and seeing me. I felt underappreciated. So, for my mental health, my mental well-being, for my kids, let me just put this on ice for a little [bit]. It’s not that I retired permanently. It’s more like, I just don’t feel like I want to move another inch for a company.”

Tickets will be going on sale on Friday, May 6th at 10:00 AM, local time through Live Nation.
