Jack Harlow Laughs Off NBA Refs Who Have No Idea Who He Is

Jack Harlow is one of the biggest stars in hip-hop right now and as many of you already know, he is gearing up to release his new album Come Home The Kids Miss You on Friday. This is going to be an interesting project, especially when you consider how “First Class” is currently the number two song in the entire world.

Yesterday, Harlow spent his time at the Boston Celtics Vs. Milwaukee Bucks game where he was shown on the jumbotron. This prompted an interesting exchange between the two referees as they didn’t even know who Harlow was. Of course, these two men are a bit older, so it only makes sense that this would be the case.

Harlow did not seem to mind the fact that they didn’t know who he was, although he did make sure to make a joke about it. In the tweet below, Harlow references the fact that the looks like Mr. Tumnus, who is the half man-half goat from the Narnia movies.

“Clearly these mfs have never seen Narnia,” Harlow said. Harlow has always had a pretty hilarious sense of humor so it shouldn’t be surprising that he would call out the refs like this. Regardless, we’re not sure Scott Foster really cares about Harlow’s tweet. After all, he has ridiculous flagrant fouls to give out.

As for Come Home The Kids Miss You, we’re sure Harlow is excited to release his next body of work to the world.

Wave’s album announcement comes after the rapper claimed that he won’t be making music for much longer. Wave hinted at retiring from his rap career during a live stream on Instagram, back in January.

“I’m only here for a little longer and when I say that I mean as in Rod Wave,” he said at the time. “I’m only here for a lil’ minute, man. I done gave y’all straight dope, straight crack. Ain’t nobody’s f*cking with me with that pen. This sh*t not really me, man. I’m not no people person, I’m not no center of attention ass n***a, I hate attention, man. I can’t get on the internet without seeing my face or name. […] It’s kind of like you sold your soul, bro, ’cause you say that’s not you but for $300K it’ll be me.”

He also claimed that he only released the single “Cold December” to honor the terms of his contract with Alamo Records.

“I was in a $15 million deal contract that I was trying to close on and they was like, ‘They need that song.’ That’s the only reason why I dropped that sh*t,” he said on the live stream. “But I wasn’t never gon’ drop that sh*t if you want to be technical.”

Beautiful Mind is scheduled to release on June 3.

DaBaby Releases Video of Assault Victim After Being Charged with Felony Battery

DaBaby Dropped From Governors Ball Lineup Following Homophobic Remarks

It seems wherever DaBaby goes, trouble is to follow. Days after a new video put his “self-defense” Wal-Mart shooting in question, DaBaby is charged with felony battery after the beating of property manager Gary Pagar.

In December, Pagar rented DaBaby’s LA mansion for a music video. According to TMZ, DaBaby and Pagar agreed to only have a maximum of 12 guests during his tenure. The manager would visit and found as many as 40 people on the property.

In a video, Pagar was assaulted by one of DaBaby’s crew, Thankgod Awute, who also took the man’s cell phone. Awute is now charged with felony robbery.

In response, DaBaby hit Twitter to release another video of the incident.

“Y’all keep beliving these type of people & helping em assassinate my character y’all might as well get a rope & help him hang my black ass on a tree,” DaBaby wrote.

Saucy Santana Doubles Down Against Negative Comments Regarding His RCA Commitment

Saucy Santana Calls Out Joe Budden Over "Walk" Single

Congratulations are in order for Saucy Santana! The 28-year-old rapper has recently signed a mojo label deal with RCA records. Saucy Santana, otherwise known as Santana, is known for his hilarious persona on social media and hits such as Walk Em Like A Dog, Material Girl, and Walk.

The Material Gworl himself announced the news in a recent interview with The Breakfast Club. “I feel like that was the only thing that was stopping me, kind of,” Sanatana begin. “I feel like I didn’t have that complete backing with a major label. I put in a lot of work, I worked really hard being an independent artist. But I feel like now, with that major backing, I can clear certain samples, I could get this radio sh*t going, I can get these bigger artists. It’s up.”

Sanatana also explained why he chose RCA records over other major labels, as he feels the music label respects his creativity in his projects. “When it comes down to TikTok dances, it’s me. When it comes down to videos, I’m telling them how I want my videos,” he stated.  “I let them know that I need somebody that understands Santana, but wants to help elevate and push Santana to the forefront.”

After the announcement circulated the internet, some were happy for Sanatana, while others tried to get the once makeup artist to rethink his deal. “Everybody talking shit about RCA! Look at Latto, Doja Cat & SZA and many more I didn’t mention! #NuffSaid” he stated.

We are excited to see what Santana and his influence will bring to the music industry. Check out Santana’s interview with The Breakfast Club below.

SOURCE SPORTS: Shakur Stevenson Dominates Oscar Valdez To Unify WBO and WBC Super Featherweight Titles

FRrcZj4XwAAQPuW

Newark’s own Shakur Stevenson is quickly moving up the ranks and being considered one of the best pound for pound in the sport. Stevenson put on a clinic on Oscar Valdez to retain his WBC super featherweight title and capture Valdez’s WBO title.

“I’m a superstar in this sport,” said Stevenson, 24. “I want to collect all the belts at 130 and become undisputed. I deserve to be a superstar, so that’s what I gotta do.”

Stevenson did it all in the ring and even found time to pop the question to his long-time girlfriend. No doubt she was going to say yes in the ring.

Stevenson put down Valdez in the sixth and neutralized Valdez’s vaunted power. Valdez came into the bout 30-0 with 23 knockouts, but he rarely touched Stevenson in the fight clean.

“He’s a great fighter,” Valdez said of Stevenson. “His speed is there. Power is there. He was just the better fighter tonight. Overall, a great fighter.”

Skill is the limit for Stevenson, who looks to dominate the 135 division and fight all challenges that await him. One of those challengers who could be next was Devin Haney, who just happened to sign a deal with Top Rank Boxing, the same promotion that Stevenson and Valdez are part of.

“Devin is definitely a huge fight for me; Devin is a helluva fighter. We can line it up in the future,” said Stevenson

Converse is partnering up with pgLang, the firm founded by Kendrick Lamar and Dave Free. “pgLang for Converse” is a partnership that takes two of Converse’s most iconic styles – the Chuck 70 and the Pro Leather – and turns them into canvases for storytelling and exploration. By adding small embellishments into silhouettes that have stood the test of time, the partnership sees its design language as based in simplicity.

pgLang is an agency founded in 2020 by Kendrick Lamar and his longtime collaborator Dave Free with the goal of telling stories that transcend language and connecting people through shared experiences. Curiosity, accessibility, and inventiveness are at the heart of pgLang’s identity, and they’re all on exhibit in this collection.

Finally, pgLang for Converse embraces the unknown, celebrates the established, and anticipates what’s yet to be discovered in order to Create Next.

A closer look at the pgLang for Converse Chuck 70 reveals small elements that distinguish it from its original shape. The upper features hiking-style eyelets, while the insole and outsole feature an asymmetrical rubber lacquer and cryptic text patterns that allude to pgLang’s secretive spirit. “for pgLang” is also imprinted on the upper, over the Converse logo.

The Pro Leather is a classic silhouette that has been updated with a suede upper. It has the same hiking-style eyelets as the Chuck 70, and the Star Chevron is imprinted alongside “pgLang.”

A music video starring Tanna Leone and Selah Marley, which portrays the narrative of two strangers who find an unexpected connection while exploring Los Angeles, will be released to coincide with the release of this collaboration. The laces on the pgLang for Converse collection are employed as the mechanism via which the two protagonists discover connection in Los Angeles – a city where loneliness can be impossible to avoid. This is in keeping with pgLang’s objective to communicate stories that transcend language.

Converse.com and pg-Lang.com will have a limited global release of pgLang for Converse starting May 2. You can see the pieces below.
