Celina Powell Sentenced to 2 Years In Prison For Probation Violation: Report

by

She gained infamy by taking to social media and podcasts to detail her alleged hookups with rappers, but Celina Powell isn’t in the headlines over any of her stories. The controversial pop culture personality has been in trouble with the law over the years; we reported in 2018 that she was arrested by bounty hunters and just last year, she was once again taken into custody after police alleged that Powell was driving without a license.

Although details regarding her most recent infraction have yet to be shared in full, TMZ did offer information reportedly provided by “a rep for the 17th Judicial DA’s Office.”

They reported that it was Powell’s 2015 conviction that landed her in trouble this time around. The report states that seven years ago, Powell was convicted of “driving a getaway car in a theft ring.” The District Attorney reportedly told the outlet that in that case, Powell’s probation required her to comply with several stipulations, including drug and alcohol testing, which she missed.

On May 1, Powell was reportedly arrested and was recently convicted of violating probation, meaning that she was tacked with a two-year sentence in a Colorado State Prison. She will reportedly be eligible for parole in December.

Powell rose to fame with allegations of her sexual exploits, many of which were shot down by the rappers she claimed were involved. She has publicly stated that she has had contact or some sort of relationship with Drake, Snoop Dogg, Offset, Young Thug, Tory Lanez, and more. Check out her reported mugshot below.

Kendrick Lamar’s ‘We Cry Together’ Records The Biggest Single-Week Drop In ‘Billboard’ Hot 100 History

Kendrick Lamar’s Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers set some records after its release last month. For what it’s worth, that shouldn’t be surprising as his loyal fan base spent five years waiting on a new body of work from him. For example, Kendrick broke Apple Music’s record for the most first-day streams by an album that was released in 2022. At the time of its release, Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers had the biggest debut on the Billboard 200 chart in 2022. A few weeks later, Kendrick set a new record on the Billboard chart, but it’s not one we might have expected from him.

According to the publication, Kendrick’s “We Cry Together,” which features contributions from actress Taylour Paige, recorded the biggest single-week drop on the most recent edition of the Billboard 200 chart. The record dropped down a total of 81 spots — from No. 16 to No. 97 — between the May 24 and May 31 updates of the singles chart.

This big drop shouldn’t be surprising for a couple of reasons. First, B-side records on an album typically experience a big drop on the charts once the hype behind the album that they’re on dies out. Other songs from Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers have also experienced this. They include “Silent Hill” with Kodak Black which dropped from No. 7 to No. 49 in the past couple of weeks. Secondly, “We Cry Together” is a lengthy skit on Kendrick’s new album and it features the rapper in an extremely heated argument with his girlfriend, something that most listeners found uncomfortable to listen to. As a result, they most likely steered away from the record during future listens of Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers thus launching the song down the singles chart.

On the bright side, Kendrick’s Good Kid M.A.A.D. City recently became the only hip-hop studio album to spend 500 weeks on the Billboard 200 chart.

Klay Thompson Explains What Makes This NBA Finals Different

by

Klay Thompson is one of the best shooters of all time and it is only fitting that he plays in the same back court as someone like Steph Curry who is the definitive greatest shooter of all time. Over the last couple of seasons, Thompson has been out of the game due to the fact that he has struggled with ACL and Achilles injuries. 

This season, Thompson was able to make his grand return to the court and he picked up right where he left off. Now, the Warriors are right back in the NBA Finals which just goes to show he is a large part of this team’s success.

Today, Thompson took part in media day as the NBA Finals start tomorrow night. At one point, Thompson was asked about his mindset going into this year’s finals, and how it has changed since years past. As you will see, Thompson is just a lot more grateful given the adversity he has been through.

“I think I’m definitely more reflective now, just because it can be taken away from you like that, one misstep or one bad jump … Now I just try to find joy in every routine I do,” Thompson said.

Now, Thompson could go down in history with his fourth NBA title. If he does it, then there is no doubt he and the rest of this Warriors dynasty will be remembered as one of the greatest ever.

Steph Curry’s Latest Comments Will Make Knicks Fans Scream

by

Steph Curry has had a historic career with the Golden State Warriors. He has won three NBA titles and this year, he is looking for his fourth as his Warriors look to take on the Boston Celtics in the NBA Finals, which start Thursday. His team is favored to win it all and there is no doubt he will only further his legacy if he wins that fourth championship.

One thing that always seems to make Knicks’ fans’ blood boil is the fact that Curry was actually supposed to be drafted by the New York Knicks. The team had told him they would take him but instead, they passed over him which allowed the Warriors to swoop in and take him. Needless to say, it was a huge mistake by the Knicks.

Today, Curry made it just a bit worse for Knicks fans as he fielded questions prior to the NBA Finals. While speaking on his time in Golden State, Curry reminded the world of how he was supposed to be playing in the Mecca of basketball.

“When I got drafted, I thought I was going to New York. I didn’t even have Golden State on my radar,” Curry said.

Knicks fans are going to want to rip their hair out when they see this clip. Their team has been terrible for the last two decades and this will not help make matters any better.
