Month: August 2022

Over the last week or so, the Boston Celtics have had to deal with a very interesting report. This report actually has to do with Kevin Durant and the Brooklyn Nets. Everyone knows that Durant wants to be traded from the Nets, although nothing has materialized so far. With that said, it was recently revealed that the Celtics offered the Nets a package for Durant that included franchise cornerstone, Jaylen Brown.

Celtics fans were pretty shocked by this report especially since the Celtics made it to the NBA Finals this year with their current core. Brown is an exceptional young player, and it just wouldn’t make sense for the Celtics to part ways with him, especially for a player that is aging and on a rival team.

Jayson Tatum remains the best player on the Celtics roster, and recently, he was asked about the rumors and whether or not he wants everyone on the roster to be back this year. Tatum was very matter-of-fact in his answer noting that due to everyone’s contract status, they really have no choice.

“Yeah, we don’t have any free agents on the team. So everybody has to come back,” Tatum said. He also made sure to note that he has been in contact with his teammates and that he wants them in Boston for the long haul.

The Brown reports are certainly concerning, but when KD is available, it only makes sense that some teams would get a little crazy.

With so many impressive fits, it’s hard to even think of the cost of what a rapper might be wearing on any given day. Kodak Black’s clearly a big flexer in this area, as the Florida rapper talked to Chris Too Smoove via TikTok and detailed the cost of his fit. He even cheekily included his ankle monitor while on house arrest.

The “Super Gremlin” artist revealed he spent a million dollars for his grill, and around $3 million on his collection of chains that hung from his neck. Understandably, Kodak also proved that it gets hard to keep track of so much drip. When asked about his jacket, he simply responded with “it depends.” As far as pants, the 25-year-old said he spent 50 racks on his yellow shorts. Chris also asked Kodak about his ring, which he just said was “expensive” and that he made it himself with diamonds from Haiti.

It’s not the only way in which Kodak’s fit paid homage to his heritage, as he said his custom Nikes were from Haiti, as well. But he didn’t end at the kicks. He also had to shout out his “expensive” ankle bracelet and the previously mentioned ankle monitor, which he said costs $250,000. 

Kodak’s spoke out recently about his unhappiness with his sentence following his recent arrest, citing character assassination after he’s made important contributions to his community. Lil Uzi Vert recently spoke out to support his fellow 2016 XXL Freshman. The arrest also hasn’t stopped Kodak from performing, as he had a wild set at Rolling Loud Miami 2022 and a surprise appearance during Kendrick Lamar’s headlining slot.

Kodak’s not slowing down, and neither is his fit game.

This is an opinion that Chaka Khan has previously shared, but she is rehashing her feelings over Kanye West sampling her track. The music mogul famously borrowed Khan’s “Through The Fire” for his hit “Through The Wire,” but after it was released, Khan claimed that she was unhappy with his version. Earlier on in his career, West was famously known for his “Chipmunk Soul” or “Chipmunk Hip Hop” productions, and he did this with “Through The Fire,” speeding things up to make voices high-pitched.

Khan recently sat down with Good Day DC and was asked if she has since heard from West after voicing her disapproval all these years later. She said no.

“I’m not looking to hear from Kanye, either,” said Khan. “No, I’ve not heard from him and I’m not looking to hear from him. That’s what he did. That’s what he did with his music. I was upset about sounding like a chipmunk, ’cause he didn’t put that when he asked [if] he could use my, sample my song. He didn’t mention that he was gonna speed it up three times its normal speed.”

Khan added that had West told her of his plans, she may have rejected his request. Because of West, the singer added that she now has people specify exactly how they intend to use her music. She previously called West’s sample “insulting” and “stupid.”
