Andrew Tate Offers To Train Elon Musk For Mark Zuckerberg Fight

by

In one of the more bizarre stories of the week, Elon Musk challenged tech rival Mark Zuckerberg to a cage fight. Zuckerberg promptly accepted, sparking the very real idea that the two tech giants could soon be squaring off.

Furthermore, according to the UFC’s Dana White, the two men are “dead serious” about fighting. It’s unclear if White is angling to get the UFC involved in the bout. Regardless, White believes the fight could become the most profitable bout ever staged.

There are some issues, however. According to their self-professed weights, Musk sits two to three weight classes higher, per standard MMA class definitions. Either Musk would need to cut or Zuckerberg bulk to make the fight manageable. Despite this, bookmakers currently back Zuckerberg. Per Oddspedia, Zuckerberg holds odds of -333 (Bet $3.33 to win $1.00) while Musk has odds of +220 (win $2.20 per $1.00 bet). Now another controversial figure has entered the story – Andrew Tate.

Tate Offers To Coach Musk

Andrew Tate initially rose to fame as a kickboxer, holding a 73-9 record in his professional career. However, Tate is better known as a male lifestyle influencer. Tate’s courses teach men how to make money by shunning women and compassion as evil distractions.

Additionally, Tate is a very vocal anti-vaxxer. This belief is what led him to enter the Musk v Zuck discussions. Tate was banned from all META-owned platforms (Facebook, Instagram, etc.) for spreading COVID misinformation. He has apparently taken this personally, as he has cited it as the primary reason why Tahe wishes to train Musk for the fight against Zuckerberg.

However, this may be somewhat difficult to do, given recent developments in Tate’s legal troubles. Romanian officials have officially charged Tate, along with his brother, with rape and human trafficking. Tate has been held on house arrest for several months while prosecutors build a case against him.

While Elon Musk rarely fails to make the news, it’s just not just fight offers that have earned him the spotlight in recent months. Stories relating to his many tech companies have also dominated the news in 2023, rarely for positive reasons.

On April 20, the very public launch of SpaceX’s “Starship” went horribly wrong as engineers were forced to terminate the 77-minute mission after just 4 minutes. The mission, which was meant to demonstrate Starship’s ability to reach a low-Earth orbit, failed due to catastrophic engine failures.

More recently, amid the Titan submersible disaster, people have turned their attention to Musk’s wireless communication service, Starlink. Initial reports, based on OceanGate’s own social media, suggested that the submersible’s communications were powered by Starlink. This has since been debunked. However, it led a number of people to speculate as to whether Musk’s fight offer was a way to divert attention away from this theory.

Summer Walker Calls Jess Hilarious “Ugly,” Claps Back After Lil Meech Comments

by

Summer Walker has shared her thoughts on Jess Hilarious’ recent comments on her relationship. She hopped on Instagram to call the comedian “weird” and “ugly” for what Jess Hilarious calls “tough love.” Recently, Jess Hilarious discussed Lil Meech’s recent cheating allegations, going on to call him “smelly.” She further claimed that he should “keep cheating” on Summer Walker, insisting that it’s a surefire way to get some great new music. The couple later responded, exposing DMs that the comedian previously sent to Lil Meech and calling her “thirsty.”

Now, fans have gotten a more in-depth response from Summer Walker, who went in on Jess Hilarious in a recent Instagram Story. It’s clear that she didn’t appreciate Jess Hilarious weighing in on the drama, judging by the heated reply. “Jess [you’re] a really weird a*s b*tch,” she wrote. “What Black woman hopes another Black woman keeps getting cheated on?” she asks, “That’s dark.” She then calls Jess Hilarious out for trying to “link” with her man and then calling him smelly. “You JUST missed being a n***a by a chromosome lord forgive me,” Walker says, “But damn!” She tells Jess Hilarious, “you’d think being so ugly you’d try to be sweeter,” insisting that her approach won’t get her far.

Jess Hilarious Responds

Jess Hilarious later responded to Walker’s rant, simply saying “It’s only two chromosomes anyway Summer.” She does have a point, however, it hasn’t stopped social media users from going after her. Many of Walker’s fans say the comedian should stay out of her business, claiming that the singer “ate her up.”

Walker also shared a message advising people to “MOVE TF ON” from the recent cheating allegations. “It’s giving obsession,” she says, “like it’s scary.” She went on to explain that her and Lil Meech were trying to keep their relationship private from the beginning, but people still insist on picking it apart. “Every move we make everything we do someone got something negative to say,” she notes.

Drake Reflects On “Honestly, Nevermind” One Year Later

by

This time last year, Drake divided the internet with his Honestly, Nevermind album. It left many of those hoping to hear the Canadian show off his rap skills disappointed, though others who have been leaning into the resurgence of dance music thoroughly enjoyed the 14-track effort. In just a few days, he and 21 Sav are embarking on the It’s All A Blur tour, which will find Drizzy performing songs from their joint LP, Her Loss, as well as his own recent releases like Certified Lover Boy and Honestly, Nevermind.

To commemorate the one-year anniversary of the polarizing project, Drake shared the album notes over a black screen on his Instagram Story. “I let my humbleness turn to numbness at times letting time go by knowing I got the endurance to catch it another time,” they begin. “I work with every breath in my body ’cause it’s the work not air that makes me feel alive. That’s some real detrimental shit, but that’s that shit my perfectionist mind doesn’t really mind because no one knows what’s on my mind when I go to sleep at nine and wake up at five – unless I say it in a rhyme.”

Drake’s Honestly, Nevermind Turns One

@champagnepapi/Instagram Story

The following likes find Drake reflecting on the price of fame, and how most people he meets are more concerned with taking photos together for clout than actually connecting with him. “I got plans I can’t talk about with more than like four guys because the last time I shared ’em with someone on the outside… Well, that’s another story for another night. I was tryna get thru that statement to get to saying I’m not at a time in my life where pats on the shoulder help get me by,” he continues.

“I know everyone that tells me they love me doesn’t love me all the time, especially when I’m doing better than alright and they have to watch it from whatever point they at in their life,” Champagne Papi adds before reminding us he got where he is by “being realistic,” not by “being blind” and sending a shoutout to the late Virgil Abloh. Aside from reflecting on his past releases, Drake has also given us a few new features to enjoy this weekend. On Young Thug’s surprise BUSINESS IS BUSINESS album, the father of one shows out on both “Parade on Cleveland” and “Oh U Went.” Check the tracks out for yourself at the link below, and tap back in later this weekend for more HNHH release recommendations.

Central Cee: The London Rapper’s Path To Success

by

Earlier this week, XXL Magazine unveiled its annual Freshman Class of rising rappers that have the potential to be the next big stars in hip hop. Each year, the list tends to provoke conversations about the current state of hip hop and which newcomer will impact the genre. Twelve artists appear on this year’s cover, including the likes of Lola Brooke, Fridayy, GloRilla, and others. Also shown on this year’s cover is Central Cee, who stands out among the rest of the artists.

The West London rapper is the second UK artist to ever make the XXL Freshman list, with the first being Stefflon Don in 2018. His appearance on the cover speaks volumes about his recent success in the United States. At just 25 years of age, Central Cee has become one of the biggest names in the UK and is now making waves overseas. 

One Of Drill’s Biggest Stars

Central Cee is from Shepherd’s Bush in West London. He started rapping at 14, releasing various singles, EPs, and freestyles. Central Cee is one of the biggest artists pushing the UK drill genre forward. Within the past four years, UK drill has proven to be a driving force in hip hop culture. The hip hop subgenre reinvented the original Chicago drill with the edginess of grime, further influencing New York drill. 

Central Cee’s career took off in 2020 when he caught multiple hit records with “Day in the Life” and “Loading,” with the latter being one of his biggest songs. Both of these singles led to the independent release of his debut commercial mixtape, 2021’s Wild West. In addition to “Day in the Life” and “Loading,” the project also featured the commercially successful song “Commitment Issues.” His second commercial mixtape, 23, arrived in 2022 and was also self-released, featuring the hit single “Obsessed with You.” Both of Central Cee’s commercial mixtapes are now certified Gold. So far, he has yet to release his official debut album.

Central Cee’s Viral Moment With “Doja”

In the same year he released 23, Central Cee dropped his biggest single to date with “Doja.” The song samples Eve and Gwen Stefani’s 2001 song, “Let Me Blow Ya Mind” and name-drops Doja Cat. “Doja” instantly went viral on social media because of its famous sample, title, and, most notably, a particular lyric. Central Cee raps, “How can I be homophobic? My b*tch is gay.” Cee won his fourth MOBO Award for the song’s video and has been nominated for various categories eight times. The success of “Doja” has led to further success for Central Cee, allowing him to reach beyond the UK into international audiences.

Recent Successes & Ventures

Central Cee has crossed over as one of the biggest rappers in the UK and one of the biggest artists in the drill genre. He has now seen great success in the United States, playing multiple dates across the country for his worldwide tour earlier this year. He is one of the hottest acts in the festival circuit, as he is listed close to the top of many international festival lineups this year. Central Cee has even been able to venture outside of music, modeling in different collections throughout the past few years. 

Earlier this month, Central Cee teamed up with Dave for a collaborative EP titled Split Decision. The project displayed the immaculate chemistry between two of the UK’s biggest rappers. The EP’s lead single, “Sprinter,” is also an early contender for song of the summer. It was recently announced that Central Cee signed with Columbia Records in partnership with Sony Music UK. His partnership with a major label indicates that he is only just getting started with his successful rap career. Central Cee is clearly on a hot streak that is not showing signs of slowing down anytime soon, and his appearance on this year’s Freshman cover for XXL reaffirms that.

Gunna In Miami As New Young Thug Album Drops

by

Just as his currently still locked-up label mate Young Thug dropped his new album from behind bars, Gunna was out on the town in Miami. Photos and videos of the rapper in Miami hit the internet this morning. As is often the case under Gunna posts, fans had plenty to say about the rapper. As usual, plenty of people brought up the rapper’s alleged snitching earlier this year. Fans were also quick to call out his outfit, a black sleeveless shirt with white buttons and some baggy brown pants.

Sentiments toward Gunna might have been even more hostile than usual following the release of Young Thug’s new album Business Is Business. Though fans are still dissecting the project they’ve already identified lyrics that could be shots at Thugger’s YSL partner. The song “Jonesboro” features the lyrics “N*ggas told and he was my homie, I can’t miss him, Ain’t nobody feel him.” While some saw the lyrics as an obvious shot at Gunna, others weren’t convinced. Some claim that the song was recorded before the pair were even ever arrested in the first place.

Gunna Out In Miami

Gunna has been defending himself from numerous fronts since taking a plea deal in the YSL RICO case a few months ago. On a recent podcast appearance, Lil Durk didn’t mince words with his thoughts toward the rapper. “That man told,” the “All My Life” rapper said. He may or may not have just taken a hit from a former collaborator. In a leaked snippet of a new music video, Lil Baby appears to take aim at his fellow Drip Harder rapper for snitching. Given the pair’s extensive history of collaborating that shot in particular may have hurt.

In the wake of those statements, Gunna appears to have unfollowed both Lil Baby and Lil Durk on Instagram. Gunna released a new album of his own last week. The project saw him giving some of his own thoughts on the snitching situation. What do you think of Gunna’s new photos in Miami while Young Thug may have dissed him? Let us know in the comment section below.

Chris Paul Traded to Golden State Warriors in Swap for Jordan Poole & Picks

In case you missed it, Chris Paul is the latest member of the Golden State Warriors. After the trade broke the Internet, sportscaster Lindsay Czarniak spoke with CP3 for her Lunch with Lindsay podcast.

The full episode, set to release on July 13, features a heartfelt conversation where Paul reveals how his son broke the news again, describing it as a “full-circle” moment. The emotionally charged day for Paul began with attending a funeral for his great-grandmother.

CP3 reveals he learned about becoming a member of the Warriors from his son after a pickup game.

“After the game got over at 1, little Chris came over and told me,” CP3 revealed. “I was excited to get a chance to go play for a franchise like that with the great players they have. It’s crazy how life comes full circle. For the last 10 years I’ve been competing… against them. I’m all about winning, so whatever’s gonna give me an opportunity to win I’m all for it.”

CP3 added, “I’m excited, I’m grateful… to get a opportunity to get an opportunity to play with that core group of players, Steph, Klay, Draymond, Looney, Wig, all them, play for Steve… It just happened so I’m just processing it all. I definitely want to get on the phone and talk to those guys and whatnot and see what’s what.”

CP3 also spoke about the funeral:

“It’s funny. I had a funeral to go to this morning. My great grandmother passed away on Friday. We got in town late last night and this morning I was at a funeral. My great grandmother was 95 years old. I went and spoke at something this afternoon, and it was crazy because in the book I talk about funerals and how tough they are to deal with…. And I had one this morning…. It’s the first time I’ve been to a funeral like that with my son who’s 14. I’m thinking about how I just wrote about this in the book and I’m living it today.

My grandmother’s mother, so I’m seeing a lot of my family members some of them I haven’t seen in 15 years or maybe longer. So all the emotions of that this morning. Then the trade… I had almost forgot about the funeral for a second there when we was talking about that because it’s so much, you know what I mean, but you keep moving.”

The full Lunch with Lindsay episode will be released on July 13.
