Post Malone Just Bought The Viral, 1-Of-1 ‘Magic: The Gathering’ Card That’s Been Valued At Over $2 Million
Post Malone is a noted Magic: The Gathering fan: He teamed up with the long-running card game for a promotion in 2021, at which time Wizards Of The Coast Head of Franchise Marketing Nathan Stewart said, “You’d be hard-pressed to find a bigger fan of Magic: The Gathering than Post Malone.” That indeed seems to be true, as he just bought one of the most important cards in the franchise’s history.
On June 20, MTG released its The Lord Of The Rings: Tales Of Middle-Earth set, and what’s especially notable here is the holographic The One Ring card, of which only one was made. The card was found later that month, but even before that, it drew offers of over $2 million. Now, the person who found the card has cashed out, by selling it to, of course, Posty.
The guy who found the card, a Canadian named Brook Trafton, shared a video of himself meeting up with Post to sell the rapper the card. He wrote in his tweet, “This is my dream come true, meeting @PostMalone and him buying the One Ring card from me is literally a moment straight out of a fairytale. @PostMalone @wizards_magic you’ve changed my life. Things like this don’t happen to people like me. Forever grateful #mtg #onering.”

It’s not clear how much Malone spent on the card, but if it was anywhere near the card’s valuation, this transaction did indeed change Trafton’s life.
Malone has poured some serious money into MTG: last year, he spent $800K on what was then the game’s most expensive card. Malone, by the way, is depicted on his own official MTG card.
Lil Baby’s Ex Jayda Cheaves Claps Back At Summer Walker
Jayda Cheaves and Lil Baby have certainly been through quite a bit of drama over the years. However, they are no longer together. Initially, Jayda tried to stay with Baby despite his misgivings. Although, she has since revealed that this was a mistake. Now, she is flourishing and living life the way she wants. Unfortunately for her, she is still being dragged into other people’s mess. This was on full display recently as Summer Walker dragged her into some Lil Meech drama.
As we reported earlier this week, Summer Walker seemingly revealed that she was breaking up with Lil Meech. Moreover, Summer alluded to the fact that this was all due to some infidelity. “Tried my best to be jayda wayda but I couldn’t. It was cute though, I wish him the best,” Summer wrote. “Can’t do that cheatin stuff.” Subsequently, Summer was hit with lots of criticism for bringing another woman into this, especially when she has nothing to do with the situation.

According to HipHopDX, Jayda Cheaves has since responded to Summer Walker in the comments of The Shade Room. “I learned my lesson after ONE kid,” she said. “Mfers round here starting they own trends and trying to INSERT ME in for laughs on the shade room. NO.” In the midst of all of this, Lil Meech was going viral for a Ring camera video in which he could be seen with another woman. However, he has since claimed that he did nothing wrong, and that Summer won’t be leaving him, anytime soon.
Needless to say, Jayda Cheaves is not going to be tolerating any slander or sneak disses. Overall, you really cannot blame her for taking this approach. She didn’t have anything to do with Meech and Summer’s situation, which made her name drop feel icky. Let us know your thoughts on this entire drama, in the comments section down below.

Charleston White Disses Bronny James While Live With Adin Ross
Charleston White is someone who exists solely to poke the bear. Every single time you hear his name, it is because he is doing something wild on social media. Overall, he is a very disrespectful person. Whether it be his enemies or those he doesn’t even know, he always has to say the most ridiculous thing possible. Although this does get him into trouble, he simply keeps doing it. Of course, this helps gain him clout, and if he were to stop, people would forget about his existence entirely.
Recently, Charleston White found himself on a livestream with the likes of Adin Ross. Ross is also a provocateur of sorts who has gotten himself into trouble in the past. However, during this particular livestream, it was clear that White was the aggressor, while Ross was taken a bit off guard. In the video clip below, you can see the extent of the interaction. As it turns out, things were going fine until White decided to bring up Bronny James and his recent medical emergency.

Charleston White x Adin Ross
Last week, Bronny James suffered a cardiac arrest. Overall, this was a frightening story that had the sports world rallying around the 18-year-old. However, White decided to get disrespectful about the whole thing. When Adin warned him to tread lightly in regards to his friend, White said “f*ck Bronny.” This subsequently prompted Ross to end the livestream, once and for all. It was yet another example of Charleston White flying just a bit too close to the sun.
Although, we truly doubt this will stop him from acting in this manner. It has become his staple, and he is more than happy to stir the pot for thousands of viewers. Whether or not someone ever truly checks him for it, remains to be seen. Let us know what you think of his comments about Bronny, down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the sports world.

“I was young. I had just got married. I’m getting a lot of money,” Offset said. “Really, it was communication.

Summer Walker Speaks After Lil Meech is Seen on Ring Camera: ‘Ima Give it to God’
After confirming a split with Lil Meech, Summer Walker blasted the BMF star after he was caught on a Ring camera with another woman. Meech hit Instagram and said he was helping his cousin with whom he went to the grocery store.
Summer would hit her Instagram stories with a statement:
It’s just crazy how a nigga will really try to pursue the fuck out of you for 2 years, make you meet they whole family, wanna be around you and your kids all day, & pay bills just to embarass you to the world lmao
I don’t understand men but ima give it to God
When Summer Walker and Lil Meech went public with their relationships, fans couldn’t get enough! While the linkup between the R&B songstress and BMF star was unexpected, the internet quickly accepted the love affair as fans could only sit back and wish for the best.
Now, it seems Summer Walker is fed up with Lil Meech’s shenanigans. Sharing to her 5.7 million followers on Instagram, the “Girls Need Love” recording artist shared her thoughts on Instagram Story: “Tried my best to be jayda wayda but I couldn’t.” This seemingly alludes to Jayda Cheaves’ relationship with Lil Baby, which ended up in a split.
In fact, Jayda entered the chat on The Shade Room, commenting, ““I learned my lesson after ONE kid. Mfers round here starting they own trends and tryna INSERT ME in for laughs on the shade room. NO ”
Summer Walker continued on her Story: “It was cute though, I wish him the best.”
On the next slide, Summer Walker confirmed by writing, “Can’t do that cheatin stuff.”
To further fuel the fire, Summer Walker proceeded to post a 54-second clip from her interview with Yung Miami, touching on what she won’t put up with in a relationship.
Just earlier this month, a woman named Tiffany Marie DM’ed Summer Walker on Instagram, claiming she was pregnant with Lil Meech’s child. She wrote, “Hey girl, I just wanted to come to you woman to woman before I go to the blogs. Me and Meech have been seeing each other for the past four months and now I am pregnant. He blocked me on social media so I can’t even reach him and he changed his phone number. So maybe you can relay the message since he decided to ghost me.”
Meech then took things into his own hands, responding to Tiffany via Summer’s IG. He wrote: “Bitch, why are you lying. This meech. You don’t know me. Stop playing before I have somebody at your job.”
Sadly, this wasn’t the first time Meech had been caught in infidelity. And now, looks like Summer Walker is moving on to bigger and better things.
