Marshawn Lynch On Russell Wilson: “He Was Just A Quarterback To Me”

October 4, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Shannon Sharpe didn’t get the story he was expected when he invited Marshawn Lynch on Club Shay Shay. The Hall of Famer was trying press Lynch on what might have led to the Seahawks trading Wilson to Denver. Instead, he got a much different insight into the 2010s Seahawks locker room. “I can’t speak on what went down because I didn’t fuck with them. I didn’t fuck with Pete and Russ…he was just a quarterback to me. As for what happened, I can’t pick up the phone and ask him what’s up cuz I don’t got his number. I would roll with him as a quarterback because I have done that. But beyond that… there’s no relationship there.”

Lynch joined the Seahawks via trade in 2010 and quickly became RB1 in Seattle. Meanwhile, Wilson was a third-round draft pick in 2012, winning the starting gig in the offseason and watched 2011 starter Travarius Jackson be traded to Buffalo. Arguably, the Wilson-Lynch connection, which lasted until the end of the 2015 season, was one of the best periods in Seahawks history. The pair won a Super Bowl together and arguably would have won another if Wilson had just handed the ball off to Lynch on the goal line. But it’s clear from Lynch’s comments that the chemistry ended as soon as they stepped off the field.

Lynch’s football career may be over. However, he may have found a new avenue in acting. This summer marked Lynch’s feature film debut as he appeared in a supporting role in the sex comedy Bottoms. Lynch plays Mr. G, a gym coach who serves as the faculty sponsor of the plot-central “gay fight club”.

Lynch’s performance was widely praised for adding comedy without overpowering the film. Furthermore, Lynch spoke about how he took the role as a form of atonement. “From the beginning when he read the script, he said that I came to mind. I was like, ‘Most definitely you should do it.’ I just told him, ‘It’ll get you to understand, get more knowledge about the lesbian community.’” Lynch went on to explain that he had not reacted well to his sister coming out during high school and wanted to use the queer sex high school comedy to help right the wrongs in his past.

Taraji P. Henson Says Beyonce’s Birthday Plans Ruined Her Renaissance Outfit Idea

October 4, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Taraji P. Henson says that she had an outfit in place for Beyonce’s Renaissance World Tour for months in advance, but was forced to audible when the legendary singer announced she wanted everyone to wear silver in honor of her birthday. Henson recalled the awkward incident during an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. The conversation arose when Fallon asked how she landed on the ninja-inspired outfit she went with for the Los Angeles concert.

“I had already had my outfit picked out for [Beyoncé’s] show, months in advance,” the comedian explained. “Then, she does this, ‘Oh, it’s my birthday. Let’s all wear silver.’ So, I mean, my house is being renovated and my clothes are in storage, so I randomly happened to buy this off of those Instagram Shopping pages.”

From there, Henson explained that the outfit was so low in quality that she had to throw it out after one use. “At the end of the day, that’s all I had for Beyoncé. It was kind of silver, had silver sparklies on it,” she recalled. “Long story short, I did have to throw it away at the end of the night because it had snags and holes — but thanks, Instagram Shopping!” Check out Taraji P. Henson’s full appearance on The Tonight Show below.

Yesterday (October 3), Spotify announced that premium subscribers in certain countries will receive 15 hours of free audiobook streaming per month. According to a report from NME, the feature has launched in Australia and the UK, and is set to launch in the US by the end of the year.

Spotify is primarily a music streaming platform, however, with the launch of the new feature, many Spotify users have questions about Spotify’s audiobook collection and how to listen to these books.

Do you have to pay for audiobooks on Spotify?

Spotify began carrying audiobooks last September, but at the time of their arrival to the streaming platform, they weren’t free. All users, including premium users, had to pay by the book to listen to each title.

According to a press release, Spotify currently carries “upwards of 70% of bestselling books, with titles from major publishers including Hachette, HarperCollins Publishers, Macmillan, Penguin Random House, Simon & Schuster, and RB Media, as well as independent authors and publishers globally, including Bolinda, Dreamscape, and Pushkin.” Spotify users can begin streaming audiobooks by selecting books marked with “Included With Premium.”

Other titles, as well as the premium titles, will be included in the Spotify library for purchase as à la carte titles.

You can see a trailer for the new feature above.

When Does The ‘Billboard’ Hot 100 Update?

October 4, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Each week, Billboard releases the list of songs featured on the Hot 100 chart. The ranking is determined by combining data from both sales and streaming numbers of all songs, which is compiled by Luminate.

When Does The Billboard Hot 100 Update?

Typically, the Billboard Hot 100 chart changes every Tuesday morning — along with most of their charts in general. The website notes that if there is a holiday that falls on a Monday, the chart’s update might be delayed until Wednesday of that week. Or if there’s just any sort of issue that prompts it to be postponed.

Fans can find the Hot 100 under Billboard‘s Chart News section each week for an early glimpse, too, as stories tied to the updated chart are typically released on Monday afternoons. So, basically, you would know who would be at the top spots before it technically updates.

For those who have other specific questions about the Hot 100 chart, Billboard‘s website mentions either emailing, contacting their Chart Beat editors, or submitting questions to their reader mailbag. The information on that can be found here.

On this week’s Hot 100, Doja Cat’s “Paint The Town Red” returned to No. 1, followed by SZA’s “Snooze,” Luke Combs’ cover of “Fast Car,” Taylor Swift’s “Cruel Summer,” and Zach Bryan’s collab with Kacey Musgraves on “I Remember Everything.”

Some artists covered here are Warner Music artists. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

Michael Jackson’s Estate Resolves Legal Battle Over Allegedly Stolen Belongings

October 4, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Jeffre Phillips was accused by Michael Jackson’s estate of stealing roughly $1 million worth of property from the late performer. Allegedly he entered his home after he passed in 2009, as he had previously been engaged to Jackson’s sibling, LaToya. According to the estate, the stolen items included CDs, DVDs, letters, awards, hard drives, and more.

They also said they believed Phillips planned on selling the items, and had moved forward in getting a judge’s help to recover the property. Now, according to legal documents obtained by TMZ, the two parties have settled. The details surrounding their settlement remain unknown. It’s additionally unclear whether or not the estate was able to recover the items.

Among the items believed to be stolen was also a sweet handwritten note from MJ’s son, Prince. Recently, the 26-year-old opened up about watching his father struggle with his appearance. He shut down allegations that his father wanted to be white, revealing that he wanted to “glow” instead.

“He had a skin condition called vitiligo,” Prince began. “I think it was even on the autopsy report. I think the cause of it– it’s up for speculation. But it’s either vitiligo or some form of lupus that contributed to the vitiligo. And he had a lot of insecurity around, kind of, looking blotchy. So, he wanted to see if he could smooth out his appearance. I think that ‘glowing’ may have also had something to do with it because he was visionary I guess in the way that he thought.” What do you think of MJ’s estate settling with Jeffre Phillips?

Shams Charania & Adrian Wojnarowski Reportedly Have A Contentious Relationship

October 4, 2023 by newhiphopnews

If you are an NBA fan who spends time on Twitter, you have probably encountered the reporting of Adrian Wojnarowski and Shams Charania. Firstly, Charania works for The Athletic, which is more of an online magazine. Secondly, you have Woj, who works for ESPN, although he used to be with Yahoo! Sports. Both of these men are extremely fast when it comes to reporting on trades, free agency signings, and anything else that has to do with the NBA.

Recently, both men have been criticized by fans for their moral standing in the journalism world. Some believe that Woj is too critical of players who stand up to the NBA establishment, while Shams is too friendly with the NBA and its players as a means to get a scoop. Simply put, they are both playing “the game.” However, their desire to be “first” on a story has created an unwritten rivalry. Everyone knows the rivalry exists, especially since they never talk to or about each other. Well, a new report from The Washington Post reveals just how far the rivalry goes.

People around the NBA are very much aware of the feud brewing between the two. Essentially, The Athletic refuses to use reports from ESPN, while ESPN avoids The Athletic, at all costs. If one of them reported on something first, the other would not engage with it. They will do their own reporting and keep it at that. Additionally, as mentioned before, they will not be uttering the other’s name, anytime soon. Reporters across publications can usually be seen chopping it up with one another. For Woj and Shams, however, that rivalry runs extra hot.

That said, NBA fans probably follow both of these men. They both report the same information extremely fast. Moreover, on big days like the trade deadline and free agency, you get to keep track of who was the fastest throughout the day. Let us know which reporter you prefer, in the comments section below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news from around the sports world.
