50 Cent Wants In On Ice Cube Big3 League

by

After taking in an NBA game between the Celtics and Rockets, 50 Cent is all in on basketball. However, specifically, he wants to bring Ice Cube’s Big3 league to Shreveport. “I had so much fun at the Boston/Rockets game man,” he wrote in the caption. “I told @icecube I want to bring the big 3 to Shreveport, all roads lead to Shreveport it’s a go!” Fif wrote on social media. The G-Unit mogul recently made the Louisana city his base of operations after operating a major film and television studio there.

Unlike traditional sports leagues, the Big3 doesn’t have home cities. Instead, the league travels from city to city for each game day. However, Shreveport is not an especially a basketball city. It’s primary basketball arena is the home arena of LSU-Shreveport, an NAIA college program. However, it’s possible that Fif would be willing to construct a temporary facility to host the league for a gameday.

Kai Cenat Meets 50 Cent At NBA Game, Asks For Role In Power

However, a desire to get in on the Big3 isn’t the only thing to come out of an NBA game for Fif. Kai Cenat has expressed a desire to appear Power while outlining a recent meeting with Fif. “Then 50 pulled back up, looking directly at me,” he told his viewers. “This n-gga literally puts his hand on my shoulder — ‘Yo brah, take a picture with my little mans real quick; he f-ck with you,’” Cenat claimed of the interaction at a recent Knicks-Bucks game. “I wasn’t in the moment of time of thinking that you were right there in front of me, but I should’ve asked you, ‘Would you let me on Power, 50?’ So I need everybody to get this video to 50,” Cenat added.

Cenat has been making a name for himself throughout 2023 as his star has shone brighter and brighter. This included getting a Christmas present from Ice Spice. The present in question was one of Spice’s branded chia pets. While Cenat was very excited to receive a gift from Spice, he was slightly confused by the gift. After closely inspecting the gift, Cenat declared that it didn’t look too much like Spice at all. Regardless, he was very happy to have received something from the high-profile rapper.

Timbaland Announced as Inductee in Songwriters Hall of Fame

Timbaland is headed to the Songwriters Hall of Fame.

The Songwriters Hall of Fame has announced its latest inductees for the 2024 Induction and Awards Gala, honoring musical luminaries who have left an indelible mark on the industry. The esteemed list also includes Hillary Lindsey, Dean Pitchford, R.E.M. (Bill Berry, Peter Buck, Mike Mills, and Michael Stipe), and Steely Dan (Donald Fagen and Walter Becker).

These legendary songwriters boast an impressive catalog of hits, such as “Jesus Take The Wheel,” “Big Pimpin’,” “Footloose,” “Losing My Religion,” and “Reelin’ in the Years.” The star-studded gala is scheduled for Thursday, June 13th, at the Marriott Marquis Hotel in New York City. Stay tuned for announcements on additional special award honorees.

“I’ve said it before, but the music industry does not exist without songwriters delivering great songs first. Without them there is no recorded music, no concert business, no merch . . . nothing, it all starts with the song and the songwriter,” said SHOF Chairman Nile Rodgers. “We are therefore very proud that we are continually recognizing some of the culturally most important songwriters of all time and that the 2024 slate represents not just iconic songs but also diversity and unity across genres, ethnicity and gender, songwriters who have enriched our lives and literally enriched music and the lives of billions of listeners all over the world.”

Founded in 1969, the Songwriters Hall of Fame (SHOF) plays a crucial role as a connecting link between the rich history and promising future of music. Within its hallowed halls, musical trailblazers are immortalized and honored, and the organization’s active engagement with the music community nurtures the emergence of the next generation of troubadours. Eligibility for induction is based on a songwriter’s substantial catalog of songs, making them eligible for consideration 20 years after the initial commercial release of a song.

6ix9ine Goes Off On Popular Spanish Radio Host Alofoke: Watch

by

A once-promising rap career has continued to spiral. We are referring to New York-bred artist, 6ix9ine. The eccentric MC of multicultural descent popped off in the late 2010s with his hit song “GUMMO.” From there he proved himself to be a consistent hitmaker. He put the doubters to bed with tracks like “FEFE” with Nicki Minaj and also working with Kanye West, Young Thug, Tory Lanez, and more. However, after 2020, 6ix9ine had a steep decline in productivity due to his legal battles. You can also attribute it to the fact that he was more of a meme than anything else.

It seems that deep down, people only gravitated toward him for his antics and viral clips online. Because of that, the music was perhaps always secondary and the streams were a byproduct of his ridiculous nature. He is low-hanging fruit for a lot of people and it seems that one person is taking advantage of 6ix9ine’s downward spiral. Alofoke is a very popular Spanish radio host of Alofoke FM 99.3. Their show on YouTube has well over five million subscribers and they cover a host of topics.

One of which they have a good amount of content on is 6ix and his troubling relationship with fellow artist Yailin la Mas Viral. There is little information on this seemingly ongoing beef between Alofoke and the rainbow-hair rapper outside of some commentary from other Spanish-speaking YouTube channels. Some people in the comments of DJ Akademik’s IG post about 6ix9ine clapping back at Alofoke believe this has to do with some unflattering remarks about the couple. You can see the response from the rapper above.

What are your thoughts on 6ix9ine going off on Alofoke on Instagram? What do you think the beef is about? Do you think our speculations are in the ballpark? Has 6ix9ine experienced one of the biggest fall-offs in rap history? Have you checked out his latest project BLACKBALLED? If so what tracks are you enjoying so far? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this. With that in mind, be sure to leave all of your hottest takes in the comments section below.

Eminem Is Ready To Suit Up For Lions

by

Eminem had pledged his allegiance to his hometown Lions, announcing that he is ready to do whatever the Lions need him to do to win. “Yo, Dan, I’m reporting. I’m going to report. Third quarter. I’m reporting, offensive line, eligible receiver. I’ll be the quarterback, the entire line, (the) offensive line. And the receiver, I will throw it to myself and score a touchdown. In the third quarter. Just give me a uniform. Or at least just a helmet,” Eminem said on Instagram.

The Lions are in a historic position, hosting back-to-back playoff games for the first time in franchise history. Furthermore, it is the first time that the Lions will play at least two playoff games since 1991. They face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who stunned the Eagles over the weekend.

Lions Make History

With their win over the Rams, and former franchise QB Matthew Stafford, the Lions won their first playoff game since 1991. It capped off an already historic season as head coach Dan Campbell led the team back to the playoffs for the first time since 2016 and their first double-digit wins season since 2014. Jared Goff, acquired from the Rams in 2021, was sensational – throwing for 4575 yards and 30 touchdowns. After taking down Los Angeles, Campbell was heard telling Goff, “You’re f-cking good enough for Detroit, Jared”. Another win and the Lions would be playing for a chance to make their first title game appearance since 1957.

However, as mentioned, Detroit now faces a dangerous opponent in Tampa Bay. A team that looked listless all season, and won the NFL’s worst division, was a completely different beast against the Eagles last weekend. Baker Mayfield, once a QB that nobody seemed to want, threw for 337 yards and 3 touchdowns in one of the best games of his career. Speaking on the effect of the win after an up-and-down season, Mayfield simply said that a “win cures a lot.” Despite this, the Lions open as -6.5 favorites per ESPN Bet.

Yung Miami Reveals Massive Monthly Earnings From “Caresha Please” Brand

by

Yung Miami revealed on Twitter in a since-deleted post, earlier this week, that she’s already brought in $1 million from her Caresha Please brand just this month. “I guess this is what failing in life look like,” she captioned a screenshot of the earnings. The image appears to stem from Shopify, on which she sells her popular drinking game, Resha Roulette, and other merchandise.

When The Jasmine Brand shared the deleted post on Instagram, fans weren’t thrilled. One user wrote: “Wassup with this trend of celebs showing ppl that are struggling to survive, eat and have shelte…. nvm Chile.” Another wrote: “Meanwhile healthcare workers and educators struggling to pay rent.”

In addition to the financial side, Miami’s Caresha Please podcast won the 2023 BET Hip-Hop Award for Best Hip-Hop Platform. That ended up being a controversial result, with not only fans, but many voices in hip-hop media calling it undeserved. Charlamagne The God of The Breakfast Club voiced his frustration with the decision. “We gotta stop,” he said at the time. “I love Caresha, I love Yung Miami to death, but come on now. Two years in a row? Like, I got mad love for Caresha but you’ve got platforms that come out daily, and you’ve got platforms that come out weekly.” Check out her earnings post below.

Soulja Boy Scolded By Wack 100 After Advocating For Blueface’s Release

by

Soulja Boy and Blueface have been embroiled in quite the feud as of late. Overall, the two have been threatening one another with some sort of fight. However, that won’t be happening anytime soon as Blue was recently arrested. Furthermore, the rapper is now going to have to spend six months in jail. Recently, Soulja Boy advocated for Blueface to be released, although he only did so because he wanted his shot at fighting him. He even had a lengthy soliloquy about freedom and how Soulja would much rather be himself than Blue right now.

“What would y’all rather be doing sitting in jail broke or free with millions of dollars,” Soulja Boy said. “Would y’all rather be rich with millions of dollars chilling doing whatever you want to do or would you rather be in jail broke owing $14 million and getting sued? Come on, there’s levels to this. You don’t want no real smoke. They going out sad about Big Draco.” This has subsequently led to some very strong words from none other than Wack 100. Below, you can see what he had to say.

Katt Williams Hits Ludacris With Vicious Freestyle

by

Katt Williams has dropped a freestyle aimed at Ludacris while appearing on Suge Knight’s Collect Call podcast. “I’m coming for your number one spot, one of us a killer and the other one is not/ One of us the realest and the other one a fraud/ You heard the interview on ‘Club Shay Shay,’ I gave ’em all a payday/ I’m still going f-cking viral so who care what the haters say/ Ludacris, you must be out your rabid a– mind/ You made a rap song but, n-gga, you ain’t say I’m f-cking lying,” Williams rapped. Furthermore, Williams implied that Ludacris had engaged in a sexual relationship with Quincy Jones.

Previously, Ludacris had dropped a freestyle aimed at Williams after the comedian suggested that Luda had earned his role in the Fast & Furious franchise after participating in an Illuminati ritual. “So there was a crossroads where we were both invited to an Illuminati thing, and it had to be one or the other of us and decisions had to be made. So it was both of us, we were equal. One of us had to cut off all their hair and couldn’t do the sideburn thing no more, with the points. And the next person they said was going to get $200 million because they were going to pay him $10 million a movie to do 20 movies. And that’s how the conversation happened. One of those persons turned out to be Ludacris, and the other person turned out to be Katt Williams,” Williams claimed.

Karlissa Saffold Confuses Fans With Katt Williams Claim

While Williams made many claims about various people during his Club Shay Shay interview, this has also led to many people making claims about him. Karlissa Saffold confused many of her fans after she claimed that Williams had shouted her out during his interview. Specifically, Saffold claimed that Williams had wanted her to play D’Wana in Next Friday. Saffold said that she turned down the role because of the outfit they wanted her to wear. The role was eventually played by Tamala Jones. Saffold’s comments appear to stem from fans telling her that she should have played D’Wana

However, people are already calling cap on Saffold’s claims. “Man cap I didn’t hear him say blueface momma or the name Karlissa,” one person argued. “Katt never said that I watched the whole 3 hour interview twice 😂,” agreed another. “LIES…KATT NEVER SAID THAT YOU HAD A POSSIBLE ROLE IN FRIDAY 😫,” a third added. Williams did not appear to reference Saffold in his wide-ranging interview. While Williams may have privately told Saffold about Next Friday, he did not appear to say anything to that regard on camera.

Chrisean Rock Shaken Up After Men Draw Guns During Filming Of Her Dating Game Show, Footage Surfaces Online

by

Whether fans want to admit it or not, Chrisean Rock is a star at this point. Although she gets into a lot of antics, she has been able to dominate the headlines over the last couple of years or so. Overall, her and Blueface are two people who know how to steal the spotlight. Unfortunately, this can lead to some pretty bad situations. There are lots of people out there looking to steal some clout off of them, and sometimes, they go to violent means to do so.

A good example of this happened yesterday as Chrisean Rock was filming a dating game show. The show in question was “20 Vs. 1” which has become a famous serious on YouTube at this point. However, while many were excited about the Chrisean episode, it ultimately ended in the worst way possible. As Chrisean described on Instagram Live, some men came in with guns and started pressing a contestant. Subsequently, an altercation ensued and a man was pistol-whipped.

Understandably, Chrisean was pretty shaken up over the whole thing. It was a scary ordeal, and it is unclear what happened to those who crashed the shoot.
