ESPN has been accused of submitting fake names to the parent organization of the Emmy Awards in order to acquire awards for their otherwise ineligible on-air personalities. The broadcaster would submit fake names as part of the credits lists for certain awards. If won, they won then take the awards and have them re-engraved. These re-engraved awards would then be given to the likes of Lee Corso and Desmond Howard. While College GameDay, the nexus of the scheme, won eight Emmys between 2008 and 2018, on-air talent was not eligible to receive ensemble production awards until 2023. This was to avoid individual personalities “double-dipping” on awards for the same body of work.
“Some members of our team were clearly wrong in submitting certain names that may go back to 1997 in Emmy categories where they were not eligible for recognition or statuettes. This was a misguided attempt to recognize on-air individuals who were important members of our production team. Once current leadership was made aware, we apologized to NATAS for violating guidelines and worked closely with them to completely overhaul our submission process to safeguard against anything like this happening again.
ESPN Embroiled In Feud Between Stephen A. Smith And Jason Whitlock
ESPN engaged in a scheme to win extra Emmys for College GameDay by unsubtly modifying the names of its hosts. This was to dodge a weird rule that prevented on-air talent from being eligible for some awards, so they just gave them fake names. https://t.co/197vT10zjspic.twitter.com/6dxOvYfQvw
Meanwhile, Stephen A. Smith, arguably the face of ESPN‘s on-air talent, has found himself in yet another bitter feud with Jason Whitlock. Smith absolutely tore into Jason Whitlock after the Blaze Media personality called Smith’s memoir “fiction”. Furthermore, Whitlock referred to the ESPN personality as “Stephen A. Myth”. “I mean it from my soul when I say this is the worst human being I’ve ever known. I don’t know of another human being worse than Jason Whitlock. He is a piece of sh-t. He’s the dude that’s going to have a funeral and ain’t going to be no pallbearers,” Smith said on his podcast.
Furthermore, other current and former ESPN employees chimed in to corroborate Smith’s comments about Whitlock, who was employed by the media giant on two separate occasions. “Stephen A Smith told the truth. Ole Boy tried to recruit a bunch of us to do some work for what was then the Undefeated and we did not want to work with him,” former ESPN journalist Jemele Hill said on X, formerly Twitter.
Cardi Bhas won a slight victory in her ongoing legal battle with a female security guard over an alleged assault that occurred in 2018.
A Small Victory
On Wednesday, a Los Angeles Superior Court judge dismissed the false imprisonment claim brought against the rapper in the lawsuit filed by the security guard, Emani Ellis. In the lawsuit, Emani Ellis claimed that she approached Cardi B to ask for a photo when the rapper became upset and a heated argument ensued.
Ellis alleged that Cardi struck her in the head, face, and body, while also spitting on her and using racial slurs, as Ellis identifies as African American. She further accused Cardi and her team of using their influence to get her fired from her job at a medical building.
Cardi B has denied all allegations. The recent court decision comes as a small victory for Cardi B, as the false imprisonment claim has been dismissed from the lawsuit.
Court Rescheduled
This means that Ellis no longer has a legal basis to argue that she was unlawfully detained by Cardi B during the incident. The court has rescheduled the trial date from February to April 2024.

Cardi B Refuses To Back Down In Security Guard Lawsuit
Cardi B is not backing down in her ongoing legal battle. As she gears up for an upcoming trial, the Bronx rapper has made a bold move to have several claims in a lawsuit filed by a security guard thrown out.
The Bane Act
Recently, Cardi B has asked a Los Angeles Superior Court judge to dismiss two claims brought against her by a security guard. The lawsuit, which stems from an alleged medical office dispute, includes claims of false imprisonment and violation of the Bane Act, a California law that protects individuals from force or threats of violence against their constitutional rights.
The lawsuit was filed by a female security guard named Emani Ellis, who alleged that Cardi B physically assaulted her and “used multiple profanities and racial slurs against Ellis who is African American,” during the incident.
The Incident
Ellis asserted that she approached the “Bodak Yellow” rapper for a photo but was ultimately declined. During this period, Cardi B was pregnant with her eldest daughter, Kulture, but had not yet revealed the news to the world, maintaining a private pregnancy at the time.
Cardi’s defense argues that the claim of false imprisonment should be dismissed due to it being filed past the statute of limitations. The incident in question occurred in February 2018, while Ellis filed the lawsuit in February 2020.
Additionally, the “Hot Sh!t” rapper’s legal team questions how she could have interfered with Ellis’s constitutional rights to engage in legitimate employment, as alleged. The judge has yet to rule on these motions.
Cardi Demands Dismissal
While Ellis claims that she was fired from her job as a result of Cardi B’s actions, representatives from the medical building deny these allegations.
Cardi B, who denies all claims, demands the dismissal of all allegations and seeks to put an end to the legal battle. The upcoming trial is scheduled for February 1.
Cardi’s Past Legal Victory
In addition to her current legal battle, Cardi B has been caught up in other legal entanglements recently.
Notably, she sued gossip blogger Tasha K for defamation and emotional damages, resulting in a victory for Cardi B. This ongoing legal saga highlights her readiness to take on those who spread falsehoods about her.
Offset Sued For Assault & Battery By Security Guard
Interestingly, Cardi B’s husband Offset has also found himself in a similar legal situation. In late November of 2023, Offset was sued for assault and battery by a security guard at ComplexCon. It appears that legal battles seem to follow this power couple, as they continue to face allegations and fight for their innocence.

Rumors and straight-up misinformation being spread online is an epidemic. It can impact some celebrities and high-profile musicians in particular as people online are liable to make almost any claim they want about them. That privilege has been particularly protected on X, formerly known as Twitter. Since the company was taken over by controversial billionaire Elon Musk it’s been more difficult than ever to separate fact from fiction on the platform.
One person who’s noticed that is 21 Savage. Earlier this week he made a series of announcements that had fans buzzing. It started when he confirmed that a biopic based on his life story would be dropping soon. Fans were surprised to see that Donald Glover was involved in the project, though at the time his role was unclear. Later when a trailer for the film dropped, it was revealed that he will be playing Savage at an earlier point in the rapper’s life. On top of those bombs, Savage also revealed that he’s dropping his first solo album in 6 years alongside the film. The album is also called American Dream and is due for release tonight. But with this blitz of news, there was unsurprisingly some misinformation going around.
In a new tweet, 21 Savage says “Yall be on here saying anything.” While it’s unclear if there’s any one specific rumor or piece of misinformation that’s bothering him he’s clearly seeking out some clarity. Hopefully when the album and accompanying short film drop, all the misinformation bothering him
Earlier this week, Savage teased potential features for the new album. That’s caused fans to rush to the comments to speculate if big names will appear. Drake, Young Thug, and Travis Scott have all been heavily speculated. The album will drop tonight in the midst of a stacked weekend. It also includes new projects from Kid Cudi and Kali Uchis as well. What do you think of 21 Savage’s response to fans spreading misinformation online? Let us know in the comment section below.

For those who don’t know, Diddy has been hit with an array of lawsuits in recent months, which contain accusations of sexual assault, physical and emotional abuse, and more. It all started when his ex Cassie sued him in November, making countless damning allegations against the Bad Boy Records founder. Amid the fallout, Diddy has stepped down as chairman of Revolt, left the Grammys “evaluating” their decision to invite him to the 2024 ceremony, and more.
These aren’t the only consequences Diddy appears to be facing as a result of the suits, however. Recently, it was also reported that he’s been cut out of scenes from Yung Miami’s upcoming reality show. These reports follow some serious backlash she’s received amid his lawsuits.

Kodak Black finds himself in legal trouble again as he prepares for a mandatory arraignment and bond status hearing related to his arrest in December 2023.
More Legal Woes For Yak
Kodak Black faces a mandatory arraignment and bond status hearing about his arrest in Plantation, Florida, in December 2023. According to the Broward Clerk, Judge Barbara Duffywill preside over the case.
A capias order, which commands law enforcement officers to arrest Kodak Black if seen, was filed by Judge Duffy on Wednesday, Jan. 10.
What’s A Capias Order?
A capias order is typically issued by a judge when a person fails to comply with a court order. In Kodak Black’s case, it was issued due to his pending charges in Broward County Court, where the rapper is known to have two possession cases pending in Fort Lauderdale.
Kodak Black’s attorney, Bradford Cohen, has filed a notice with the Broward Clerk for a ‘Motion To Suppress’ hearing scheduled for Feb. 23.

Kodak Black’s Attorney Exposes Lab Report: No Cocaine
Kodak Black’s attorney, Bradford Cohen, has made shocking allegations after a lab report revealed that the white substance found during the rapper’s December 2023 arrest was not cocaine but oxycodone.
Not Cocaine?
On Tuesday, Jan. 9, Bradford Cohen, the attorney for Kodak Black, posted on Instagram, revealing that the lab report related to the South Florida rapper’s Dec. 2023 arrest in Plantation, Florida, did not indicate a positive test for cocaine.
Instead, it showed the presence of oxycodone. In the Instagram caption, Cohen expressed:
“As stated when this new case first was filed. This was not cocaine and the officer was lying about his observations. We finally got the lab report…its oxycodone that Kodak had a prescription for and not an illegal substance. Knowing that the officer substantially misrepresented his observations, the Broward State Atty Office still filed the charged. Unbelievable and it will not be tolerated. This level of abuse of power by the arresting officer is disgusting. We will be seeking a new bond hearing and addressing these unethical practices by the police department.”
According to the report, the substance discovered during the “Walk” rapper’s arrest was identified as oxycodone, a drug for which Black had a valid prescription. This contradicts the initial claims made by Officer A. Stern, who alleged that he found Black in his mouth full of white powder, which he believed to be cocaine.
Kodak Black’s legal troubles date back to his December 7, 2023 arrest when he was caught passed out behind the wheel of his Bentley in Plantation, Florida. In addition to the cocaine possession charge, the rapper faced other offenses at the time.
However, with this new evidence, the validity of the original allegations is being called into question.
As the case unfolds, Kodak Black is currently in federal custody at FDC. He is scheduled for a final hearing on Jan. 22 in the Miami division of Federal Court.

Kodak Black’s Lawyers Request Judge to Enroll Him In Drug Treatment Program
Kodak Black recently found himself in federal court in Miami facing probation violation allegations. During the proceedings, the South Florida rapper’s attorneys sought permission for him to enroll in a drug treatment program.
Kodak’s Defense Team Requests Treatment
Kodak Black recently made an appearance in a federal court in Miami on Tuesday, Dec. 19. During his court hearing, his attorneys requested that the judge grant permission for the rapper to attend a 90-day drug treatment program in Arizona.
The defense team argued that Black became dependent on Percocet and Oxycodone after being assaulted in a Kentucky prison in 2020. However, authorities opposed the reasoning, arguing that the proposed program fell outside their jurisdiction and raised concerns about the lack of control probation officers would have over Black’s actions.
Judge Defers Decision
The judge decided to defer the decision on the treatment program to the judge overseeing the rapper’s case. Despite the request for enrollment in a drug treatment program, Kodak Black will continue to remain in federal custody.
He was taken into custody for allegedly violating probation. The arrest came about after authorities found him passed out behind the wheel of his Bentley in Plantation on December 7, charged with cocaine possession and other offenses. According to the arrest report, the responding officer discovered Black’s mouth full of white powder, which later tested positive for cocaine.
Following his release from a Broward jail, Kodak Black was apprehended by federal authorities due to the probation violation.

Kodak Black Comes Clean About Lean Use
Kodak Black has admitted to drinking lean after his recent arrest. In a candid statement made on Instagram Live, he acknowledged his use of the substance but denied the possession of cocaine.
‘I Was On The Lean Homie’
On Dec. 11 after a fan asked Kodak Black what happened the day of his latest arrest, which occurred on Dec. 7, the South Florida rapper admitted to drinking lean and being on other drugs on his Instagram Live.
“I was on the lean homie. I was on the lean. I was asleep in front of my family house bro and that’s it. I was sleep in front of my people’s house,” Kodak said.

However, the “Super Gremlin” rapper was quick to clarify that he does not consider himself a “junkie” or someone who indulges in hard drugs. In one of his statements, he vehemently declared:
“I Ain’t No Baser. I Ain’t No Junkie, B*tch.”
Following Kodak’s confession, users on Twitter (X) reacted to his claims of abstaining from hard drugs. One user named @worldex_ex commented “I’m not sure of this.” Another user named @pipsfinder commented “he can’t survive without drugs.”
Kodak’s Attorney Backs Him Up
The Kuthroat BillVol. 1 artist’s attorney, Bradford Cohen, spoke out about his client’s recent arrest, suggesting that it may have been a case of mistaken drug identification. According to Cohen’s statement to TMZ, he believes that the substance found during the arrest will likely be identified as Percocet, not cocaine.
“In this latest case, my belief is that the ‘rock’ this officer found when tested will be a Percocet, not cocaine,” Cohen said. “The arresting officer tested the powder on the scene and says it came back positive for cocaine … but Cohen says, “The test they do is a presumptive test for illegal substances. It just turns blue.”
Cohen further mentioned that Kodak has had a previous struggle with prescription painkillers, shedding light on the rapper’s history with these types of medications.

Kodak Black Caught Swallowing Cocaine During Recent Arrest
As new details emerge from his recent arrest, Kodak Black found himself in hot water. The Florida rapper was reportedly caught with a mouthful of cocaine.
New Details Emerge
The 26-year-old rapper was apprehended on Thursday, Dec. 7, when police discovered him sleeping inside his black 2019 Bentley SUV, blocking part of the road.
The arrest of Kodak took place as the officer noticed a strong smell of burnt weed coming from the rapper’s vehicle. Upon approaching the driver’s side, the officer found Kodak asleep with the window halfway down. Further inspection of the SUV revealed weed residue in the console and an alcoholic beverage in a Styrofoam cup.
But what shocked the arresting officer was his discovery of the “Super Gremlin” rapper swallowing a mouthful of cocaine. Asking Kodak if there were any illegal items in the vehicle, the officer received a response of “weed.”
Percocet Or Cocaine?
However, while the officer was running a check on Kodak’s driver’s license, he witnessed a white powder falling from the rapper and noticed that his mouth was full of the substance. Despite the rapper’s claims that it was Percocet, the powder was later confirmed to be cocaine.
The troubling incident not only led to charges of possession of cocaine and tampering with evidence but also triggered a probation violation related to a prior federal case. As of now, the “No Flockin” rapper remains in custody awaiting his court appearance for these serious charges.

Kodak Black Arrested On Cocaine Possession & Other Charges
Kodak Black has once again found himself in legal trouble. The South Florida rapper was recently arrested for cocaine possession and other charges.
Kodak Black Arrested
Kodak Black, whose real name is Bill Kapri, is facing charges of possession of cocaine and tampering with physical evidence. This arrest adds to Kodak’s list of legal troubles and his recent saga of arrests, further fueling the controversies surrounding the artist.
On Dec. 7, the “Walk” rapper was arrested in Plantation, Florida, and was subsequently booked into the Broward County Sheriff’s Office. The specific details of his arrest have not been disclosed to the public at this time.
Kodak’s Past Legal Woes
However, this arrest marks another setback for the rapper, who has made headlines for his previous brushes with the law.
The recent arrest is not the first time that Kodak has faced legal issues. In July 2022, he was arrested in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, on charges of possession of a controlled substance and trafficking oxycodone. His lawyer, Bradford Chen, had alleged that the arrest was a cover-up and sought a dismissal.
Users on Twitter (X) reacted to Kodak’s arrest, with many not being surprised. One user named @Cejezy commented, “Bro can’t go a whole year without getting in trouble,” and one other user named @Troyse1 joked by commenting, “Trump is not coming to save him this time,” referring to former United States president Donald Trump pardoned him in January 2020.
Is Kodak OK?
On October 24, during an interview with Drink Champs, the South Florida rapper was seen exhibiting signs of being under the influence. His speech was slurred, and he appeared unable to sit still. Fans took to social media to express their worries, questioning why the hosts, N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN, decided to have Kodak on the show, given its promotion of alcohol and marijuana use.
‘Kodak Black Day’
On a more positive note, in November 2023, Kodak Black received an honor from Palm Beach County, Florida, as he was awarded his own “Kodak Black Day.” During the ceremony, he sported a blue jacket and hat featuring the slogan “Make America Great Again,” associated with former President Donald Trump.
YSL Mondo Faces Drug Charges
Another rapper who recently faced drug-related charges is YSL Mondo. In August 2023, he was arrested in Georgia on multiple drug and gun charges after a search was conducted at his residence.
Nick Saban has denied speculation that his retirement was due to the evolving world of compensation for college athletes. “Don’t make it about that. It’s not about that. To me, if you choose to coach, you don’t need to be complaining about all that stuff. You need to adjust to it and adapt to it and do the best you can under the circumstances and not complain about it,” Saban told ESPN. While Saban had previously expressed doubts about NIL, namely that is could create a “pay to play” system, he also acknowledged that it was the future of college athletes.
However, that didn’t stop people pointing the finger of blame at the system for Saban’s departure. Colorado head coach Deion Sanders, a vocal opponent of NIL, openly suggested that Saban had retired due to NIL rules in a tweet reacting to the news. As for Saban’s replacement, frontrunner Dan Lanning also already announced that he intends to stay and see out his contract with Oregon.
First reported by ESPN, Saban announced his retirement on January 10. Saban hung up his headset after 17 seasons with the Crimson Tide. Saban led Alabama to six national titles and finished the 2023 season with a Rose Bowl loss to eventual champions Michigan. Saban’s coaching journey began all the way back in 1973 as a graduate assistant at Kent State. His first head coaching role was at Toledo in 1990. He would hold the same position at Michigan State, LSU, and the Miami Dolphins before coming to Alabama in 2007. He immediately turned around an ailing program, turning them into them into the powerhouse they are today.
Saban, who turned 72 last October, has previously been coy about retirement. I’ve always said that if you’re thinking about retirement, you’re probably already retired, and I’m not there yet,” Saban told ESPN in November. Saban, who is yet to confirm his retirement, ends his career with a record of 292-71-1 in 28 total seasons as a college head coach. He has seven National championships, 12 conference titles, and 19 bowl game victories. Alabama are expected to remain a title contender in 2024.
Houston artist Viper has recently been arrested and charged with aggravated kidnapping. The shocking accusation states that the rapper had allegedly been holding a woman captive in his south Houston home for several years.
Kidnapped?
Viper, whose real name is Lee Carter, was arrested on Jan. 4 after Houston police responded to a kidnapping in progress at his residence.
Lee Carter, a Houston-based rapper who performs under the stage name Viper, has been arrested and charged with aggravated kidnapping after allegedly holding a woman captive in his home for four to five years: https://t.co/7LrjK0cSsepic.twitter.com/dyar1SLRnP
The officer at the scene communicated with a voice coming from a window of the attached garage, where the victim had been confined.
The victim informed the officer that she had been kidnapped by Carter approximately “four or five years ago” while panhandling in Houston. She recounted how Carter had coerced her into getting into his car and subsequently took her back to his property.
Court Document Details
Court documents reveal the horrific conditions the woman endured during her captivity. Carter allegedly kept her locked up in the attached garage, depriving her of a proper bathroom and shower facilities.
She claimed that he repeatedly sexually assaulted her while feeding her drugs, including crack cocaine and other narcotics, along with a diet consisting mainly of chips. Occasionally, Carter would allow her into the house for brief periods to bathe before returning her to the garage.
In one instance, the woman managed to escape through the garage window, seeking help from the police who took her to the hospital. However, she was eventually released back to Carter. Out of fear, he allegedly boarded up the window and threatened her with physical harm if she ever attempted to escape again.
When the responding officer observed the woman in Carter’s garage, she appeared extremely malnourished and had not showered in two months. Upon prying open the garage, authorities discovered a mattress covered in vomit, bags of chips, and Twinkies, along with a “makeshift toilet” and dripping faucet.
The woman’s hair was unkempt and dirty, and her clothes were filthy. She had pleaded with Carter daily to release her, surviving mainly on snacks without receiving proper meals.
Viper Speaks Out
Users on Twitter (X) reacted to the news of Viper being arrested.
One user named @pinkfloatingeye commented, “didn’t expect f*cking VIPER to get arrested for having a sex slave for half a f*cking decade on my 2024 bingo card that’s for f*cking sure,” and one other user named @maleadanniels commented “Viper got f*cking arrested? End 2024 already for f*cking real dewd.”
Viper was held in custody at Harris County Jail after his arrest, but on January 9 he took to his Twitter (X) account to announce his freedom and claim his innocence.
“I AM INNOCENT!!! I AM OUT OF JAIL!!! I DID NOT DO ANY OF THE ALLEGATIONS AND I WILL BE FULLY EXONERATED AND MY EVIDENCE WILL PROVE MY INNOCENCE!!!” Viper commented.
No jail sentence has been announced for him at this time.
Soulja Boy Faces Major Legal Woes
In a distressing parallel, Atlanta rapper Soulja Boy recently faced a similar accusation, as he was found guilty of holding a gun to his ex-girlfriend’s head and threatening her life. The ex-girlfriend claimed that Soulja Boy had instructed his assistant to tie her up with duct tape and forcibly dragged her into the house from the garage, where she was forced to take multiple showers.
One of hip-hop, pop, and R&B’s favorite couple just dropped a bombshell announcement ahead of a huge release. Moreover, we’re all expecting Kali Uchis’ new album Orquídeas in our hands very soon– in mere hours, in fact, as it drops tomorrow (Friday, January 12). However, ahead of its release, she decided to drop a new dual music video and two tastes of new tracks titled “Tu Corazón Es Mío / Diosa” (Your Heart Is Mine / Goddess) on her YouTube page to get fans excited for the full-length. But the dual single and music video also serves a dual purporse. The Colombian-Virginian singer announced that she is pregnant with her first child, whose father is her boo Don Toliver, and we and the rest of fans couldn’t be more excited for them.
Furthermore, this is exactly the narrative that the “Tu Corazón Es Mío / Diosa” music video portrays. For example, the couple cooks some eggs and other foods together in their opulent house, and it also features home recording footage of the two stars growing up. Eventually, they hit the road and travel through some more lavish set-pieces and locations, while also intercutting footage of their sonogram and other early pregnancy moments. It’s a very engaging visual treatment that follows previous singles for Orquídeas such as “Te Mata” and “Labios Mordidos.” Kali Uchis is clearly bringing us something very special, and we can’t wait to dive into how the album’s themes will connect to this happy news.
Kali Uchis’ “Tu Corazón Es Mío / Diosa”: Stream & Watch The Music Video
Meanwhile, the “Muñekita” star’s new songs sound phenomenal: they contrast each other well between a more traditional ballad and dancehall and reggaetón-inspired rhythms. As always, Kali Uchis’ vocals soar over her chosen instrumentation, and despite the winter cold across much of the world right now, this will heat you right back up. Hopefully Orquídeas contains many more gems like these, something we’d be ready to bet an arm and a leg on. If you haven’t heard “Tu Corazón Es Mío / Diosa” yet, check out the music video above and peep some standout lines below. Also, as always, check back in with HNHH for more amazing music releases around the clock.
Quotable Lyrics (translated from Spanish according to music video’s YouTube description) Been together a while, And I know sometimes things get difficult, For you, I’d do it a hundred thousand times more, for better or for worse, You know that I’ll always be by your side
