Patrick Mahomes Assists Logan Paul On Monday Night Raw

by

This week’s Monday Night Raw took place in Kansas City. Whenever the WWE visits a city that is home to an NFL franchise, you can expect to see some star players from that team show up during the broadcast in the crowd. Recently retired NFL center Jason Kelce has made a couple of in-ring appearances over the past couple of months. The WWE and the NFL have a lot in common, so it only makes sense for them to link up with one another. The WWE brought out Patrick Mahomes and US champion Logan Paul this week, and it was out of control. The Super Bowl champion gave Paul a big assist with some Super Bowl flair. 

Logan Paul, the reigning US champion in the WWE, is not resting on his laurels. His recent victory at WrestleMania, where he outshone WWE Legend Randy Orton and the great Kevin Owens in a triple-threat match, is just the beginning. Paul is determined to make a name for himself in the world of wrestling, and his performance on Monday Night Raw was a promising glimpse into his future success as a villain.

Patrick Mahomes Gifts Logan Paul Super Bowl Ring Brass Knuckles

Patrick Mahomes entered the arena with Paul and his crew, and Paul was dining on his championship belt. During Paul’s segment on Raw, Paul, Finn Balor, and JD McDonagh were all in the ring at the same time, putting a beating on Jey Uso. Paul slid out of the ring and approached Patrick Mahomes, who was sitting in the front row. Mahomes gave him some assistance using a pair of brass knuckles. After Mahomes took out his three Super Bowl rings and gave them to Paul, the quarterback threw them on, gave Mahomes a quick pat on the back, and stepped back into the ring.

Paul got ready to deliver a devastating blow to Jey Uso with the Super Bowl ring brass knuckles. Unfortunately for Paul and his crew, Uso saw it coming and got out of the way at the last moment. Paul’s teammate McDonagh took the punch and all of those diamonds to the face. Jey Uso dodged a bullet and laughed it off. Overall, Patrick Mahome’s appearance on Monday Night Raw was pretty entertaining. We hope it’s not his last appearance with the WWE.

by

A shooting outside of The Weeknd’s manager’s home has left one person in critical condition, according to ABC7. The Encino, Los Angeles home of Amir Esmailian, also known as Cash XO, who Drake infamously name-dropped on “Push Ups,” was reportedly the target of a rumored home invasion on Monday morning. Unfortunately, a security guard was shot outside of the mansion and is currently in critical condition. Below, we’ve broken down everything we know about the incident so far.

Shooting At Cash XO’s Home

According to the LA Times, Shortly before 2:30 a.m., the tranquility of Jayden Lane in Encino was shattered by the eruption of gunfire, prompting a swift response from law enforcement. Initial reports suggested a shooting at Esmailian’s residence, setting off a flurry of activity as officers rushed to the scene. The victim of the shooting is a 37-year-old security guard stationed outside the residence of Cash XO.

The Alleged Suspects 

According to law enforcement sources, the wounded guard, in his mid-to-late-30s, provided crucial information to authorities amidst the chaos. Describing his assailants as individuals clad in hoodies and surgical masks, the guard recounted their swift escape on foot following the barrage of bullets. Multiple witnesses corroborated the account, reporting the sound of gunshots ringing through the night.

Paramedics swiftly intervened, transporting the injured guard to a nearby hospital for urgent medical attention. Thanks to prompt medical intervention, the guard is expected to pull through, despite sustaining multiple gunshot wounds. His heroic actions in alerting emergency services potentially thwarted a more dire outcome.

Motive Under Scrutiny

As the investigation delves deeper into the heart of the matter, the motive behind the attack remains shrouded in mystery. Some of the immediate speculations online attempted to link Drake’s recent diss track toward The Weeknd to the shooting. However, police and music industry sources have downplayed any connection to Esmailian’s professional endeavors. Unfortunately, this may point towards a more sinister intent.

The incident has reignited concerns among residents regarding the safety and security of their neighborhood. Frustration looms as reports of increased break-ins and burglaries circulate. Residents lament the delayed response times of law enforcement, citing instances where criminals capitalize on the brief window of opportunity afforded by stretched resources. A data analysis conducted by ABC7 revealed a staggering 30% increase in burglaries within LAPD’s West Valley division since 2019, painting a grim picture of escalating crime rates in the area.

Conclusion

Thusfar, no statements have emerged from Cash XO addressing the matter. However, as investigations continue, it will only be a matter of time until Cash and the public gets more answers. We’ll keep you posted on anymore updates.

Diddy’s Daughter “Loves” Chloe & Halle’s Brother, She Says Under Prom Post

by

Love is in the air for Diddy’s daughter and Chloe and Halle Bailey’s brother, as Chance Combs and Branson Bailey recently went to their high school prom together over the weekend. Moreover, the 18-year-old Branson posted a couple of pictures of them together at the event with the captioned “take a chance 2k24,” to which the 17-year-old Chance commented “i love youu” underneath with purple and white heart emojis. Branson’s superstar sisters and DDG commented on their wholesome photos as well, as this marks a step in their relationship. They previously announced their partnership back in February for a Valentine’s Day post, and Chance is looking forward to pursuing acting at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts.

Furthermore, this was good news for the Combs family amid a very difficult and trying time for them all. Diddy faced a wave of sexual assault and sex trafficking accusations, manifesting in multiple lawsuits and other public claims. Some of them settled, most of them are still open, but all of them are based on unverified accusations and claims still under scrutiny under rule of law. It’s been a massive part of the media starting in late 2023, and regardless of what is just or unjust, the family must feel a lot of conflict and negativity right now.

Kendrick Lamar Claims Drake Sent A Cease & Desist Over “Like That” In New “Euphoria” Diss Track

by

It’s been more than a month since Future & Metro Boomin’s “Like That” sparked the biggest rap beef of 2024. Kendrick Lamar’s verse took shots at both J. Cole and Drake and it’s been an avalanche of developments ever since. That started when Cole hit back with a diss track of his own slipped into the tracklist of a mixtape called Might Delete Later. The project lived up to its name when Cole apologized for the diss and removed it from streaming services just a few days later. That was followed by Drake’s own response “Push Ups” which just hit the top 20 of the Hot 100 earlier today.

Now Kendrick Lamar has given everyone a big reason to keep talking about the beef. That came when he dropped his new song “euphoria” earlier today. It came as a midweek surprise to fans that had begun to think he may not be responding at all. The song is over 6 minutes long and fans immediately began dissecting what it had to offer. That included roping Sexyy Red into the equation and calling out Drake’s parenting directly. But another detail grabbing people’s attention has to do with the original song that started the entire affair, “Like That.” Check out what Kendrick had to say about it below.

Kendrick Claims Drake Tried To Stop “Like That” On “Euphoria”

In the new track, Kendrick delivers a lyric about Drake filing a cease & desist order over “Like That.” Fans have interpreted that he’s talking about the “Like That” remix made by Kanye West. The remix leaked onto the internet earlier this month and featured West becoming the most recent rapper to take shots at the “Rich Baby Daddy” hitmaker. If Kendrick is to be believed, it seems like Drake may have tried to shut this remix down as soon as possible.

What do you think of Kendrick Lamar claiming Drake sent a cease & desist order over “Like That” and Kanye West’s remix of it? Do you think “euphoria” firmly won the beef for Kendrick Lamar? Let us know in the comment section below.

Polo Perks, AyooLii Are Carefree On FearDorian-Produced “Ricky Eats Acid”

by

At the beginning of 2024 we introduced a new rapper to you via an Artists You Need To Check Out Right Now piece. It is a series we are running throughout the calendar year, introducing smaller names that we feel deserve recognition. One of the first to be shouted out was Milwaukee, Wisconsin rapper, AyooLii. He works alongside producer FearDorian quite often, and today he is teaming up with him once again. However, this is not an AyooLii exclusive track. “Ricky Eats Acid,” is a single from Harlem, New York rapper Polo Perks (POLO PERKS <3 <3 <3).”

Like AyooLii, Polo Perks, makes trap rap with a bit of a hazy and laid-back approach. “Ricky Eats Acid” fits that description too, although the energy is higher this time around. Polo sports a husky cadence over the simple beat and looping, ghostly background vocals. This track follows up two 2023 collaborations for Perks and it is his first solo release since March of last year.

You can tell from the music video that the “ALLYNDALE DR” MC has a lot of fun making music. That is evident from the song’s tone, but also from the music video. At the end, there is a blooper where he is laughing and goofing off with the background dancers. Be sure to support Polo Perks, AyooLii, and FearDorian and their new song with the link above.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new single “Ricky Eats Acid” by Polo Perks, AyooLii, and FearDorian? Is this one of his better tracks as of late, why or why not?

Galveston Responds To Charles Barkley After “Dirty Water” Joke

by

Charles Barkley is a national treasure. The Inside the NBA analyst and basketball legend constantly makes hilarious observations on the NBA show. The Hall of Famer recently joked during an appearance on the Inside the NBA broadcast that the New Orleans Pelicans should travel to Galveston, Texas, rather than Cancun over the summer. Chuck said that since they gave up on their series, they shouldn’t be allowed to go to Cancun and that they deserve the “dirty water” in Galveston. The comments went viral, with fans enjoying the joke and Galveston-related folk getting up and arms about the whole ordeal.

In his next appearance, Barkley apologized to one of Tina Knowles for disparaging her hometown. Tina said on Instagram, “Chuck we don’t play about Galveston Texas!” Tina said on Instagram. “You better watch it sucker! Our water might not be blue, but it is still the beach and we love it!”. After Chuck’s comments went viral, Galveston had to respond to the shade. Now, they have levied a response to the accusations from Sir Charles Barkley. The whole Galveston saga keeps getting funnier.

Kimberly Danesi, the CEO and spokesperson for Visit Galveston, responded to Charles Barkley’s comments with grace and appreciation. She expressed, “While Galveston might not be the place for Chuck, we’d be more than happy to host the New Orleans Pelicans and share our sun-kissed beaches, luxurious 4-diamond resorts, exclusive spas, million-dollar beach homes, world-class attractions, and exceptional gulf seafood.” Her words not only showcased Galveston’s offerings but also conveyed a sense of warmth and welcome.

The Pelicans are super available. They just got swept by the Oklahoma City Thunder on Monday. Charles Barkley may respond tonight during the Knicks Sixers. Barkley is no stranger to beefing with cities. He still throws shots at San Antonio and has been for more than a decade. Overall, Barkley and the Inside the NBA Crew make the NBA playoffs so much better. Galveston is a nice place, whether it has dirty water or not. Charles Barkley just set his targets on the Pelicans and their woeful performance, and Galveston got caught in the crossfire.
