Steve Harvey Catches Heat For Megan Thee Stallion Feet Question On “Celebrity Family Feud”
Steve Harvey has been the host of Family Feud and the Celebrity offshoot for many years now. Overall, he has proven to be the perfect host of the show. There have been numerous viral moments over the years, and it’s a show that continues to attract huge stars. In fact, during the most recent episode, Megan Thee Stallion and her family were guests. It was a highly-anticipated episode and for good reason. After all, fans out there do love themselves some Meg.
Having said that, it does appear as though her episode is starting to get a bit of criticism online. This is due to one of the survey questions that was asked at the top of the show. “Name something you’ve done to your mates feet,” Steve Harvey asked. Megan did not skip a beat as she rang in first and got the number one answer with “rubbed them.” However, fans could not help but think of Meg’s traumatic past in which she was shot in the foot by Tory Lanez. This subsequently led to some heat directed at both Steve Harvey and the show’s producers.

Adam22 Calls Interview Pop Smoke’s Alleged Killer ‘An Important Historical Record’
No Jumper’s host, Adam22, sparked controversy with his interview featuring Blockstar, recently released from jail for his alleged involvement in Pop Smoke’s killing.
The episode ignited a heated debate about ethics in hip-hop media. Amid the backlash, Adam22 has finally spoken out, defending the interview’s legitimacy and the platform’s role in addressing difficult conversations within the industry.
“I did that interview because I thought it was an important historical record,” Adam22 says. “I didn’t do that interview because I don’t care… That’s what a lot of people seem to think. ‘Adam just doesn’t give a f**k.’ That’s not the case at all. I did that interview because I thought it was an important historical record of somebody involved in one of the most tragic, insane stories in rap history.”
Of all the shocking moments from the interview, one that stuck was the lack of remorse from Blockstar. “It should’ve never happened, but I ain’t sorry. If I could go back, I’d go back. But I ain’t sorry. People die every day. [Pop Smoke] was rapping about it. All types of stuff. So, I ain’t sorry about it.”
