Shannon Sharpe Gets Brutally Honest About Skip Bayless’ Downfall

by

Shannon Sharpe and Skip Bayless fell out of favor with one another, and pretty well everyone saw this coming from a mile away. Overall, Bayless was doing way too much as it pertains to the disrespect. Shannon subsequently left Undisputed so that he could do his own thing. It was a good move as Club Shay Shay has exploded in popularity. Meanwhile, Skip is out at FS1 and Undisputed was canceled. Recently, Shannon spoke about all of this on Nightcap with Chad Ochocinco.

“I’ll be 100% honest. I didn’t want Skip’s show to get canceled,” Sharpe said. “Just because he and I can’t eat off the same plate, that doesn’t mean I don’t want to see him eat. I think the thing is the misconception was, and this is what I tell people and l’ve told people in private and I’ll say this publicly, Skip gave me the opportunity.” Sharpe eventually went on to confirm that Skip was crossing too many boundaries and eventually, he had to put a stop to all of it.

Shannon Sharpe Remains Diplomatic

“I felt what he did. It wasn’t what he said, it was who said it. It’s like Ocho and I, there are certain things I know that I shouldn’t cross with Ocho,” he said. “Ocho knows there are certain things that we shouldn’t cross with each other. We can joke, yeah we joke, we go back and forth. But I didn’t want his show to get canceled. He gave me an opportunity. I would love to see him go on. I just realized at that moment, he and I was never going to be able to eat off the same plate again.”

Big Boi Is Furious After A Woman Mistakes Him & Sleepy Brown For “Migrants” While On Tour

by

As two of the best Atlanta-based artists of the past 35 years or so, it’s hard to not know who Big Boi and Sleepy Brown are. They’re currently on tour with Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue, and a recent interaction in California had André 3000’s enduring partner feeling very confused. “We’re on the tour bus in Cali right…” he tweeted on Tuesday (September 3). “we stopped for breakfast… why this lady ask sleepy brown  ‘Are ya’ll migrants being dropped off ‘ …Bish What ?” We can’t explain why this woman characterized these Dungeon Family members as that, but we can’t imagine that such a comment landed particularly well with either musician.

Elsewhere, Big Boi is reflecting on this Dungeon history by recently mourning the loss of one of its pillars: Rico Wade. “This is a different type of hurt ….” he wrote in an Instagram tribute post to the producer and curator that was so instrumental to the collective’s sound, success, and story. “Slick Ricky Wade .. I know you’re with us STILL … in a bigger role now… Big Angel Energy… the Highest of Vibrations … Praise Yah .#RicoWade #DungeonFamily #WeDF.”

Big Boi Can’t Believe A Woman Thought He & Sleepy Brown Were “Migrants”

As far as other Outkast news, André 3000 and Big Boi recently sued the EDM duo ATLiens for copyright infringement due to their name’s use of a term the rap duo coined on their 1996 album. “Defendant also advertises, offers for sale and sells products to consumers in this state and in this District though its interactive website, including merchandise bearing the ATLIENS mark,” the lawsuit reportedly reads. “The word ATLIENS was invented by Outkast. Before Outkast created it, it [did not exist] in the cultural lexicon.”

Meanwhile, if you were hoping for a reunion album… Well, you probably already know the answer. “People ask, ‘So, will there be another Outkast album?’” André 3000 recently posited. “I really can’t say, man. I do realize that our chemistries have changed. We’re different people. We’re totally different people. Not to say that we won’t be able to make any kind of music, but I think, yeah, people have to realize, like, even in relationships, man… chemistry should change after a while. And I think people think there’s this one thing that has to stay a way, but we are ever-changing, man. You know, people always ask about me and Big Boi. We cool, man. That’s my homie forever. We were friends before doing music.”

Several reports have confirmed that Ugandan Olympic athlete Rebecca Cheptegei died Thursday(September 5) at a Kenyan hospital where she was being treated after 80% of her body was burned in an attack by her partner.

Cheptegei was only 33 years old.

A spokesperson at Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital in Eldoret City confirmed Cheptegei’s death on Thursday. Menach said the long-distance runner died early in the morning after her organs failed. She had been fully sedated on admission at the hospital.

Cheptegei ran in the women’s marathon at the Paris Olympics almost a month before the attack. She finished in 44th place.

Trans Nzoia County Police Commander Jeremiah ole Kosiom said Monday that Cheptegei’s partner, Dickson Ndiema, bought a can of gasoline, poured it on her and set her ablaze during a disagreement Sunday. Ndiema was also burned and was being treated at the same hospital.

Menach said Ndiema was still in the intensive care unit with burns over 30% of his body but was “improving and stable.”

Cheptegei’s parents said their daughter bought land in Trans Nzoia to be near the county’s many athletic training centers. A report filed by the local chief said the two were heard fighting over the land where her house was built before the attack.

The Uganda Athletics Federation eulogized Cheptegei on X, posting, “We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of our athlete, Rebecca Cheptegei, early this morning who tragically fell victim to domestic violence. As a federation, we condemn such acts and call for justice. May her soul rest In Peace.”

Uganda Olympic Committee President Donald Rukare called the attack “a cowardly and senseless act that has led to the loss of a great athlete.”

Barack Obama’s Half-Brother Malik Has The Internet In A Frenzy Following Donald Trump Endorsement

by

Barack Obama is one of the most beloved figures in the history of American politics. While he certainly has his critics, there is no doubt that there are plenty of folks who love Obama to this day. However, there is one person who is quite vocal about his distaste for the former president. That person just so happens to be his half-brother, Malik Obama. Malik Obama has been a social media figure for years at this point and rose to prominence in 2016 thanks to his support for Donald Trump.

At the time, Malik Obama’s fame was quite insular. You had to be deep into the online political sphere to even know he existed. Overall, he was a fringe figure with very little influence. While the latter part may still be true, it appears as though more people are becoming acquainted with Malik. This is because he has been going all in on his Trump support as of late, his tweets are going mainstream, and now, plenty of reactions are coming down the pipeline.

Others noted that Malik Obama doesn’t even live in the United States, and currently resides in Kenya. Whether he supports Trump or not, he most likely won’t even be voting.

Let us know what you think about this situation, in the comments section down below. With the election taking place in two months, who do you believe is going to win?

Cardi B Claps Back At Fans’ Criticisms Of Her Calling Herself “Light-Skinned”

by

Cardi B is always responding to narratives around her online, whether it concerns her new album or an inappropriate setting for a maternity shoot. Regardless, she will always combat misconceptions and criticisms of her with the same fire, as well as with the will to improve and admit her wrongs when necessary. But in this case, the Bronx femcee doesn’t understand the hate. Moreover, a lot of fans started a debate around whether or not she has the right to call herself “light-skinned” as the daughter of a Dominican father and Trinidadian mother. Cardi quickly dismissed these assumptions, defending her self-identification and explaining why it’s valid.

“Who tf told Cardi B she’s light skin? That term is used for lighter complexion black folks but y’all got everybody claiming it now,” one fan posited. “Dominicans are so diverse when it comes to skin color,” she clapped back. “Dark ,brown ,tan,light ,white ….sooo what am I supposed to say when I’m describing my complexion…Im Dominican skin ?” “idk maybe y’all need to come up with yall own terms.. ‘light skinned’ is used to describe BLACK people. Not whites, Dominicans, Mexicans, Asians… BLACKS!! You can’t just use the word to mean whatever you want it to mean chica,” another fan suggested.

Meanwhile, Cardi B shared some exciting news with fans recently that has nothing to do with Twitter clap-backs. “Album still sellin like good quality p***y,” she responded to news of her selling over 500,000 album units in the United States. “….OKAY OKAY let me stop playing and drop this second album.”
