Orlando Brown Claims To Know Why Mariah Carey Left Nick Cannon In Buckwild Rant

by

Orlando Brown is not letting go of his bombshell claims that he made about Nick Cannon about four years ago. If you don’t remember, the former Disney Channel actor accused the Wild ‘N Out host of performing oral sex on him. “And I liked it. It was OK,” Brown said in a video viewable here. “But everybody knows you did it as a female.” Instead of berating him, Cannon took the high road, responding out of concern rather than hate. “This is another crucial example of when we allow our young artists to be prematurely exposed by this demonic business and left out to fend for themselves. We need better support systems for our youth and take care of our own.”

Cannon continued, “I watched various of this young brother’s videos and all I see is a cry out for help.” It’s worth noting that Brown has suffered from addictions and mental health issues for a bit now. But after fast forwarding to the weekend, it’s possible that he’s still dealing with it. Or he firmly stands by what he said back then, because he’s making the same claims again.

Orlando Brown Accuses Nick Cannon Of The Same Deed Again

Orlando was the first guest for Deshae Frost’s own version of a subathon event, and let’s just say it didn’t get off to the best start. Overall, he feels Cannon’s alleged past actions are what ultimately led to Mariah Carey leaving him. “When it came down to Nick Cannon, he do really like to suck cannons and that’s what he does. He sucked a good cannon on me,” Brown began in his unhinged rant. “Nick, you sucked my d**k! And don’t you ever forget it. That’s why Mariah Carey left you’re a** and you are lying n****! Stop lying, running around here with Kevin Hart.”

He ran with Hart and Cannon possibly having a relationship of their own by referencing the llama gift back in 2021. “What, you running around with Kevin Hart for a break? You are sending animals to his house and why you all sending animals to each other? You ni***s look weird doing that kind of s*** by the billboards with people’s faces on it.” But that’s not all. Brown decided to take it another step further, dropping the F-word on stream. “You’re hurting yourself every time you don’t admit to yourself that you are a f***ing fa**ot!” Deshae Frost was left quite speechless during all of this but was immediately panicking after that latter comment. “Twitch please, don’t just ban me. I worked so f***ing hard, please!” With all of that said, will Nick be the bigger man? Or will he drop the hammer on Orlando?

Kendrick Lamar Continues His Dominant 2024 Run As ‘GNX’ Debuts At No. 1 On The ‘Billboard’ 200 Chart

Kendrick Lamar 2024

The end of the year is usually relatively slow when it comes to new music drops, but Kendrick Lamar spiced up the final weeks of 2024 with one of the year’s biggest releases: GNX. Aside from being a cap on Lamar’s culture-dominating year, it’s yet another chart success for the rapper: On the new Billboard 200 chart dated December 7, GNX debuts at No. 1.

The album is now Lamar’s fifth total and consecutive chart-topping album. GNX earned 319,000 equivalent album units in the US during the week ending November 28, which is the sixth-biggest debut week of 2024. It also had the third-biggest streaming week for any album this year, with 379.72 million on-demand official streams for the project’s songs.

GNX follows Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers (in 2022), Damn (2017), Untitled Unmastered (2016), and To Pimp A Butterfly (2015) as No. 1 albums for Lamar.

Debuting right behind GNX at No. 2 is the Ariana Grande– and Cynthia Erivo-led Wicked soundtrack. This is the biggest-ever debut for the soundtrack of a film adaptation of a stage musical. The last time such a soundtrack debuted in the top five was back in 2003, when Chicago debuted at No. 4 (before peaking at No. 2 the next week). The most recent stage-to-screen musical soundtrack to be in the top two, debut week or not, was Les Miserables, which was No. 1 for a week in 2013.

TD Jakes hopped online to update his health following a Sunday scare at the Potter’s House.

“I told you last Sunday that I’d see you this Sunday, and so here I am,” Jakes said. “I am grateful to God for his goodness and his grace. Many of you don’t realize that you’re looking at a miracle. I faced a life-threatening calamity, was rushed to the ICU unit, I had emergency surgery, survived the surgery. Yeah, I’m back. And the doctor wants me to go slow coming back.”

Jakes was rushed to receive medical attention after experiencing a health incident during a sermon on Sunday, November 24. The 67-year-old preacher was delivering a powerful message to his congregation when he suddenly paused in the middle of his address, appeared to tremble, and then sat still before dropping his microphone. The unsettling moment prompted several congregation members to rush to his side as others began praying or calling out for help. The church’s livestream was abruptly cut off shortly after the incident.

While everyone was on pins and needs, later that evening, The Potter’s House issued a statement reassuring the public about the condition of their senior pastor. “During today’s service, Bishop T.D. Jakes experienced a slight health incident and received immediate medical attention following his powerful hour-long message,” the statement read. “Bishop Jakes is stable and under the care of medical professionals. The entire Potter’s House family is grateful for the outpouring of love, prayers, and support from the community.”

Officially, the church expressed its gratitude, saying, “Thank you for your understanding and continued prayers.”

If you don’t know who Bishop Jakes is, he has been a prominent figure in the Christian community for decades. Ordained as a bishop in 1987, Jakes became widely known for his landmark sermon Woman, Thou Art Loosed in 1992. The following year, he began airing a weekly television broadcast on the Trinity Broadcasting Network, and by 1994, his teachings reached an even broader audience through Black Entertainment Television (BET). Jakes’s influence continued to grow, and in 2001, Time magazine and CNN recognized him as “America’s Best Preacher.”

As for the Potter’s House, Jakes founded the church way back in 1996, is a nondenominational Christian megachurch that serves over 30,000 members. As a nonprofit organization, the church’s mission is to provide spiritual guidance and empowerment to people across the globe. “The Potter’s House and T.D. Jakes Ministries seek to become a global voice, along a lifelong journey of spiritual and economic hope, encouragement, and empowerment to people locally, nationally, and around the world,” according to the church’s official mission statement.

Qui Yasuka aka Suki Baby, the cover star of Drake’s Her Loss collaboration album with 21 Savage, says no one is touching Kendrick Lamar right now. “This is just his way of putting out to the world, ‘Nobody is fucking playing with me,’” she said on Instagram.

That support isn’t sitting well with Akademiks who responded: “Shorty might be a little dense in her thinking, but be very clear, this Kendrick album is the embodiment of the energy from the battle.”
