President Joe Biden says that he is a K-pop fan and described the music as “universal” in a meeting with the President of South Korea, Moon Jae-In.

“Our people share a long history. Our soldiers have fought alongside one another. Our scientists work side-by-side in both our countries,” he said during the joint press conference. “Our people, our people-to-people cultural connections are only growing. K-Pop fans are universal…I can tell those who laugh know what I’m talking about. Anyway, I’ll get back to that later.”

The statement coincides with the release of BTS’s newest single, “Butter.”

In the press conference, Biden also confirmed that the U.S. would be helping supply South Korea with 550,000 COVID-19 vaccines.

“We believe that between the second half of 2021 and going in through 2022 we could produce as many as another billion doses of vaccine,” Biden said. “We, with advanced capabilities, have an obligation to do everything we can to provide for protection of the entire world.”

Biden also spoke highly of President Moon.

“We had a private meeting in which my staff kept coming out and saying, ‘You’re over time, you’re over time,’ but I enjoyed the meeting so much it caused us to move everything back,” Biden said. “But I look forward to continuing our discussion today here, and, and growing the US-ROK relationship further as we take on new challenges, we take them on together.”

Stunna 4 Vegas was arrested by police officers in Fayetteville, North Carolina, Saturday, and recorded the ordeal on Instagram live. Officers instructed Vegas to “put the phone in the pocket” during the broadcast, but the rapper continued to film.

“What you resisting me for?” Vegas asked for arresting officers.

“I’m not resisting you for anything,” the officer remarked.

“What you putting handcuffs on me for?” Vegas continued. “He’s so mad I tip my nieces and nephews. You better stop grabbing me like that! Them folks ain’t paying you enough to got-damn be doing all that.”

Eventually, one of the officers provides an answer during the IG live session: “You’re under arrest for driving with a suspended license – I just told you right now so you can shut up!”

“For running the stop sign,” they added.

Before the video ends, Vegas yells out “He’s a clown! Damn, I hate clowns!”

Vegas signed to DaBaby’s Billion Dollar Entertainment label back in 2019 and is responsible for a number of hits including “Animal,” featuring DaBaby, and “Up The Smoke” featuring Offset. He recently appeared on “Like A Pimp” off of Lil Zay Osama’s newest project, Trench Baby.

Charles Barkley says that the “NBA ain’t got the balls” to punish LeBron James, after the Los Angeles Lakers star violated the league’s COVID-19 health and safety protocols. ESPN reported, Saturday morning, that James wouldn’t face a suspension from the league for his actions.

“Let me tell you somethin’,” Barkley told LaJethro Jenkins of Yahoo Sports. “Hey, listen, I love Adam Silver, rest in peace, David Stern, best commissioner in sports. The NBA ain’t got the balls to suspend LeBron James.”

James violated protocol by attending an event for a tequila brand he endorses with Drake and Michael B. Jordan, Monday. Later this week, he went on to play during the Lakers’ 103-100 win over the Golden State Warriors, securing the 7th seed in the Western Conference for his team.

Barkley continued to suggest that a less popular player would face suspension in the same situation: “If it was a nobody, they would put him in health and safety protocols. Ain’t no fuckin’ way LeBron James is gonna sit out in health and safety protocols. When I read that, I just started laughing.”

The Lakers will begin their playoff series against the Pheonix Suns on Sunday at 3:30 PM, EST.

Andrew Yang struggled to name a Jay-Z song after claiming that he frequently listens to the rapper. Comedian Ziwe Fumudoh interviewed the mayoral candidate for New York City for her new Showtime series.

“I listened to a lot of hip-hop during like the 90s and 2000s,” Yang said when asked what he’s been “vibing to” lately. He clarified that he likes Jay-Z and Nas in particular.

“What’s your favorite Jay-Z song?” she asks. “I mean, he’s a New Yorker.”

“Yes,” Yang replies before taking a long pause. “What is my favorite Jay-Z song?”

After more pause, the clip ends without an answer from Yang.

Comedian Seth Rogen commented on the video on Twitter writing, “I feel like he was literally asking someone else to tell him what his fav J song is.”

Yang’s gaffe is reminiscent of Vice President Kamala Harris’ opinion on who the best rapper alive is. When asked during the run-up to the 2020 Presidential Election, Harris answered Tupac. When informed that the legendary rapper is dead, she responded: “I mean, there’s so many. I mean — there are some I would not mention right now because they should stay in their lane.”
