New York rapper Fivio Foreign was arrested one month ago on multiple charges after evading from police on foot. The rapper reportedly was parked in the wrong spot at the bank and when he returned to his car, a police officer approached him and asked for his license. Fivio reportedly ignored the request and walked away. The officer stayed with his car while another policeman caught up to him in a nearby parking garage. After the cop grabbed him, a loaded gun fell out of his waistband. The gun was untraceable and the serial number was scrubbed off. He was charged with possession of a firearm for unlawful purposes without the required permit, possession of a defaced firearm, and resisting arrest.

The rapper remains in custody following a month spent in jail. He has spoken out for one of the first times regarding his arrest, telling fans that he’ll be back home soon.

It is presently unclear when Fivio is expected to be released from jail. We will continue to keep you updated with the latest information. 

Fivio recently connected with Lil Tjay and Polo G for their video “Headshot,” which came out in March. Check that out here.

In 2002, Friends was the number one sitcom on television. The story of six young adults learning how to navigate work, relationships, and of course, friends, was a sensation with audiences of all ages. The show became the career-defining launchpad for many stars, including Jennifer Aniston, Matthew Perry, and Matt LeBlanc. 

About twenty years later, the show still holds its reign as one of the most well-known sitcoms. HBO claimed Friends was the most-watched show on HBO Max Streaming in July 2020, but actual viewership numbers were not disclosed.

In February 2020, the cast announced a reunion special that would take us all down memory lane. Fans responded with excitement, happy to have any look at the former cast mates back together again.

The six ended up reuniting at the original set at Warner Bros. Studio, recreating iconic scenes and doing table reads. The two-minute trailer, which just arrived today following a teaser clip, bounces between clips of warm hugs and sweet sentiments, to lighter moments of the cast laughing about memories they made over two decades ago.

Another portion of the special will include a James Corden interview with the Friends actors, which has mixed reviews from fans on social media so far. Some expressed the wish for a reunion without an interview format, as HBO Max’s similar 2020 Fresh Prince of Bel-Air Reunion only involved the cast.

Special guests include other minor characters from the series, such as Reese Witherspoon who played the role of Jill Greene. Celebrity Friends fans such as Justin Bieber, David Beckham, and Mindy Kaling are also expected to make an appearance. 

Friends: The Reunion will be available to stream on HBO Max on May 27. Check out the new trailer below, and let us know if this is something you’ll be tuning on for, or glossing right over.

Last night, LeBron James was able to catapult the Los Angeles Lakers into the playoffs thanks to a last-minute three-point shot that gave his team a 103-100 lead. This turned out to be the final score and all of Twitter was praising LeBron for his clutch play. While most of the discourse surrounding LeBron was positive, there was one man who was waiting to give off an ill-advised hot take. Of course, that man was Skip Bayless, who claimed LeBron’s shot was anything but clutch.

“Lucky desperate three by LeBron with the pressure off at the end of the shot clock,” Bayless tweeted. “He’s at his best when there’s no drive-or-launch decision. He can just heave and hope. If he misses, no expectation, no fault. It’s an “impossible” shot. Besides, he “was seeing three rims.””

Today, Bayless continued to downplay LeBron’s greatness as he went on “Undisputed” and said “I’ll give you ‘big shot’ from LeBron, but I won’t even remotely give you clutch shot. How clutch was it? I give it a 1.”

Shannon Sharpe was on Skip’s case all morning in regards to this take although, in pure Skip fashion, he refused to back down. He has always had it out for LeBron and this latest take was certainly no exception. Not to mention, Skip was trending on Twitter again, which is exactly what he wants.

T.I. and Tiny have vehemently denied all of the current sexual assault, drugging, and rape accusations against them. For the last few months, more and more accusers have come forward to claim they were kidnapped, drugged, raped, and terrorized with threats by T.I. and Tiny. As it stands, over thirty people have accused them of sexual assault. 

Attorney Tyrone Blackburn is representing eleven of the alleged victims. While the world has assumed that all eleven of the people accusing the couple are women, Blackburn revealed that one of the victims is a man.

According to multiple reports, Blackburn said during a recent press conference that among the victims he is representing, there are ten women and one man. 

This news comes on the heels of an investigation being launched regarding allegations of rape and drugging against T.I. in 2005. Recently, one accuser claimed that T.I. and Tiny forced her to have sex with rapper Nelly. While an investigation is open in Los Angeles, the couple was cleared in a similar sexual assault investigation that took place in Las Vegas this week.

What do you make of this new information? Do you think T.I. and Tiny will end up being charged for this? We’ll keep you posted with all of the latest information as it gets released.

LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers had a lot on the line last night. In their game against the Golden State Warriors, they were looking to punch their ticket to the NBA playoffs in the first round of the play-in. While the Warriors were much better in the first half, the Lakers came back with a strong second-half showing that was capped off by a game-winning three-point shot by LeBron James.

What made his shot with one minute to go so impressive was the fact that just minutes prior, he had been poked in the eye by Draymond Green. In fact, after the game, LeBron admitted that he was seeing double and even triple at points. On the game-winning shot, LeBron told reporters that he saw three rims and had to think fast in order to get the bucket.

“The second thing I saw was three rims from being poked in the eye on that previous possession when I drove to the hole and then in transition. So, I just aimed for the middle one,” LeBron said.

While some fans are taking LeBron’s comments as an embellishment of the truth, you can’t deny that he came through with an incredibly clutch play. The Lakers will now face the Phoenix Suns in the first round of the playoffs and considering the experience gap, the Lakers still have a very good chance despite being the lower seed.

Kenny Muney is a rising artist and Memphis, Tennessee native who is currently signed to Young Dolph’s Paper Route Empire record label, and earlier this week, reports revealed that the rapper, known for projects like Muney Talk, reportedly was injured during a shootout in Atlanta. Police reports released to local outlets like the Atlanta Journal-Constitution and 11Alive originally claimed that Kenny Muney was shot twice in his elbow and his hip but was “alert, conscious and breathing” when corresponding with police and medical professionals.

As previously reported, Young Dolph’s artist also chalked up the shooting as a random incident that occurred while he was at an intersection near Atlantic Station. However, Kenny Muney has now broken his silence on the altercation with a new Instagram post.

According to the Paper Route Empire upstart, he was not hit by any of the bullets during the shootout on Monday. Arguing that his unwillingness to talk to officers and medical personnel led to “fake news,” Kenny Muney proceeded to explain his side of the story and taunt the person behind the shooting, telling them to “get a refund.”

“Aye, f*ck fake news, this the real breaking news,” Muney says in the video. “I don’t even talk that much or nothing. That’s why the reporters, police, and allat got all these fake a** stories. But I did not get shot twice. I’m straight. I’m good.”

“Ain’t no n*gga hit me. I ain’t get shot. None of that,” the Young Dolph signee continues. “Tell the n*gga to go get a refund cuz they ain’t hit sh*t! I love y’all though. ‘Preciate you for checking.”

With Kenny Muney’s side of the story aired out, it makes sense why the hospital was quick to discharge him due to “non-life-threatening” injuries. Stay tuned for more news regarding the Paper Route Empire artist.
