A hostess at IHOP revealed that she had unknowingly turned Adam Sandler and his daughter away in a viral TikTok that has garnered upwards of 11M views so far. A hostess at Manhasset International House of Pancakes shared a TikTok explaining that a masked Sandler walked in and was informed that there would be a 30-minute wait.

“Not realizing its Adam Sandler and telling him it’s a 30min wait and him ofc leaving bc he’s not going to wait 30mins for IHOP,” hostess Dayanna Rodas captioned the TikTok. Sandler’s publicist later confirmed to HuffPost that it was the actor. 

Sandler took to Twitter with a comedic take on the clip. Apparently, it wasn’t the 30-minute wait that turned him off. “For the record, I only left the IHOP because the nice woman told me the all-you-can-eat deal didn’t apply to the milkshakes,” he wrote on Twitter.

Rodas told the New York Post that it was only after Sandler and his daughter left that she found out who he was. “It wasn’t until a customer walked in about 15 minutes later saying, ‘Adam Sandler was outside,’ when I realized I spoke to Adam Sandler!” she said.

Clearly, Adam Sandler isn’t stressing the encounter. Hopefully, he was able to find a place with half the wait time. Check his response below.

By now, there’s a good chance you’ve seen the video of DJ Khaled having lunch in the middle of a river when he takes a sip from his wine glass and suddenly stands up with wide eyes, having a vivid realization. The clip stems from his pre-Khaled Khaled album teasers, in which he was slowly rolling out the list of high-profile features he had lined up for the album. 

Back when the album was only about 98% complete, DJ Khaled shared the video, which became an instant hit with the meme community. Almost immediately, people began using different captions to describe the video, joking that Khaled had remembered to cancel his free Amazon Prime trial in the middle of lunch. Now that the world has had time to sit with his latest album, which is on pace to sell 100,000 copies and debut at #1 on the charts, DJ Khaled is becoming a global meme.

With Khaled Khaled out now, DJ Khaled has been teasing music videos for many of the songs included on the album. Watch the video for “THANKFUL” here and stay tuned for more in the near future.

The Flatbush Zombies have earned praise as one of the game’s most consistent crews, having made strong impressions on projects like Vacation In Hell, Beast Coast’s Escape From NY, and their latest release Now, More Than Ever. And while many have been anticipating another full-length drop from the collective, it would appear that Erick Arc Elliott, Zombie Juice, and Meechy Darko have been taking the time to work on their respective solo careers.

While we recently saw a new release from Elliott, who showcased a different side of his artistry with Future Proof, there has been a heavy demand for a full-length release from the explosive and dynamic Meechy Darko. Evidently, it would appear that the time is indeed coming, as Meechy has been steadily crafting his own upcoming solo album. In fact, the gravelly-voiced emcee took a moment to share a status update on his Twitter page, writing a concise but telling “Album almost done.”

Though he neglected to share any additional details surrounding the project, he doesn’t exactly need to as the hype speaks for itself. Many Flatbush Zombies fans have long wanted a substantial project from Darko, who has frequently stolen the show on no shortage of tracks. It will certainly be interesting to see how he approaches crafting his solo debut, and whether or not he reaches out to his Beast Coast collaborators for assistance.

He might very well have to, considering that many of his peers may very well be afraid to hop on board. “Im starting to think ni**as scared to rap with MEech,” he tweets. “I don’t even wanna just say that to say it but i really feel that everytime I play a song or ask a Ni*ga to jump on the album it get awkward.”

Check out his recent album-centric tweets below, and stay tuned for more news on Meechy Darko’s upcoming project. 

Lamar Odom has been dealing with the loss of his father, Joe Odom, for the past two weeks. Initially revealing his father’s passing on April 20th, the former pro athlete took time on Monday (May 3) to thank those who reached out and to mourn his death. The 41-year-old ex-NBA star explained in the tribute to his late father that while they often clashed, they ultimately had lots of love for each other. 

Sharing a photo on Instagram of a gorgeous portrait Odom’s rumored girlfriend Karlie Redd had commissioned of him and his father, he began, “Thank you to everyone who extended love and prayers to me during my time of bereavement. I appreciate every single one of you for sending me good energy.”

Continuing, he addressed the differences he and his father had, declaring that ultimately, it was still all love. “Life is not promised. My pops and I had our differences but at the end of the day I knew he loved me and I loved him and that’s really all that matters,” Odom said. 

He continued, “I encourage you to take some time and make amends with family and friends, tell someone you love them, smile a little more, laugh out loud, give your heart to those that deserve it because NOTHING is promised but death. That’s it.” 

Joe and Lamar had a notoriously rocky relationship for years. Back in 2013, Lamar discontinued paying his father’s rent after he criticized the Kardashian family. In 2015, when Lamar suffered a drug overdose and had to be hospitalized, Joe claimed his wife at the time Khloe Kardashian was blocking him from visiting his son.

As explained in Lamar’s tribute, the two seemed to have reconciled over the years. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Lamar as he continues to grieve. 

Many of the biggest records in hip-hop history were written with a level of disrespect to them. It’s a constant that seems to always permeate the depths of the game. In the last few years, we’ve witnessed feuds involving Drake and Meek Mill, Eminem and Machine Gun Kelly, and 6ix9ine with the entire world. Brooklyn-born 6ix9ine is one of the biggest trolls in the genre, taking every opportunity to belittle his fellow rappers on social media. His grasp on the globe has diminished in the last twelve months but he remains one of the most notorious personalities in music.

This weekend, 6ix9ine performed in front of a crowd of 15,000 people in Miami, Florida and on Monday night, he celebrated by hopping onto a live stream with his good friend DJ Akademiks. During the stream, Ak asked 69 who he believes is the current most disrespectful rapper, to which he predictably answered himself. However, when he was asked to consider other stars aside from himself, 6ix9ine said that Quando Rondo takes the cake.

“Disrespectful and really like that? I’d give it to Quando Rondo,” said the rainbow-haired troll. “Quando Rondo said it’s not about who got beat up, it’s about who got turned into ashes. He’s out here in Atlanta, Georgia, the same place where his affiliate caught the murder doing shows. I don’t give a f*ck if it was in front of five people. I don’t give a f*ck if it was in front of one person. He showed up! And he’s alive right now to tell the story. He’s breathing.”

6ix9ine is referring to a concert that Quando Rondo performed over the weekend, which was attended by only fifty people. Quando said this after the show, “Every time I do get a show booked or something, the promoter calling back. ‘Oh, the police station threatening the venue. They saying if something go down I’ma lose my club license. Send my money back, this and that. Can we try this again in a couple months. Time heals everything.’ This ’cause of y’all folks.”

Listen to what 6ix9ine had to say about Quando Rondo below.

Nipsey Hussle’s legacy has endured through his many cultural contributions, ranging from his deep, Grammy-nominated discography to his The Marathon Clothing company’s collections, released in partnership with PUMA. Now, Hypebeast has confirmed that another new capsule from Marathon and PUMA is on the way, set to be released this coming Friday, May 7th. 

The new collection will include a PUMA suede sneaker as well as an additional t-shirt, both of which can be observed right here. The grey suede sneaker features The Marathon Clothing and PUMA’s hybrid logo emblazoned on the heel as well as the insole, a subtle nod to Nip’s legacy. Speaking of subtle, one of the nicest touches finds “Marathon” written on the golden aglets; hardly the most visible, but a welcome detail that really rounds out the sneaker. 

As for the shirt, it’s also minimalist in nature. Once again featuring the TMC/PUMA logo at the center, the white tee goes a long way in paying homage to the late Hussle without going overboard with the design. In addition, the tag features a lengthy breakdown of The Marathon Clothing’s intention as a company. Should you be interested in purchasing either the shirt or the sneakers, look for the upcoming collection to hit the PUMA store right here, with the official release date set for this coming Friday. The sneakers are set to be listed at $80 USD, while the t-shirt is listed at $45 USD.
