Justin Bieber Once Intentionally Lost His Passport On Purpose Because He ‘Missed Normalcy’

Justin Bieber has been a superstar in the music world since he was 16. That means he missed out on a normal childhood. But in a recent profile with GQ, Bieber revealed that, early in his career, he did something in attempt to seem like a regular boy.

“I was working so much as this young kid that I got really sad, and I missed my friends and I missed normalcy,” he said. “And so me and my friend hid my passport. The record label is freaking out, saying, ‘You have to do The Today Show next week and you can’t find your passport.’ It takes a certain amount of days to get a new passport. But I was just going to do anything to be able to just be normal at that time.”

He eventually confessed to hiding the passport and later performed on the show, but the move left people worried about his well-being. Fortunately enough, the singer apparently convinced everyone that he was okay and returned to the grind of stardom.

The anecdote arrives after his sixth album, Justice, returned to No. 1 on the albums chart two weeks after it debuted there. This marks the first time in a decade that one of Bieber’s albums have spent multiple weeks at No. 1.

EarthGang Assists Tommy Newport On “Stargazer”

Tommy Newport is giving us a taste of his first piece of music to follow Ultra Mango. The artist returned with his new single, “Stargazer” ft. EarthGang earlier today. Newport delivers a dreamy, upbeat vibe that perfectly fits the eccentric stylings of the Dreamville duo.

“Stargazer was written in LA & I’m honored to have my first released collaboration be with the insanely talented EarthGang,” Newport told Complex. “Once I laid down the hook I knew it felt right. There’s not a dull moment in this song and they absolutely killed it.”

“Working with Tommy is always such a vibe,” producer 4th Pyramid said. “Being able to finally tie in his sound to my hip-hop roots was something I’ve wanted to do. EarthGang brings a kaleidoscope of creativity and were the perfect pairing to complement our sound. It was a no brainer to get them on this record.”

Check the song out below.

Quotable Lyrics
So what’s the point in fightin’ nature?
You’d rather get to chuggin’ and say, “Fuck it, I dont blame ya”
At least you’d stop overthinkin’ every conversation
At least if pain is on the way, it’s somethin’ to delay it

Jake Paul “Categorically Denies” Sexual Assault Allegations From Justine Paradise

YouTuber-turned-professional boxer Jake Paul is facing serious accusations after a TikTok star has accused him of sexual assault. The controversial internet figure is known for his trolling and often outlandish behavior, but a young woman named Justine Paradise shared a lengthy video last week detailing what she alleges was her experience with Paul back in 2019.

In the 20-minute video, Justine claims that she had met Paul on multiple occasions at a Los Angeles mansion dubbed the “Team 10 House.” Many of these lavish homes are often rented to a dozen or more social media stars who create content and host parties. Justine states that it was on July 20, 2019, when she was at the home with Paul and she alleges that she told him she didn’t want to do anything more than just kissing.

However, Justine accuses Jake Paul of forcing her to have oral sex. She claims that she didn’t come forward sooner because she believed that signing a non-disclosure agreement legally kept her from speaking about the alleged assault. Paul has released a statement via his rep where he “categorically denies the allegation” and says he will look into taking legal action against Paradise if necessary.

The fighter also took to social media with a post where he says he has respect for women and once again denies assaulting Paradise. “I will fight to the end to prove my innocence,” Paul writes. He adds that he never had a sexual relationship with Paradise. “Sexual assault accusations aren’t something that I, or anyone should ever take lightly, but to be crystal clear, this claim made against me is 100% false.”

Read through Paul’s post in its entirety and watch Paradise’s video below.

Soulja Boy Says Famous Dex Troubles Are “Karma”: “A Whole Bunch Of Snake Sh*t”

This is a feud that has lasted years and Soulja Boy is speaking once again about Famous Dex, but this time he’s focusing on “karma.” Famous Dex and Soulja Boy have a longstanding relationship as Soulja has previously stated he’s the reason that Dex has a career. Back in 2019, the two were seen yelling at each other on Instagram Live during their infamous argument in front of a worldwide audience, and Soulja revisited his beef with the Chicago rapper.

Recently, Famous  Dex has caused concern as he has shared videos and photos of himself looking a tad out of it. Rich The Kid stepped in to send his friend to a rehab center, but after completing treatment, distressing images continue to circulate. There have also been allegations of domestic violence and the 27-year-old father has reportedly been hit with 19 charges. As Dex’s personal life and professional career seem to be on the line, Soulja reportedly spoke about Famous Dex’s circumstance in a current Live, and according to him, karma is coming for Dex.

“Karma, bruh. You know what I’m saying? You can’t do sh*t like that, bruh,” said Soulja Boy. “N*gga help you and help you get on. You can’t do sh*t like that, bruh. You know what I’m sayin’? If you come from the hood and a n*gga fly you to L.A. and you sleepin’ on they couch and a n*gga givin’ you free songs and a n*gga put you in they videos and you say that ‘I’mma sign to your label, I’mma be SOD Money Gang, I’mma be SOD.’ Then you turn around and go sign with another person behind that person back and just do a whole bunch of snake sh*t. You gon’ go out sad.”

“You can’t do sh*t like that,” the rapper continued. “You might get away temporarily for a couple months, a year or something you might be poppin’ or somethin’. But after that, it’s gon’ be over with. ‘Cause guess what? All the fans seen what you did, you see what I’m sayin’?” Watch his clip below.

“Steve Urkel” Actor Jaleel White Launches “Purple Urkle” Cannabis Line

The cannabis industry continues to expand with hopes that federal legalization, or at the very least decriminalization, is on the way. Biden hasn’t necessarily given the thumbs up but Chuck Schumer recently offered a promising update on a bill he plans to pass that could remove the plant from the controlled substance list and potentially expunge cannabis-related offenses.

As many entertainers, like Jay-Z and Seth Rogen, stepped into the industry, one person you might not have expected to follow suit is Jaleel White, known for his role as Steve Urkel on Family Matters. Per Forbes, the actor joined forces with 710 Labs to launch a new line called ItPurple including a variety of products of the strain Purple Urkle. The partnership only makes sense and White explained that he’s seeking to become a trailblazer for “fire purple weed.” 

“The thing that always stood out to me was there no clear brand leader for fire purple weed,” Jaleel White told Forbes. “It made no sense to me, that no company of significance had claimed this lane, so why not me?”

The product will appropriately hit shelves on 4/20 available as live resin pods, eighths, and pre-rolled joints known as Noodle Doinks. 

“Jaleel is a big fan of the Noodle Doinks and the Live Resin Pods,” 710 Labs founder Brad Melshenker said. “The Noodle Doinks will come in 3 pheno’s of Purple Urkle and of Stefan, and the Live Resin Pods will come in Mendo Purps x Zkittlez to start, which by the way, is probably my favorite pod flavor to date. It’s a straight candy flavor with a grape Big League Chew vibe on the exhale.”

Check a few of the best responses to the announcement below. Will you be trying 710 Labs x ItsPurple’s new cannabis line?
