Trump Sounds Off: ‘I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!’

by
Donald Trump Reportedly Teases 2024 Presidential Run at CPAC

Somebody tell Donald Trump to “Shake It Off.” Over the weekend, Trump hopped on Truth Social and revealed his feelings about one of the most famous people on the planet: “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!”

Less than 24 hours after Taylor Swift endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for president, signing off as a childless cat lady, Elon Musk oddly offered to give her a baby.

“Fine Taylor … you win … I will give you a child and guard your cats with my life,” Musk wrote on X.

Swift’s post was shared with her massive following of over 283 million, and get this, it featured Swift holding her cat, Benjamin Button. Now if you behind on the times, it was clearly a nod to previous remarks made by Trump’s running mate, JD Vance, who referred to Harris as a “childless cat lady” during his campaign.

That was a genius move btw. Tapping JD Vance as Trump’s running mate. That’s really working out well for them.

What’s more, Swift took the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to urge her audience to “do your research” on the candidates and the election, emphasizing the importance of informed voting. She also addressed the circulation of AI-generated images falsely portraying her as a Trump supporter. Swift remarked that seeing those misleading images prompted her to clarify her position, saying, “I need to be very transparent about my actual plans.”

In no time, the surging Harris campaign quickly responded to Swift’s endorsement on social media platform X (formerly Twitter). They celebrated by highlighting friendship bracelets that symbolized the close connection between Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. Why this matter, the bracelets served as a nod to Swift’s own diehard fan culture and influence during the election season.

Well it’s influential all right and now Swift is behind VP Harris. Yikes … in a good way. 

Anyway’s here’s the full text from post from @TaylorSwift Instagram, which has garnered over 7m likes so far …

“Like many of you, I watched the debate tonight. If you haven’t already, now is a great time to do your research on the issues at hand and the stances these candidates take on the topics that matter to you the most. As a voter, I make sure to watch and read everything I can about their proposed policies and plans for this country.

Recently I was made aware that AI of ‘me’ falsely endorsing Donald Trump’s presidential run was posted to his site. It really conjured up my fears around AI, and the dangers of spreading misinformation. It brought me to the conclusion that I need to be very transparent about my actual plans for this election as a voter. The simplest way to combat misinformation is with the truth.

I will be casting my vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the 2024 Presidential Election. I’m voting for @kamalaharris because she fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them. I think she is a steady-handed, gifted leader and I believe we can accomplish so much more in this country if we are led by calm and not chaos. I was so heartened and impressed by her selection of running mate @timwalz, who has been standing up for LGBTQ+ rights, IVF, and a woman’s right to her own body for decades.

I’ve done my research, and I’ve made my choice. Your research is all yours to do, and the choice is yours to make. I also want to say, especially to first time voters: Remember that in order to vote, you have to be registered! I also find it’s much easier to vote early. I’ll link where to register and find early voting dates and info in my story.

With love and hope, 

Taylor Swift

Childless Cat Lady”

Eminem Blames Diddy For The Deaths Of Tupac And Biggie On Latest Track “Fuel” From ‘The Death Of Slim Shady’ LP

Eminem took some very vicious shots at Diddy on his new album The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de grâce): Expanded Mourner’s Edition, where Em recruits Shady Records’ Westside Boogie and Grip while he delves into Hip Hop’s most reputed unsolved murders and he pulls no punches about who the culprit is.

On “Fuel” Shady goes in on the troubled mogul, rapping, “So who’ll be picked next, whose name gonna be next up? / Notorious B.I.G.’s death was the domino effect of Tupac’s murder / Like facial tissue, whose clock should I clean next? Puff’s? / ‘Til he’s in police handcuffs, guilty, will he step up? / Like gee, never turned himself in, who knows all the murders there’ll have been?!?”

The original version of Fuel featured J.Cole’s artist JID, who goes in on Diddy about the infamous Cassie video among other things.

The Bad Boy founder always denied any involvement in the shooting deaths of either Big or ‘Pac and there’s no evidence that he will be subpoenaed in Duane “Keefe D” Davis’ ongoing murder trial in Vegas.

Eminem fans are actually upset with his latest offering, complaining about the long wait for an album that only contains three tracks.

Today In Hip Hop History: The Sugar Hill Gang Released ‘Rapper’s Delight’ 45 Years Ago

On today’s date, 45 years ago, Hip Hop’s first Billboard Top 40 single, “Rapper’s Delight,” was released by Englewood, New Jersey’s Sugarhill Gang. As one of  Hip Hop’s earliest relics, this single, written by The Cold Crush Brothers’ own Grandmaster Caz, is credited with bringing the art of rap to a multicultural mainstream audience.

In the ’70s, disco and soul still reigned supreme in the clubs and lounges of the country’s urban centers. In its most primitive form, Hip Hop was still misunderstood (and exclusive to New York City and California). Breaking, tagging, rapping, and spinning records were widely recognized as the borderline criminal activities of whatever city’s urban youth. The culture’s cult following was majority made up of housing project residence, the type to not frequent the discos and bars of their respective downtown centers. Every once in and awhile, someone would drop a single that would break through and get some shine on the club scene but never make much of a splash nationally. “Rapper’s Delight” was a different story.

On September 20, 1979, new wave bands Blondie and Chic were playing a concert at New York’s renown Palladium with British punk rock band The Clash; Hip Hop’s earliest socialite (and soon to be television host) Fab Five Freddy was on the scene with Sugarhill Gang members Big Bank Hank, Mike Wright, and Master Gee. Having just released a single featuring Chic’s hit single “Good Times” from their recent international album Risqué, it was natural for the gang to hop on stage and start freestyling as soon as Chic dropped the bass line.

Sometime later, Chic’s Nile Rodgers was out at New York’s Club Leviticus and heard a recorded cut of the very song The Sugarhill Gang ever-so-delightfully interrupted his concert weeks earlier. Enraged, Rodgers immediately sought legal action and attempted to sue the Sugarhill Gang for using his band’s instrumental in their single. The lawsuit was settled out of court, and appropriate credit was given to Chic in their part of the song.

With the lawsuit and legal attention came a swarm of popularity. Disc Jockeys in clubs across the country began to spin this record every night of the week. The single gained so much play in the United States that clubs across the globe began to push this song like no tomorrow. Although the single may have peaked at #36 on the Billboard 200, it was #1 in Canada and the Netherlands, #2 in Belgium, France, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, and #3 in Germany and the UK. This single song sold platinum in both the United States and Canada, with over 5 million copies sold worldwide.

“Rapper’s Delight” may be the most important single of Hip Hop culture. It didn’t event style, it wasn’t the first to gain mainstream success, it wasn’t even from New York, but it was the biggest of its time. What “Rapper’s Delight” did was make it “ok” to listen to and support rap music out in the open. Before this single, Hip Hop was an urban taboo. Upon its release, the connotation transformed from one synonymous with the ghetto to a new and hip musical genre. In a way, “Rapper’s Delight” gentrified Hip Hop in a way that made it profitable. Without it, the culture would not be a powerful as it is today.

50 Cent Says Kendrick Lamar is ‘The Guy’ for the Super Bowl Halftime Show

by
50Cent024

Conversations surrounding the Super Bowl halftime performance continue. This time, 50 Cent is weighing in.

Appearing on The Talk, 50 cosigned the selection. “I mean, it was a choice. As a solo artist right now, he’s the guy,” 50 said.

Roger Goodell praised the selection of Kendrick Lamar as the Super Bowl halftime performer.

Speaking with TMZ Sports, Goodell revealed he is “feeling great” about taking the spot and he is a fan of the rapper.

Kendrick Lamar will take center stage at the Apple Music Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show at The Caesars Superdome in New Orleans on February 9, 2025. Roc Nation, Apple Music, and the NFL made the announcement, sparking excitement for the globally anticipated performance.

Shawn “JAY-Z” Carter, founder of Roc Nation, praised Lamar’s influence: “Kendrick Lamar is truly a once-in-a-generation artist and performer. His deep love for hip-hop and culture informs his artistic vision… His impact will be felt for years to come.”

Seth Dudowsky, Head of Music at the NFL, echoed this sentiment, saying, “Few artists have impacted music and culture as profoundly as Kendrick Lamar… Kendrick has proven his unique ability to craft moments that resonate, redefine, and ultimately shake the very foundation of hip-hop.”

Apple Music’s Oliver Schusser emphasized the excitement: “Apple is thrilled to bring this show, starring the absolutely incomparable Kendrick Lamar, to fans worldwide with Apple Music’s industry-leading Spatial Audio quality.”

Lamar, a Grammy and Emmy-winning artist and co-founder of pgLang, continues to redefine hip-hop, earning accolades like a Pulitzer Prize for his 2017 album DAMN. and his chart-topping collaborations earlier this year.

Lamar’s Super Bowl performance will be creatively directed by pgLang and produced by DPS, with Roc Nation’s Jesse Collins as executive producer and Hamish Hamilton as director.

Apple Music’s ongoing partnership with the NFL and Roc Nation has already produced record-breaking halftime shows, and with Kendrick Lamar at the helm, this year’s performance is set to be another groundbreaking moment in Super Bowl history.

SOURCE SPORTS: Mets Risk NL Wild Card Spot With Two Losses Over The Weekend To The Phillies

Mets manager Carlos Mendoza might really be re-thinking his choice of pitchers over the weekend against the Phillies as Bryce Harper and the Phillies take the last two of the three-game series, severely jeopardizing the Mets’ chances of an NL Wild Card berth.

The Amazins came into Philadelphia on Friday with everything in their favor; they were one game ahead of the Braves in the NL Wild Card race with a 8-2 record in their last 10 games and no one knew about superstr shortstop Francisco Lindor’s impending back injury. Fast forward to Sunday evening and the Mets are a half game behind Atlanta, risking their spot in the Wild Card, which now heavily depends on how the Braves do against the Dodgers on their home turf in Truist Park tonight(September 15).

On Friday, New York embarrassed the Phils, beating them 11-3, headed off by three 3-run HRs from Alvarez, Nimmo and Bader and a solo shot from first baseman Pete Alonso in the top of the ninth to seal the slaughter. Jose Quintana took control of the mound in the Mets’ first outing against Philly, shutting down four batters and only giving up three hits in seven frames. The Phillies got all their runs in one shot from Brandon Marsh, who blasted a three-run shot off Alex Young in the bottom of the ninth.

Maybe it was the superstition of Friday the 13th that moved the Mets up to the third spot in the NL East, just eight games behind the division leading Phils, but equally as esoteric, Lindor’s back injury had him pulled in the 7th inning, obviously raising questions about the team’s now unstable playoff position. In the second game of the series and the first game that the NL MVP candidate has missed in the past three seasons, the Phillies took the Mets down 6-4, with Bryce Harper banging two homers off Mets right hander Luis Severino in the 4th and 6th innings. Mendoza sent Young back to the mound for New York for only one out and gave up two hits and two runs, even after giving up three runs in one inning . Mets fans had hope on Sunday as Lindor returned to the lineup as the lead off batter, but was swiftly withdrawn from the game in the second inning. The Phillies edged the Mets 2-1 in the bottom of the ninth with a single from J.T Realmuto off Edwin Diaz, who replaced Phil Maton in the last inning.

With the Mets striking out at the plate more than the Phils in all three games, it may not just be pitching thats failing the Mets. The Mets seem to be hinging on Lindor’s uncertain return to the lineup, but the follow through from players like Nimmo and Alonso is needed, but isn’t happening. The Mets will also be missing RHP Paul Blackburn during this crucial point in the season after he was cleared for his hand injury just two weeks ago, but placed back on IL for a spinal fluid leak in his back yesterday(September 14).

Will the Mets maintain their position as the best team in MLB since the All Star break or will the combination of injuries, pitchers and fallen stars cost the Mets their chance at the pennant?

James Packer Opens Up About “Trainwreck” Breakup with Mariah Carey

Screen Shot 2024 09 15 at 6.41.16 PM

Eight years after the high-profile breakup between Australian billionaire James Packer and pop icon Mariah Carey, Packer is shedding light on the end of their engagement, calling it one of the “worst times” of his life. The pair’s relationship, which began in 2015 and ended in late 2016, was fraught with tension, and Packer is now revealing just how difficult it was for him.

In a candid interview with 7NEWS, as reported by RadarOnline, Packer, 57, described the breakup as a “trainwreck.” He recounted a particularly difficult period when Carey, 55, allegedly believed he had planted a negative story about her in the media. “Mariah and I had broken up, and she thought I’d planted a story in a magazine, which I hadn’t, and it made her look bad,” Packer shared. “She was threatening to say things about me, and so it was um… it was a trainwreck.”

The breakup, which occurred in October 2016, just nine months after they became engaged, marked the end of a whirlwind romance. Despite their seemingly glamorous lifestyle, Packer acknowledged that their relationship became toxic. “The times that I’ve been at my worst, you know, I’ve had a lot on my mind,” he admitted, alluding to personal struggles during that period.

Packer’s reflection comes years after both he and Carey moved on with their lives, but it highlights the complexity of their short-lived romance. The businessman, known for his vast wealth and media empire, has kept a relatively low profile since the split, while Carey, a music legend, continues to thrive in the entertainment world.

Their relationship, once seen as a fairy tale, became a tabloid sensation as it unraveled, with both parties going their separate ways under difficult circumstances. Now, Packer’s admission provides a rare glimpse into the emotional toll of their public breakup.

Ballet Star Michaela DePrince Passes Away at 29, Leaving Behind a Legacy of Inspiration

Screen Shot 2024 09 15 at 3.14.33 PM

Michaela Mabinty DePrince, the internationally acclaimed ballet dancer who rose from the ashes of war-torn Sierra Leone to grace some of the world’s most prestigious stages, has passed away at the age of 29. The tragic news was announced on her personal Instagram page by a family spokesperson, though the cause of death remains undisclosed.

DePrince’s family described her death as “sudden,” with her sister, Mia Mabinty DePrince, expressing profound heartbreak. “I am in a state of shock and deep sadness. My beautiful sister is no longer here,” Mia shared. The family’s statement also hailed Michaela as an “unforgettable inspiration,” whose influence spanned across the globe.

Michaela DePrince’s life was one of resilience and triumph. Born in 1995 in Kenema, Sierra Leone, she faced unimaginable adversity early on, losing both parents during the country’s brutal civil war. At just three years old, she was sent to an orphanage, where she was treated harshly due to her vitiligo, a skin condition that caused depigmentation. Despite these challenges, DePrince’s spirit remained unbroken.

She was adopted by an American couple and moved to New Jersey, where her adoptive mother, Elaine DePrince, fostered her burgeoning love for ballet. From there, Michaela’s talent and determination led her to incredible heights. She became the youngest principal dancer at the Dance Theatre of Harlem and gained further recognition when she appeared in Beyoncé’s Lemonade. In 2021, she joined Boston Ballet as a second soloist and, remarkably, made an appearance on Dancing with the Stars at just 17.

Her artistic prowess was matched by her humanitarian work. Michaela advocated passionately for children affected by conflict, using her platform to raise awareness and offer hope. A spokesperson for DePrince described her as someone whose artistry “touched countless hearts” and who lived a life of “grace, purpose, and strength.”

Tributes have poured in from across the ballet world and beyond. Misty Copeland, one of the most prominent American ballerinas, expressed her sorrow, writing, “Despite being told the ‘world wasn’t ready for Black ballerinas,’ she remained determined and made big strides.”

DePrince’s family is now grappling with an additional heartbreaking loss—the passing of their mother, Elaine DePrince, around the same time as Michaela’s death. The double loss has left her family and the ballet community reeling.

Michaela DePrince’s career shattered barriers for dancers of color and challenged the rigid stereotypes within the ballet community. She was not just a dancer; she was a symbol of hope, resilience, and boundless talent. Her legacy will continue to inspire generations to come.
