As Conor MacGregor eloquently put it, Nate Diaz is on a rampage.

Just ten days after the announcement of his fight against Jake Paul, which is slated for August 5th, former UFC fighter Nate Diaz choked a man until he was unconscious in a brawl on the streets of New Orleans.

In a totally separate occasion, but on the same night, Diaz threw a water bottle at Chase DeMoor during a live Misfits boxing event in NOLA after being heckled and called a “p*ssy” by the reality TV star.

Both incidents have been caught on camera.

Screen Shot 2023 04 22 at 11.04.18 AM

Last week Jamie Foxx’s daughter announced that he had been rushed to the hospital after suffering from an undisclosed medical emergency. The 55-year-old actor is still in a Georgia medical facility after he fell ill while filming  his upcoming Netflix movie Back in Action, alongside Cameron Diaz and Glenn Close.

Reports are now saying that Jamie is still in the hospital but sources confirm he is awake and alert.

People Magazine reports:

Jamie Foxx’s health is continuing to improve after being hospitalized in Georgia last week following what his daughter called a “medical complication.”

“He’s OK, thank God,” a source tells PEOPLE. “He’s still in the hospital and doctors are running tests but he’s awake and alert. They’re keeping him under observation.”

Multiple sources have told PEOPLE that the Oscar winner, 55, is steadily improving as he works toward recovery in a Georgia medical facility.

The incident occurred while Foxx was in Georgia to film Back in Action. It did not happen while he was on set, and he was not transported to the hospital by emergency vehicle, PEOPLE confirmed.

Production resumed soon after on the set of the Netflix movie, in which Foxx stars alongside Cameron Diaz and Glenn Close. He was last seen filming on April 10. Due to his hospitalization, one stunt double stood in for Foxx and a second individual served as his photo double.

Today In Hip Hop History: GangStarr Dropped Their Debut LP ‘No More Mr. Nice Guy’ 34 Years Ago

Screen Shot 2023 04 22 at 8.56.08 AM

On this date in 1989, Boston native Keith Elam and Houston native Christopher Martin, better known as Guru and DJ Premier, came together to continue the legacy of Gangstarr and released the group’s first full studio album entitled No More Mr. Nice Guy.

Released by overseas label Chrysalis Records, Gangstarr, and their debut release ironically heavily influenced the NYC Hip Hop sound, even though neither artists were native New Yorkers. Tracks such as “Positivity,” “Conscious Be Free,” and the album’s lead single, “Manifest,” exposed Guru’s unparalleled slow flow, while instrumentals like “DJ Premier In Deep Concentration” just set the pace for who Hip Hop would later recognize as one of the greatest producers in the game.

A supreme salute goes out to DJ Premier, Guru(RIP), the Elam family, the Gangstarr Foundation, and the entire East New York for creating a pivotal moment in Hip Hop history.

Wendy Williams Brother Calls Out Her Manager: ‘I Just Know He’s Not A Man, He’s Soft’

Screen Shot 2023 04 21 at 1.38.37 PM

Former daytime talk show host Wendy Williams’ brother Tommy went live on YouTube and stated his dissatisfaction towards some of the people around his sister during Easter.

After expressing his disappointment in Wendy bringing camera’s home for the holidays, then leaving shortly after her brother is fed up with people taking advantage. Tommy is naming Wendy’s manager Will Selby as the unsavory character he doesn’t trust.

The Sun reports:

In an on-camera interview, Tommy Williams exclusively revealed to The U.S. Sun what he thinks about Wendy’s mental state, and how he feels about his famous sister’s associates after some escorted the star on a trip to Florida earlier this month.

“She’s so caught up with who she was and not who she’s become, and apparently she’d like to get back to who she was because she can’t stop talking about that person,” her 54-year-old brother said.

“So let’s all help you get back to that person, but we haven’t been able to help because she’s up in New York around people and we, the family, can’t get our hooks in her properly to reel her into the shore.

“So she’s staying out there with the sharks,” Wendy’s frustrated brother added.

Tommy then zeroed in on Wendy’s manager Will Selby, who was along with the star in Flordia to film her reality show.

“I don’t trust Will. I finally could say what I saw, I don’t trust.

“He wasn’t a man of very many words,” Wendy’s brother said, adding that the manager never introduced himself to either him or their elderly father, Thomas Williams Sr, while filming.

“And if you’re coming around our father and you’re putting this big piece together, and Wendy’s been away all this time and your name is synonymous with Wendy then speak the f*** up.

“Speak up, say something! Who are you!?”

“I’m just trying to keep my family safe because as my father climbs in age, I’m in the position to do what needs to be done for my family.

“So Will, you don’t have to talk to my father. And it was obvious you didn’t have the balls to talk to me and say anything to me.”

Tommy, who also claimed that Wendy is not well enough to be filming a reality show, also said of Will: “He seemed a little bit timid and out of sorts, and I guess if you’re doing the wrong thing, you’re not going to feel right.”

“I just know that he’s not a man. He’s soft. And he plays the backdrop. And that he’s using Wendy,” the star’s protective brother concluded.
