Jason Kelce is once again in the news for a fan interaction. On Thursday evening, Kelce was in Los Angeles for an interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live. The football legend left the El Capitan Theater and was met with a fan that was angry at Kelce for not signing autographs. The fan referred to him as “nobody special” and a “s**t bag.” Kelce explained that he doesn’t sign autographs for people who follow him around. In a de-escalation measure, Kelce did ultimately sign the fan’s gear, saying that he was not trying to be mean. The fan apologized as well.
This comes just a few weeks after a previous altercation Jason Kelce had, where a Penn State athlete shoved his phone in Kelce’s face and referred to his brother, NFL star Travis, as a “f*****t” for dating Taylor Swift. Kelce smacked the athlete’s phone out of his hands. He repeatedly asked him “who’s the f*****t” now?” in response to the athlete’s words. Kelce later apologized for his actions on ESPN’s Monday Night Countdown, saying that he “fell down to a level he shouldn’t have.”
Jason Kelce Gets Heckled By Fan Demanding Autograph
Of course, the future Pro Football Hall of Famer’s interaction with a heckling fan is far from the first time an athlete has been approached for an autograph in that way. However, it is good for all parties that the situation did not escalate beyond some very pointed words.
Jason Kelce’s interview with Jimmy Kimmel aired last night. In the conversation with Kimmel, Kelce confirmed his own late-night talk show venture with ESPN would be going forward. ESPN issued a press release on Friday morning with additional details. They Call It Late Night With Jason Kelce premieres on January 3. It airs on five straight Fridays, through the NFL playoffs. The last episode airs on February 1, just over a week before Super Bowl 59. This new role comes in the first year of a multiyear contract with the famed sports network, and appears to be a strong showing of confidence in Kelce’s media presence going forward.
Beyonce will be headlining a halftime show for the matchup between the Baltimore Ravens and Houston Texans on Christmas Day, next month. Netflix announced the performance in a post on social media on Sunday night. Along with the announcement, Netflix shared a video of Beyonce with her song, “AMERIICAN REQUIEM,” playing in the background. It will be the streaming service’s first day hosting an NFL game.
The announcement has fans on social media stoked. “GIRL I JUST WOKE UP THE WHOLE NEIGHBORHOOD SCREAMING,” one user wrote in response to the news on Instagram. Another added: “One thing this woman gone do is DROP something outta nowhere and have the internet going up.”

Netflix’s Christmas Day slate of NFL games comes after the streaming service hosted the live fight between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul on Friday night. That experience didn’t go over well for many users on social media who have complained about buffering and lag issues. In response to Beyonce’s announcement, one user on Instagram wrote: “Netflix just proved they can’t handle a boxing match. they wanna try this? I mean i’m gonna watch but fix your stuff first!” In addition to Texans-Ravens, Netflix will also air the earlier game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Beyonce Will Perform On Christmas Day
It’s not Beyonce’s first time working with the NFL. She previously performed at the Super Bowl Halftime Show in 2016. Additionally, her husband, JAY-Z, now helps the league choose headliners for the event. In other NFL news, Kendrick Lamar will be headlining the Super Bowl Halftime Show, this season. Check out Netflix’s announcement below.
Snoop Dogg has come to the defense of JAY-Z and his selection of Kendrick Lamar as the headliner for the Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show. Discussing the upcoming event during a live episode of Drink Champs at ComplexCon 2024, Snoop explained that JAY is giving a platform to hip-hop artists that they never had access to before.
“What we need to think about is that before JAY-Z got control of the Super Bowl wasn’t no n**gas performing. So let’s go back to the essence of the beginning of bridge,” Snoop said. “He’s creating a wave of artists to have an opportunity to perform. If you are a good artist and you are a great artist, your time will come. I was never crying about it or mad about it when Dr. Dre called me and asked me to get his back. I was there for him, but I didn’t feel like I was supposed to be there, I was in demand to be there. This is a big event. People looking at everything when they picked the person to perform, you should just be honored that hip-hop is being able to be seen on that platform for all of us and not hate on the next.”

Snoop’s defense of JAY-Z comes after Lil Wayne and many of his supporters voiced their disappointment that he wasn’t given the opportunity. Wayne has complained about the NFL’s selection of Kendrick Lamar on several occasions in recent months. Performing at his Lil Weezyana Fest, earlier this month, Wayne described headling the event as something that was “ripped away” from him.
Snoop Dogg Reflects On The Super Bowl Halftime Show
Despite losing out on the Halftime Show, Wayne has signed on as a weekly guest on NFL GameDay Morning. Check out Snoop’s full thoughts on the Super Bowl Halftime Show below.

When you are as big as Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce, you are bound to run into some problems. Whether it be over eager fans or nasty hate and criticism, it just naturally comes with job. However, we are sure that both would rather deal with that over what we are about to reveal. According to a report from TMZ Sports, the quarterback and tight end tandem had their homes burglarized last month.
The Cass County Sheriff’s Office says that Mahomes’ pad in Belton, MO was broken into first. This all went down on October 6 at midnight, which is when local police got to the scene of the crime. As for Travis Kelce, his house, located in Leawood, Kansas, was robbed around 7:33 p.m. on October 7. It seems this was the plan for the criminals to orchestrate these break-ins in this manner because the Chiefs were on “Monday Night Football” that night.
The Contents Stolen At Patrick & Travis’ Homes Are Still Up In The Air

It was a matchup with the New Orleans Saints at Arrowhead Stadium. As it stands, police have not been able to disclose what was stolen at Mahomes’ home. However, there is a recent update from TMZ which details what was taken from Kelce. They say it was $20,000 and some damage to his back door.
Given how scary these things are, the future Hall of Fame pass catcher and Taylor Swift decided to stay at a hotel that night. The pop star was in attendance for that game as well. Sources close to the story say that there was a major crime spree going on during the burglaries. Our best goes out to Mahomes, Kelce, and their loved ones during this time and hopefully, justice will be served soon.
Chad Johnson, who you might know better as Ochocinco, has been the talk of the town this week. Moreover, his longtime partner and fiancée Sharelle Rosado recently came out on social media to say that they broke up. The former NFL player seemed to push back on this, though, as he posted her initials on his Instagram Story with a lock emoji to suggest that he still wants to keep going. Nevertheless, he addressed the issue recently during an appearance on the Nightcap podcast, his show that he cohosts with Shannon Sharpe. It seems like this is still a pretty complex situation for the most part.
“I’m just saying, I’m blocked,” Chad Johnson remarked. “I don’t know what to do. […] If you live it publicly, you break up publicly? It’s okay. I can deal with that, though. The stove is hot, boy. I won’t touch it. No, [she didn’t say not to call her anymore]. Why don’t you do me a favor? Why don’t you be the moderator? *laughs* You laughing. That s**t ain’t funny, man. That s**t hurt, boy. All I do is tweet normal. I tweet football, that’s it. That’s with me. You ain’t have to be so public, and you might be watching.”
Shannon Sharpe basically advised Chad Johnson to keep things offline, to give Sharelle Rosado space, and to be ready to have a conversation when she’s ready. But some folks think that there was already something going on in Ochocinco’s relationship. For example, Corey Holcomb recently suggested that her eagerness to appear on Nightcap should’ve been a “red flag” for Johnson from the jump. Of course, that’s just a speculative theory, but it’s one of many examples of folks trying to figure out what could’ve happened.
Nevertheless, that’s not for anyone to know other than Chad Johnson and Sharelle Rosado, so hopefully they can talk things out and reach a decision together. At least we know that Shannon Sharpe is there to support, even if he and Ochocinco have their issues from time to time. Maybe we will see a public resolution to this or they will settle this in private, which seems like the ideal move.
Ja’Marr Chase trolled Diddy while speaking with reporters after the Cincinnati Bengals‘ 34-24 win over the Carolina Panthers on Sunday. One reporter brought up his 63-yard touchdown score, during which he shook several tacklers, and jokingly asked whether he was wearing baby oil. In response, Chase seemingly made reference to the recent indictment against Diddy, in which authorities accused him of having 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant in his home during a police raid.
“No,” Chase said in response, as caught by Fox News. “We gotta keep that for somebody else. That’s not my question right there. I did do it as a kid though. You can’t even ask that no more bro. There’s too much going on in life right now with that.”

Diddy’s lawyer, Marc Agnifilo, recently defended his client having so much baby oil during an interview with TMZ. He began by claiming that the number is an exaggeration. “I don’t know what you need 1,000 – one bottle of baby oil goes a long way,” he said. “I don’t know what you’d even need 1,000 for. He has a big house, he buys in bulk. I think they have Costcos in every place where he has a home. Have you sat in the parking lot of a Costco and see what people walk out of there with?” Diddy has already pleaded not guilty to the charges of sex trafficking and racketeering.
Ja’Marr Chase Thrown Off By Baby Oil Question
Check out Chase’s full response to the baby oil question, as well as his highlight play, below. The Bengals are now 1-3 with a game against the Baltimore Ravens coming next week. Be on the lookout for further updates on Ja’Marr Chase as well as Diddy on HotNewHipHop.
Was #Bengals wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase wearing baby oil during his wild 63-yard touchdown against the Panthers?
Jamie Foxx probably wasn’t expecting to get into too many antics when he went to a recent Dallas Cowboys game… But here we are. He recently went on a livestream on social media while sitting alongside Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, who seemed to be having a very interesting conversation. Moreover, at one point of the livestream, Jones seemingly references an “eight-and-a-half-inch d**k” in reference to one of the players on the field, which made the actor immediately end the live session. Of course, this resulted in a lot of backlash for Jones and some sympathy for Foxx for being in that uncomfortable position.
We wonder what else Jamie Foxx might have to say about the situation, as he’s getting more open these days. For example, he recently offered some details about his harrowing health scare last year. “Look, April 11 last year, bad headache, asked my boy for an Advil [and] I was gone for 20 days,” the actor recently remarked. “I don’t remember anything. I’m in Atlanta, they told me. My sister and my daughter took me to the first doctor. The next doctor said, ‘There’s something going on up there…’ I won’t say it on camera… but it was.”
“I’ll be going back to my stand-up sort of roots, and I’ll tell you in my way,” Jamie Foxx said of his situation at the African-American Film Critics Association Awards. “It’ll be called ‘What Had Happened Was,’ And it’s got all the things that have happened, especially on our side in our community. Being cloned and all kinds of s**t. N***as will come up with anything. ‘Motherf***ing clone, he a clone!’ Even when they saw me out.
“‘That ain’t no goddamn Jamie, that’s a clone!’” Jamie Foxx joked. “I’m on a boat [waving my hand], ‘No! that’s a clone!’ I dove out of a car to save this Black woman’s purse, and I’m taking a picture, and they go, ‘That ain’t no damn Jamie, that’s a clone!’ But then they saw me with a white girl. ‘That’s Jamie! You know he love them white b***hes!’ Come on, man! That’s why I didn’t think I was going to get this award; am I Black enough?”
Tyreek Hill, star wide receiver for the Miami Dolphins, found himself in an unexpected situation during a traffic stop with Miami-Dade Police just hours before his team’s first game of the season. The incident led to Hill being detained briefly by the authorities. However, the altercation between Hill and the police quickly gained attention, especially after body-camera footage of the event was released, showing the aggressive nature of the officers at the scene. Both the Miami Dolphins organization and the local police have made public statements, though the body cam footage ultimately speaks volumes.
According to CNN, Miami-Dade Police pulled over Tyreek Hill as he drove to the stadium before the Dolphins’ game. Per police reports, the traffic stop was initiated due to Hill’s failure to wear a seatbelt and for allegedly speeding. Things escalated when Hill, visibly frustrated, expressed dissatisfaction with how the officer approached his car and knocked on the window.
In the body-camera footage released by the police department, Hill can be heard telling the officer, “Don’t knock on my window like that.” As the interaction continued, Hill grew more agitated, repeatedly asking for his ticket so he could leave. The officer then ordered Hill to lower his window fully, but when Hill hesitated, the situation quickly intensified. Within moments, Hill was pulled from his vehicle, restrained, and placed in handcuffs.
Body-Camera Footage Released
The MDPD released nearly two hours of body-worn camera footage of the incident just a day after it happened. Police Director Stephanie V. Daniels explained that although it is not common practice to release footage before the conclusion of an internal review, they chose to do so to ensure transparency with the public.
The footage shows Hill growing increasingly frustrated as the officers continued to instruct him to lower his window. After several verbal exchanges, Hill was physically removed from his vehicle, handcuffed, and briefly detained. Hill repeatedly expressed confusion and frustration, telling CNN, “I’m still kind of shell-shocked from it.”
Following the release of the body-camera footage, the Miami Dolphins organization publicly criticized the behavior of the officers involved. The team expressed disappointment in the “unnecessary force” directed towards Hill and his teammates, who later arrived at the scene. “It is both maddening and heartbreaking to watch the very people we trust to protect our community use such unnecessary force and hostility towards these players, yet it is also a reminder that not every situation like this ends in peace, as we are grateful this one did,” the team said in a statement. The Dolphins emphasized they have a positive relationship with the local police. Still, they believe this incident demonstrated an abuse of power by the officers involved.
Hill’s agent, Drew Rosenhaus, also condemned the actions of the police, calling for the officers to be fired. Rosenhaus described the situation as “heartbreaking” and expressed disbelief at how things unfolded. He insisted that Hill was trying to get to work and should not have been treated with such hostility.
Calais Campbell’s Involvement
During the incident, Dolphins defensive lineman Calais Campbell arrived at the scene and attempted to deescalate the situation. Campbell recounted the situation in an interview with ESPN. He explained how he approached the officers with his hands up, and hoped to speak with them about Hill’s detainment. However, his efforts were quickly shut down. Campbell was told to leave the scene, and when he refused, he was handcuffed as well. He expressed concern over how quickly things escalated. Campbell stated that the situation could have taken a much darker turn had they not been there to support one another.
Police Union Defends Officers
‘NOT IMMEDIATELY COOPERATIVE’: Here’s what Steadman Stahl, the head of Miami-Dade Police Benevolent Association, said about Tyreek Hill’s detainment just hours before he took the field with his Miami Dolphins teammates on Sunday. https://t.co/ZRo5fAQ3ej
In response to the backlash from Hill’s detention, the local police union defended the actions of the officers involved. According to Steadman Stahl, president of the South Florida Police Benevolent Association, Hill was uncooperative from the moment the officers approached his vehicle, which led to them placing him in handcuffs for their own safety.
“Upon being stopped, Mr. Hill was not immediately cooperative with the officers on scene who, pursuant to policy and for their immediate safety, placed Mr. Hill in handcuffs,” Stahl told CNN. “Mr. Hill, still uncooperative, refused to sit on the ground and was therefore redirected to the ground. Once the situation was sorted out within a few minutes, Mr. Hill was issued two traffic citations and was free to leave. In this case, while we will wait for the investigation to run its course, based on what we know, we stand with the actions of our officers but look forward to further open communication moving forward.”
Investigation & Officer Reassignment
One officer involved in the incident has been placed on administrative duties pending the outcome of the internal review. The officer, identified as Danny Torres, is a veteran with 27 years of service. While the investigation is ongoing, Torres’ attorneys have spoken out in defense of their client. They stated that they support the review but believe the officer should be reinstated.
Director Daniels of the Miami-Dade Police Department emphasized her commitment to transparency and accountability in all matters involving her officers. However, she stopped short of making any specific predictions about the outcome of the investigation.
Hill’s Reflection On The Incident
In an interview with CNN, Tyreek Hill reflected on the altercation, expressing a mix of confusion and embarrassment. “I was following rules. I wasn’t moving fast because you know I got injuries, I got things that I go through, I play a physical sport, I’ve been doing this for a moment now man so I’m dealing with some stuff, so I guess the officers, they felt like I wasn’t doing it on their timing.” Hill also speculated on how differently the situation could have unfolded if he weren’t a high-profile athlete, suggesting that it could have ended much worse.
Hill admitted that he was trying to avoid causing a scene by keeping his window up, as he didn’t want to attract attention from passersby. “I’m not trying to cause a scene because … if I let my window down, people walking by, driving by, they’re going to notice that it’s me and they’re going to start taking pictures. I didn’t want to create a scene at all, I just really wanted to get the ticket and then just go out about my way and have a great Sunday.”
The Miami-Dade Police Department placed the officer behind the arrest of Tyreek Hill on administrative leave. They had detained the Miami Dolphins’ star receiver prior to his game against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. Miami-Dade Police Department Director Stephanie V. Daniels addressed the incident in a statement caught by CNN.
“Following the incident involving Tyreek Hill, I have initiated an Internal Affairs investigation to ensure a thorough review of the matter. One of the officers involved in the incident has been placed on administrative duties while the investigation is conducted,” Daniels said in a statement. “I’m committed to transparency and accountability to the community with any situation involving my officers.”

Hill discussed the incident with reporters after the game. “I wasn’t disrespectful because my mom didn’t raise me that way, didn’t cuss, didn’t do none of that. Like I said, I’m still trying to figure it out,” he said at his postgame press conference. As for the team, they put out a statement on social media before the game: “This morning, WR Tyreek Hill was pulled over for a traffic incident about one block from the stadium and briefly detained by police,” they said on X (formerly Twitter). “He has since been released. Several teammates saw the incident and stopped to offer support. Tyreek and all other players involved have safely arrived to the stadium and will be available for today’s game.”

Master P wants Kendrick Lamar to bring out Lil Wayne for his headlining set during the Super Bowl Halftime Show. The NFL announced the “Not Like Us” rapper will be performing at Super Bowl LIX on Sunday, as the league kicked off Week 1 of the 2024 season. “Salute to Kendrick Lamar for performing at the halftime show at Super Bowl LIX.. well deserved,” the legendary rapper wrote on Instagram in response to the news. “He’s one of the hottest music artists in the world and has one of the biggest songs right now.”
He continued: “As Ambassador of Entertainment in the City of New Orleans I have to agree with the fans that Lil Wayne should be a part of this celebration as well. He’s one of the greatest Hip Hop artists alive, still relevant and he’s a New Orleans native. Let’s not miss this cultural moment in the South. Life is too short! We have to give our legends their flowers while they are here. #Godisgood Change starts with us.” He finished by tagging the NFL, JAY-Z, and the Mayor of New Orleans, LaToya Cantrell.

Master P isn’t the only hip-hop legend to comment on the announcement. JAY-Z, who will serve as a strategic entertainment advisor for the performance along with Roc Nation, also reacted to the news with a statement. “His deep love for hip-hop and culture informs his artistic vision. He has an unparalleled ability to define and influence culture globally,” he wrote. “Kendrick’s work transcends music, and his impact will be felt for years to come.” Super Bowl LIX will kick off on Sunday, February 9, 2025.
