Peso Pluma Shouts Out Gervonta Davis On His Newest Single

by

One of Mexico‘s biggest artists is finishing out 2024 with a celebratory type of track. Peso Pluma is here with “gervonta,” his first solo release since his massive double album, ÉXODO, which hit streaming back in June. On this near three-minute cut, the Zapopan native raps in his typical yelpy and growly delivery over a trumpet and guitar-led instrumental. While the entire song isn’t showing love to American boxing champion Gervonta Davis, Pluma does shout him out on the chorus.

“Cryptocurrencies come my way / Front row watching Gervonta in Las Vegas / Shining, Swiss watch on my wrist / And on a private jet because time flies.” For a majority, he’s actually flexing his wealth and motion. “Girls in the jacuzzi, the guys with Uzis and SCARs / More private parties, Marca Registrada, my man / We party, molly and wax, tropical blew the coconut / Hooded up, hustling ovеr in Dubai.” So, why would Peso Pluma namedrop the athlete in the track? Well, according to Variety, he’s a massive fan of wrestling, boxing, and similar sports for a long time. In fact, his stage name actually translates to “featherweight,” a weight classification. He’s listed off some inspirations in his career like Ric Flair, for example. You can chec out “gervonta” with the YouTube audio link below.

“Gervonta” – Peso Pluma

Quotable Lyrics:

Pure damsel who likes to misbehave
And a brunette who doesn’t know how to act
Gloss and lipsticks, she’s high, lit a joint from the Fly
Like a fish in water, we’re all flying under the radar
An Italian who drives me around the city
In Al Capone mode, mob boss, and sightseeing in Japan

Jake Paul Has Some Strong Words For Gervonta Davis After Boxing Challenge

by

Jake Paul is on a very high horse after beating Mike Tyson in their long-awaited boxing match in Texas on Friday night (November 15). A lot of people within the combat sports world and outside of it continue to react to the showdown, whether in positive or negative ways. Also, this led to plenty of challenges and reflections on both boxers’ actual talents, such as superstar lightweight Gervonta Davis saying that he would “beat the brakes” off of Paul if they ever stepped into the ring together. When a reporter asked the content creator-turned-fighter about this, he let out a small chuckle, and his colleague posited that Davis needs Paul, presumably for attention, money, status, or a real challenge.

“Yeah, I mean, I’d be down,” Jake Paul responded to Gervonta Davis’ boasting. “Let’s run it. Like, I’d be super, super down. Is there a height limit in boxing? […] Yeah, [Conor McGregor] will never do that, though,” he answered when asked if he sees a bout with the skilled combatant happening in the future. “He knows. He knows way, way, way better than that. He’s not his own boss.” “One, he’s under contract. And two, he won’t do it,” Paul’s colleague added.

Jake Paul Responds To Gervonta Davis

With all this in mind, we know that Jake Paul must feel like he’s on top of the world after proving many of his haters wrong. A lot of people bet against him in his Mike Tyson fight, including a losing bet from Drake that cost him $355K. They say success is the best revenge, and since it’s a dish best served cold, we don’t doubt that the Ohio native will talk a lot of smack to anyone ahead of his next moves.

Meanwhile, we wonder how Jake Paul and Mike Tyson will talk about their matchup in the coming days, as they already provided some preliminary statements on the matter. Maybe they give each other the props they deserve or their feud continues beyond the boxing ring. One thing’s for sure, though: more and more challengers will want to step up to the plate. The only question is what common ground they will find to make it happen.

50 Cent Keeps Trolling Floyd Mayweather Amid Gervonta Davis Beef

by

50 Cent hopped back into the Floyd Mayweather and Gervonta Davis beef, and although he seemingly deleted his posts on the matter, ink dries in milliseconds in the social media age. Moreover, he had previously seemed to legitimately express concern over Davis’ claim that Mayweather was being held in Dubai for owing the wrong people money. Now, it seems like the G-Unit mogul is ready to see a battle between these two after the former threatened to knock the latter out amid their tensions. “Ahh Champ [Gervonta] gonna f**k you up champ, I think you should only text him. Tank sharp right now might knock you right the f**k out!” he captioned an Instagram repost of Davis’ threat.

Furthermore, for those unaware, Floyd Mayweather and Gervonta Davis are the subject of 50 Cent’s fascination right now due to a spat that broke out between them over social media. This resulted from comments that the former made about other boxers faking the lavish lifestyle they aim to live and not really having things in order nor understanding the sacrifices to get to that point. Davis thought that his former mentor aimed some of these comments at him, and then made the Dubai claims. Not only do they have a history together of friends turned enemies, but so do Mayweather and Fif.

50 Cent’s Latest Troll Of Frenemy Floyd Mayweather Versus Gervonta Davis

Then, the conflict kept escalating online with pot shots from one to the other. Since many of these tweets and posts from Floyd Mayweather, Gervonta Davis, and 50 Cent have been deleted, it’s unclear where things stand now. Maybe they were able to reach some sort of agreement behind closed doors or coincidentally agreed that it wasn’t worth keeping that negativity online. For now, it’s a hard call to make.

Meanwhile, even other boxers like Ryan Garcia chose to jump into this feud, so who knows what could happen next? All we know is that there’s a lot of history here, and this might not be something that a fight or a sit-down conversation could resolve. Hopefully they keep looking for that solution, or at least find humor and no serious animosity in some Internet trolling. On that note, stay posted on HNHH for more news and the latest updates on 50 Cent, Floyd Mayweather, and Gervonta Davis.

50 Cent says he believes Gervonta Davis’ recent claim that Floyd Mayweather is currently stuck in Dubai because he allegedly owes the wrong people money. He responded to the latest drama between Davis and Mayweather in a post on Instagram, on Saturday, by sharing a series of tweets the fighter recently posted. Davis wrote in part: “They got Floyd ass for real..tell him I’ll send him a wire.. LET MY F*CKING FAMILY GO” as well as, “Let me call 50, we gotta get this n***a home by Monday.”

“Oh nah this sh*t is real. [Davis] would not say no sh*t like that if it wasn’t official. Me and Champ [Mayweather] be beefing but he my brother.

The drama began when Mayweather shared a video of himself calling out other boxers for not taking the sport seriously enough and reflecting on the journey he took to get to where he is. “A lot of times what these fighters are looking at—they’re looking Floyd with the cars, they’re looking at Floyd being flashy,” Mayweather said. “Man listen, I made so many sacrifices. Y’all are looking at the end results…And [when I was] champion having hundreds of millions in the bank, I still was on my grind in that gym. Y’all are worried about your outfits, how your boots look, worried about the wrong things. A lot of you fighters are living check to check.” Afterward, Davis shared the video with the caption: “Ni**a says all this bullsh*t, but [he’s] in Dubai and can’t leave because he’s been taking ni**as’ money and not doing what they paid him to do. Ni**a a f**king hater.”

Ryan Garcia Accuses Gervonta Davis Of Sleeping With Floyd Mayweather’s Daughter Yaya

Gervonta Davis and Floyd Mayweather’s feud continues to heat up, and Ryan Garcia recently hopped online to add fuel to the fire. Recently, Mayweather took to Instagram to throw shade at “young boxers,” which prompted Davis to respond. He took this as a direct shot at himself and quickly clapped back. He accused Mayweather of owing various other boxers money, alleging that he’s hiding out in Dubai to avoid paying what he owes.

Since then, Davis has shared various subliminal posts directed at Mayweather online, making it clear that he doesn’t plan to back down. 50 Cent even jumped in on the beef on Instagram this morning to make similar allegations.

Ryan Garcia Speaks On Gervonta Davis & Floyd Mayweather Feud

“I already knew about it, once Gervonta f*cked Floyd Mayweather’s daughter,” he said. “That’s not even a secret, that’s not something I’m exposing. After somebody did that to my daughter…” According to Garcia, this may be the root cause of the two boxers’ public spat, though this is unconfirmed. While some fans are shocked by Garcia’s latest claim, others argue that it doesn’t come as a surprise, as it was previously speculated that the two were in a relationship. At the time, however, both of them denied it.

As for how Mayweather has responded to Davis’ accusations, he took to his Instagram Story last night to share a clip of the young athlete dancing. “We always knew he had sugar in his tank,” the caption reads.

Floyd Mayweather Fires Back At Gervonta Davis

by

Floyd Mayweather has responded to Gervonta “Tank” Davis after the young boxer’s fiery rant. Davis was responding to a Mayweather Instagram post that threw shots at “young boxers.” Gervonta took these veiled shots as shade towards himself, so he responded as such with his own Instagram response. Davis accused Mayweather of holding money from various boxers to whom he owes money. Additionally, Tank says that he is hiding out in Dubai, so his debtors can’t collect. Now Mayweather has responded to Tank, and this back-and-forth will probably go on for a while. 

The rift between Tank and Mayweather began to widen when Tank won the world title in 2017. Their relationship further deteriorated in 2022 when Tank left Mayweather’s fight promotion to go solo. Last year, Tank accused Mayweather of ejecting him from his gym during his preparation for a fight with Ryan Garcia, claiming that Mayweather was trying to hinder his training. Tank’s resentment towards Mayweather is palpable, and he has now stoked the flames of their feud.

Floyd Mayweather Responds To Gervonta Davis With Vicious Comeback

Floyd Mayweather responded by posting a video of Gervonta Davis dancing with a caption overlaid on the video. Mayweather wrote,  “We always knew he had sugar in his tank.” The play on words is a derogatory attack on Tank’s personality. This beef goes back a while and will likely continue for the foreseeable future. It has been over one year since Tank defeated Ryan Garcia in his last fight. Davis is set to take on June 15th in a non-title fight. Gervonta is looking to stay on track, but Floyd is actively trying to shake the fighter up. 

Mayweather is also beefing with the father of Devin Haney. After Haney’s defeat at the hands of Ryan Garcia, Floyd Mayweather called Garcia to congratulate him. Haney’s father did not appreciate him calling Garcia and called the boxing legend out for disloyalty. Hopefully, there will be a rematch between Haney and Garcia soon because it seems like it has caused a lot of boxing drama. Overall, Davis and Myweathers beef will probably have more updates soon.

Gervonta Davis Calls Out Floyd Mayweather In Fiery Rant

by

Gervonta “Tank” Davis and Floyd Mayweather seem to have some new beef between them. In the past, Davis was a sort of protege to Mayweather, with the two having a mentor-mentee relationship. Their relationship started to fracture after Tank started winning titles back in 2017. In 2022, Davis left Mayweather’s fight promotion company, striking out on his own. During Tank’s training for his fight against Ryan Garcia, he alleged that Mayweather kicked him out of his gym. he asserted that Mayweather attempted to keep him from training for the fight effectively. Now Tank has responded to a recent Mayweather video, officially calling the boxing legend out.

This morning, Tank responded to Mayweather with some pointed words. Floyd Mayweather is no stranger to beef. This week, he had a heated argument with Devin Haney’s father. Mayweather came under fire from Haney’s camp after he called and congratulated Ryan Garcia on his win over Devin Haney. Haney’s dad called him out for a lack of loyalty. Gervonta Davis has now called out Floyd and has alleged similar instances of disloyalty that he has shown over the years.

Gervonta Davis Says Floyd Mayweather is a ‘Hater’

In the clip, Gervonta Davis responded to Floyd made a rant about young fighters. Mayweather said, “A lot of times what these fighters are looking at – they’re looking Floyd with the cars, they’re looking at Floyd being flashy.” he continued, “Man, listen, I made so many sacrifices. Y’all are looking at the end results, and [when I was] champion having hundreds of millions in the bank, I still was on my grind in that gym.” Floyd’s comments are pointed directly at some young fighters, and Davis believes the shots were specifically about him.

Gervonta Davis responded by bringing up a rumor that has been circling around about Mayweather. he said in his response, “N***a says all this bulls***, but [he’s] in Dubai and can’t leave because he’s been taking n***as’ money and not doing what they paid him to do. N***a a f***ing hater.” Tank is certain Mayweather is ducking fighters that he owes money to, which is why he has been in Dubai. Overall, the drama in the boxing game is heating up.

Gervonta Davis Changes Name After Conversion To Islam

by

Gervonta Davis has changed his name to Abdul Wahid following his recent conversion to Islam. Directly translated, the name means “Servant [of the] Absolute One” or “Servant [of] Allah”. Wahid converted to Islam last week, formalizing his conversation on December 24. He joins the ranks of a number of high-profile Muslim boxers currently fighting. Devin Haney is also an active follower of Islam.

Wahid said he chose to convert in order to further his personal faith journey. It has been a tough year for the boxer. Earlier in the year, he spent 42 days in jail for his 2021 hit-and-run conviction. Wahid had initially served his sentence under house arrest. However, he was remanded to a jail cell after a judge objected to the conditions of his house arrest. As a result, Wahid hasn’t fought since he defeated Ryan Garcia in April. His next fight is unknown at this time.

Abdul Wahid Speaks On Potential Naoya Inoue Fight

Meanwhile, Wahid recently addressed fans clamoring for him to fight two-division undisputed champion Naoya Inoue. “I’m not fighting him. He’s NOWHERE near my weight. [I don’t know] why this page keep posting sh-t like this,” Wahid said in response to a fan-made poster hyping a fight between the pair. Nicknamed “The Monster”, Inoue has made a name for himself as a generational talent at the bantamweight and super-bantamweight divisions. He is currently 26-0 after unifying the super-bantamweight title in a fight against Marlon Tapales.

However, Waid currently fights at a minimum of lightweight, two divisions higher than super-bantamweight. That would mean a massive jump for Inoue to make to be on the same weight level as Wahid. This is more of a case of fans simply wanting to put two generational talents into the same ring, regardless of the logistical obstacles. Who would you like to see Wahid fight next year? Let us know in the comments.

[WATCH] SOURCE SPORTS: Gervonta Davis Converts To Islam, Changes His Name To Abdul Wahid

In the mindset of two great boxing champions who came before him, undefeated B-More native Gervonta Davis has taken his Shahadah, therefore converting to the religion of Islam. Video footage of Davis taking his Shahadah has surfaced while criticism has already been given to the boxer for the Islamic name he has now chosen for himself.

Just as famous Muslim converts Muhammad Ali and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar chose new names along with their new religion, Davis has chosen the name Abdul Wahid, which means “slave to The One”. Imam Hasan Somali disclosed Davis’s Muslim name, explaining, “The attribute that he chose, the name that he chose as a Muslim, is Abdul Wahid. It means the servant of the One, from the names of Allah, the name of God, which is Al Wahid.”

It is not confirmed if he will continue to fight under the name Davis or his newly received name. Other athletes such as Kyrie Irving and Mike Tyson continued to use their given names in public after their conversion to the most practiced religion on the planet.

Gervonta Davis Affordable Housing Plans Fall Apart After Block Fire: Watch

by

Like so many others with large bank accounts to play with, the 2023 holiday season has Gervonta Davis in the giving spirit. Before settling in with his family to eat delicious food and unwrap heartfelt gifts, the athlete opted to give back to the community of Baltimore with an impressive purchase. Rather than expanding his collection of luxury jewelry and designer clothes, Davis bought a block of apartments in his hometown, with plans to renovate them into affordable housing options for locals in need.

Just hours after the 29-year-old happily celebrated his plans to make the world a better place, disaster struck. As Essentially Sports reports, a fire lit up the building Davis had just purchased, though firefighters seem to have since brought the chaotic situation under control. The boxer’s trainer, Calvin Ford, posted a clip of the scene on Instagram on Friday (December 22), showing smoke bellowing from the windows.

“I swear to God like, when they come to Baltimore, there’s no win… This man is a world champ! And he wanted to give back to the community he was raised in…That community is on fire day after he pay for it,” a voiceover rants. In the comments of Ford’s post about the tragic situation, many are begging for Davis not to give up on Baltimore. Others, however, understand why he would want to cut ties with his roots and focus on his future instead. “Nahhh somebody tried burning the building that Tank just bought? SMH, the heat be so real that’s why sometimes you gotta leave your city and don’t turn back,” one person wrote. “

Gervonta Davis’ valiant attempt to aid his community might not have gone over as planned, but at least other stars are having better luck with their holiday plans. Even Young Thug, who’s spending his second Christmas in jail, managed to sponsor a holiday toy drive for those less fortunate than him this year.
