The Milwaukee Bucks have now won 11 of their last 12 games and have moved up to 3rd in the Eastern Conference, but star Giannis Antetokounmpo says the national media is not giving them the attention they deserve. He explained that he actually prefers the lack of coverage following the Bucks’ 120-113 win over the San Antonio Spurs, Saturday.

“We don’t play for people to talk about us. I kind of like it. I just want to be left alone. I never liked bright lights,” Antetokounmpo told reporters. “I never liked people talking about us. It just adds pressure to me and my teammates to come in and do what we do. I kind of like to be under the radar and we just come in, enjoy one another, enjoy playing basketball and we’re just getting the job done. But, yeah, there’s gonna be times they’re gonna talk about us, there’s gonna be times they’re not gonna talk about us, but personally, as I said, I just like being under the radar.”

The NBA Playoffs are set to start on May 22nd.

Former President Donald Trump, who was banned from a myriad of social media sites earlier this year, is reportedly getting ready to launch his own platform within the next few months, his long-time adviser, Jason Miller, told Fox News on Sunday. Miller boasted that the site is expected to attract “tens of millions” of new users and “completely redefine the game.”

“This is something that I think will be the hottest ticket in social media,” Miller told Fox’s Howard Kurtz. “It’s going to completely redefine the game, and everybody is going to be waiting and watching to see what President Trump does, but it will be his own platform.”

“This new platform is going to be big,” Miller added. “Everyone wants him and he’s going to bring millions and millions — tens of millions — to this platform.”

Trump was initially banned from Twitter for his role in inciting the riot at the Capitol Building on January 6th, 2020. Numerous other social media sites quickly followed suit. 

The incident also led to Trump’s second impeachment, but the former President was later acquitted by the U.S. Senate, following the inauguration of President Joe Biden.

No exact timetable was given for Trump’s new social media platform, but Miller says he expects it to reach the public in “about two or three months.”

CHIKA’s social media presence is somewhat refreshing. The XXL Freshman and Grammy nominee often uses the Twi platform to directly address critics, fans, and even to condemn fellow artists for problematic behavior. Once again proving that she’s not the one to think twice about expressing her honest opinion, the 24-year-old artist absolutely destroyed celebrity gossip hound Perez Hilton for his alleged fake love he’s been showing her.  

On Saturday (March 20), CHIKA flamed Hilton for using her recently released Once Upon A Time single “Cinderella Pt. 2” without crediting her at all. “i distinctly remember perez hilton purposely misgendering me on here a couple years ago,” she tweeted. “but now his bitch ass is playing cinderella (pt. 2) on his IG story without crediting me.” 

In a since-deleted tweet, Hilton attempted to clap back at CHIKA with a sarcastic retort.  “Misgendering someone is assigning or referring the wrong gender to a person. I never gendered you. So the stupid one is you. Hey, at least you’re stupid and making some money now. Xoxo,” wrote the king of gossip. 

This sent CHIKA off on a rant about his problematic action. “1.) Saying he/she, even to someone whose gender you don’t know is wrong. Esp bc nonbinary and agender people exist. Which is why the majority of the intelligent population says ‘they.’ You adhered to the binary because you wanted to offend me, and that’s clear, doofus,” she began. 

She continued, “2.) You, yourself, as the fucking anal polyp you are have admitted to me you knew who I was PRIOR to ‘not gendering me.’ It was clear that I am a woman. But you trying to be cute actually showed your transphobia live and in stereo. You wanted to defeminize a Black woman.”

She finally went on to put Hilton into a body bag. “You are the cancer of an industry that will make my family wealthy,” she added. “CRY about it. NEXT time you address me, put some fuckin respect on it. Because the people who before me MADE you … what a waste of an existence. I hope you’re proud. Oops, I almost forgot. Bitch. Now I’m done. Have fun struggling to read this.”
