When it comes to resect, Deion Sanders is not playing around. The NFL legend boasts several successes throughout his career including multiple awards and honors, as well as Super Bowl and Pro Bowl wins, but Jackson State University‘s head coach is going viral and it isn’t because of his accomplishments. An exchange at the SWAC Media Day in Birmingham was the epicenter of an awkward moment when Sanders checked a reporter for referring to him by his first name only.

A reporter for the Clarion-Ledger named Nick Suss was speaking to Sanders but the football icon didn’t appreciate his first name being used. “You don’t call Nick Saban, ‘Nick,’” Sanders said of the University of Alabama’s coach. “Don’t call me Deion.”

“If you call Nick, ‘Nick,’ you’ll get cussed out on the spot, so don’t do that to me. Treat me like Nick.” Suss ignored Sanders and called him “Deion” once again, and that was when the JSU coach reportedly walked out of the interview. Later, Suss defended his actions and explained why he didn’t heed Sanders’s warning.

“When I interview people, I call them by their first name,” Suss revealed. “Whether it’s someone I’ve been working with for years or someone I’m talking to for the first time. This is true of the coaches and players on the Ole Miss beat, the coaches and players at Mississippi State and Southern Miss when I help out covering their teams and, as recently as January, even Sanders, too.”

Do you think Deion Sanders should have walked out?

As the parent of a biracial child, Khloé Kardashian believes it is important for her to speak about controversial issues pertaining to race. The reality star mogul and on-again-off-again boyfriend Tristan Thompson share three-year-old daughter True, and with all that has been occurring politically in the U.S., Khloé explained why she takes the time to talk with her child about topics pertaining gto race and ethnicity.

The Kardashian sister recently appeared on the Leomie Anderson Role Model podcast where she said, “I know some people get uncomfortable with talking to their kids about race, or they think, ‘Oh, we live in a bubble. We never have to address that my child is Black.'”

“I mean, of course you do!” Khloé continued. “You’re only setting them up, I think, for failure if you don’t talk about race and probably the things that they’re going to endure once they’re in, quote, the ‘real world.’… I don’t want her living in a bubble thinking, you know, because we do have this very privileged life and I want her to know all types of life and all types of living and be very aware of that.”

Khloe’s other sisters Kim Kardashian and Kylie Jenner are also the mothers of biracial children, with Kanye West and Travis Scott respectively, so she is able to speak with them about any challenges or topics to discuss with True. 

“The beauty of having some of my sisters in the same situation is we get to have those conversations probably together,” Kardashian stated. “I will be always learning and trying to do the best I can do as being her mom, but I’m obviously not a woman of color.” Listen to the full episode below.

Memphis got it right now. The talent that’s coming out of the city is certainly making noise, not just in the South but across the globe. Yo Gotti deserves tons of credit for putting on for his city, as does Young Dolph, despite their differences. They’ve helped introduce plenty of artists to the fold including Moneybagg Yo who earned his first #1 album of the year with A Gangsta’s Pain.

Of course, you have to mention Pooh Shiesty on this list of young rappers who are representing Memphis to the fullest. Despite his incarceration, he was recently included on the XXL Freshman List. He and Big30 have been making noise alongside each other over the past several months. As with most collaborators, they’ve found themselves getting compared to each other quite frequently.

30 took to Instagram where he firmly stated that the comparisons are getting out of hand. “It got to be spoken on quick. Stop comparin’ me to my n***a. Where they do that at? When that shit start? The goal is not to be better than my n***a. Why y’all in my comments [saying], ‘Told y’all he better than Shiesty’ or ‘He sound like Shiesty,’ ‘Shiesty better than 30, ’30 better than Shiesty.’ That shit weak,” he said.

Ultimately, he explained that he and Shiesty are teammates in it for the long haul. “We ain’t competin’ against each other. We don’t do that on this side,” he continued.

Drakeo The Ruler has been poppin’ his shit ever since he came home. The rapper’s prison stint left him with a small but loyal, dedicated following who kept up with his case and championed his name across the board. However, from behind bars, he was able to watch others in the game jack his style and run with it. 

Today, he addressed fans who’ve claimed that Soulja Boy has been jacking Drakeo’s style. Now, they’ve had their friction from earlier this year but Drakeo didn’t hold back in claiming that he’s caught Big Draco biting his flow on several occasions. The California rapper hit the ‘Gram where he made the allegations about Soulja Boy, though he seemingly brushed it off as a regular occurrence in the rap game in general. “Ofcourse I see Soulja Boy rapping like me ain’t no different from these other n***as who rap like me,” he wrote on Instagram with the hashtag #ThisMyCity.

It’s unclear what song Drakeo’s referencing where Soulja Boy bites his style but it’s quite possible that it might be “Rick N Morty.” The song has an eerie, West Coast vibe that is similar to Drakeo, along with a flow that’s also comparable to the South Central rapper.

This, of course, isn’t the first time Drakeo and Soulja Boy have found themselves engulfed in tension. Drakeo and Soulja Boy previously had a back and forth over who the real Big Draco is. Clearly, there are still some unresolved matters between the two of them.

Kanye West is officially debuting a new track tonight during Game 6 of the NBA Finals, Beats By Dre announced on their Twitter. The announcement comes amidst growing rumors of a new project from West releasing in the immediate future.

“Tonight. Game 6,” the account succinctly wrote. In addition to West, they also tagged American track and field sprinter, Sha’Carri Richardson, who was infamously suspended from Olympic competition for testing positive for marijuana use. Complex has previously reported that the new song will debut in a trailer for Beats By Dre headphones with Richardson.

Any further details about the track or the upcoming album are just speculation at this point.

However, earlier Tuesday, Chris Brown, who has previously collaborated with West for his hit “Waves,” hinted that he is going to be featured on West’s project. “Dat Yeezy and Breezy [eyeballs emoji],” he said in an Instagram story, earlier in the day. Those who have heard the album have claimed to expect appearances from Lil Baby, Travis Scott, Westside Gunn, Playboi Carti, and more.

West is also rumored to be bringing a “Donda Experience” to Rolling Loud Miami this weekend, on Sunday, July 25th.

Game 6 of the NBA Finals between the Phoenix Suns and Milwaukee Bucks tips off at 9:00 PM.

Bhad Bhabie, who recently celebrated her 18th birthday in April, discussed her record breaking stint on OnlyFans during an interview with Inked Magazine for their cover story. While talking with the publication, she took the opportunity to call out her haters, yet again.

Bhad Bhabie told the magazine, “Since I was young, I’ve been called names and told that I’m doing this and that. I thought, ‘You know what, I might as well make money from it.’ I’m not gonna lie, I did definitely expect for it to be the biggest shit ever for the website. I figured I was one of the biggest people to do it and it was going to do amazing. But even after I made one, [the success still] shocked me.”

Shortly after celebrating her 18th birthday, Bhad Bhabie launched her OnlyFans page and social media ate it up. The creation of her OnlyFans profile reportedly raised a whopping $1 million in the first six hours. She addressed the controversy in a previous interview with TMZ, stating, “I think any b*tch who says that is mad ’cause they didn’t make as much money as me on there.”

Bhad Bhabie also mentioned to Inked that she does have plans to release new music. “Now I’m 18 and I’m definitely going to show that I’m more mature with the stuff I’m talking about and my delivery,” she said while chatting with the publication.
