Soulja Boy and Bow Wow have been at each other’s necks for the last few weeks but don’t be mistaken– this isn’t a feud. The two are setting up to face off against each other on Verzuz, comparing their hits catalogs to see, once and for all, who the biggest influence is. As Soulja Boy continues telling the world that he was the first rapper to do anything and everything, he’s officially hit his close friend with the ultimate troll move, reminding fans of the Bow Wow Challenge from a few years ago.

The infamous Bow Wow Challenge kicked off a few years ago at the height of the Bow Wow trollery. One specific fan called out the 34-year-old entertainer and claimed that Bow was sitting on the same commercial flight as him mere minutes after the rapper posted a picture of a private plane on Instagram. Months of clownery followed as people joked that Bow Wow lied about all of his accomplishments for clout, taking everything he said with a grain of salt and discrediting his every move. Soulja Boy made sure to aim at his rival’s jugular with his latest joke, reposting the Bow Wow Challenge on his page on Monday morning.

Leaving the post captionless, Soulja Boy let his fans do all the talking in the comments, simply jogging their memories with the laughable clout-chasing display.

Throughout Ben Simmons’ career, there have been people who have touted him as “LeBron James without a jump shot.” Pundits like Stephen A. Smith truly believe that once Simmons develops a jump shot, he will become one of the best players in the league. Unfortunately, none of these prophecies have come to fruition, and quite frankly, Simmons has steadily gotten worse over the last couple of years.

Perhaps the best example of this regression was last night as the Sixers lost Game 7 to the Atlanta Hawks. Simmons had five points in the entire game and at one point, he refused to execute on a wide-open dunk, and instead, passed the ball off to a teammate who was covered. It was a tragic offensive display and his refusal to even attempt shots ultimately cost the Sixers their season.

Immediately after the game, Simmons was the subject of some brutal slander on Twitter, and now, there are some Sixers fans who want him gone. Even Doc Rivers isn’t convinced that Simmons can be the starting point guard on this team, which is a serious indictment of his talents. This could prove to be a turbulent offseason for Simmons and it wouldn’t be surprising to see him on another team in short order.

Father’s Day is supposed to be one of the best days of the year for all of the dads of the world but for rapper Ace Hood, it was just a miserable Sunday. The Florida-based entertainer made claims against the mother of his children in a video on Father’s Day, saying that he wasn’t allowed to see his kids, suspecting that their mother’s decision was made because of money. 

“The reason I do not have my children today is because the mother of my children wants her story to be right,” said Ace Hood in a video. “Which means her story in her mind is that I am not a good father, my children don’t want to spend time with me… I don’t support the kids. Also, I’m never there for the children, so that’s her story in her mind and she wants to tear me down as a person.”

The “Bugatti” rapper said that he believes money lies at the core of her decision to shut him out of his kids’ lives, but she rebutted and claimed that that’s not the case.

“That man owe me $95,000 and he up here talking about, ‘It’s about money’? Antoine, I been had a house, both of my cars is paid,” said Shanice in her response. She also said that Ace and his wife were going this route for a check from Love & Hip-Hop, suggesting that they’re fabricating the drama for ratings.

Throughout the NBA playoffs, there are always some unlikely heroes during big moments. Some players embrace the idea of playing their best when the pressure is the biggest, and as it turns out, Kevin Huerter of the Atlanta Hawks is one of those guys. While many expected Trae Young to shine during Game 7 against the Sixers last night, it was actually Huerter who carried the Hawks thanks to a 27-point performance that also included seven rebounds.

With Young shooting poorly, the Hawks needed other guys to step up and that’s when Huerter played one of the best Game 7’s from an auxiliary player we’ve seen in quite some time. Almost every shot went in and his teammates were truly impressed by everything they were witnessing.

Thanks to Huerter’s massive performance, the Hawks are going to the Eastern Conference Finals where they will now play the Milwaukee Bucks who just came off of a win against the Nets. Even if the Hawks lose this series, Huerter’s performance will still be remembered for years, and there is no doubt that the fans in Atlanta love him right now.

In the tweets below, you can see some of the reactions to Huerter and how he took the league by storm last night. Let us know how you think the Hawks will do against Milwaukee, in the comments below.
