Police have confirmed that 28-year-old Chicago rapper Lil Reese was grazed in the eye by a bullet, Saturday, and has been taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital in fair condition. Video of the shooting went viral on social media, earlier Saturday.

The Chicago Tribune reports that “Lil Reese told police that he met the people in the Durango outside of the garage and directed them where to drive so he could buy cannabis from them, the report said. The other people shot gave police little information.”

Two other individuals, ages 20 and 27, were involved in the shooting as well. The 20-year-old man was shot twice in the knee, but is currently in “good condition.” The 27-year-old man was shot multiple times in the body and is in “critical condition.”

This is the second time Lil Reese has been shot in the past year and a half. In November 2019, the Chicago rapper was left in critical condition after being shot in the neck and was unable to properly speak for two months during his recovery.

Reese’s manager asked fans to keep the rapper and his family in their prayers, Saturday afternoon.

Saturday night, TMZ obtained photos of the car in question which you can find here.

Houston Texans coach David Culley refused to answer whether he expects quarterback Deshaun Watson to attend the team’s offseason workouts, when asked by reporters, Saturday. Watson is facing 22 lawsuits that allege he committed sexual assault and misconduct. 

“We have nothing to say about that situation at this time,” Culley said Saturday, according to ESPN. “[Texans chairman Cal McNair] and ownership a few weeks back indicated about how our organization feels about the situation. I think when [general manager Nick Caserio] was on not long ago, he also mentioned that the legal process was in effect right now and we’re going to respect that and go from there.”

Watson has also previously requested a trade from the Texans, but any moves on that front stalled amidst the pending lawsuits.

Culley last spoke with the media on March 11, before the allegations against Watson broke. At that time, he sounded optimistic about Watson’s future with the organization.

“He is our quarterback,” Culley said at the time. “He’s the only guy we got under contract at this time, right now.”

He added that the Texans were “very committed to Deshaun.”

The NFL is currently conducting an investigation into Watson.

Dan Harmon has opened up regarding the long-rumored Kanye West episode of Rick and Morty and why it hasn’t come to fruition, despite West being a big fan of the series.

“Time will tell,” Harmon said during an interview on MSNBC, this week.. “I think that when Kanye signs on, as he did, to do an episode, it won’t just be Kanye doing a guest voice or Kanye doing a song. We agreed that it needed to be really interwoven with the Rick and Morty franchise having its own integrity and Kanye having his own, without spoiling any details of what that story would be. Suffice it to say, the end result was going to be a lot of original music.”

Harmon says that there were solid ideas for an episode “within minutes” of West meeting the writing team, but network executives told them to reel it back in.

“At that point, that was when seven different corporations — and I don’t fault them for this because this is their job — they have to say, ‘Whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait a minute. Slow down psychos. What are you doing,'” Harmon continued.

Romeo Miller and Bow Wow traded shots on social media, this weekend, amidst rumors that the two will face off in a future Verzuz matchup.

The back-and-forth started when Romero appeared on a recent episode of Fox Soul’s The Mix, and remarked, “If Bow Wow do a godddamn battle and it’s not with me, don’t do it. If Bow do a battle, I’m open for it.”

Word got back to Bow Wow and he replied on Twitter: “You sure you want this smoke? i see you calling me out. You sure this what you want to do? #VERZUZ”

Fans have been itching for a Verzuz appearance with the two rappers since the series started, last year.

From there, Romeo posted a lengthy response on his Instagram story.

“Regarding this Verzuz talk, I’ve gave this man Bow @shadmoss his roses since we was kids and even reached out myself (multiple times) to celebrate him and our era together in a creative way,” he wrote. “I could put my pride to the side if it means doing something positive and bringing back nostalgia for a dope ass generation.”

He continued:

Now if you think this is smoke my brother, we could hit up @loganpaul and get on one of those boxing tickets. You know me in real life bro, we aren’t kids anymore; leave that for the fans. This ain’t about the competition for me, this is about showing the impact that 2 young black kids had on the entire industry. That’s the Win. To inspire the next! It’s NoLimit. You got my number, hit me.

Seth Rogen says that he and his Freaks & Geeks co-star Jason Segel both auditioned for the role of Cheddar in Eminem’s iconic film, 8 Mile, which he recalled in his new memoir, Yearbook.

“Auditioning is embarrassing in the best of times. Add the fact that one of my best friends is watching me do it and that we’re both reading for rappers from Detroit, which we could not have been less right for,” Rogen writes in the book, according to Insider.

He goes on to explain that the two actors were unable to make it through their audition because they couldn’t stop laughing.

Rogen recalls performing dialogue such as, “Yo, yo, mothafucka! It’s Chedda! What up, bitch!” and “Yo, yo, Rabbit! You gotta record your shit at Paisley Park, yo!”

“I started laughing hysterically,” Rogen says in the book. “And so did Jason. We literally couldn’t make it through the auditions. As soon as one of us started the scene, the other would lose it…It was so silly, we couldn’t finish. We just excused ourselves and saw ourselves out, tears streaming down our faces.”

Suffice it to say, neither actor landed the role and Evan Jones would go on to star as Cheddar.
