Kylie Jenner is a billionaire businesswoman who reportedly makes $450,000 per day on average. She’s being picked apart on social media after asking her followers to donate money to her make-up artist, Samuel Rauda, who requires emergency brain surgery. The surgery will reportedly cost $60,000. Kylie reportedly only donated $5,000, which is a tiny portion of her daily earnings, pissing off fans of the social media star who believe that she should have covered the entire procedure.

While the majority of people are going off on Kylie, there is a select few that have been standing up for the billionaire. Among those people is rapper Asian Doll, who says that Kylie is generous for even using her platform to share the news.

“People mad at Kylie for raising 60k for her makeup artist instead of giving him 60k cause she rich,” wrote Asian Doll on Twitter. “Either way he got 60k right? Even if she ain’t personally give it to him he still got it from HER supporters meanwhile your friend won’t even take you to your job orientation. I don’t care if she’s a trillionaire her money is her money.”

Asian says that, just because Kylie has the money, she’s not obligated to spend any of it on her friend in need. She added, “He’s her MakeupArtist business is business she was more then generous to make him a go fund me & raised him 60k….. do your boss pay your medical bills? I don’t give a f*ck what nobody say people with money is not obligated to do for you just because they got it & you can’t get mad at what somebody do with THEY MONEY.”

Do you agree with Asian Doll’s take on the latest Kylie Jenner controversy?

LeBron James was one of the latest NBA superstars to go down with the injury bug over the weekend as he sprained his ankle in a game against the Atlanta Hawks. LeBron was immediately in pain and after trying to put some weight on his foot, he decided to leave the match and never came back. Last night, LeBron was in a walking boot on the sidelines as his team took on the Phoenix Suns, and at this point, it’s clear that the superstar has a long road ahead.

According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, LeBron will have to miss “several weeks” with this injury, which means you won’t be seeing him on the court any time soon. This could be a two-month wait for Lakers fans, especially since the team doesn’t want to rush LeBron back if they don’t have to.

“Nothing angers and saddens me more than not being available to and for my teammates! I’m hurt inside and out right now,” LeBron wrote after the injury. “The road back from recovery begins now. Back soon like I never left.”

The Lakers are in third in the Western Conference although, over the next month or so, fans can expect them to be closer to the bottom half of the playoff contenders. It wouldn’t be shocking if the team fell close to eighth in the standings, especially with Anthony Davis out as well.

If you are a big fan of the Air Jordan 11, the Holiday season always tends to treat you well. Jordan Brand always comes out with a Jordan 11 model in December, and this year, the “Cool Grey” model is expected to be returning to the market. Typically, there is only one Jordan 11 colorway to be had throughout the year, although in 2021, it seems as though Jumpman may be changing things up a bit. In a recent post from @zsneakerheadz on Instagram, it was revealed that a women’s only “Animal Print” offering will be hitting the market.

In the photoshop rendering below, you can see that the sneaker will have a black base, while the material that goes all the way around the shoe features a leopard print to it. There seem to be various different patterns to be found here although the color remains consistent. This is a unique approach compared to the usual patent leather we typically get with other Air Jordan 11 models.

Just like the “Cool Grey”, this shoe is expected to drop around the Holiday season, so be on the lookout for updated information as we will be sure to bring that to you. As always, let us know what you think about this potential colorway, in the comments below.

Though Snoop Dogg was certainly no friend to former President Donald Trump, his philosophy ensures that when it comes to the memes, anybody can get it. Case in point, the Doggfather recently took to Instagram to poke fun at President Joe Biden, who recently made headlines after repeatedly stumbling during a climb up the stairs of Air Force One.

Though many wrote the moment off as simple clumsiness, others expressed concern with the President’s health and mobility, using it as further ammunition against his position in office. While it doesn’t appear that Snoop Dogg falls into such a category, it’s clear he does see the humor in Biden’s viral gaffe, offering the President a recommendation for a possible solution. 

“I got moms One of these for her stairs before and it was a smooth glide ya dig,” writes Snoop, alongside a doctored video of Biden ascending the extensive steps while seated on an assisted-stair climber. “Good shit joe.” At this point, it’s clear that there’s nothing the internet won’t cook up, and it’s evident that Snoop is content to watch the chaos unfold with a smile on his face. Perhaps it’s a soft rebuttal to the recent reports that Joe Biden’s team was moving to fire staffers with a history of marijuana use, a topic that Snoop holds close to heart. 

Check out Snoop Dogg’s reaction to the Biden meme below. 

NBA players have been getting the injury bug as of late and it has affected some of the best players in the entire league. The best example of this is LeBron James who recently injured his ankle, as well as LaMelo Ball who is now out for the season due to a wrist injury. Last night, James Harden also suffered an injury although it wasn’t as bad as the previous players mentioned.

During a win against the Washington Wizards, Harden was shouldered in the jaw, where he suffered a bit of whiplash and was forced to come out of the game. Eventually, Harden was able to come back into the match, and after the game, he spoke about what went down and what allowed him to get back.

“I got hit in the jaw. My neck kind of twitched. I’ll be all right. It’s nothing,” Harden said per The New York Post. “Get some treatment on it, get some rest and be ready to go the next game.”

The Nets are already without Kevin Durant right now so any more injuries to their big three could result in some lost positioning in the Eastern Conference standings. Regardless, Harden seems okay and that’s all that matters for the team right now.

During a recent interview, Jack Harlow named some of his biggest musical influences, giving flowers to Drake, Eminem, Jay-Z, Lil Wayne, and André 3000. Out of those names, the Kentucky native has only gotten the chance to work with one of those legendary artists, trading verses with Tunechi on the “WHATS POPPIN” remix. However, in the coming months, he’ll be crossing another one of those names from his list, revealing that he’s got a song with one of the other four artists.

“One other one’s coming right up. One other [name] I listed is coming right up,” said Jack on the Big Facts podcast with Big Bank and DJ Scream. After the hosts tried to widdle the list down, they theorized that Jack could be featured on Drake’s heavily-teased new Certified Lover Boy album. While the rapper and DJ Drama don’t confirm that he’s featured on the project, Jack said, “Just wait. Hold on.” DJ Drama added that their collaboration would “sound fire”. 

When they suggest a Harlow x Eminem song, Jack shrugs and Drama says that that would also “sound fire”.

Right now, it’s unclear which one of these legends Jack Harlow has a song with. But in the next few weeks, the rising star will be getting yet another monster co-sign from one of the all-time greats, which marks another major moment in his career.

Who do you think he’s been working with? Drake? Eminem? Jay-Z? Or André 3000?
