Drake Instagram DM Exposed, Internet Clowns Woman For Fumbling The Bag

March 12, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Drake is someone who has lived his life in the public eye for almost two whole decades. Overall, he started out his career as an actor and then transitioned into music. Since that transition to music, Drizzy has become a bonafide megastar. In fact, some could argue that he is the biggest male artist in the entire world. He is constantly topping the charts and selling out his tours. Furthermore, he is a pop culture icon who always makes headlines, no matter how banal his actions might be.

Having said that, there are always people out there looking to take advantage of his fame and his stature. For instance, there have been times when his nudes have leaked online. Moreover, there are times when people try to post their direct messages with the artist. DM leaks are an invasion of privacy and more often than not, completely unnecessary. Case in point, the DM you are about to see below. As The Neighborhood Talk reports, a woman posted a DM Drake sent her recently. In the message, the artist simply writes “was it you I recognized tonight?”

The woman took a screenshot of this and subsequently posted it to her Twitter page. This led to lots of ridicule but not towards Drake. Instead, people were confused as to why the woman thought it was necessary to post this. In fact, most insisted that she was completely fumbling the bag by doing this. “God be giving opportunities to the wrong folks,” one person wrote. “The FBI wouldn’t even be able to see my DM’s,” said another. With social media, everyone wants to flex every little detail about their lives. However, as a result, many miss the bigger picture, and you get situations like this one.

Let us know what you think of this situation, in the comments section below. What do you think of people consistently looking for clout by showing off DMs?

While the rant itself has been deleted, the IG post it was attached to can still be found on his account.

The Drizzy section was at the end of the rant. However, leading up to that, Ye unleashed the clip on the industry. He took the opportunity to go after anyone he has had a gripe with.

SOURCE SPORTS: Brother of Flau’Jae Johnson Arrested After Storming Court During LSU-South Carolina Fight

March 12, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The brother of LSU guard Flau’Jae Johnson, Trayron Milton, has been arrested and charged with assault, battery, and disorderly conduct.

The charges handed down by the Greenville Police come after Milton jumped a security barricade to rush the court while his sister was engaged in an on-court fight.

Milton came in contact with South Carolina forward Kamilla Cardoso, who pushed his sister on the court.

As of writing, Milton remains in jail.

Six players were ejected from the South Carolina and LSU basketball teams after a scuffle in the women’s SEC championship game.

The game was chippy and physical the entire way through, leading to the fourth quarter moment where heated trash talk between South Carolina players and LSU’s Flau’jae Johnson escalated.

Johnson bumped South Carolina’s Ashlyn Watkins after she yelled at the former following a turnover. As an argument ensued, SC center Kamilla Cardoso charged toward the group of players, forcefully pushing Johnson over.

From there, everything broke down, leading to players leaving the bench and Johnson’s brother hurdling the fan barricade and the scorer’s table to get to the field.

You can see the chaotic scene below.

After the game, South Carolina coach Dawn Staley spoke to the moment’s intensity. “For us playing a part in that, that’s not who we are,” Staley said. “That’s not what we’re about.”

LSU coach Kim Mulkey delivered a different message: “It’s ugly, it’s not good, no one wants to be a part of that. But I’ll tell you this, I wish [Cardoso] would’ve pushed Angel Reese. If you’re 6-8, don’t push somebody that little. That was uncalled for in my opinion. Let those two girls who were jawing, let them go at it.”

Cardoso would apologize on X after the game.

I would like to extend my sincerest apologies for my actions during today’s game. My behavior was not representative of who I am as a person or the South Carolina program, and I deeply regret any discomfort or inconvenience it may have caused. I take full responsibility for my…

South Carolina would win the game, continuing their undefeated season with an SEC championship.

SOURCE SPORTS: Kirk Cousins Isn't Scare of COVID-19 'If I Die, I Die'

Kirk Cousins’s days as a member of the Minnesota Vikings are over. Cousins is headed to Atlanta under a new four-year, $180 million deal.

According to ESPN, $100 million of the deal is guaranteed.

“After significant and positive dialogue with Kirk and his representatives, we were unable to reach agreement on a contract that fits the short- and long-term visions for both Kirk and the Minnesota Vikings,” Vikings general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah said in a statement. “Kirk holds a special place in Vikings history, and we appreciate his leadership and contributions to the team and the Minneapolis-St. Paul community over the past six seasons. We wish him; his wife, Julie; and their children all the best. Our approach heading into free agency always included layers of contingencies regarding the quarterback position. We are moving forward with plans that allow us to continue building a roster that can compete for a championship.”

Before going out with a torn Achilles, Cousins was putting up career numbers. Now the 35-year-old will return in a completely new environment.

The #Falcons are signing Kirk Cousins to a four-year, $180 million contract that includes a $50M signing bonus, per sources.

Another monster payday for Cousins, who gets $100 guaranteed — $90M in 2024 and ‘25, plus another $10M in 2026 — and a fresh start in Atlanta at age 35. pic.twitter.com/NkFNMzSjF5

Can we take a second to take in the fact that Kirk Cousins got a 4-year, $180M contract as a 35-year-old coming off a torn Achilles.

And he’s now on the #Falcons! So many ramifications.

In a significant move, the New York Giants are trading for pass-rusher Brian Burns from the Carolina Panthers and sealing the deal with a staggering $150 million contract. Burns is slated to receive $87.75 million in guaranteed money, solidifying his position as the second highest-paid defensive end in NFL history.

The Green Bay Packers have signed free agent Josh Jacobs to a four-year contract worth $48 million and informed Aaron Jones of his release.

The Carolina Panthers are in the final stages of securing a five-year contract worth $100 million with former Miami Dolphins guard Robert Hunt. This deal includes $63 million guaranteed.

Austin Ekeler, the former star running back for the Los Angeles Chargers, is set to ink a two-year contract with the Washington Commanders, with a potential value of up to $11 million.

The New England Patriots have agreed with former Washington Commanders running back Antonio Gibson on a three-year contract. This deal has a base value of $11.25 million and a maximum value of $17.25 million.

Ye & Ty Dolla $ign Take No. 1 on Billboard with “Carnival”

March 12, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Ye and Ty Dolla $ign have reached the top of the Billboard Hot 100. Their collaborative, stadium-sounding anthem, “Carnival,” featuring Rich the Kid and Playboi Carti, is the new No. 1 single.

“Carnival” now makes Ye the first rap artist to have a No. 1 in three decades (the 2000s, ‘10s and ‘20s).

According to Luminate, “Carnival” secures the 1,165th No. 1 spot in the 65-year history of the Hot 100. It amassed 33.7 million streams (up 4%), garnered 3.9 million radio airplay audience impressions (up 85%), and sold 3,000 downloads (up 15%) during the tracking week of March 1-7.

With “Carnival,” Ye claims his fifth Hot 100 chart-topper, following hits like Katy Perry’s “E.T.” (featuring Ye), which spent five weeks at No. 1 starting in April 2011, among others. Ty Dolla $ign previously led the Hot 100 for a week in June 2018 as featured on Post Malone’s “Psycho.”

It is the first No. 1 record for Rich the Kid and Playboi Carti.

Additionally, “Carnival” maintains its reign for a second week atop both the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot Rap Songs charts, utilizing a similar multimetric methodology as the Hot 100.

Meanwhile, Beyoncé’s “Texas Hold ‘Em” slips to No. 5 after two weeks at the Hot 100’s summit, although it continues its dominance atop the multimetric Hot Country Songs chart for a fourth consecutive week.
