Kevin Hart Labels Katt Williams’ Criticism Of Him “Entertainment”

by

Kevin Hart says that Katt Williams’ criticism of him is just for “entertainment.” Hart reflected on his feud with the veteran comic during an interview with WSJ Magazine for its spring 2024 men’s fashion issue on Wednesday.

“It’s just that. It’s entertainment,” Hart told the outlet. “If that’s what he fuels himself off, God bless him. Good for him. I hope he gets all that he needs and he wants, and I’m here cheering for him from afar. That’s my real energy. I really mean it! That’s how happy and secure I am with my career and my life.”

Williams originally criticized Hart for taking the roles he had turned down during an interview with Shannon Sharpe on his Club Shay Shay podcast. “For a five year period, every single movie that Kevin Hart did was a movie that had been on my desk that all I had said was ‘Just can we take some of this step and fetching s— out and then I can do it?’” Williams said at the time. “And me saying that and them going ‘oh yeah, no problem’ and then going to give it to this other guy and having him do it just like it was and acting like I’m a bad person because I keep standing on my standards. It’s interesting, but I wouldn’t change it for the world – again, I’m on the winning side of these decisions.”

Juice WRLD’s Girlfriend Ally Lotti Allegedly Sells His Clothes On OnlyFans

by

In recent months, Juice WRLD’s former girlfriend Ally Lotti has found herself at the center of a fair amount of controversy. In January, for instance, the OnlyFans model received a ton of backlash for allegedly leaking a sex tape featuring the late rapper on the primarily adult platform. Now, she’s come under fire once again, this time for seemingly trying to sell his clothes on the site.

In a new screenshot making its rounds online, Lotti appears to agree to sell a fan Juice WRLD’s Supreme Louis Vuitton hoodie for $3K. In the messages, she claims that several other supporters were also looking to buy the item, urging them to hurry up and pay if they wanted it. She’s now receiving a great deal of criticism from Twitter/X commenters, who agree that the apparent sale feels cold, to say the least.

“Nobody has disrespected this man more since his passing [than] her,” one user writes. “What happened to shame?” another wonders. While plenty of commenters think Lotti is guilty of exploiting her ex and his passing, others are coming to her defense, arguing that she’s simply selling clothing she wouldn’t otherwise use to fans who would enjoy it. Unfortunately, however, this isn’t the first time she’s been accused of mishandling Juice WRLD’s belongings.

Last year, 600 Breezy claimed that Lotti might’ve given her new man, Carter Jamison, Juice WRLD’s clothes and jewelry. “I be seeing what’s going on with his ex,” he explained. “They claiming she giving up his watches and coats and jackets and sh*t. I’m not just gon’ sit here and say she doin’ that, because I don’t really know what’s going on. Maybe she just buying [her new boyfriend] the same type of sh*t.” What do you think of Juice WRLD’s girlfriend Ally Lotti allegedly selling his clothes on OnlyFans? Do you think she deserves the backlash she’s receiving online, or are social media users overreacting?

Lil Uzi Vert’s “Silly Watch” Embodies Everything About The Philly Rapper

by

Lil Uzi Vert had fans begging and pleading for a new album after his hit-filled record Luv Is Rage 2 dropped in late 2017. The Philly affiliate is one of the hardest rappers to trust when it comes to his promises of new music. But the wait was well worth it for fans as well as his bank account. When Eternal Atake finally hit streaming in March of 2020, it cleaned house with sales. Fans scooped up 288,000 copies, easily enough for a number one spot on the Billboard Hot 200 chart. One of the reasons why it was so successful was because of Lil Uzi Vert’s cut “Silly Watch.”

The banger about his obsession with watches also catapulted Eternal Atake to having the fourth largest streaming week ever. “Silly Watch” is quintessential Uzi as he lives up to his stage name rapping at the fire rate of the SMG. The Supah Mario beat is also very addicting with its piano-led melody. Hardcore fans of his will know that this track had a different name.

Listen To “Silly Watch” By Lil Uzi Vert

According to Genius, the record was going to be referred to as “40 Glock.” However, Supah Mario cleared things up on Twitter saying that it does not exist. When the tracklist was revealed that is when fans figured out that “Silly Watch” would be the new moniker. It has since become one of the most popular tracks on the sophomore LP and for good reason. Of course, it would go on to receive its deluxe, LUV vs. The World 2, a week later with more features.

What are were your thoughts on “” by Lil Uzi Vert? Is this one of his strongest tracks of from Eternal Atake, why or why not? What is your favorite element of the song and why? Is this project still in your rotation? Do you prefer this version, or its deluxe, LUV vs. The World 2?

Quotable Lyrics:

Got a Richard Mille, this not a silly watch
All this money make me wan’ hit my Diddy Bop
Tell the teller at the bank, um, just give me lots
At the dealer, I can’t pull this s*** off the lot
Me and my boys, you know that we sharin’ thots
I got n****s that be movin’ the tan rock

Erica Banks Bares Her Heart — And A Lot More — In Her Confessional, NSFW ‘Lyin Ass N****’ Video

by

Now that Erica Banks has gone independent — much like the rapper she most often gets compared to, Megan Thee Stallion — she’s on her own release schedule. That’s turned out to be a good thing for her, as the rate of releases has increased expeditiously; since dropping “Real Rap B*tch,” in which she aired out her and Meg’s former label, 1501, last July, the Dallas rapper has dropped new videos every couple of weeks while teaming up with fellow up-and-coming stars K Carbon and Gloss Up along with way.

Her latest single, “Lyin Ass N***,” shows off just how much her songwriting skills have matured in even that short span. A confessional ballad, the song finds Banks questioning a noncommital gentleman caller (i.e. a f*ckboy) after their situationship takes a turn for the serious. “Why you ain’t tell me you wanted to f*ck? / Why you act like you wanna be serious?” she wonders. “I was cool with a drink and a nut / Fell for your sh*t, now I’m missin’ my period.”

The video, though, shows off much more than Banks’ vulnerabilities as she raps to the camera in a hotel room wearing a lingerie set that leaves very little to the imagination. The “Buss It” rapper is clearly proud of her assets but the message here is clearly something along the lines of “look at what you’re missing out on, stupid.”

The Detroit Pistons Will Brighten Their Terrible Season With Limited-Edition J Dilla Merch Designed By Royce Da 5’9

The Detroit Pistons‘ 2023-2024 NBA campaign has admittedly not been going well so far. The Motor City basketball club currently has a 9-52 record — good for one of the worst in the NBA’s 78-year history.

They do have one bright spot to look forward to, however. On March 13 — aka 313 Day, a nod to the city’s phone area code — the team will unveil a new merch collection honoring one of Detroit’s favorite sons, the late, great J Dilla. Curated by Dilla’s fellow Motown hip-hop powerhouse Royce Da 5’9, the collection will be available exclusively through the team store at Little Caesars Arena and on Pistons313Shop.com.

The collection will consist of six pieces (with an additional four online), featuring the Pistons’ logo, remixed as a donut in a nod to Dilla’s game-changing 2006 instrumental album Donuts and bearing J Dilla in place of the Pistons’ name. There will also be pieces featuring a patch reading “Welcome To Detroit,” the title of Dilla’s debut solo album, with the donut shop from the Donuts alternative cover.

The whole concept is very cool and very well executed. Y’all know your boy is a Clippers fan and I’m still probably going to log in the day of release to secure that hat (also, please take notes, Mr. Ballmer. Nipsey Day could easily be a thing at Intuit Dome).

In the press release, Royce said of the collab, “When designing the capsule for the J. Dilla Pistons partnership, our aim was to honor Dilla’s essence. Our interpretation of the iconic “Donuts” album cover was pivotal to the collection, as the album holds significant historical importance within hip-hop circles.”

Future’s New Lanvin Lab Clothing Line Is A “Tribute To Classic Streetwear”

by

Back in 2023, Future teamed up with Paris-based luxury fashion house Lanvin to drop his first clothing collection under Lanvin Lab. The hitmaker designed all the pieces for the collection. At the time, he admitted that he had been a fan of the brand for some time. He also revealed that he always aspired to try his hand at fashion design. The unisex ready-to-wear line “emphasizes Future’s love of layering and tailoring, with an impressive flair for accessories,” according to the brand.

Now, still hot off of the success of the first collection, Lanvin Lab has unveiled Future’s second clothing line in collaboration with the fashion house. The drop includes pieces like hoodies, sweatpants, t-shirts, and more. It also includes various accessories, including sunglasses, hats, and even a luxury silk travel kit. According to Lanvin’s latest social media posts about the collection, it “combines vintage references, modern sensibilities and impeccable craftsmanship for a playful and unapologetic celebration of color, culture and creativity.”

Fans are certainly glad to see Future branching out with yet another clothing collection. It’s not the only non-musical endeavor he’s got planned for 2024, however. At the beginning of January, the hitmaker took to Twitter/X to announce that he’ll be launching a new management company this year. “New year – New ventures,” he revealed. “Starting my new management company 2024.” What do you think of Future launching his second clothing collection under Lanvin Lab?

Former NFL Star Braylon Edwards Praised For Stopping Attempted Murder

by

Police in Detroit have praised former third-overall NFL pick Braylon Edwards for intervening in an attempted murder at a YCMA. Edwards was in the locker room last Friday when he heard an elderly man arguing with several younger men about their music. After the altercation turned physical, Edwards stepped in. “And then I see the guy for what I was thinking was reaching for a phone underneath the victim grabs the back of the victim’s head by the hair. And he was about to slam it down on the counter,” Edwards told local media.

Speaking after officers arrived at the scene, Framingham Hills police chief Jeff King said that Edwards “absolutely” saved the man’s life. A 20-year-old man has been charged with attempted murder as a result of the incident. When asked why he intervened, Edwards said “That’s just what you do.” Edwards played eight years in the NFL and is a beloved alum of Michigan.

Elsewhere, the Ravens’ Mark Andrew was also credited with saving a life recently. During a flight from Baltimore to Phoenix, an unidentified woman suffered a medical emergency and became unresponsive. As onboard medical personnel feared the worst, unable to find a consistent pulse, Andrews offered the use of his diabetes testing kit. With the use of the kit, flight staff were able to stabilize the woman’s heart until the flight could land. The was first made public by Baltimore resident Andrew Springs, who was also on the flight.

However, Andrews has waived off any hero labels for himself. “In addition to the fast-acting flight attendants, the real heroes are the nurse and doctor who also happened to be on the flight. Thankfully they were able to provide the woman the quick assistance she needed,” Andrews said via a statement released by the Ravens.
