MGK Is Convinced ‘Other White People’ Give Him ‘The Most Sh*t’ About His Hip-Hop Origins

Before he was known for dating Megan Fox, singing John Denver covers, giving himself realistic fangs, Cleveland, Ohio rocker was better known for an extended rap career that culminated in a vitriolic back-and-forth with Eminem. Departures into rock and country aside, it’s a career he maintains he never turned his back on (with a few recent singles to prove it).

In fact, in a new interview, he assigns blame for his treatment by the public to his hip-hop origins, asserting that he’s stigmatized as a white rapper — but mostly by other white people. On Logan Paul’s Impaulsive podcast, MGK told the internet troll turned part-time WWE superstar, “I won’t deny that there is a subconscious stigma around that — being white in hip-hop. To me, it’s so funny because the streets f*ck with me so tough. It’s honestly from other white people that give me the most sh*t.”

He also has a bit of a theory about why that might be — and it connects to that battle with fellow white rapper Eminem. “The crazy thing is there’s only been one who’s done it,” he said of dissing the hip-hop legend, who has been considered something of a North Star for other white rappers like Jack Harlow, Mac Miller, and Russ. “There’s only been one who’s done it and crossed that line of acceptance.”

You can watch the full episode above; the conversation about hip-hop begins at the 37-minute mark.

Machine Gun Kelly Says Sean Strickland Is Just Not His ‘Type Of Guy’ After Rattling Off A Few Damning Accusations

Sean Strickland is in for the fight of his life, and it doesn’t involve a UFC octagon. Today (August 27), Machine Gun Kelly delivered a few blows to the former champion’s public image.

During the “Lonely Road” rapper’s appearance on the Impaulsive podcast, MGK let loose on Strickland.

When host Logan Paul brought Strickland up, MGK took a moment to clap back at him following the remarks he made about him, his seemingly former fiancée Megan Fox, and her children last week (August 20) on the Verse Us With Eric Nicksick podcast.

“I don’t know this guy from a crumb of bread,” he said. “I didn’t know who he was when I met him. I got hip afterward that he’s insanely racist and homophobic and just not my type of guy, so I would have never wanted to shake his hand in the first place. If you’re comfortable as yourself, you don’t care who anybody else is and how they are.”

But that was just the start of his unloading, as he straight demanded that Strickland: “Shut the f*ck up.”

However, MGK made it clear that always he wants Strickland to lay off, he’s not done with the matter just yet. “Don’t speak on me anymore and live your life,” he said. “But you won’t, and I’m going to continue laughing at you because you’re a f*cking idiot.”

Yes, MGK is known for being a wild boy. But, in this case, it appears he’s just finishing what Strickland started. If you know anything about is back-and-forth with Eminem, MGK has proven to have amazing stamina when it comes to beefs.

Kevin Durant Hilariously Creeped Out By IShowSpeed’s Loving Gaze

Kevin Durant is easily one of the best NBA players of all time. Overall, his scoring prowess speaks for itself and he has certainly accomplished a lot during his 18 years in the league. As it stands, Durant plays for the Phoenix Suns, who are in a bit of a predicament. They have a big three of him, Bradley Beal, and Devin Booker. However, they currently lack depth and they don’t have any money to spend. Regardless, they are confident they can put it all together next season.

Recently, Durant got to sit down with Logan Paul for an interview on his show ImPaulsive. Durant is easily one of the most esteemed guests Logan has ever had on, and it was all filmed on location. Moreover, popular streamer IShowSpeed got to join in on all of the fun.

The interview with Logan Paul comes after Trump was found guilty on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in the first degree. “It’s not hush money. It’s a nondisclosure agreement, totally legal, totally common,” he said afterward. “If they can do this to me, they can do this to anyone.” Biden reacted to the verdict by describing it as a reminder that “no one is above the law.” “This jury was chosen the same way every jury in America has been chosen,” Biden said. “It was a process that Donald Trump’s attorney was part of. The jury heard five weeks of evidence — five weeks — and after careful deliberation, the jury reached a unanimous verdict.”

Akon Says The Key To Staying Rich Is To “Stay Stingy”

Akon is sharing the keys to staying wealthy. The music mogul recently revealed in an interview with Logan Paul, that he has several methods to maintain his financial status. One of the key principles he says he practices is frugality. In addition, in contrast to many of his peers, he refrains from owning a private jet. “Listen, you want to stay rich? Stay stingy,” Akon said on the IMPAULSIVE podcast. “I’m the stingiest muthaf***a on the planet. Any person of my caliber is not flying commercial. These dudes is flying jets all day. I attempted to own a jet. That shit lasted six months. I sold that muthaf***a so fast. You have no idea [of upkeep costs]. I promise you.”

Akon elaborated further, suggesting an alternative approach. He emphasized that the annual expenses on a jet due to maintenance were simply not worth it. A different strategy he explained would be more cost effective in the long run. “Buy some hours and use it only when necessary,” he continued. “And most of the time, use it as a way of negotiation. Let that be a part of your strategy to the money. But whatever you do, do not own a jet. Bro, owning a jet is spending at least $2-3million a year just on upkeep. You spend more on the maintenance than the actual jet costs.”

Akon Breaks Down Tips To Preserve Wealth

Akon emphasized the importance of treating one’s money as a lifelong resource, arguing that adopting this viewpoint would have a lasting effect on how people manage their finances. Another way the “Locked Up” hitmaker apparently saves his hard-earned cash, is to avoid spending money on designer items. In July of this year, Akon appeared on an episode of Drink Champs rocking a black-and-white jacket. However, fans took notice that the fit he was rocking was alleged to be fake Dior. Rapper Symba roasted Akon for his outfit choice, calling him out on his IG story: “That b**ch say ‘Di Rio.’ I thought that was a Dior,” he laughed. “That n**ga say Di Rio. That n**ga Akon out of pocket. I fuck with my n**ga Akon, but this n**ga’s out of pocket. Di Rio.”

Following this, Akon faced mild criticism from numerous industry figures and fans. French Montana, in particular, shared a video on Instagram, showing him spending time with Akon and humorously inquiring about the source of his imitation black-and-white Dior jacket. “The Drio came from one of my Africans,” Akon told French Montana. “I’m always supporting my Africans. We go hard for each other. I knew that was gon’ raise engagement. It only takes one person to notice, and it’s gon’ go crazy on the internet and it did exactly what we wanted it to do.” In conclusion, Akon’s insights on finance and his decision to “stay stingy” definitely challenges conventional thinking in an industry known for bling and extravagance.

Ice Cube Addresses Rumor That Suge Knight Killed Eazy-E

Ice Cube shot down the conspiracy theory that Suge Knight injected Eazy-E with the AIDS that killed him in 1995. The legendary N.W.A. rapper discussed the idea during an appearance on Logan Paul’s Impaulsive podcast. Co-host Mike Majlak was the one to bring up the theory.

“How would [Suge] do that?” Cube asked. “And Eazy would never tell anybody that?” Majlak answered: “No, I mean, Eazy didn’t even know. ‘Cause you just poke somebody, like, and they don’t even know. Maybe they were at a club or some shit.”

Cube didn’t back down on his skepticism: “Nah, I think if somebody poke you with one of them goddamn needles, you know. You know. I mean, I’m just saying… just say this happened, Eazy would tell somebody, ‘This muthafucka poked me with some shit!’ Now, if he was unconscious and — I don’t know. It’s like… I don’t know. It just sounds… um… if Eazy would have known he got poked, he would’ve said something. If he didn’t know he got poked, then the conspiracy lives on.”

When asked whether he would put it past Knight to do something so despicable, he did admit, “I don’t put shit past nobody.” Elsewhere in the interview, Cube discusses Kevin Hart owing him money, Kendrick Lamar carrying West Coast hip-hop, the Lakers’ chances to win another NBA championship with LeBron James, 2Pac & Biggie’s impact on hip-hop, and more. Check out his appearance on the Impaulsive podcast below.

Ice Cube On The Death Of Eazy-E

Eazy-E passed away at just 31 years old on March 26, 1995, due to AIDS-induced pneumonia. He had been hospitalized weeks earlier with a violent cough that resulted in his diagnosis. Eazy-E only announced his illness to the public days before his death.

Kevin Hart Gives Ice Cube His Flowers

Kevin Hart was the most recent guest on Logan Paul’s Impaulsive podcast, and it of course ensued with some hilarity. However, the actor put the jokes slightly aside for a second to talk about rapper, actor, and multi-hyphenate pop culture icon Ice Cube and their relationship. Moreover, Hart expressed a lot of admiration for the West Coast legend, which actually had nothing to do with his accolades and industry experience. Instead, he chose to focus on his good-natured spirit and his on-set professionalism. Overall, it seems like the Ride Along co-stars are quite the dynamic duo, even if Cube apparently didn’t return the sentiment.

“Cube might be one of the most genuine, kindest spirits that you can be around,” Kevin Hart said of Ice Cube. “He wants nothing but good for other people. He loves to see the people around him succeed- he’s such a creative mind. That’s all he does. He loves the foundation of creativity and is one of the most professional people I’ve worked with on set.” Still, the podcast hosts joked that the N.W.A. pioneer might not be rocking with him in the same way.

Kevin Hart Praises Ice Cube On Impaulsive

“He did not talk about you like that,” they told Kevin Hart. “It was the complete opposite.” Despite the pushback, the comedian did not let that take away from his testimony or from their close ties. “Yeah, it’s gotta be the interview,” he theorized, saying that they must not have been “good” questions if they led Ice Cube down that path. In addition, the podcasters asked Hart whether his evolving friendship with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson somehow affected his relationship with the “Check Yo Self” rapper.

“This is ridiculous,” Hart laughed off. “What are you talking about? Cube is one of my best friends in the business- everybody knows that. Everybody knows that about me and Cube.” Meanwhile, another rap star in the Night School actor’s corner is Method Man, who he recently interviewed. They actually spoke at length on mental health, particularly Mef’s, in what came out to be an enlightening conversation. For more news on Kevin Hart and the latest updates on Ice Cube, stay posted on HNHH.

Logic Says He Recorded ‘Vinyl Days’ In 12 Days In Order To Fulfill His Deal With Def Jam

Logic‘s latest album, Vinyl Days, marks the end of an eight-year journey with Def Jam. In a recent episode of Logan Paul’s Impaulsive podcast, the rapper detailed the creative process behind the album. Most notably, he shared that the album was recorded in less than two weeks.

“I made that album in 12 days so I could get off Def Jam,” he revealed. “That’s my favorite part — I’m off Def Jam. I made that album so I could leave, and guess what? I left them with some of the dopest sh*t I could give them. It’s not like I just wiped my ass. What am I excited about? I’m excited to be independent, I’m excited to do my thing.”

As a newly independent artist, Logic is looking forward to making music without having to deal with any of the politics of a major label. Although it seems he couldn’t wait to put Def Jam behind him, Logic insists that there is no bad between him and the iconic hip-hop label.

“I’m really happy to know that I represented and low-key was the face of the label — one of the illest hip-hop labels of all time — and that I sold millions and millions of records and gave them billions and billions of streams,” he said, “and that it was a good partnership. And I couldn’t be happier to get the f*ck out.”
