Adam Silver Cracks Joke About Ja Morant Gun Incident

On June 8, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver made an appearance on The Dan Patrick Show. Unsurprisingly, Ja Morant was a central point of conversation during the interview. It came just days after representatives claimed that the gun Morant was seen with on May 13 was fake. However, Silver was quick to shut down any debate about the authenticity of the gun.

“It’s interesting,” Silver said. “The very issue for Ja, certainly in the first incident, was treating a gun as a toy. That’s what we’re talking about and that’s what I think the danger is to society. Taking a gun, live streaming it without getting into gun issues in terms of the propriety of owning guns and the use of guns. I think everyone agrees that gun safety is critically important and that guns aren’t toys. “It’s something that I’m thinking a lot about because, again, I’m not going to get into specifics about the investigation. But in fact, if you’re live streaming something to the world that looks exactly like a gun and in a frankly reckless manner, should it matter whether or not it’s a real gun?.” However, that’s not all Silver had to say about Morant.

Silver Makes Joke About Morant

Toward the end of the interview, Silver made a not-so-subtle dig at Morant. After Patrick said he was going to get Adam Sandler to do an anti-carrying PSA for the league, Silver commented that it could carry a “double meaning”. If the dig wasn’t clear enough, Patrick tore down the veil completely as he agreed with Silver. “Yeah absolutely, the Ja Morant Anti-Carrying Policy,” Patrick said.

It was something of a surprising comment from the usually reserved NBA Commissioner. However, reactions to his comments were fairly muted on social media. Instead, people were more annoyed that he chose not to reveal Morant’s punishment only to go on a media tour essentially hyping up the punishment. However, with another interview out of the way, it’s just another day closer to actually learning what the NBA has in store for Morant. Follow all the latest sports news here at HotNewHipHop.

50 Cent Laughs Off Ex Chelsea Handler’s Anal Sex Joke About Him

One way to consistently keep 50 Cent on your side is to match his level of comedy, and his ex Chelsea Handler certainly knows a thing or two about that. Moreover, she recently made a funny anecdote about anal sex during one of her stand-up comedy routines that referenced the G-Unit mogul. Even though it’s been a long time since the two dated, it’s clear that 50 cares more about people’s comedy chops than getting his feelings hurt or being embarrassed. Maybe all former couples should strive for that level of amicability- or try to avoid making lewd jokes about each other. From these two comedians, though, professional or otherwise, that seems like a hard sell.

“Anal sex is not just for homosexual men anymore, okay?” Chelsea Handler started her bit. “Ladies and gentlemen, it’s trending. And don’t knock it until you try it. You might f***ing like it. It’s a big pill to swallow in the beginning but when you warm up to the idea, and you pick the right candidate, you know…small or medium, you’re not going to do that with, like, 50 Cent. You want to pick the right candidate.” Then, he reposted the clip on Sunday (May 21) with some thoughts. “Yo she is so crazy, @chelseahandler is hand down the funniest. LOL.”

50 Cent Is Very Amused With Chelsea Handler’s Stand-Up

For those unaware, the two apparently had a short affair around 2012, which ended after 50 Cent’s ex Ciara said she still had feelings for him. According to her Howard Stern interview, she called him “the worst thing you could say to a black person, short of calling him the n-word” to sever ties. While the rapper never responded, the bad blood vanished, as just two year later he posted a picture of them together. “I think Chelsea turns me on because she crazier then me lol,” he wrote in its caption.

Meanwhile, the two have kept up a pretty nice relationship over the years since, albeit with some caveats. For example, Handler blasted the 47-year-old for his support of Trump in 2020, saying he was no longer her favorite ex-boyfriend. Apparently, it resulted in him changing his mind, so there’s clearly a lot of power to her words. It’s nice to see Fif go back and forth with someone who understands how he presents himself, too. Regardless, stick around on HNHH for more on Chelsea Handler and the latest news from 50 Cent.

50 Cent Jokingly Dissed By Lil Nas X

Lil Nas X just jokingly dissed 50 Cent on Twitter, and responses clapped back so much that he muted the conversation. Moreover, he responded to a tweet with a cheeky and jesting message (in typical fashion), delivered briefly to his audience of 8 million followers. Furthermore, the tweet in question was a picture of both 50 and Nas X, basically comparing “rappers then” to “rappers now.” Not only that, but the user who posted the meme-like comparison said they saw it as a downfall for the genre. Then, the “INDUSTRY BABY” responded with a light jab at 50, but one that clearly aimed more at people who take offense to his claims that he’s better.

“This is not fair youre comparing a legend who has changed music forever to 50 cent,” he wrote. At the time of writing this article, the Queens legend hasn’t addressed or responded to either of these messages. Shortly after publishing them, though, the MONTERO rapper posted a screenshot of him muting the conversation for that tweet. As such, he probably got too much hate in his comments section and decided this time to just ignore it rather than clap back at it with a funny tweet like he usually does.

Lil Nas X Throws Some Funny Shade At 50 Cent

All that said, to see 50 respond to the Georgia-born artist would be interesting, to say the least, as he could go ay direction with it. Much like the “In Da Club” rapper himself, Nas X also likes to stir the pot and cause a ruckus online for his words and takes. However, some of that behavior turned damaging earlier this week. Moreover, his tweet about “gays in Africa” caught a lot of fire, primarily because it came soon after sweeping anti-LGBTQIA+ laws passed in Uganda.

With that in mind, if this actually becomes a feud and doesn’t land as the joke it is, things might get ugly. After all, 50’s no stranger to controversy himself, and has a fanbase as passionate and as numerous as Lil Nas X’s to this day. Sure, many could debate that last point either way, but they really do represent two different sides of hip-hop. Hopefully they remember that just because they’re not the same doesn’t mean they have to oppose each other. Or at the very least, they can make some good meme-worthy content out of this. Regardless, stick around on HNHH for the latest news and updates on Lil Nas X and 50 Cent.

Beyoncé & Jay-Z Crack Up At Paparazzi Joke While Leaving Dinner

Beyoncé and Jay-Z recently went out for dinner, and a paparazzi actually made them crack up at a joke. Moreover, the star couple went to Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica, California, and The Hollywood Fix uploaded a small clip of their exit into their vehicle. While white lights flashed and the two artists walked quietly and calmly to their car, one paparazzi had to pipe up. “Beyoncé!” they yelled out to the couple. Then, they said “B to the A! I mean, B to the C- whatever.” Furthermore, at that moment, you can hear both celebrities laugh softly at the poor photographer.

“Take care, Beyoncé,” they added. “I love you. You run the world remember that,” and you can slightly hear the singer thank him. After all, they’re not wrong. Moreover, she had an incredibly successful past year, marked by her album RENAISSANCE and the announcement of a world tour. In fact, she received so much praise and acclaim that even a Grammy nomination feels moot. When she lost the Album of the Year award to Harry Styles’ Harry’s House, fans on social media reacted in rage.

Still, her husband isn’t making a huge fuss of it. “I remove myself from the process and hope they just get it right,” he remarked about the Recording Academy’s choices. “It got to the point where I was like, it’s just a marketing thing. You go, you got an album out and it could help the sales go up.” Of course, RENAISSANCE hardly needs a promotional or streaming boost, but the sentiment is there. After all, the most awarded Grammy rapper (tied with Kanye West) knows a thing or two about the ceremony. However, he still stood by why he felt the album deserved to win.

Look what it’s done to the culture,” he expressed. “Look how the energy of the world moved. They play her whole album in the club. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen that. The whole entire joint — like, everything?! Every remix is amazing. Everyone’s inspired. It has inspired the world. Every remix is better than the other one. From anybody, we’re just finding these joints out in the street… It’s inspiring creativity.

“You know how The Black Album had The Grey Album [Danger Mouse’s 2004 mashup project]?” he continued. “And the one with Radiohead? It was called Jaydiohead [Minty Fresh Beats’ 2009 mashup]. When it just inspires creativity, that’s an album. That has to be Album Of The Year. It has to be.” Regardless of your take, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest on Beyoncé, Jay-Z, and paparazzi comedians.
