One user on Twitter wrote: “Jay Z has 2.5 billion dollars, his cousin asked for 4800 and he said no. To put that into perspective, that’d be the equivalent of someone who made 50,000 a year being asked to give a dime.” Another defended him: “The problem is once you say yes that first time, they always think they can come back to you for more. And it also makes the people around them feel more comfortable asking as well. They become dependent and it’s a very slippery slope.” Check out JAY-Z’s explanation of the situation below.

Tom Brady And Travis Scott Surprise Fans At Trading Card Event

Tom Brady, Travis Scott, and Kevin Hart served as surprise guests at the Topps and Fanatics Rip Night in Linwood, New Jersey this weekend. Meanwhile, the trading card event was shocked to have such big-name guests. Furthermore, this caused the parking lot to become flooded with fans as the store only had a capacity of 100. Brady embraced the nature of the event, trading cards with fans and kids in attendance.

“This was incredible. Unreal. I did not expect the turnout. We were notified on short notice. We talked to the kids and got them involved. The smiles on these kids’ faces. The experience of trading their own cards with an athlete and celebrity is an experience they’ll probably never have again,” store owner Jon Riffle told TMZ. Furthermore, Fanatics CEO Michael Rubin also attended the event.

Because of this, the basketball star thought it would be funny to tease the host by having him try on a Celtics jersey. However, it was not just any jersey, it was Tatum’s son Deuce’s custom paraphernalia. He is just five years old, but due to Kevin’s short stature, Tatum thought it would fit him. The comedian made a hilarious comment before trying it on, “Is this like a 2T?” The NBA player could not help but laugh and what made it funnier was him raising Kevin’s hand as parents do when they are dressing their young kids. He also teased the actor by saying, “I know how much you love the Celtics.” The show never disappoints as it always brings the laughs, but also a cool look at different sports figure’s careers.

Kevin Hart Injury Video Surfaces Online

Kevin Hart recently revealed that he is temporarily confined to a wheelchair after tearing several core muscles in recent weeks. “44 and sitting my ass down!!!!! I got to be the dumbest man alive!!!!! What the fuck am I doing???? I blew my shit….I’m done. FML,” Hart wrote on Instagram. However, Hart appeared humbled at the very least, stating that it was the stupidest thing he had done in his life. Furthermore, he went on to question why he had even tried, saying that he had been blinded by the desire to be the “fastest man at the BBQ.” He went on to say that the injury was a sign that he needed to “slow down” and “act his age.”

He later shared a more NSFW update about his condition. “It’s fucking bad. My dick looks like a thumb. Everything’s swollen,” Hart lamented in a follow-up video. Additionally, the comedian said that his “balls got big as hell” and that he is still currently unable to move his legs. Furthermore, he spoke on the state the injury has left him in. “Look at this shit,” he continued. “You know how long it takes me to get the fuck out of the car? I’m a mess.” While calling out his famous friends who have been clowning on him, Hart said he is looking at a six to week recovery time. However, footage of the incident that stuck him in the chair has been posted online.

Video Of Race Captures Moment Hart Gets Injured

It’s your classic sports injury. The video shows Hart running down a darkened residential street against Stevan Ridley, who played eight seasons in the NFL. Furthermore, at the 2011 combine, Ridley clocked a 4.65 40-yard dash. He was taken in the third round by the Patriots. As the two men race toward the camera, Hart pulls up early and hobbles through the final few yards of the race, clearly injured. It’s a scene we’ve seen countless times before on the gridiron, basketball court, and athletics track. However, that doesn’t lessen the pain or severity of what Hart is going through now.

Hart is well known for his dedication to fitness and this appears to simply be an unfortunate turn of events. Even the best athletes suffer injuries like this. Furthermore, Hart said as much while calling out the celebrities roasting him. “I’m getting all types of calls … from friends, athletes … everybody starts off the same … ‘What the fuck were you thinking, Kev? How you do that? Man, you’re supposed to be in shape. Bitch, I am in shape! This ain’t got nothing to do with being in shape!” However, we hope that he is able to recover quickly from this nasty turn of fortune.

Will Smith Shares His Mixed Feelings On His Family Finding Fame

Will Smith has always had a tumultuous journey with fame. While he himself skyrocketed to success as both an actor and a rapper in the 90s, he didn’t have a fully famous family until later on. According to Page Six, he sat down on a recent episode of Kevin Hart’s interview show Hart To Heart and discussed family matters. Smith referred to 2010 as his greatest year as both an artist and a parent. He cited Jaden’s film Karate Kid and Willow’s song “Whip My Hair” as major accomplishments that released in 2010. “I’m building this dream of a family I’ve had in my mind. I’m going to do it better than my father did it.” Smith says on the show.

Pretty much 2010 to 2012 I had achieved everything I had ever dreamed,” Will Smith elaborated. Despite how successful he felt for himself and his family he also admits it didn’t make them happier. “Nobody in my family was happy,” he explains later in the show. He compared the family’s fame to a “platoon” and decried that eventually, nobody wanted to be a part of it. “Willow was the first one to begin the mutiny and it was my first realization that success and money don’t mean happiness.” He concludes the interview reflecting on the lesson that taught him. “Up until that point, I really believed that you could succeed your way to a house and a family and you could win your way to happiness.”

Will Smith Opens Up On His Famous Family

Earlier this year Will Smith and Martin Lawrence took to social media to announce that Bad Boys 4 was officially coming. A few months later they were spotted filming some scenes for the movie in Atlanta. Unsurprisingly those shots featured mostly car chases and shootouts. Since then, new updates on the film’s progress have been pretty difficult to come by. Many have wondered if either of the ongoing strikes could impact its release.

What do you think of Will Smith opening up on his families issues with fame? Let us know in the comment section below.

J. Cole Revealed Some Left-Field — But Not Really Surprising — Rap Heroes In A Chat With Kevin Hart

J. Cole has long held a reputation as one of his generation’s foremost rap lyricists. In a recent interview with Kevin Hart, he revealed some of the influences that he used to develop the style that earned him that reputation. The list includes some unsurprising, obvious picks like Tupac, Jay-Z, Nas, Eminem, André 3000, and Lil Wayne, who he calls “the big bullets,” but then he also name-checks some left-field acts such as Royce Da 5’9 and Canibus.

J. Cole has gotten a lot of love from some of those names; early in his career, he signed with Jay-Z’s Roc Nation and got Nas’ attention with one of the songs on his second album. In 2018, he even got to collaborate with Royce Da 5’9 on the song “Boblo Boat.” He’s also gotten a lot of love from his peers and predecessors lately, as well. Rap legend Big Daddy Kane called J. Cole his hero in a recent interview, while Drake brought out J. Cole for a surprise performance during a stop on his It’s All A Blur Tour.

Cole has since paid that love forward. Elsewhere in his Kevin Hart interview, he declared, “I hate to say it almost ’cause it sounds like pandering, but I really do think, like, man, there’s a lot of fire female rappers. I feel like they’re doing some of the most exciting — commercially, they’re doing some of the most exciting [things]. They’re giving us a lot of fire moments. I feel like that’s something that wasn’t around when we was growing up. […] You always had one. Lil’ Kim, Foxy, Eve. There was always one, but there could never be more than one, almost, it felt like. Now, it’s like, bro, we getting moments and moments and moments. I think that’s hard.”
