by

Tyrese Gibson has sparked outrage amongst his fans after saying he wished he was “born Latino”. Gibson argued that the “Latin community is grounded in family, loyal, enterupenuers, businessmen, and women literally represent the dream. The grind and hustle, doing whatever it takes to stick together despite the odds.” Furthermore, it feels as those Tyrese is once again lamented about the breakdown of his marriage last year.

As mentioned, fans were not having this. “It’s Black History Month. 😒Use your black lips and do us all a favor and shut up. Thanks,” one person wrote. “Sometimes I wish Black folks actually went to see the hardworking Black people and families all over the country. So many of us are not in LA or Hollywood or highlighted on social media,” added another.

Samantha Lee’s Joe Budden Interview Has Tyrese Demanding She Change Her Name & Claiming He’s Losing Out On Sex

As mentioned, Tyrese has been struggling to overcome the breakdown of his marriage last year. He explosively responded to the interview his ex-wife gave to Joe Budden in November. She wants to be famous, she wants the clout. She had a whole baby and faked a whole marriage to get the BAG. 3 law firms later. Just hear her out guys. Please. Zelie and I are over here decorating this tree and trying to take advantage of these cyber Monday sales to come. Swipe left and just know whoever this person is. She hates my guts and yet her drivers license still says Gibson. Can you please run me my last name back? Soraya can keep it that our angel. Your trash ass birth name is Samantha Schwalenberg,” Tyrese ranted as he reposted a clip from the interview.

Furthermore, Tyrese claimed that the interview has affected his relationship with his current partner. “The Joe Budden podcast is now causing havoc in my house. My girl is mad at me about the podcast and after five months, she pulled out the vibrator and used it last night,” Tyrese claimed in a separate post. However, this one was met with a fair amount of backlash. Even Tyrese’s fans weren’t happy that he would put his partner on blast like that for nothing but clout.

Biden-Harris 2024 Releases ‘La Diferencia’ Ad Targeting Latino Voters

Biden-Harris 2024 Releases 'La Diferencia' Targeting Latino Voters

In response to the second RNC debate in Simi Valley, CA, Biden-Harris 2024 unveiled its third campaign ad, “The Difference” or “La Diferencia,” focusing on the Democratic Party’s commitment to Latino Americans. This ad aims to highlight the contrast between Republicans’ promises and President Biden’s historic investments in improving the quality of life for Latinos.

The narrator in the ad emphasizes that actions speak louder than words, with some politicians merely talking while others, like President Biden, take concrete steps. During his first term, President Biden’s economic agenda achieved record-low Latino unemployment, supported Latino small businesses, and reduced costs for Latino families while increasing access to affordable health insurance.

While MAGA Republicans are portrayed as favoring the wealthy, President Biden’s approach prioritizes the middle class. It emphasizes rebuilding the economy from the bottom up and the middle out rather than the top down.

“Republicans talk a lot of game, but Joe Biden actually delivers for Latinos,” said Maca Casado, Biden-Harris 2024 Hispanic Media Director. “That’s the difference and that’s the choice Latinos will face in November 2024: between an agenda that is lowering costs and investing in Latino communities and their businesses, and MAGA Republicans whose platform only serves the wealthy and powerful. President Biden’s campaign knows Latinos’ political power and is investing early and aggressively to make his case because we won’t take their votes for granted.”

“La Diferencia” is part of a $25 million ad campaign by Team Biden-Harris and will be broadcast in English and Spanish across battleground states: Arizona, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina, and Wisconsin. The ad will also air in Spanish on a Univision simulcast of the Republican debate.

Fat Joe Stirs Debate, Claiming Blacks and Latinos Equally Responsible for Evolution of Hip-Hop

Fat Joe

Fat Joe has been a prominent fixture in the hip-hop community for over two decades now, but recently he stirred up debate online when he claimed that hip-hop was created “half and half” by blacks and Latinos.

On Friday, he took to Instagram with a 45-second clip meant to celebrate the contributions of Latino artists, DJs, and groups who contributed to the hip-hop genre over the years including the Mean Machine, DJ Junebug, DJ Disco Wiz, and more. He captioned the clip “Thank you for your contribution to HIP HOP.”

The post, which appeared to be positive in nature and celebrated the contributions of the artists, was largely met with praise and positive feedback. However, some criticized Fat Joe in the comments.

On Saturday, Fat Joe went live on Instagram live to promote DJ Khaled‘s upcoming album, God Did. About 50 minutes into the session, Fat Joe addresses some of the backlash that he appeared to be receiving in the comments section. 

The Bronx native noted that people had been questioning Latinos’ place in rap and the hip-hop culture.

He said that he recently had gone on Twitter where people had been talking about how “Latinos wasn’t in rap….this and that….these guys are f***ing delusional.”

He continued: “We from the Bronx, New York, sh** happens, it’s where hip-hop started. It’s Latino and black, half and half. But they’re going at me because I’m the only Spanish dude like really with a big voice.”

He imitated someone typing on a keyboard, saying “Latinos wasn’t there, you wasn’t invited, you are a specimen, I don’t know what is up with these people? They don’t know their facts.”

Twitter and Instagram users appeared to be divided, with some saying that the Latino culture did indeed have a presence in hip-hop while others called Fat Joe and DJ Khaled “culture vultures.”
