Corey Holcomb Unleashes Unhinged Rant About Shannon Sharpe And Lil Rel

by

Corey Holcomb delivered a manic five-minute set about a host of prominent Black media figures during a recent appearance on the 5150 Show. His first target was Lil Rel Howery, who he accused of “buying b-tches”. Specifically, Halcomb accused Lil Rel of “buying a b-tch at the Beyonce show”, referring to Lil Rel’s proposal to his now-fiancee at a RENAISSANCE Tour concert last year.

However, oalcomb also went after Shannon Sharpe again. Holcomb leapt on the notion that Sharpe was “trapped in the Gaytrix”, as suggested by one of the show’s hosts. Previously, Holcomb went after Sharpe for hosting “fruit booties” on Club Shay Shay. However, Holcomb is not the only person to allege that Sharpe is secretly queer. Antonio Brown called Sharpe a “rainbow” while going after the Hall of Famer for his criticisms of Lamar Jackson.

Shannon Sharpe Claims Katt Williams Interview Made Him More Money Than Any Year Of His NFL Career

Elsewhere, Sharpe recently claimed that he made more money from his Katt Williams interview than any single year of his NFL career. The Club Shay Shay interview made at least $113,000 from YouTube AdSense and that’s before adding in additional exposure, sponsorships, and onward revenue. The most that Sharpe made in a single season in the NFL was in 2000 when he made $5M. Despite Sharpe’s Hall of Famer career, both his sixth-round draft pick status and inflation must be taken into account.

Meanwhile, Sharpe defended himself against criticism stemming from his now-viral interview with Williams. “I never said I was a journalist. I am not an interviewer. What I always say at the start of my show is that the person who is coming on the show is coming over for a conversation and a drink. I’m a conversationalist,” Sharpe explained to his Nightcap co-host Chad Johnson. Furthermore, Sharpe noted that his show gets the big-name guests that it does because Sharpe offers a “safe space” for them to come and talk.

The producers are Baig and Joe Pirro. Serving as executive producers are  Jeff Skoll and Anikah McLaren for Participant – they’re a Big Deal and James Schamus for Symbolic Exchange, along with Carrie Holt de Lama and Smollett.

Lil Rel Howery Thanks Beyonce For Saving His Renaissance Tour Concert Proposal

by

Comedian Lil Rel Howery got engaged this week to long-time girlfriend Dannella Lane. The venue he chose for this very special moment was the Beyoncé Renaissance World Tour concert at SoFi Stadium on September 4. However, while speaking with TMZ, he revealed that things could have gone horribly wrong if not for the efforts of Beyoncé herself. Turns out that Lil Rel was waiting for “Love On Top”, as Tina Knowles has suggested it was the perfect song to propose to. In fact, Knowles made the arrangements to capture the proposal on the jumbotron.

However, the song was later in the setlist than Lil Rel was expecting and as misfortune would have it, “Love on Top” would begin playing as soon as Lil Rel reached the men’s bathroom. After doing what he needed to do, he attempted to make it back to his seat, only to realize he had gotten lost. After several minutes, with “Love on Top” (4:27 in length) still miraculously playing, Lil Rel made it back to his seat. He found his confused girlfriend waiting along with a cameraman and a slightly annoyed Beyoncé, who had been stalling for time during the song.

Beyonce Continues To Stun On Renaissance Tour

Plenty of famous faces as well as Lil Rel have been popping up on the Renaissance Tour as it travels the West Coast. Keke Palmer and Darius Jackson were a surprising celebrity spot, given that most people assumed that they had broken up after Jackson spectacularly fumbled the bag after shaming Palmer for a previous concert outfit. Guess that isn’t the case and Jackson remains perhaps the luckiest man alive.

Speaking of relationship drama, turns out that Travis Scott had some of his own. Scott recently recruited Beyoncé for “Delresto (Echoes)” on his new album UTOPIA. However, he was simply an audience member while attending one of Beyoncé’s LA shows. Turns out that Scott was in attendance at the same show as his ex, Kylie Jenner. Jenner was in attendance with her new beau, actor Timothée Chalamet. Despite this, Scott does not appear to have run into the couple. That may be for the best as UTOPIA also featured the track “Meltdown”, which explicitly contained disses against the new couple.
