Over the last 24 hours or so, the beloved and wholesome Twitch streamer Sketch has been going through it, to say the least. The Houston, Texas native’s past has come back to light and the internet has been stunned and divided since it has discovered some allegedly shocking evidence. Multiple photos circulating on X (formerly Twitter) reveal that Sketch was supposedly a same-sex OnlyFans creator. How these images became available still remains a mystery, but what is not is the fact that this was indeed his situation a couple of years ago. Sketch has been as open and honest as possible since this news has come out, even addressing it the same day.
“Yeah, that was me. I f***ed up — I won’t do it again”, he said. While OnlyFans and the adult film industry are frowned upon, it has not been easy to see Sketch feel ashamed for his decisions. A lot of people online have been ripping him apart, even though he explained that he had been struggling with addictions and his mental health. The Madden video game streamer was even considering ending it because of the possible backlash that comes with divulging in your sexuality as well. Thankfully, he the 25-year-old has a lot of the streaming community behind him.
As of recently, he can also add fellow Houston native and rapper Maxo Kream to that growing list. The veteran MC hopped on social media to support his “homie” and clap back at the people bullying him. “F*** that he came clean with whatever he did, that’s his sexual preference. I don’t judge nobody”, Kream said. “That’s my homie and I’m rockin’ behind him ya hear me? Y’all not gon’ bully my boy”. It was a very stand-up act by Maxo, and it is nice to see people rally around Sketch, who quite frankly spreads so much positive energy into the world.
What are your thoughts on Maxo Kream defending Sketch after the recent same-sex OnlyFans accusations? How do you feel about what the streamer went through a couple of years ago? Does this just go to show how solid of a person Sketch is? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments.

Even though he’s facing multiple lawsuits and accusations of sex trafficking, sexual assault, abuse, and more, Diddy is still having fun when he can. Moreover, he recently returned to Instagram after wiping his page to boast about traveling on a private jet, and he previously went white water rafting in Wyoming with some pals. Well, folks accusing the Bad Boy mogul of these crimes, whether their lawsuits wrapped up or not, are not happy about these actions in the face of controversy and accountability efforts. For example, Cassie’s lawyer Douglas Wigdor has reportedly issued a short statement responding to his recent movement.
“I don’t think white water rafting will prepare him for the choppy waters that lie ahead,” Wigdor reportedly told TMZ of Diddy’s travels. In addition this lines up with Ariel Mitchell-Kidd’s statement on the matter, who is representing Adria English in her sex trafficking lawsuit (among other things) against Sean Combs. “After seeing Defendant Combs white water rafting and jetting around on his personal plane, seemingly enjoying life despite all the atrocities he has caused and has been accused of by countless individuals over decades, Mrs. English is even more motivated to ensure justice prevails,” Mitchell-Kidd shared.
“Mrs. English and all the other Plaintiffs who filed lawsuits throughout the country against Defendant Combs are individuals with limited resources. [They fight] for [justice] after being marginalized, abused and exploited by a billionaire,” the attorney continued concerning Diddy. Of course, his legal team stands by his claims of innocence. “We live in a world where anyone can file a lawsuit for any reason and without any proof,” one of Puffy’s lawyers reportedly told TMZ. “Fortunately, a fair and impartial judicial process exists to find the truth and Mr. Combs is confident he will prevail against these and other baseless claims in court.”
Meanwhile, other rumors about Diddy’s nightclub shooting also emerged recently from one of the incident’s alleged victims. As for other lawsuits and accusations, things became relatively slow. After all, he still remains free and low-key, and no big charges or indictments came forward as of late to push things along. This is crucial for both accountability’s sake and for a fair trial, so hopefully these situations become more clear in due time.

WBC star Shakur Stevenson (22-0) took on Artem Harutyunyan (12-2) in the lightweight championship match over the weekend. It all went down in Newark, New Jersey at the Prudential Center and leading up to the fight, Stevenson was quite the favorite. If you are a boxing aficionado, then you know that he is more of a defensive boxer. Because of this more elusive approach, viewers of the sport are not too fond of him overall. At the end of the day, you can either hate the player or hate the game because it has worked swimmingly. Stevenson went onto defeat Harutyunyan by judge’s decision to keep his WBC lightweight belt.
One person who caught the action, was former rapper and co-host of It Is What It Is, Ma$e. Like many boxing watchers, the New York/Florida native is also not too impressed with Stevenson and the way he won. On his immensely popular and unfiltered sports talk show, Ma$e strongly expressed that he does not want to see him box. He cited the people Stevenson learns from and based on their techniques, Ma$e does not understand why the athlete is so different. “For him to be hanging out with Terence Crawford and Andre Ward, there is absolutely no way that he’s fighting the way he’s fighting”.
Well, according to AllHipHop, the champion saw this clip and he went nuclear on the podcaster on X. “Same way I felt bout his rap career n**** more famous for his podcast then his failed career”, Stevenson began. However, the It Is What It Is Instagram page had their guy’s back and responded, “3 MONTHS AFTER YOU WERE BORN #MURDA DROPPED HIS FIRST ALBUM & SOLD 5 MILLION COPIES & WENT QUADRUPLE PLATINUM BEFORE SOCIAL MEDIA #FACTS WE JUST CALLING IT HOW EVERYBODY ELSE SEE IT ”. Stevenson continued to pile on, calling Ma$e a “d*ke”, “a fake pastor”, a “Surviving Diddy a** n****”, and many more derogatory names. You can see more of the rant below.
What are your thoughts on Shakur Stevenson going off on Ma$e for critiquing his boxing match? Do you think both were in the right in terms of how they went about their back and forth? Do you share the same sentiment as Ma$e? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments.

NBA YoungBoy is currently dealing with a controversial arrest for alleged prescription drug fraud, but his friends are apparently getting into other antics in the meantime to make matters more spicy. Moreover, a group of his alleged Never Broke Again crew members saw a bizarre surprise at a Walmart last month in the form of popular YouTube prankster XvsWorld. He appeared in a Spider-Man costume and tried to get their attention in the aisles until one of the men pulled a gun on him. This man is YB’s alleged brother Ken, and despite some of his friends’ laughs, he didn’t appreciate being interrupted while on the phone.
“My n***a, stop playing with me, b***h,” YoungBoy’s brother reportedly told the YouTuber. “Like, real s**t. I’ll blow you down in that costume. I’m not playing with you, b***h. Stop talking to me, bruh. I know it’s a prank, n***a, I see the camera, my n***a. I told you I’m on the phone.” It’s not the only curious headline around the Baton Rouge rapper that has nothing to do with him specifically to pop up recently. For example, fans continued to joke about his son’s boxing talents in a recent video given that the boy’s grandfather is none other than Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Speaking of Floyd, YoungBoy had some scathing bars for him and Birdman on his new song, “Tears Of War.” “Know Miss Tina probably saying, “This piece of s**t with my daughter’ / I won’t arguе ’cause I know that soon I’ll probably be slaughterеd / Biggest snake from out of Florida, I ain’t never record her / Knew that Stunna never loved me, should’ve listened to Carter,” he rapped on the cut. “All these f***ing cars, can’t drive, I keep my feelings disguised / Scared to vent to Yaya, but I could talk to my guys / Floyd against me, he the only reason that I stopped trying / We supposed to all be aligned, I keep my head to the sky.“
Meanwhile, YoungBoy’s current jail situation is a big contrast from his house arrest, during which Wack 100 claims he made $100 million. We’ll see what other updates emerge regarding his status, and whether Never Broke Again gets into more shenanigans in the meantime. But if you’re a YouTube prank creator reading this, a word of advice. YB and his people don’t seem like the biggest fans of your style of content…
Eminem is leaning into his status as a white person in hip-hop with a new White Castle merch collaboration that fans are sure to eat up.
The collab was announced yesterday (July 9), and the merch line features two items. There’s a white t-shirt that features the classic White Castle logo, but modified to say “White Rapper” instead. It also reads, “Established in 1972… Buy ’em by the ‘sack,” a reference to Eminem’s birth year and not that of White Castle, which was founded in 1921. The other item is a simpler black and white trucker hat with the “White Rapper” logo on the front.
The hat costs $30 and it’s $35 for the shirt, and both can be bought on Eminem’s web store.
Of course, Eminem’s long-running success in hip-hop has sparked much discussion over the years about his status as a white rapper. For example, in 2023, Melle Mel of Grandmaster Flash And The Furious Five said of Em, “Obviously, he’s a capable rapper. If you was talking about sales, he sold more than everybody. If you talking about rhyme style — OK, he got a rhyme style. But he’s white! He’s white! If Eminem was just another n**** like all the rest of us, would he be top 5 on that list when a n**** that can rhyme just as good as him is 35?”
Jack Harlow also prompted some discussion when he referenced Eminem on 2023’s “They Don’t Love It,” rapping, “The hardest white boy since the one who rapped about vomit and sweaters / And hold the comments ’cause I promise you I’m honestly better than whoever came to your head right then.”
The former adult actress suing Diddy for sex trafficking, sexual assault, and other crimes, Adria English, is reportedly expecting a lot from any potential media appearances. Moreover, a new TMZ report claims that she received a whole lot of interview offers since her bombshell lawsuit broke into the news cycle last week. Allegedly, sources close to the situation told the outlet of a particular offer from Domenick Nati, and of English and her team’s supposed response. Apparently, she expected some very ambitious and typically A-list-reserved demands to be in order, and we don’t know who would be able to accommodate them.
Furthermore, Diddy’s latest accuser reportedly wanted first-class tickets from Los Angeles to New York City for her and her husband, as well as two separate plane tickets for her attorneys, as part of her interview terms. In addition, the demands supposedly include two nights at a four-star hotel (preferably with breakfast included); hair, makeup, and wardrobe services pre-interview; meals and snacks at the interview shoot; and specific companies and vendors for her attire and look. With all this in mind, Domenick Nati chose not to pursue. But we don’t know if Adria English made all these requests before her recent Tasha K interview, or if she learned from this process.

Regardless, we’ll see if anyone eventually ends up sitting down with her to talk about her Diddy lawsuit and their history together. However, it’s important to clarify that Adria English’s attorney Ariel Mitchell-Kidd says that English didn’t personally make these interview demands, but rather that they came from her team. It seems like these are standard industry requests. “Everyone is making money off her story, so she was given options by her team and this is the list they came up with,” Mitchell-Kidd expanded. “There was more on the list, but it was chopped down to be essentials only for a first interview.”
“We have limited financial sources to bring a billionaire to justice, but just like David, sometimes a little is enough,” the attorney had shared about Adria English’s case against Diddy. Reportedly, all the money English have is going towards the litigation, and they don’t have many avenues to engage with the press. We’ll see what else comes of this case in the near future and whether she will sit down for another interview. We’re sure the alleged victim would have a lot more to share.
The Game just faced another legal hurdle in Priscilla Rainey’s case against him, which stems from an initial 2016 lawsuit accusing him of sexual battery. Back then, he lost the case and faced a default judgement of a little over $7 million for failing to show up in court. However, after Rainey accused the rapper of creating shell companies to avoid fulfilling these obligations for compensation, she won a second lawsuit against him alleging this behavior. Now, according to alleged court documents reportedly obtained by AllHipHop, she served him and his manager Wack 100 and plans to seize his house as part of her asset collection approved by the court to get the $7 million judgement.
Furthermore, a process server reportedly notified The Game and Wack 100 of a notice of levy, writ of execution, and more on Priscilla Rainey’s behalf. The home in question is in Calabasas, California, and both men appeared under the same address. Rainey had accused the Los Angeles native of giving the home’s deed to Wack in an attempt to prevent its loss in her judgement pursuit. Also, she subpoenaed his kids’ school district for proof of residence and attendance records after seizing his publishing and label.

For those unaware, Priscilla Rainey was a contestant on The Game’s reality TV show She’s Got Game on VH1, and he expressed previously that he didn’t want to pay his debt to her. “Don’t be fooled by these accusations or the dollar amount in the headlines. Cause I put that on my favorite aunties poodle this broad ain’t gettin s**t!” The Game expressed on Instagram in 2016 concerning Rainey’s sexual battery lawsuit. “Every girl on that show will tell u I never touched this chick or ever desired to be anywhere near her.
“She got kicked off the show. As a result she filed this lame lawsuit which was probably her intentions before the show ever even started,” The Game went on. “She [begged] for my attention the entire time we shot the show & [I gave her] the ultimate Major League Baseball CURVE ball so that upset her & made her lil wee wee hard so she did what all chicks like her do when life gives them no other options…. They sue you!“
The Atlanta-born, Sacramento-bred powerhouse gracefully thanked her fans for their “advocation for me” and clarified, “My team was told it is ‘too early in my story’ for that opportunity so we will keep working!” She ended her X (formerly Twitter) post with, “For me, it’s part of the story … and in God’s time.”
The VMAs’ decision was spectacularly ignorant for various reasons, not least of which that Monét’s “On My Mama” had been one of the hottest songs (and music videos) of the summer. But Monét is used to this. She shouldn’t have to be, but she is. Consistently, she has professed an unshakable conviction in what is meant for her, finding it in due time. The past year has surely felt like divine timing — from the August release of Jaguar II, her exquisite debut studio album, to winning three Grammys in February and making her Coachella debut in April (Beyoncé blessed Monét’s set by sending her flowers, a higher honor than the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire.) More recently, Monét owned the 2024 BET Awards on June 30 — winning the night with her and Teyana Taylor’s “Bad Girl” performance — and shared top billing with Janet Jackson, her foremost influence, at Essence Festival 2024.
Long ago, she unsubscribed from arbitrary, linear timelines and subjective deification.
Increasingly, the music industry pedestals young, unpolished (and often white) artists who can generate instant yet fleeting gratification through online engagement. While Monét can play the numbers game, her artistry stands in defiance. Monét’s age is an outsized narrative because society insists on its significance in all the wrong contexts.
Ageism eventually comes for everyone, but it’s especially cruel to athletes, pop stars, and women. We should all thank God that Monét — a powerful Black woman who has danced since adolescence and mastered R&B/hip-hop so thoroughly that her pop appeal is undeniable — didn’t let ageism sabotage her career before it had a chance to blossom. Monét’s 35 years symbolize resilience and serve as proof of concept for anyone weighed down by the dumbfounding societal standard declaring someone’s twenties as their only viable decade.
Monét wasn’t visible in her twenties, but she was always viable. Her impact was palpable, even if her face wasn’t readily attached. It began with a 2008 MySpace DM to Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins, leading to a move to Los Angeles in 2009 to join Jerkins’ girl group, Purple Reign, which never materialized. Instead, she cut her teeth as a songwriter for the likes of Ariana Grande, Fifth Harmony, Kendrick Lamar, Nas, T.I., and more. At one point, according to Billboard, she was a credited songwriter on 12 Billboard Hot 100 charters. In April 2019, Monét joined Grande, her most prolific collaborative relationship by far, as a forward-facing artist on their single (and bisexual anthem) “Monopoly,” which peaked at No. 69 on the Hot 100. Monét achieved top-tier songwriting success while simultaneously fighting for respect as a solo artist — releasing four EPs between 2014 and 2018 — and never seeking a shortcut.
“When I was putting out my first EPs, I didn’t have a team, and I didn’t have a manager,” Monét told Vulture in February. “Like, it was just me.”
Last November, when Monét learned she’d earned seven Grammy nominations in real time, she was surrounded by her family and team — jumping with glee and screaming in relief. If that recognition had come earlier, when she first thought she wanted it, that room wouldn’t have been as full. She wouldn’t have her longtime partner John Gaines or their three-year-old daughter, Hazel, who became the youngest-ever Grammy nominee as a featured artist on “Hollywood.” The moment couldn’t have been as satisfying. The timing wouldn’t have been right.
“To everybody who has a dream, I want you to look at this as an example,” she said in her emotional acceptance speech. “This award was a 15-year pursuit. I moved to LA in 2009. I like to liken myself to a plant who was planted, and you can look at the music industry as soil, and it can be looked at as dirty, or it can be looked at as a source of nutrients, and my roots have been growing underneath ground, unseen, for so long. I feel like, today, I’m sprouting.”
In May, she posted a framed screenshot of her February 2013 tweet manifesting a Grammy positioned behind her three Grammys, as she had also won for Best R&B Album and Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical.
“It’s an incredible reminder that when you want something, the only thing between you and that thing is time, and if you’re willing to spend that time in your highest forms of hard work, passion, consistency and gratitude for the journey, your dreams will have no choice but to run to you!!,” Monét captioned the Instagram post.
It’s easy to profess patience and perseverance from the mountaintop, but Monét has been about it. An album as timeless as Jaguar II can only come from someone who took her time — someone who lived a life first.
Monét’s “On My Mama” video features cameos from Hazel, her mother, Mommy Monét, and Chalie Boy. The Dave Meyers-directed, Sean Bankhead-choreographed “Alright” video pays homage to Janet Jackson, Missy Elliott, and Britney Spears. Those full-on, old-school videos exploded online, creating discourse and metaphorical bouquets tossed Monét’s way.
But that’s not why Monét filmed them. That’s not why she’s stuck around for fifteen years. Monét knows what lasts and what doesn’t because she lasted a decade-plus without the external validation that she’d always deserved. She’ll last for another fifteen-plus because she doesn’t need it.
