Russell Wilson And Ciara Sell Seattle Mansion For A Whopping $21 Million

May 16, 2024 by newhiphopnews

After years of waiting, the A-list couple Russell Wilson and Ciara have finally closed on their enormous waterfront house, making their bank account $31 million richer. The property was built in 2007 and located just ten miles from Lumen Stadium, home of the Seattle Seahawks. The 11,104-square-foot property was officially closed last week for $21.25 million. It was originally offered for an astounding $28,000,000. After deciding to lower the asking price, the famous singer and athlete eventually found a buyer.

Russ and Ciara’s windfall from the sale of their six-bedroom, six-bathroom mansion, which included the adjacent plot of property, totaled a staggering $ 31 million. The property, sprawled over an acre, offers a breathtaking view of Lake Washington. It also has direct waterfront access and a spacious dock capable of accommodating three boats and numerous jet skis. Inside, the mansion boasts a lavish glam room, a colossal closet, an elevator for easy access, a state-of-the-art gym, and a host of other luxurious amenities, providing a glimpse into the couple’s opulent lifestyle.

Naturally, the Wilson family’s presence in the Seattle region is no longer necessary. The 2022 Broncos acquired the Super Bowl-winning quarterback Russell Wilson in exchange for a number of picks. Wilson signed a $242.5 million contract before being dismissed less than two seasons later. Wilson inked a contract with the Steelers this summer, albeit he only received $1.21 million, a far lesser sum. Even if they don’t make significantly less, it’s reasonable to believe Russ and Ciara aren’t slumming it in Pittsburgh. Especially not with the $31 million that recently landed in their account.

Now a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers, Wilson will look to lead his new team to the playoffs. Former Chicago Bears top pick Justin Fileds is also on the Quarterback depth chart. Wilson is looking to claim the starting spot and end his career on a high note. He wants a fresh start after a disastrous post-Seahawks run. Overall, Ciara and Russ are finally moving on from Seattle. The power couple is now looking to make a mark in Pittsburgh. It will be interesting to see where Wilson’s 2024 season goes.

Deshaun Watson Gets Massive Tattoo Of Girlfriend Jilly Anais On His Back

May 15, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Deshaun Watson recently showed his girlfriend how much he cared by getting a massive tattoo of her face on his left shoulder blade. The Cleveland Browns QB’s back is now completely covered with tattoos. The portrait of his girlfriend, Jilly Anais, takes up his entire left side. The superstar from the Cleveland Browns visited Onder Ink’s Andres Ortega in Arizona this month to complete the work. Additionally, Watson’s mother, his birthplace, and other family members are also honored in the new ink.

It also has pictures of his championship rings. One of which is intentionally left empty, so he may add to it after winning his first Super Bowl. Additionally, Popeye, an astronaut, and Martin Luther King Jr. are among the other figures in Watson’s most recent artwork. According to reports, the entire process took almost 9 hours to finish. Watson was so pleased with the outcome that he gave the artist an autographed Browns jersey as a thank-you present. Ultimately, it is a giant piece of artwork that requires a lot of labor and pain. Hopefully, he and Jilly Anais are in it for the long haul.

Deshaun Watson Unveils Massive Back Tattoo Of His Girlfriend

The unveiling of Deshaun Watson’s massive back tattoo has sparked anticipation and excitement among fans. Jilly, who has been dating Watson for years, has not yet made a public acknowledgment of the work, but it’s safe to assume she is thrilled by the gesture. As the NFL offseason kicks into gear and OTA’s start next week, Cleveland Brown fans are eagerly awaiting the opportunity to see the back piece in person. Watson’s omission of a few important aspects from the Super Bowl ring picture on his back, leaving the front and side blank, is a clear indication of his determination to fill this void after winning the NFL’s highest reward.

Although Watson is taking a risk by adding a blank ring that will be filled in later, it shows that he wants to win the Vince Lombardi Trophy. In 2022, the Browns traded a lot of resources to acquire Watson. He has yet to do anything of note with the Browns being injured for large stretches of his tenure with the Clevland football team. Overall, Watson and his tattoo show his past, present, and future ambitions to be a Super Bowl Champion.

Harrison Butker Called Out For Wild Political Commencement Speech About Masculinity

May 15, 2024 by newhiphopnews

During Benedictine College’s graduation ceremony, kicker Harrison Butker of the Kansas City Chiefs gave a divisive speech that caused a stir on social media. Speaking at the event on May 11, he decried a number of “diabolical lies told to women,” including surrogacy, IVF, abortion, and President Joe Biden. His speech has been described as fringe and dangerous rhetoric disguised as profound observations. Now Butker is under fire for delivering a sexist, anti-LGBTQIA+ commencement speech that even quoted his teammate Travis Kelce’s girlfriend, Taylor Swift.

During his 20-minute speech on Saturday at Benedictine College’s graduation ceremony, he attacked working women, Pride Month, abortion, and other problems. This caused a quick outrage on social media, and rightfully so. “It is safe to say that over the years, I have gained quite the reputation for speaking my mind,” Butker acknowledged before diving into his speech, where he went after various important topics concerning vulnerable groups and President Biden’s “bad policies and poor leadership.” The speech was instantly discussed and has caused quite a controversy around Butker and the Chiefs.

Harrison Butker Makes Wild Speech

TRENDING: Thousand of social media users, including ‘Swifties’ are calling for #Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker to be “BANNED FROM THE #NFL, like Colin Kaepernick”

He is being called “misogynistic, homophobic, & transphobic” after this speech at graduation

Harrison Butker continued his speech, saying, “Things like abortion, IVF, surrogacy, euthanasia as well as a growing support for degenerate cultural values and media all stem from the pervasiveness of disorder.” Butker bemoaned to graduates of the private Catholic institution in Atchison, Kansas, that LGBT people had a “full month dedicated” to their rights, using Pride Month as an example of “the deadly sins” taught in the church. The athlete then told the female audience members that being a homemaker should be their most important role in life. Butker advised the male graduates of the institution to “fight against the cultural emasculation of men” and “be unapologetic in your masculinity.”

The three-time Super Bowl champion said to the crowd, “As my teammate’s girlfriend says, ‘Familiarity breeds contempt,’” using a line from Swift’s 2022 song “Bejeweled.” Everyone from regular Twitter users to Chiefs fans to Taylor Swift fans and countless others quickly slammed Butker for his wild remarks. Overall, this might cause a problem for the Chiefs. The NFL doesn’t want its players talking politics at all, so if they make a special exception for Butker, then it sends a bad message.

NLE Choppa And LeVeon Bell Have Serious Beef Over Duck Shoes

May 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

LeVeon Bell, the former NFL player who is now a rapper, and NLE Choppa seem to be developing a slight beef over some Duck Boots and jersey sales. The Memphis rapper released two new songs on Friday: “Stickin And Movin” and his joint Duck Boot sneaker with Fctry Labs, which he noted on Instagram as selling out. But given that Bell openly mocked Choppa’s supporters in a quoted Twitter response about the $250 sneakers, it doesn’t seem like everyone was as thrilled about the shoes’ arrival as Choppa’s fans were.

Bell wrote in a tweet, “& ppl boutta buy them ugly ass boots too [Face-palm emoji].” “Imma sale more boots then you sold jersey how much u wanna bet?” was Choppa’s retort to Bell after he took offense. The two rappers are now having a healthy beef over the $250 shoes. Fans on both sides seem to be having a good time watching the two personalities clash over the Duck sneakers.

Bell successfully responded to NLE Choppa’s tweet, which it seemed he took seriously, by making a TikTok video in which he formally the rapper to a sales competition and made fun of his sneakers. “All right y’all, we have a fried one,” Bell said while laughing. “NLE Choppa is fried. Have y’all seen his boots? Hold on. These are the boots. These are the boots.” Bell continued to stunt on Choppa, flexing his NFL career. He said, “NLE Choppa, I don’t think you understand, bro. I’ve been doing this for a long time.”

Bell went in, saying, “Literally from 2014 to 2017, I was in top five jersey sales at the NFL for like three to four years straight. Then I had free agency and went to a new team with the Jets, and then my Jersey sales went even crazier with a new team. And then after that I went from the Jets to the Kansas City Chiefs.” Bell seems to have taken the jersey sales comment to heart. He concluded by saying, “Bro, I was the last infinity ring for the gauntlet bro,” he said before adding, “So someone told this freaky guy, this freaky little rapper, whatever you want to put up for the bet we can do. I like me.” Overall, the NLE Choppa Leveon bell beef is hilarious and might sell both jerseys and shoes in the process.

Aaron Hernandez’s Fiancee Upset Over Tom Brady Roast Jokes

May 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Since Aaron Hernandez was mentioned in negative ways several times during Tom Brady’s roast, his ex-fiance is furious. Shayanna Jenkins, the mother of the late Patriots star’s sole child, expressed her disappointment that her late fiancé was the target of several jokes during the Netflix show. She feels this ultimately made his tragic tale seem trivial. She says, “It’s sad that I’m trying to raise my children in such a cruel world.” Shayanna continued by saying that Even though Aaron is no longer with them a lot of people have opinions about him and his life. Their 11-year-old daughter is still very much a part of her life and is affected by it all.

She adds that since her daughter is now a preteen and has grown up, she will undoubtedly witness what was said about her father on Sunday come from a group of adult men who were amused by his untimely demise and from a person she looked up to. Shayanna believes Aaron ought to have been off-limits during the roast, but he wasn’t. There were plenty of edgy jokes, and expecting comedians to hold back at a roast is wishful thinking, unfortunately.

Aaron Hernandez’s Fiancee Reacts To Tom Brady Roast

Throughout the roast, Tom and other people make several direct and indirect references to Aaron. Julian Edelman, Aaron’s former teammate, also made a hanging joke. Nikki Glaser joked about Aaron wearing a ring around his neck. The jokes garnered gasps from the crowd but were ultimately laughed at. Aaron took his own life in prison after being convicted of murder. It was a dark time for the New England Patriots. They now seem pretty comfortable making jokes about his tragic story.

Tom Brady thought one comic crossed the line. After enduring several jokes about his divorce from his ex-wife Giselle Bundchen, Tom did not take kindly to Jeff Ross’s joke about Patriots owner Robert Kraft. Craft was in legal trouble a couple of years ago for alleged solicitation at a massage parlor where he was believed to be videotaped doing illegal activities. Jeff Ross joked about the “message,” and Tom walked over to him like Will Smith and told him, “Don’t say that sh*t again.” Overall, It seems there were some topics that were off-limits.

Kim Kardashian Booed At The Tom Brady Roast

May 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kim Kardashian took part in Netflix’s live event, The Roast Of Tom Brady. The roast featured comedians like Kevin Hart, Nikki Glaser, and roast master Jeff Ross. Additionally, it featured some of Brady’s former teammates, like Rob Gronkowski and Julian Edelman. Kim K donned a black dress and some champagne as she made her way to the stage to roast the Hall of Fame quarterback. The reality star then proceeded to get relentlessly booed by the crowd.

The audience at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles booed her very loudly when she started to address fellow presenter Kevin Hart. Kardashian appeared embarrassed and furious at the backlash over her attendance at the event. The boos were obviously not expected by Kim K, but she had to compose herself and deliver her roasts to Brady. The jeering eventually went away, and she was able to get into her set. Despite the boos, she uncomfortably hung in there and addressed the rumors she and Tom Brady dated, among other things.

Kim Kardashian brought up the rumors that she and Brady were formerly romantically involved. “Speaking of Tom and I dating, I know there were some rumors that we were, and I’d never say if we did or not, I’d just release the tape,” she joked of the dating rumors. Kardashian also made a humorous comparison between Brady and Olympic champion Caitlyn Jenner during the roast. She said of Tom and Caitlyn, “I know the transition from the NFL must have been really hard, but I think my stepdad is a great example for you.” She continued, “She’s one of the greatest athletes in the world who’s proved you can do anything in this next chapter. You can become a commentator, a far-right Republican, or even a strong, confident woman.”

Kardashian finished her set off with some words for Tom Brady. She jokingly concluded, “I’m just here tonight to support you and celebrate you. I’ll give you the same advice I give all of my exes: good luck knowing the best is behind you.” Tom Brady got her back later in the roast, though. The NFL icon brought up Kim K’s ex-husband Kanye West, saying, “I know Kim was terrified to be here tonight. Not because of this, but because her kids are at home with their dad.” All Kim Kardashian could do was shake her head and laugh.

Patrick Mahomes Assists Logan Paul On Monday Night Raw

April 30, 2024 by newhiphopnews

This week’s Monday Night Raw took place in Kansas City. Whenever the WWE visits a city that is home to an NFL franchise, you can expect to see some star players from that team show up during the broadcast in the crowd. Recently retired NFL center Jason Kelce has made a couple of in-ring appearances over the past couple of months. The WWE and the NFL have a lot in common, so it only makes sense for them to link up with one another. The WWE brought out Patrick Mahomes and US champion Logan Paul this week, and it was out of control. The Super Bowl champion gave Paul a big assist with some Super Bowl flair.

Logan Paul, the reigning US champion in the WWE, is not resting on his laurels. His recent victory at WrestleMania, where he outshone WWE Legend Randy Orton and the great Kevin Owens in a triple-threat match, is just the beginning. Paul is determined to make a name for himself in the world of wrestling, and his performance on Monday Night Raw was a promising glimpse into his future success as a villain.

Patrick Mahomes entered the arena with Paul and his crew, and Paul was dining on his championship belt. During Paul’s segment on Raw, Paul, Finn Balor, and JD McDonagh were all in the ring at the same time, putting a beating on Jey Uso. Paul slid out of the ring and approached Patrick Mahomes, who was sitting in the front row. Mahomes gave him some assistance using a pair of brass knuckles. After Mahomes took out his three Super Bowl rings and gave them to Paul, the quarterback threw them on, gave Mahomes a quick pat on the back, and stepped back into the ring.

Paul got ready to deliver a devastating blow to Jey Uso with the Super Bowl ring brass knuckles. Unfortunately for Paul and his crew, Uso saw it coming and got out of the way at the last moment. Paul’s teammate McDonagh took the punch and all of those diamonds to the face. Jey Uso dodged a bullet and laughed it off. Overall, Patrick Mahome’s appearance on Monday Night Raw was pretty entertaining. We hope it’s not his last appearance with the WWE.

Travis Kelce Inks 2-Year Extension With The Kansas City Chiefs

April 29, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Travis Kelce’s contract with the Chiefs was extended for two more seasons, keeping him under contract until the 2027 season. The veteran tight end signed a deal worth $34.25 million, with $17 million fully guaranteed for this season. Additionally, most of the balance will be guaranteed during the 2025 season. It is definitely deserved. Since being selected in the third round of the 2013 NFL Draft, Kelce has amassed 11,328 yards and 74 receiving touchdowns, making him one of the greatest tight ends of all time.

In 2023, Kelce missed out on a record-tying ninth consecutive 1,000-yard season by 16 yards. Due to a knee injury, he was sidelined for the season’s opening game and rested for the playoffs. His record for consecutive 1,000-yard seasons is seven. Kelce has been selected to nine consecutive Pro Bowls and is a four-time first-team All-Pro. The TE had 93 receptions for 984 yards and five touchdowns last season. The Kansas City Chiefs will defend their Super Bowl Title in the upcoming season. Ultimately, They are the pick to win the big game once again.

Travis Kelce Becomes Highest Paid Tight End In The NFL

Travis was one of the key factors in the Chief’s Super Bowl run. He was a reliable and clutch target for Patrick Mahomes, making big plays when the Cheifs needed them. He recorded 32 receptions for 355 yards and four touchdowns in the postseason, helping the Chiefs win their third Super Bowl in five seasons and their second straight. Kelce is cementing himself as one of the best tight ends of all time. Travis has been in the league a long time, so this might be his last contract before he hangs up his cleats.

Kelce and Swift were most recently spotted at Coachella. The two appeared to have thoroughly enjoyed themselves at the music event. They enjoyed private times together and felt the vibe of the music they were seeing. When Kelce casually picked up Swift during a concert, it created a stir amongst fans. The couple rejected the Met Gala, recently opting not to attend. Overall, Kelce is enjoying his off-season and will probably be out celebrating his new contract.

Jason Kelce Set To Join ESPN’s “Monday Night Countdown”

April 29, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The recently retired Jason Kelce has just secured a new gig. The Super Bowl Winning Center and older brother to Suber Bowl Winning Travis Kelce is set to join ESPN. It’s reported that Jason Kelce will be joining ESPN’s Monday Night Countdown show. The show is the preshow for Monday Night Football. Additionally, all the NFL-partnered networks other than Fox Sports at least considered bringing on Kelce as a contributor. Ryan Clark and Marcus Spears are among the other commentators on the show, which is hosted by Scott Van Pelt. Furthermore, according to earlier reports, Robert Griffin III is not anticipated to make a comeback to the pregame show this coming season.

After playing center for the Eagles for 13 years, Kelce, 36, announced his retirement this summer. Kelce, a seven-time Pro Bowler and six-time All-Pro, played a key role in the team’s 2018 Super Bowl victory. Kelce is a beloved figure in Philly, and after the Eagles were eliminated from the playoffs, he could be seen sometimes shirtless, supporting his brother Travis at Chiefs games. All in all, Kelce is reaching a new stage in a new career, and it’s exciting news for Monday Night Football enjoyers.

Jason Kelce Is Monday Night Countdown’s Newest Host

One of the most entertaining athletes around, Kelce has experience dissecting games on his “New Heights” podcast alongside his brother Travis. The sky was the limit for Jason post-football. Since retiring, he has made appearances in the WWE and Wrestlemania. Additionally, even Hollywood wouldn’t seem out of reach. Kelce loves football. Additionally, If you have ever heard him talk about it on his podcast, you will see that he has a high level of game knowledge. All signs point to him being pretty good on TV.

Travis Kelce is probably set to have an even bigger splash after his playing career. Fortunately, both brothers will evidently be in our sports lives for years after they retire. The question is whether Taylor Swift will still be a part of the Kelce experience for that long. Overall, the Kelce brothers are not just set to take over; they already have, and one still competes for Super Bowls. Good luck to Jason on his new gig.
