Courtney Love Reveals “Crush” On Kendrick Lamar But Gets Called Out For Her Racist Past

by

Sometimes an artist’s praise towards another can backfire in a pretty big way, especially when the commendation seems so out of character. Moreover, that’s what’s happening to grunge star Courtney Love right now, since fans recently had a lot to say about her latest interview with The Standard published November 26. She was asked about which artists she would love to work with as a dream collab, and K.Dot was one of her multiple answers. However, Kurt Cobain’s widow sparked backlash for this statement, or rather, for her alleged racist past that this praise of Kendrick and other artists sought to obfuscate.

“I would love to work with Kendrick Lamar; I have a mad crush on him,” Courtney Love told the outlet. “I also love UK femme drill artists, but it has to sound organic, not forced. Additionally, I’m a fan of Stormzy and Doja Cat. […] Like I said, I have a big crush on Kendrick. He is also genius.” Courtney also remarked that she would love to work with her “home guys” like Ice Cube, Snoop Dogg, and Dr. Dre. But this is where the problem starts to arise.

Courtney Love’s Kendrick Lamar Praise Raises Eyebrows For Various Reasons

Moreover, people saw these Kendrick Lamar comments and looked back at all of Courtney Love’s alleged controversies when it comes to racism. The big one is a 1994 track that her band Hole recorded and performed only once in 1994 reportedly titled “N***er Of Your Dreams.” This adds to other alleged bigoted remarks during live shows and interviews, such as her questioning whether Black people really listen to rock music and associating them with prison. Considering the themes in Kendrick’s music, then this seems like quite misguided or at least performative praise.

That is, if Courtney Love hasn’t learned or changed at all in 30 years, which we sincerely hope she has if she promoted racism in the first place. Maybe this is the result of newfound healing and understanding, so we hope that she already got over her bigoted bump or is doing so right now. Otherwise, it’s all smoke. As for Kendrick Lamar, GNX is doing incredibly well, and its massive success is the cherry on top of what’s been an incredible year for him.

Black Students Allegedly Receive Concerning And Racist Text Messages After U.S. Election

by

It’s only been about three days since the United States election, during which convicted Republican candidate Donald Trump emerged victorious against the Democratic candidate Kamala Harris. Already, some concerning communication and discourse seems to rub this in the face of communities that fear what the next four years will look like. Moreover, reports emerged of alleged text messages sent to Black students, such as one testimony from the University of Alabama. These messages are quite worrisome and frankly racist, as they pretend to assign Black students to plantations or to be “house slaves” via automated messaging and “instructions.” You can see the horrible sentiments for yourself down below.

Of course, these are all just allegations, and it’s unclear what the purpose of these messages are or who is responsible. Either way, it’s a disgusting move. Other alleged affected academic institutions include Clemson and Alabama State. One particular message in the alleged examples down below claims to be from “The Trump Administration,” and another indicates their false and racist instructions will take effect after his entry into office next January. Beyond this, many other reactions to the election results paint a divided picture of a bigoted country, whereas others seek to maintain hope and decency.

Black Students Allegedly Barraged With Racist Messages After Trump’s Victory In U.S. Election

“We want to congratulate President Trump and Senator Vance on their victory,” former U.S. president Barack Obama and his wife Michelle expressed in a statement. “This is obviously not the outcome we had hoped for, given our profound disagreements with the Republican ticket on a whole host of issues. But living in a democracy is about recognizing that our point of view won’t always win out, and being willing to accept the peaceful transition of power. Michelle and I could not be prouder of Vice President Harris and Governor Walz – two extraordinary public servants who ran a remarkable campaign.”

Meanwhile, Kamala Harris reportedly spoke to Donald Trump after the election results became clear to emphasize cooperation and the best interests of the U.S. citizenry. No matter where these messages came from, finding community and supporting each other is the strongest way to combat them. Racist sentiments and discrimination must face a large opposing front if the mission of democracy is to succeed.

Ryan Garcia Expelled From World Boxing Council After Racist Twitter Rant

by

Ryan Garcia shocked social media this week with a racist Twitter rant that mocked George Floyd’s death, the Israel-Palestine conflict, and included multiple disparaging remarks and slurs against African Americans, Muslims, and other discriminated groups. Moreover, the World Boxing Council, one of four major organizations that sanction professional boxing bouts, announced his expulsion from the group on Thursday (July 4). “Exercising my authority as president of the WBC, I am hereby expelling Ryan Garcia from any activity with our organization,” Mauricio Sulaiman stated. “We reject any form of discrimination. I fear for Ryan well being [sic]. He has declined multiple attempts for our help with mental health and substance abuse.”

“I was trolling I want all the killing to stop,” Ryan Garcia expressed on social media as an apology after his remarks. “I love everyone sorry if I offended you.” This is a pretty rough year so far for him, as the New York State Athletic Commission banned him from boxing for a year due to testing positive for performance-enhancing drugs for his recent fight with Devin Haney. We don’t know what else will come of this development, but we hope that there aren’t more antics in its wake. After all, it seems like the last thing the controversial boxer needs right now.

A post shared by The Shade Room (@theshaderoom)

“I haven’t spoken to Ryan in a long time,” Ryan Garcia’s dad revealed during a recent Fight Hub TV interview. “He speaks to his mother more than me. But it’s okay, he’ll call me when he wants to. I would love for him to get some type of therapy when it comes to his drinking. I’m being real. He says he can control it. I hope he can. But if he doesn’t… Get that therapy so he can stop.”

Meanwhile, Ryan Garcia also went viral recently for claiming that Drake was responsible for the murder of XXXTENTACION. Plenty of folks, including X’s good friend Ski Mask The Slump God, blasted these theories outright. In fact, the court had already debunked this during the Florida rapper’s murder trial. It was a pretty bizarre response to the PED suspension, but this new racist rant sadly overshadows it now.

Ryan Garcia Sparks Outrage & Fan Concern After Racist Twitter Rant On George Floyd & More

by

Ryan Garcia absolutely went off on Twitter on Thursday morning (July 4), engaging in racist rhetoric against African Americans and discriminating against various other groups, as well. While he’s since deleted many of these tweets, many of them plus some unhinged Twitter Spaces conversations are making the rounds online. The controversial boxer repeatedly used the n-word, mocked George Floyd’s death, and disparaged Mexicans, Muslims, Christians, and other groups. Some of the most bizarre inclusions in this rant are claims about Black people eating babies and his claim that a Black man sexually assaulted him.

“So a black man r**ed me and it’s okay and everyone acts like it never happened,” Ryan Garcia tweeted on Fourth of July amid other scandalous politically related takes. “Lil Wayne said I can say the n-word.” Other tweets and remarks during Twitter Spaces conversations (including one titled “George Floyd is a b***h”) included attacking both Israeli and Palestinian people and sympathizers, trashing Muslims as a whole when Sneako joined a Space, and calling Christians “gay.” At one point during the Floyd conversation: he said the following: “Let’s go bring George Floyd back to life and kill that n***a again.”

“I haven’t spoken to Ryan in a long time,” Ryan Garcia’s father told Fight Hub TV during a recent interview. “He speaks to his mother more than me. But it’s okay, he’ll call me when he wants to. I would love for him to get some type of therapy when it comes to his drinking. I’m being real. He says he can control it. I hope he can. But if he doesn’t… Get that therapy so he can stop.” “I don’t even drink anymore. My dad doesn’t know what he is talking about. I literally was just talking to him – and he has apologized,” his son tweeted.

More Tweets & Statements

Meanwhile, with a cringey Devin Haney diss covering Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us,” things are looking worse than ever for Ryan Garcia right now. While he has pleaded with fans for their support and acceptance before, we imagine that this will be a line in the sand for many. Still, the boxer hasn’t addressed much of this online, only making broad apologies on Twitter for his remarks. We’ll see if this develops into anything else, or if it affects his career.

Elon Musk Faces Backlash For Sharing Racist Post About Crime Statistics

by

Elon Musk is facing backlash on social media after sharing a racist post on X (formerly Twitter) about the total number of murders between the races. The post compares the total number of killings between the white and Black populations from 1950 and 2024. Disparities in homicide totals have commonly been used as a way of implying that Black Americans are inherently dangerous.

The post came in response to Sneako being punched by a security guard at the America First Political Action Conference. The user wrote: “It’s true that things have changed since the 1950s. 1950s: Blacks killed about 600 more whites each year than whites killed blacks. Now: Blacks kill nearly 1,500 more whites each year than whites kill blacks.” Musk responded with an exclamation point.

John Legend Goes After Donald Trump In Scathing Interview: “He’s A Racist”

by

John Legend slammed Donald Trump during an interview with former White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki on MSNBC, on Sunday. In doing so, he labeled the former President of the United States a “racist” and asked what he’s actually “done for Black people?”

“He’s made it clear throughout his life that he believes Black people are inferior,” Legend said. “He believes that to his core, in his bones, he wouldn’t let us live in his buildings back in the day. But also, when you hear some of the stray comments he makes, he clearly believes in a genetic hierarchy of humanity, and it’s racially determined. So, he is a tried and true, dyed-in-the-wool racist. In the core of his being, he’s a racist. So, I don’t want to hear what he has to say about what he’s done for Black people. He’s done very little for us and he is at his core, truly, truly a racist.”

Elsewhere during the interview, Legend discussed the criminal justice system in the U.S. “There is a two-tiered justice system, but not in the way that he thinks. He’s the beneficiary, absolutely. The fact that he’s out in the world, that’s not normal for a lot of people,” Legend argued. “He’s gotten away with a lot for a long time, he’s been a fraudster for a long time, he’s been cheating people for a long time, he’s been lying for a long time and he’s actually been litigating for a long time.” Check out his full comments below.

Former Law Enforcement Officer Faces Backlash After Road Rage Altercation Turns Racial

by
race

Former law enforcement officer David Tupper is facing intense criticism on social media following a disturbing road rage incident. The allegations against Tupper involve breaking the side window of a black woman’s vehicle during a heated altercation, which ultimately took a racist turn.

The incident unfolded when a black woman, Denishia Lewis, found herself in a confrontation with Tupper, who was identified as a former law enforcement officer. The situation took a shocking turn when Tupper, inexplicably, decided to park his bicycle in the middle of the street while armed with a handgun, donning a uniform.

Denishia Lewis, who was simply trying to pick up her son from the bus stop, found herself stuck behind Tupper as he obstructed traffic. In an attempt to get Tupper to move, she tapped her horn, signaling that traffic had resumed and that he should continue pedaling. However, instead of complying, Tupper further agitated the situation. He moved his bicycle in front of her car, making her wait.

As Lewis attempted to pass him, Tupper accelerated, going so far as to punch and break her side mirror. He continued to stay in front of her, occasionally braking abruptly in an apparent attempt to provoke an accident. It was a series of reckless and dangerous actions, which left Lewis understandably frustrated.

Realizing the dangerous road rage situation, Lewis eventually managed to get around Tupper. She proceeded down the street, performed a U-turn, and returned to confront him for the damage he had caused. Her primary objective was to acquire his insurance information.

During the confrontation, Lewis began recording the interaction, capturing a portion of Tupper’s behavior on video. What ensued is nothing short of shocking, as Tupper embarked on a racist tirade, spewing offensive language.

The situation escalated quickly when a TikTok user, with the handle @TizzyEnt, alerted his 5.9 million followers to the incident. He appealed to the public for assistance in identifying Tupper, which quickly gained traction. Within a short period, Tupper was successfully identified by TikTok user Danesh.

The video of the altercation went viral within hours, exposing the racist behavior and actions of David Tupper to the world. The incident not only highlights the need for accountability and scrutiny of those in positions of authority but also underscores the significance of capturing and sharing incidents of discrimination for justice and reform.

Boosie Badazz Blasts Prosecutor As “Racist” Amid Their Bond Appeal

by

Although the court approved his $50,000 bond, prosecutors are making it very difficult for Boosie Badazz to leave his cell. To summarize the case, authorities arrested the Baton Rouge MC for firearm charges seemingly tied to him flashing one on Instagram Live. While the court initially denied his requests for bond, eventually the judge gave the order- and the prosecution quickly responded. Moreover, federal prosecutors motioned for Boosie to remain behind bars until his trial. After the judge denied it and they appealed the decision again, he slammed prosecutor Michael Wheat via Twitter on Wednesday (June 21) for their insistence.

“After the judge has granted me a bond, and I paid my full cash amount the prosecution refuse to respect the judges decision to let me go,” Boosie Badazz wrote. “They showed no evidence of me being a flight risk or a danger to the community. The prosecutor Mr. wheat looked at me singing Wipe Me Down, wiped his shoulders and shook his head with a look of evil in his eyes. This is total misconduct from a prosecutor.

Boosie’s Statement

“He is racist and has evil intentions,” Boosie Badazz continued. “Now they filed an appeal asking another judge to keep me in prison. I need the people of San Diego outside the court tomorrow to protest the injustice that is being done to me. I need ALL prayer warriors across the world to pray this southern district of California remove Mr. wheat and this prosecution off my case. Even my attorneys have never seen nothing like this in their career. Help Me Fight this Injustice and say a prayer for my freedom tomorrow.”

Meanwhile, in a statement to XXL, the 40-year-old’s team briefly addressed the situation. “Boosie asks for prayers as he deals with this unfortunate circumstance in his life. He hopes that he can rejoin his family soon and knows that God got him.” In addition, the rapper sent a message to his children shortly after federal authorities took him in. “I wanna take this time to apologize to my kids,” he tweeted. “I’m sorry and I love y’all forever.” For more news and the latest updates on Boosie Badazz, stick around on HNHH.
