Wiz Khalifa Weighs In On J Cole’s Legacy After Kendrick Lamar Apology

by

Wiz Khalifa dropped by Club Shay Shay to discuss the current state of hip hop. He’s an established star, following the same meteoric rise and subsequent transition to stoner celebrity as Snoop Dogg. It can be easy to forget, however, that Wiz Khalifa came up during the same blog rap era that produced the likes of Drake, Kendrick Lamar, and J Cole. He may no longer be as relevant as the “Big Three,” but he’s uniquely qualified to speak on their careers. This qualification is what made his opinion on J Cole so interesting.

Shannon Sharpe asked Wiz Khalifa how he felt about Cole’s apology. The Dreamville veteran infamously took down his diss against Kendrick Lamar, and deemed it the “wackest sh*t” of his career. Wiz was not expecting the question, but he gave a measured response. He admitted that, as a rapper, he wasn’t very into what J Cole did. “In hip hop, according to the rules,” Wiz Khalifa posited. “Nah, hell nah. You’re not supposed to do that.” However, the Pittsburgh legend felt that what J Cole did was the smart move on a human level. “In real life, you can take back some sh*t that you said,” he admitted.

Wiz Khalifa also felt J Cole proved himself to be the “bigger person” by apologizing. “It takes a bigger man to actually be like, ‘I don’t want no problems,’” he explained. “In real life, I f*ck with it… I’ll let other people do the hip hop thing.” Wiz Khalifa falls into the majority of rappers when it comes to assessing J Cole’s apology. While it was generally frowned upon at the time, Cole’s decision to apologize has since been praised for being a mature decision. Charlamagne Tha God was someone who initially clowned J Cole but subsequently changed his tune. “I’m a spiritual being living a human existence has nothing but respect for what J. Cole did,” he said.

Wiz Khalifa also weighed in on the third person in the “Big Three” discussion, Drake. He was asked what he thought about the 6 God’s motions against UMG and Spotify. Without missing a beat, the rapper said that Drake has always been the same person. “Naw, it sounds like a Drake move to me,” he quipped. Wiz did praise the rapper’s business acumen, though. “He’s a musician and a businessman in my eyes,” the rapper added. “I mean it’s a smart thing to do.”

Amanda Seales Blasts Haters Questioning Negative Shannon Sharpe Experience

by

Earlier this year, Amanda Seales sat down with Shannon Sharpe for an interview on his Club Shay Shay podcast. Unsurprisingly, the interview quickly made waves online. Almost immediately, fans called Sharpe out for his behavior during the interview. They accused him of downplaying Seales’ experiences with racism and more. She even went on to put him on blast for questioning her autism diagnosis.

“Shannon: But have you been clinically diagnosed? Me: Yes. There is a clinical diagnosis for Autism. He then hung his head and exhaled in frustration because I did not answer his question,” she wrote on Instagram at the time. “I was not going to be pressured by this man who was interrogating me with absolutely zero love for me into proving something to him that L. By his line of questioning, he had already committed to undermining.” Now, Seales is opening up about the interview once again, and firing back at those dismissing the negative experience she had.

“You didn’t see the whole interview,” she began on live. “They cut out portions of the interview. Don’t tell me what I experienced. How are you gonna tell somebody ‘you weren’t attacked’? Yes I was. That man sat up there and literally said to me ‘What you’re saying isn’t right.’ They cut out when Shannon Sharpe literally said to me, ‘It seems like anybody who doesn’t agree with you, you say they’re racist.’ And I literally had to say to him, ‘Is there a reason that you are being so hostile with me?’“

Seales continued, explaining how she believes the conversation about her autism diagnosis should have gone. Sharpe isn’t the only person Seales has had issues with in recent months, as she also went back and forth with Icewear Vezzo over Donald Trump earlier this year. Eventually, he apologized for going overboard with his remarks.

Shannon Sharpe & Chad Ochocinco Weigh In On Drake’s Stunning Lawsuit

by

It seems we are kicking round two of this Drake and Kendrick Lamar beef into gear. However, we would be lying if we said this is what we were expecting. If you are just tuning in, the Canadian hitmaker is suing Universal Music Group and Spotify for artificially spreading awareness for K. Dot’s “Not Like Us” and its accompanying music video. He alleges that UMG has been using an “illegal” scheme consisting of payola, bots, and more to do so. Furthermore, The Boy is accusing the former of violating the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act. The “pre-action” petition was filed to a Manhattan court on Monday. Overall, this is turning out to be a bad look on Drake’s part, especially given the backlash that he’s receiving right now.

He’s been low-hanging fruit all year long already, and folks believe he should be letting this beef go. Charlamagne tha God, one of Drake’s staunchest critics, let him hear it a bit, saying, “Come on man. Because you lost a rap battle? Dot said Squabble Up Not Lawyer Up. 😂 I’m just here for the chaos. Let’s Discuss…..” Mustard, one of Drizzy’s newest foes, could only laugh about the matter, “Omg lmfaooooooooo.”

Shannon Sharpe Is In Disbelief Over Drake’s Lawsuit

But it’s not just the general public and the hip-hop community expressing these feelings. Sports figures are also weighing in on the matter, specifically, Shannon Sharpe and Chad Ochocinco. The latter was mostly just adding surface level commentary on the subject and asking questions. However, Shannon felt this was way below Drake’s pay grade. He listed off all of his achievements, particularly the fact that he’s the first artist to have 20 songs over one billion streams.

Additionally, the Night Cap host said he’s too big globally and worth too much to be filing a lawsuit over a rap beef. “Drake. He [Kendrick Lamar] got one off on you, it happens!” Overall, he seems to be just as lost and confused as most people are right now. As it stands, some aspects of the documents are already allegedly disproved, so it could be looking even more grim for Drake moving forward.

Keke Palmer Sends Shannon Sharpe Into Hysteria By Bringing Up Sex Tape Mishap

by

Keke Palmer was Shannon Sharpe’s most recent guest on his Club Shay Shay podcast, hopping on the platform in an interview published Wednesday (November 20). Of course, they talked about their careers and their experiences a lot, as she mentioned a film she worked on in which she played a younger female character involved with an older man. “You like them older, huh?” Sharpe joked, which led to cackles from them both before Keke hit him with the ultimate clap-back: “That’s what Michelle said!” The interviewer and his colleagues started going ballistic, and she seemed quite proud of herself for the quip.

For those unaware, Keke Palmer referred to Shannon Sharpe’s viral and now infamous sex tape scandal that happened on Instagram Live. There are a few different possible interpretations of this, but basically, he accidentally went Live on the social media platform while he was having intimate relations with a woman he referred to as Michelle. They didn’t actually show up on the screen, but you could hear them in the livestream. Some thought it was fake, others thought he was being honest, but pretty much everyone found the Internet discussion that it provoked at least a little funny.

Elsewhere during her interview with Shannon Sharpe, Keke Palmer also discussed how hard her family had to work for her success and even providing for them at an early age. It was a pretty heartening discussion, especially considering how things look right now. During a recent People interview, she spoke on her relationship with Darius Jackson and how things got out of control with social media gossip and allegations in court. Fortunately, they seem like they’re at least in a better place right now, especially regarding their son.

You can check out the full Keke Palmer interview on Shannon Sharpe’s Club Shay Shay YouTube channel. He might have a lot more content on the way very soon, including a seemingly teased part two to his explosive Katt Williams interview. That conversation kicked 2024 off with a bang, and we wonder if a sequel would cause even more hysteria or never live up to the original. Either way, we’re sure folks would tune in.

Overall, the show is considered to be one of the best when it comes to sit-down interviews that offer some real answers. While the show was doing well throughout 2023, it really hit its stride throughout 2024. It really all started thanks to his interview with none other than Katt Williams, which immediately went viral everywhere.

In a new episode of Nightcap with Chad Ochocinco, Sharpe was speaking on the one-year anniversary of the famous interview with Williams. As it turns out, Sharpe might be planning a sequel on January 3rd, or at least that is what it sounds like. If this is true, then the internet is about to be in for a real treat. Having said that, one has to wonder how much Williams has left to say after unleashing the clip in his first interview with Sharpe.

Whatever the case may be, this is something that many should be looking forward to. Williams is a dynamic personality who can make anything into a joke. Furthermore, 2024 was a year that was dominated by some wild headlines, and we’re sure Williams has a lot of commentary there. Hopefully, Sharpe isn’t pump-faking us right now. Overall, it would be blast to see Williams in this setting again. Although his enemies might not be so excited.

Katt Williams Admits He Wanted To “Kill Careers” With His Viral “Club Shay Shay” Interview

by

Katt Williams says he set out with the intention of ruining several careers during his appearance on Club Shay Shay at the start of 2024. On the show, he blasted several fellow comedians, including Kevin Hart, Steve Harvey, and Tiffany Haddish, while speaking with Shannon Sharpe. Williams reflected on the bombshell podcast during an appearance at New York Magazine’s Vulture Festival over the weekend.

He began by explaining that he thought he had figured out the social media algorithm before going on the show and planned to take advantage. “I [set] out to kill the careers of the people I was talking about,” he said. “But it was so vicious that I erased all of the knockout blows and just left the jabs, so that the comic I’m talking about knows, ‘I know your real story, motherf*ckers.’ Ima tell this, but you know what else I know.”

Elsewhere in the Vulture Festival discussion, Williams joked about the allegations surrounding Diddy, which the Bad Boy mogul has already denied. “I’m anti-establishment, so I can never be the establishment,” he said. “Even if I’m at the Diddy party, I’m there to tell. I’m there to see, Who the f*ck is in here and what do y’all get from being in here? So, nobody likes to have me around. I’m there for bad intentions.”

Katt Williams Reflects On “Club Shay Shay” Interview

He also used the platform to complain about Saturday Night Live’s portrayal of him during the Club Shay Shay interview. “A lot of times, when people are doing an impression of you, they’re really showing you how they feel about you. So, for ‘Saturday Night Live’ to have an impression of me and have a woman do that, it means they think I’m a b****. And I understand that that’s what they’re saying when they do that,” he said. Check out Katt Williams’ full comments on the viral interview below.

Katt Williams Downplays His Conspiracies While Speaking On Shannon Sharpe Interview

by

Katt Williams opened up a Pandora’s box of conflicts, allegations, scandals, conspiracies, and truth-seeking with his Club Shay Shay appearance that kicked 2024 off. His conversation with Shannon Sharpe saw him go after a whole host of celebrities for widely different reasons, including Diddy, Steve Harvey, Cedric The Entertainer, Tiffany Haddish, Kevin Hart, and many more. It remains a hot topic almost a full year after its release, and people still clearly want to talk about it. Moreover, GQ asked the comedian about this “age of truth” origin during the outlet’s “Man Of The Year” event in Los Angeles on Thursday (November 14).

Specifically, the hosts asked Katt Williams how he feels about being “America’s favorite prophet” and whether or not more conspiracies are to come before the year ends. “None of them were conspiracies, which is why they all happened,” he responded. “I believe we’re entering the golden age. Right after the age of truth, the revealing is the scab being pulled off and then the healing can begin.” Considering how explosive the Club Shay Shay interview was, that healing is certainly necessary.

Katt Williams Speaks On His “Conspiracies”

“I came in this business saying I was going to expose,” Katt Williams said during his conversation with Shannon Sharpe. “When I talked about Michael Jackson, when I talked about R. Kelly, they canceled me for these things because why would you talk about another Black dude? Race is not where the line is drawn. It’s God’s side and the other side, and we don’t care nothing about the other side, period. All of these big d**k deviants is all catching hell in 2024. It’s up for all of them, it don’t matter if you Diddy or whoever you is. All lies will be exposed.”

Elsewhere, though, Katt Williams still keeps things light and doesn’t always go down these conspiratorial rabbit holes that captivated us so much back in January. He’s still down to just jab at fellow comedians for the heck of it, such as a joke at GQ‘s event about Faizon Love. We’ll see whether or not “the age of truth” continues, and we’re waiting for the healing to start.

Ray J is pissed. Hitting Instagram, Ray J revealed that someone attempted to kill him. But he did not reveal an identity. Simply stating, “N—as just tried to shoot me. Just tried to kill me, n—a. You want me to apologize, n—a. F— you.”

It’s been a wild time for Ray J lately. Earlier this month, he confirmed an encounter between him and Diddy’s sons. Earlier in the week, TMZ detailed an incident at a Halloween party where Diddy’s sons were about to fight Ray J.

The three Combs sons, Christian, Quincy, and Justin, were at Tara Electra’s Unruly Agency Halloween bash on Halloween, and it truly almost got unruly. The Combs clan saw Ray J outside the party, as he was with Amber Rose and his manager, David Weintraub. The trio surrounded Ray J, upset about his comments about Diddy.

As the altercation escalated, with Christian and Justin reportedly eager to fight, Chris Brown, who was nearby in his car, allegedly diffused the situation and ran over to break up the fight.

After Breezy, others stepped in to prevent the incident from escalating. TMZ sources reveal this is not the first altercation between Ray J and Diddy’s sons.

Ray J spoke on the incident with Wack 100, saying, “I tried to talk some sense into what happened. Luckily, the homie Chris was there.”

Ray J claims it was eight people in the Combs party when they approached him. You can hear it all below.

Expanding on the matter, Ray J said: “It’s unforgiveable, it’s too much. Never being able to be around us and our world ’cause we don’t condone that is definitely a fact.”

Furthermore, Ray J thinks Diddy needs a public “whipping,” suggesting, “100 lashes, 1,000 lashes. That would help.”
