Cam’ron Takes Aim At Skip Bayless For “Using” Lil Wayne & Yella Beezy For Clout

by

Cam’ron is someone who does not mince words. Overall, this is especially true on his new sports talk show, It Is What It Is. He and Ma$e have renewed their friendship on this show, and it has been great to see. As you probably know, these two have taken aim at plenty of figures this season. However, they have a lot of respect because of these tactics. Fans love the show, and it will not be going away, anytime soon.

Recently, Cam decided to go after Skip Bayless while OJ Simpson was on the show. Essentially, Cam takes issue with the fact that Bayless seemingly “uses” black people to make himself appear cooler. For instance, he referenced the fact that Lil Wayne, Yella Beezy, and Bubba Dub have all been on the show. Cam feels like Skip is trying too hard and that if there is a show they should go on, it would be It Is What It Is.

Cam’ron Says His Peace

“Yo if anybody that’s popping on the Gram, social media — do not go up there for free cause them n**** is getting the bag, my n***a. They treating y’all like the NCAA in 1991, my n***… The name of their show, you ever see how it comes on, like the logo? It’s gold chains,” Cam explained. “Skip, get the fuck out of here with them gold chains bro. Yo stop man. You gotta stop bro. Yo Bubba Dub, Yella Beezy – like I said, I already know Wayne ain’t playing no games — stay the fuck away if y’all don’t get paid. That n***a using y’all for cool points ’cause he don’t know how to be cool.”

Skip and Wayne have been good friends for a minute now, so he would probably disagree with the sentiment. However, there is no doubt that Cam is making an interesting point. Do you think he’s right? Let us know in the comments below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latst news from around the sports world. We will always be sure to keep you informed.

Michael Irvin Trolls Son For Rap Career: “You Grew Up In A Gated Community”

by

Michael Irvin called out his son during an appearance on Skip Bayless’ FS1 show, Undisputed, teasing him for pursuing a career in hip-hop. The NFL legend joked that his son grew up in a “gated community” and doesn’t know where his lyrics are coming from. Irvin’s son raps under the name “Tut Tarantino.”

“I got a son. He raps. His rap name is Tut Tarantino,” Irvin said. “If you ever listen to some of his raps. I’m like, ‘Oh my god. Where does this come from, son? You grew up in a gated community your whole life.’ But he’s rapping my life. Because we romanticize and fantasize about that old thug life, ghetto life, and all of that stuff. [W]e used to work to get away from [it]. Now, we’ve gotten to a place somehow where we’re running back towards it. In the music, in everything.”

Where does this stuff come from?’ I worked hard to get you out of this, and you’re rapping right back to it.” Check out Irvin’s latest comments on his son below.

Skip Bayless Ripped Apart For Racially Motivated Deion Sanders Question

by

Skip Bayless is someone who has put his foot in his mouth on countless occassions. Overall, he is still employed by FS1 and that probably will not change, anytime soon. After all, he is one of the biggest names at the network at this point. Sure, he ran Shannon Sharpe away from the network. However, his shows still bring in at least some ratings, compared to ESPN. Unfortunately for Skip, without Sharpe, Undisputed has become a huge mess, and fans are not loving it so far.

Recently, Skip has been all in on Deion Sanders and the Colorado Buffaloes. Although the team lost its game against the Oregon Ducks on Saturday, Skip is still optimistic about their future. However, during today’s show, he took to Twitter to ask fans a question about Sanders’ team. As you will see, that question was a bit wild, and people were quick to let him know that. “Is Deion’s Colorado now Black America’s Team?” Bayless asked.

Skip Bayless Poses A Question

Overall, the responses to this question probably weren’t what Skip was looking for. The Undisputed host was looking for some real answers here. However, all he was left with was people asking him if he had gone crazy. Moreover, there were some who felt like this was actually a valid question. However, coming from someone like Skip Bayless, it just felt like a complete pander. Needless to say, Bayless might have to be a bit more calculated with his questions, and how he asks them.

Fans React

Unfortunately, it is these types of questions that have made Undisputed a shell of itself lately. With Sharpe enjoying a ton of success with First Take, Bayless’ reign may just be coming to an end. Let us know your thoughts on Bayless and his question, in the comments section below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news and updates from around the sports world.

Shannon Sharpe Claims He Nearly Hit Skip Bayless During Tom Brady Debate

by

While appearing on The Stephen A. Smith Show, Shannon Sharpe recalled a time in 2022 when he nearly came to physical blows with former co-host Skip Bayless. The moment came during an episode of Undisputed when Bayless took a jab at Sharpe about “having to stop at 35” in comparison to Tom Brady, who played well into his 40s. Despite being a seventh-round pick, Sharpe became one of the best tight ends in NFL history. He won three Super Bowls before he retired. Sharpe’s unamused reaction was a rare break in his demeanor on the show. He explained to Smith that he had to restrain himself from “putting his hands” on Bayless.

“Why would I be jealous of Tom Brady? I’m happy that Tom — Tom was like me, given an opportunity, he made the most of that opportunity. I think that was, in all of my TV career, I remember going home, calling my sister, I called my brother, my homeboy, everybody had told him, he raced home, he’d watch it. It took a lot. It took a lot for me not to put my hands on him, it actually did,” Sharpe said. Smith, whose show First Take Sharpe has since joined, joked he was thankful Sharpe didn’t resort to blows because it wouldn’t have gone well for Bayless.

Sharpe Helps First Take Pummel Undisputed In The Ratings

While Sharpe never came to physical blows with Sharpe, he has helped body Undisputed in the ratings. Figures from September between First Take and Undisputed show that the Shannon Sharpe Effect is very much a thing. Viewership figures from September 12 show that First Take received 717,000 viewers. By comparison, Undisputed received 118,000 viewers on the same day.

Furthermore, figures from earlier in the month show a similar trend. Even before Sharpe debuted on First Take on September 4, the numerical evidence was already there. When Undisputed came back from its summer hiatus, it premiered to an audience of 131,000. That dropped to 78,000 viewers by the middle of Undisputed‘s first week back on the air.

Lil Wayne Gives Skip Bayless A Deep Dive On “The Fix”

by

Lil Wayne gave his close friend Skip Bayless a deeper breakdown on his recently released mixtape. “The Fix is just a few songs to satisfy my fans because I love them so much. I just wanted to give them something before the actual album. Because we’re still getting clearances and things like that before we drop the actual album. They are songs off the album and songs I recorded specifically for it [The Fix],” Wayne told Bayless on Undisputed. The full album, Tha Carter VI, is due out later this year.

Wayne has had a weekly spot on Undisputed since the show came back from its summer hiatus. The rapper was the first new addition to the show announced by Bayless back in early August. He now does a handful of segments on Fridays, occasionally coming into the studio to chat with Bayless. Elsewhere, Wayne will perform at halftime during this Sunday’s Raiders game. The 1-1 Raiders host the 1-1 Steelers in a crucial early-season matchup for both teams.

Undisputed Ratings Continue To Tank

Despite the addition of Lil Wayne, Undisputed has continued to struggle in the ratings game. Throughout the month, First Take has completely dominated its Fox rival. Viewership figures from September 12 show that First Take received 717,000 viewers. By comparison, Undisputed, Sharpe’s former workplace, received 118,000 viewers on the same day. While First Take has always had an edge on Undisputed, the schism has grown substantially since Sharpe’s departure in June.

Furthermore, the Sharpe Effect appears to only be growing. Even before Sharpe debuted on First Take on September 4, the numerical evidence was already there. When Undisputed came back from its summer hiatus, it premiered to an audience of 131,000. That dropped to 78,000 viewers by the middle of Undisputed‘s first week back on the air. As Sharpe settles into his role at First Take, it’s likely that the gap is only going to continue to grow.

Lil Wayne Speaks On VMAs Performance For Hip-Hop’s 50th, Says He Was “Nervous”

by

Lil Wayne recently rocked the stage at the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards; in fact, he graced fans with two separate performances. One was a medley of one of his biggest contemporary hits, “Uproar,” and his new single “Kat Food.” However, the other saw the New Orleans MC join LL Cool J, Run-DMC, Nicki Minaj, and more legends of the game to celebrate hip-hop’s 50th anniversary. Not only was it a special moment for him, but one that also proves that, no matter how deep you are into your career, you can still get stage jitters. During his appearance on Undisputed with good friend Skip Bayless, Weezy recalled the experience.

“We did catch you the other night on the VMAs. You lit it up. How did it feel to you? You were among legends, but you are the legend of legends. What did it feel like on stage?” Skip Bayless asked. “Nervous as usual,” Lil Wayne answered. “Same way I feel as always, nervous. Had to open it up, so I just wanted to make sure I ain’t mess up. Hit every beat, make sure I was on point. Yeah, that’s what I was worried about.

Lil Wayne’s Nerves Didn’t Hamper His VMAs Performance

“Oh, yeah, I heard about that,” Lil Wayne said with a laugh when Bayless asked about Taylor Swift loving his performance of “Walk This Way” from the front row. “Just to be up there with those legends, I was like ‘What?’ Literally, Skip, as I’m up there and I could hear myself singing ‘Walk This Way’ that was unbelievable. To hear myself singing, and knowing who I’m up there with. No one else was singing the ‘Walk This Way’ part. No one else was singing it. When I heard it was just me, I was like ‘Yeah.’ I owned it, yeah.”

Meanwhile, Tunechi also made sure to keep feeding fans alongside his big shows, even if it was through a feature. He recently treated Nas and Hit-Boy’s sixth collaborative album in three years, Magic 3, to a feature verse on the track “Never Die.” All in all, there seem to be more reasons than ever to celebrate the Young Money mogul these days- and that’s never a bad thing.

Skip Bayless Reveals Travis Hunter Suffered Lacerated Liver After Vicious Hit

by

Travis Hunter has been mesmerizing football fans so far this season, and for good reason. For those who may not know, Hunter is the superstar cornerback and wide receiver for the Colorado Buffaloes. In the first two games of the season, he played pretty well every snap on both sides of the ball. Overall, this kind of dual-threat player is seldom seen at any level. Although some feel like it won’t last, there are some who believe he can be a game-changer once he reaches the NFL level.

Unfortunately, Hunter was targeted on Saturday night in a win against the Colorado State Rams. He was hit late and overall, it was a crushing blow that sent him to the ground. When he got hit, he was writhing in pain and it was difficult to watch. Subsequently, he was taken out of the game and brought to the hospital. Fans have been expressing concern for him ever since. Today, Skip Bayless provided a crucial update on the young man.

Travis Hunter Is A Warrior

As you can see in the clip above, Bayless reveals that Hunter suffered a lacerated liver. Any sort of injury to a major organ is going to lead to caution and concern. Simply put, it was right to take him out of the game. Moreover, when it comes to his return, it will take three to four weeks for him to get right. This means he will not get to play against Oregon and USC, which are Colorado’s two most difficult games of the entire season. They are also the games where all eyes will be on Coach Prime and his squad.

It is safe to say right now that no one expects Colorado to make it through these next two games with an undefeated record. However, if they pull it off, it will contribute further to one of the best stories in college football. Let us know what you think of Colorado, in the comments section below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the sports world.

Stephen A. Smith Tells Joe Budden That Shannon Sharpe Was Being Pushed Out Of “Undisputed”

by

Stephen A. Smith made some bombshell claims about his new First Take co-host during a recent conversation with Joe Budden. During the podcast episode, Smith claimed that he doesn’t view his acquisition of Shannon Sharpe as poaching or anything like that because Sharpe “didn’t leave of his own volition”. It’s the first major behind-the-scenes claim about the atmosphere at Undisputed prior to Sharpe’s departure.

However, it makes sense. It’s an open secret at this point that Skip Bayless has been seeking more and more control over his flagship show at FS1. It’s likely that Bayless wanted Sharpe out so that he could restructure the show to once again put himself at the top of the pecking order. This is supported by the fact several people were considered and rejected to replace Sharpe and most were rejected on the basis that they would be too much of an equal opponent for Bayless. Instead, Bayless reportedly wants easy wins when it comes to his debate partners.

Sharpe Still Acclimatizing To First Take

Meanwhile, Sharpe appears to still be getting used to his new life at First Take. Earlier this week, Sharpe once again called Smith “Skip” during a debate. While Sharpe was evidently embarrassed about it, Smith brushed it off. It’s happened a couple of times since Sharpe began appearing on the show on September 4. It’s become something of a minor meme at this point. Furthermore, Smith even went as far as to defend Sharpe from the people calling him out about the mistake.

“Will folks calm the F$&@ down please. The man (@ShannonSharpe) worked with Skip for 2 1/2 hours every single weekday for 6 1/2 YEARS! I’m surprised he hasn’t called me Skip more. Honest mistake. Nobody is fazed this way! So long as he shows up to @FirstTake when I ask, we are good! #TRUST,” Smith wrote on X. How do you think Sharpe is doing? Let us know in the comments.

Stephen A. Smith Responds To Skip Bayless’ “First Take” Comments

by

Skip Bayless and Stephen A. Smith’s feud continues. On a recent episode of his podcast, Smith discussed Bayless’ response to his comments on First Take‘s probationary period. He gave his side of the story, claiming that Bayless wasn’t giving the “whole truth” on his show.

Smith begins by noting how he and Bayless don’t talk a lot as of late, as they’re both preoccupied with their own shows. “One could say competing with one another,” he adds. He emphasizes that he himself doesn’t see it that way, but he “[understands] if anyone else does.” Smith continues, describing how his beef with Bayless was reignited when the commentator spoke with Richard Sherman about their own issues from the past. He reiterates how Bayless claimed that he didn’t clap back at Sherman at the time because he was trying to get a show together with Smith, which he says is true.

Stephen A. Smith Claims Skip Bayless Isn’t Telling The “Whole Truth”

He says Bayless “took the liberty of pointing out how we were going through a probationary period but it wasn’t because of him.” “I challenged that,” he says, “that wasn’t entirely true.” Smith then went on to play a clip of himself claiming that ESPN wasn’t “enamored” with Bayless’ Tim Tebow coverage. In the clip, he says that he wasn’t the only one responsible for the probationary period.

He then played a clip of Bayless’ response to his comments, in which Bayless tells his side of the story. “That is not the whole truth,” Smith says, “I don’t lie.” He continues, reiterating his point that their bosses at ESPN weren’t happy with Bayless’ constant Tim Tebow coverage. “Nobody is saying that the show was not successful,” he adds, “Nobody is saying that.” He went on to call out the bosses at ESPN who had a problem with the coverage by name, asserting that they weren’t “proud” of it. He claims that this is a “fact,” and says anyone questioning what he has to say should go talk to them. Leave your thoughts in the comments section, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates on Stephen A. Smith and Skip Bayless.
