Former NBA Player Kyle Singler Sparks Mental Health Concerns With Shirtless Video

by

Former NBA player Kyle Singler has fans worried about his mental health after sharing a video of himself shirtless, ranting about fearing for his life. The video began circulating online, this week, five years after he last played for the Oklahoma City Thunder.

“I have been mistreated and abused, neglected, made into a mental example,” Singler said in the post. “And I fear for my life every day. And people in my community make me look out as if I’m going to be someone that’s going to be a problem and make things difficult for people when I’m only trying to be helpful. I feel like I have a certain way about myself and strength and purpose that does not get valued or get treated properly.”

by

When you are as big as Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce, you are bound to run into some problems. Whether it be over eager fans or nasty hate and criticism, it just naturally comes with job. However, we are sure that both would rather deal with that over what we are about to reveal. According to a report from TMZ Sports, the quarterback and tight end tandem had their homes burglarized last month.

The Cass County Sheriff’s Office says that Mahomes’ pad in Belton, MO was broken into first. This all went down on October 6 at midnight, which is when local police got to the scene of the crime. As for Travis Kelce, his house, located in Leawood, Kansas, was robbed around 7:33 p.m. on October 7. It seems this was the plan for the criminals to orchestrate these break-ins in this manner because the Chiefs were on “Monday Night Football” that night.

It was a matchup with the New Orleans Saints at Arrowhead Stadium. As it stands, police have not been able to disclose what was stolen at Mahomes’ home. However, there is a recent update from TMZ which details what was taken from Kelce. They say it was $20,000 and some damage to his back door.

Given how scary these things are, the future Hall of Fame pass catcher and Taylor Swift decided to stay at a hotel that night. The pop star was in attendance for that game as well. Sources close to the story say that there was a major crime spree going on during the burglaries. Our best goes out to Mahomes, Kelce, and their loved ones during this time and hopefully, justice will be served soon.

DJ Akademiks Blames The Downfall Of ESPN On Skip Bayless

by

As DJ Akademiks watches rap star-turned-podcaster Cam’ron‘s sit-down interview with Mike Tyson and Jake Paul, he claims Skip Bayless is responsible for ESPN’s alleged downfall in sports media. Big Ak claims ESPN or Skip Bayless did not conduct the Tyson/Paul interview. In a clip of him commenting on the interview, Ak mentioned Skip, saying, “ESPN just completely fallen to shit? And I’m be honest with you: the fall of Skip Bayless was the pivot of sports media to podcasts. Because I’m shocked this face-off didn’t take place on ESPN.”

DJ Akademiks elaborated: “I listen to Gilbert Arenas, and I listen to usually former players sitting around nothing that resembles a sports desk; they’re just chilling. Talking about – not necessarily play-by-play – but they’re talking about it in a barbershop sense. But it’s way more engaging. I listen to Cam’ron and Mase talk about sports, tell their own personal stories, and relate them to the everyday man. Nobody wants to sit around with the highlights playing around them; it’s like, ‘Yo, watch the games on your own time.’ You got Cam’ron with chains on.”

Big AK Says Skip Bayless Caused The Fall Of ESPN

Skip Bayless ended Undisputed, his long-running Fox Sports sports talk show, in August. The show featured an original theme song by Lil Wayne. During the show’s eight-year run, Wayne appeared many times. Popular sports analyst Shannon Sharpe was Bayless’s former co-host before leaving for ESPN’s First Take with Stephen A. Smith in 2023. Skip and Stephen were also former co-hosts before they split in 2016. The two have discussed the break-up several times over the years.  

Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson is Friday, November 15, at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Netflix will present the brand’s first-ever live event worldwide on the streaming platform. Paul’s Most Valuable Promotions will present the event. The fight will feature a co-headliner in Amanda Serrano vs. Katie Taylor. There is no word if DJ Akademiks will attend the event yet.

The Warriors Released A New Track Featuring Saweetie, G-Eazy, P-Lo, And More To Celebrate The 2025 All-Star Weekend

by

The NBA will head to the Bay Area next year for All-Star Weekend. While the league will have a presence in a few different places, its two main events — All-Star Saturday Night and the All-Star Game — will set up shop at the Chase Center in San Francisco, which is the home of the Golden State Warriors.

It stands to reason that we’ll see some of the big names associated with the franchise involved in the festivities — Steph Curry, if I had to guess, is going to be an extremely busy man for a few days. And in the lead-up to the league making its way to California, a number of the biggest names in music from the Bay Area teamed up with the Warriors to release a new song in celebration of the All-Star Game going to San Francisco.

The track is titled “Players Holiday ‘25,” and features Saweetie, G-Eazy, P-Lo, LaRussell, Larry June, Kamaiyah, Thuy, and YMTK. It’s not the only release the team has in store for All-Star, as a full album, titled For The Soil, will come out in January. You can listen to the song — which is being released via the Warriors’ record label Golden State Entertainment — at the top of this post.

“The Warriors have been a big part of my journey, and it’s an honor to collaborate with Golden State Entertainment and some of the most iconic voices from the community to create something that represents the culture we live and breathe,” P-Lo said in a statement.

The 2025 NBA All-Star Game will take place on Sunday, Feb. 16.

LeBron James Gets Trolled Ruthlessly For Dream Involving Duke Basketball, Snoop Dogg, & Dr. Dre

by

Since becoming a face of the NBA, LeBron James, has always been under a lot of scrutiny. That’s not really something that should blow your mind. However, we aren’t necessarily talking about his career and performance on the court. Instead, we are referring to some of the things that comes out of his mouth. Whether it be interviews, press conferences, or on social media, the claims he has made are sometimes so blatantly ridiculous. For example, one of his more recent predictions he had surrounded the Migos. In 2010, LeBron James remembered when he first got to the Miami Heat and was bumping the former rap trio before people knew who they really were.

He claimed they were up next and that teammates were telling him to turn off their music in the locker room. Whether he just has poor recollection or loves to rile people up, James has always been teased for this behavior and had many rolling their eyes. More of the former is happening once again, according to AllHipHop, and it’s all going down on X (Twitter). This time it’s over an apparent dream that King James had recently, and it involves basketball coaching legend, Mike Krzyzewski and the duo of Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre. “Just woke up from having a dream I was playing for Duke for Coach K inside Cameron Indoor Stadium! It was INSANE in there. Told Coach K it was an honor to suit up for him and he said the same thing back to me. He’s such a LEGEND!”

LeBron James Draws A Bevy Of Reactions Online For His Dream

The next tweet reads, “Then….. It turned right into a concert. Snoop & Dre were the performers and they was doing the song “The Next Episode”. The roof inside Cameron damn near came off! Haha. Then my ⏰ went off and I woke up. 😱😁” This ideal dream that LeBron James claims to remember so vividly is getting teased to no end. Some of the reactions are pure comedy, with one user writing, “it’s crazy goat i had damn near the same dream last night😭” Another adds, “That’s a crazy dream😂😂sometimes in my dream you me and snoop are just hanging out having a good time.”

The Duke men’s basketball X page even took the time to respond, and they seemed to be down. “Lakers/Duke exhibition game/concert next year in Cameron?👑😈” Overall, Bron could have very well had this dream as he does know and have connections will all three individuals. However, the trend of these nonsensical claims and epiphanies from him will always hold a special place in people’s hearts due to it coming from someone like him.

by

Lizzo has been open about her weight-loss journey throughout the year. Speaking with The New York Times back in March, she explained how the progress has been slow but steady. “I’ve been methodical, losing weight very slowly,” she told the outlet. “I don’t really see it because if anyone who’s on a natural weight-loss journey knows, losing weight is actually the slowest thing in the world and you don’t really notice it until you notice it.”

Lizzo Fires Back At Antonio Brown

Check out Lizzo and Antonio Brown back and forth on social media below. It’s far from the first time the former NFL wide receiver has made headlines for his trolling online. In recent weeks, he also endorsed Donald Trump for president of the United States.

Lil Wayne isn’t this season’s Super Bowl Halftime Show performer, but the NFL announced he would be the weekly guest on the NFL GameDay Morning show. A known football fanatic, Weezy’s new job will team him with popular football correspondents to discuss weekly matchups and more.

At Lil Weezyana Fest, Weezy spoke on the Super Bowl again after reuniting with the Hot Boys. “I said to myself, ‘I want to be onstage for the Super Bowl one day, in front of my mom,” he said to the crowd. “And I worked my a** off to get that f**kin’ position. It was ripped away from me.” New Orleans would pay their respect to Weezy by issuing him the Key to the City and two official days.

Recently, Le’Veon Bell took to X to reveal one of the reasons he decided to vote for Donald Trump. “I don’t want my daughter to have to compete or share a locker room with men,” he wrote. This anti-trans rhetoric didn’t sit right with many and prompted one trans woman, Lex, to fire back. She shared screenshots of various DMs Bell previously sent her, requesting her phone number, asking if she was in town, and more.

“Spewing this rhetoric when…& yes this was on my nsfw page he knew I was a doll lol,” she wrote. Now, Bell has addressed Lex’s revelation, admitting to FaceTiming her and blocking her shortly after. According to Bell, he didn’t know Lex was trans, and no longer pursued her after learning she was.

LeBron James Responds To Rumors That He Spends $1.5 Million A Year On His Body

by

LeBron James, like many other legendary athletes, puts a lot of hard work and cash into maintaining his desired and necessary physical state and well-being. However, rumors persist about just how much money he spends on a “biohacking” health routine, especially given his longevity in the NBA. The Nike collaborator still pulls off impressive feats that keep him in conversation as a stellar player, but people’s skepticism is sometimes too spicy to deny. As such, the 39-year-old was recently asked about this during his appearance in the Netflix series Starting 5, and he had a pretty simple response to a question about the speculation that he blows a $1.5 million bag a year on this routine.

“I kind of just chuckle,” LeBron James remarked about these rumors. “That is a number that I will not disclose, but, more importantly, I think it’s just the time.” Writer Bill Simmons was among the first to speculate about this alleged $1.5 million back in 2016 concerning his health routine. Bronny James’ father’s regimen reportedly includes daily cryotherapy, red light therapy, hyperbaric chamber time, a nap at around mid-day, and low sugars and high carbs for his diet.

LeBron James Responds To “Biohacking” Spending Claims

Elsewhere, when it comes to the hip-hop world, LeBron James is in a very interesting position these days when it comes to the GOAT conversation. That’s because he seemed to pick a side between two contenders to the rap crown that he’s praised many times before. Well, at least that’s what Drake thinks, as the basketball superstar went to Kendrick Lamar’s Juneteenth concert following their explosive battle. Is this all just the result of social media speculation? Maybe. But the 6ix God did pettily unfollow LeBron, so they’re either toying with fan perceptions or they really had a rift. Who knows? Or rather, who cares?

Jokes aside, this isn’t the only recent debate that surged around LeBron James’ name. Fans issued split responses to his celebration of Big Meech’s release from prison, with some understanding the respect and others painting it as an endorsement of criminal behavior. It’s part of the difficult weapon of responsibility and public support that celebrities as big as Bron have to contend with… And another is people pocket-watching your health.

Jason Kelce clearly has some pretty major aspirations for this year’s version of his annual Christmas album. Earlier this month, fans of Kelce’s holiday project with his former Philadelphia Eagles teammates Lane Johnson and Jordan Mailata heard the first track off of their upcoming album A Philly Special Christmas Party, which featured Kelce teaming up with his brother, Travis Kelce, and Boyz II Men on the track “It’s Christmas Time (In Cleveland Heights).”

Kelce collaborated with another legendary artist for the latest track off of the upcoming release, as he recorded a duet with Fleetwood Mac singer Stevie Nicks. The track, a cover of Ron Sexsmith’s “Maybe This Christmas,” got teased on the project’s Instagram account over the last week and on the latest edition of the Kelce brothers’ podcast, and was officially unveiled on Friday.

“There are no words to describe how incredible it is to have Stevie Nicks on this record,” executive producer Conner Barwin said in a statement given to Rolling Stone. “There is so much emotion in this song, and it was thrilling to be with them in the studio and watch her and Jason connect, be creative together, and witness this beautiful song become a reality.”

A Philly Special Christmas Party will come out on Nov. 22, 2024, but if you’d like to listen to the new track, you can do that right here.
