Brittany Mahomes Makes “Sports Illustrated Swimsuit” Debut

February 8, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Brittany Mahomes, the philanthropist wife of Patrick Mahomes, has made her debut in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition. Mahomes, who had a brief collegiate and professional soccer career, donned a red cutaway one-piece for a shoot in Belize. “Owner of the Kansas City Current NWSL team, former pro athlete, wife and mother, Brittany emerges as the epitome of a modern-day powerhouse. Founder of the world’s first ever dedicated stadium for women’s sports, Brittany’s journey has surpassed all expectations, inspiring others with her tenacity and unyielding determination. We are proud to welcome her to the SI Swimsuit family where she will undoubtedly continue to empower women worldwide,” wrote SI Swimsuit editor M. J. Day.

Mahomes played soccer at UT-Tyler before spending the 2017 season with a third-division Icelandic team. After stepping away from pro sports, Mahomes launched a fitness brand and became a major investor in Kansas City’s NWSL franchise. She has been married to her husband since 2022 but the pair have dated since high school.

However, the future of Sports Illustrated remains unclear. In mid-January, Sports Illustrated informed its entire editorial staff that they would be laid off. According to a screenshot of the email staffers received on January 19, the parent company of SI‘s parent company, Authentic Brands Group, informed SI‘s parent company, the Arena Group, that it was revoking SI’s brand license. The future of the SI brand itself remains unclear. Arena Group acquired the publishing rights for SI from ABG in 2019. That marked SI‘s second owner in as many years. In 2018, the brand was sold by Meredith Publishing, who then sold to ABG in 2019.

SI employs nearly 1000 people, per the latest employment reports. Once the pinnacle of sports media, SI will now become the latest sports outlet to clean house. In October 2019, G/O Media executed mass layoffs at Deadspin. Meanwhile, Vox Media has levied several rounds of layoffs at SB Nation since the pandemic. This included entirely removing their hockey and soccer verticals in 2023. However, this is sadly a trend that will continue as private equity continues to acquire more and more legacy media brands.

Saweetie Is Here To Stay: Reveals Bay Area Mount Rushmore, Talks “Immortal Freestyle” & 49ers Super Bowl Theme

February 8, 2024 by newhiphopnews

In the past decade, we’ve witnessed Saweetie rise from freestyling in cars in Instagram videos to dominating pop culture. The Bay Area sweetheart admittedly hasn’t built quite the massive catalog just yet but her prominence, in her city and globally, is palpable. It’s what led to her collaboration with the San Francisco 49ers alongside P-Lo on “Do It For The Bay,” the team’s official Super Bowl anthem.

Evidently, “Do It For The Bay” is a full circle moment that hits especially close to home for Saweetie. This Sunday, the San Francisco 49ers will face off against the Kansas City Chiefs for the coveted Vince Lombardi Trophy in Las Vegas. Ahead of Game Day, Saweetie will help launch Smirnoff’s SMASH Vodka Soda (offered in four different flavors) at the first-ever Smirnoff SMASH Pickle Bowl. Smirnoff, the NFL’s Official Vodka Sponsor, will host the star-studded event on Saturday, February 10 from 2:30 pm – 4 pm PT at RedTail located at Resorts World. Saweetie and former NSYNC star Lance Bass partnered up as team Watermelon Lime and will face off against several high-profile celebrities, such as NFL Legend Vernon Davis and NFL commentator, Kay Adams.

Though she’s new to pickleball, Saweetie’s quite confident in what she’ll bring to the table on Saturday. “To be honest, I’ve never played pickleball but I grew up playing a lot of sports, so I’m pretty sure I can, I can learn it pretty quickly,” she tells HotNewHipHop. It’s this level of confidence and determination that has turned her into one of the most notable figures from the Bay Area, and quite frankly, allowed her to overcome adversity at every point. “Immortal Freestyle,” her latest release, speaks volumes about her mindset going into 2024. “I think that there have been several moments publicly and privately where I’ve just been, you know – a lot of people were questioning whether or not I was going to endure through those moments. That was my response, basically saying, like, ‘Yeah, I am and I’m here to stay,’” she says.

We recently caught up with Saweetie ahead of the Smirnoff SMASH Pickle Bowl to discuss the Super Bowl, what she expects from Usher’s halftime show and the Mount Rushmore of the Bay Area.

This interview has been edited and condensed for clarity.

Hot New Hip Hop: You linked up with Smirnoff for the inaugural Smirnoff SMASH Pickle Bowl alongside several other celebrities. On a scale of 1-10, how would you rate your pickleball skills?

Saweetie: To be honest, I’ve never played pickleball but I grew up playing a lot of sports, so I’m pretty sure I can, I can learn it pretty quickly.

Ahh, so it’s a fresh endeavor.

Definitely a fresh endeavor.

How do you do with new experiences in terms of trying out new sports and activities? Are you someone who thrives under pressure?

Definitely, and I’m really competitive, so I’m really excited to see what I can do with it.

Did they already tell you who you’re competing against?

There’s several people showing up so I’m pretty sure we’re gonna alternate.

In a hypothetical game of doubles, which of your rap peers would you call on as your partner?

Pickleball? I’m not sure, to be honest with you.

You’ve been a great brand partner and ambassador for a lot of companies over the years. Why did teaming up with Smirnoff make sense to you?

Well, I think it’s a great fusion of just sports, fashion – because my pickleball outfit is kind of cute – and just celebration. I felt like Smirnoff is a great company when it comes to being part of a great festivity. So, I feel like it’s a great fusion of of just all different industries coming into one.

You mentioned the outfit. Could you give us a little hint at what you’ll be rocking?

Well, I’ll definitely be in theme for the Smirnoff campaign. So, I’ll be in lime green and pink.

The upcoming Pickle Bowl comes after Smirnoff launched the Smirnoff SMASH Vodka Soda. Do you have a favorite flavor?

The watermelon lime.

By itself or do you mix it with something?

Oh, you know I love my concoctions. So, on the day of the event, I’ll probably be mixing up some drinks.

As you mentioned, you’re big on the concoctions. I’m wondering what’s the Saweetie specialty when it comes to Game Day food? Like, something that’s uniquely Saweetie.

Honestly, I’m really excited to see what kind of food that’s in the suite this year. But typically, they have the… what do you call it? The typical night game foods like hot dogs, burgers, and fries. So, there’s not too much I can make with that but I would recommend putting the fries on the burger. But, compared to what you guys have seen, I know that’s a light concoction. However, it’s always a pleasure seeing like some sushi in the suite because that lets me know that they got a budget and we like a big budget.

But when you’re at home on game day, is there anything, specifically, that you’d chef up?

Oh, for game day… I really like some crab with a seafood boil. But I have to eat like at the beginning of the game because if things start to get a little tense, my appetite goes away. My appetite is definitely tied to how my team is doing so Go Niners.

You and P-Lo connected with the 49ers for “Do It For The Bay.” How does it feel to be so tightly woven into the Bay Area’s culture these days, especially since you’re regarded as a global representative for your city? Not just from a hip-hop standpoint, either but in terms of modern-day Bay Area culture. How does it feel to work with these institutes that meant something to you growing up?

Honestly, sometimes it feels really surreal. When I had got the offer to make the theme for the playoffs, and now the Super Bowl song for my team, I was speechless. And the first person I called was P-Lo because I wanted to share the spotlight with somebody and because he is a producer, I felt like he was the perfect match for it. It’s like a dream come true because to become one of the people that people refer to as a Bay Area representative on a worldwide platform, it’s amazing.

Just to follow up on that, who is your Bay Area Mount Rushmore of rappers?

My top four – definitely, Mac Dre. My dad would play a lot of E-40 growing up so E-40. Three, I sampled two songs from Too $hort so definitely some Too $hort. And for my fourth…the Bay Area… I really got to think about that.

You can’t choose yourself, either. I know it’s usually the easiest route to take when asked these type of questions.

I feel like I got I feel like I got some more to accomplish before I slap myself on you know to Mount Rushmore.

If you couldn’t just choose one, who would be the fourth and fifth? They could rotate the fourth position.

I love me some Goapele, I feel like she did a lot for the Bay Area when we were kids. And for the fifth… I’m like flipping through my mind. I think I’m gonna leave it there for now.

One more thing, because I love to give me reasons. Because you know, the Bay Area has a very particular sound. And we’re often like, chastised for our sound and some people may say that we make local or regional music but what I love about Goapele, especially her song “Closer,” a lot of legendary rappers hopped on that because it was so infectious, not through the beat but just through her. So, shout out to Goapele.

Usher’s halftime performance is one of the most anticipated parts of the Super Bowl. Do you have a favorite halftime show?

My favorite halftime show of all time? … I know you only got a little bit of time, but I really be thinking, my bad. Honestly, I would have loved to see a Rolodex because I know there’s a lot more but personally, I love the Rihanna halftime show because I was there and I’m a big fan and my voice was gone. So that’s the most memorable halftime show to me because I was actually there in person.

Do you think Usher could top it this year?

I think each Super Bowl performance had a special moment, so I definitely think that he’s going to do that, especially since he’s such a multifaceted, talented artist. And I’m excited to say that I’m going to be there so I’ll definitely be able to witness that iconic performance in person.

Final question: it’s been almost been two years since you announced a release date for your debut album, Pretty B*tch Music. What’s the hold-up? Will we be seeing it drop in 2024?

Hopefully [laughs].

Is the “Immortal Freestyle” an indication of the direction you’re going in with the album?

I think the “Immortal Freestyle” was just a premise for how I felt this year. I think that there have been several moments publicly and privately where I’ve just been, you know – a lot of people were questioning whether or not I was going to endure through those moments. That was my response, basically saying, like, “Yeah, I am and I’m here to stay.”

February 8, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kim Kardashian is one of the biggest stars on the entire planet. Although some people don’t like to hear that, it is true. Overall, she is someone who can get millions of likes on an Instagram post. She could recommend a product and fans are going to buy it. Furthermore, she could start dating someone, and her fans are going to become a supporter of that person. Yesterday, some Kim K dating rumors actually surfaced online and they involve Baltimore Ravens star, Odell Beckham Jr.

According to these new rumors, Kardashian and Odell have actually been dating for quite some time. However, they have yet to go public, and they are actually considering doing so. This report kind of defeats the purpose of considering wanting to go public. After all, the cat is out of the bag now. Fans already know that something is up. Of course, the rumors could be false, but people online are already crafting up theories. Moreover, there are those who want this all to be true.

How Many Kids Does Odell Beckham Jr. Have?

February 8, 2024 by newhiphopnews

As a star athlete, Odell Beckham Jr. has many kids across the globe who look up to him. The wide receiver is renowned for his electrifying plays on the football field and has had an impressive professional career so far. However, beyond the headlines and highlight reels, Beckham Jr. has been navigating the complexities of fatherhood. A dedicated father, the player handles his parental duties with grace and determination.

As one of the most recognizable faces in the NFL, his journey as a father sheds light on the intersection of fame, responsibility, and family. Besides his exploits as a sportsman, Odell Beckham Jr. has been making headlines for a rumored relationship with Kim Kardashian. Although neither party has directly addressed the topic, their alleged relationship is trending, and being heavily discussed right now as the two are reportedly getting serious. Among the many questions the topic has brought up, people have wondered how many kids Odell Beckham has. The 31-year-old football player is relatively new to fatherhood, but he has embraced it wholeheartedly after welcoming his first and only child in 2021.

Odell Beckham Jr. is currently father to only one child, Zydn Beckham. Beckham Jr. and his former girlfriend Lauren Wood first announced that they were expecting on November 22, 2021. In the post, the couple finally revealed that their first child together would soon arrive. With palpable joy, Lauren Wood posted a photo of herself heavily pregnant, and posing with her then-boyfriend, Beckham Jr.

The maternity shoot was a cute surprise to their followers and elicited many congratulatory messages from fans. Equally excited, Odell Beckham Jr. left a cute comment of his own under the post. “Can’t wait, baby!” he wrote. Subsequently, on February 13, 2022, Odell Beckham Jr. became a Super Bowl champion, winning with the Los Angeles Rams. However, just a few days later, an even more astounding blessing arrived for the wide receiver as he became a first-time father. Zydn Beckham, Odell’s beloved son was born on February 17, 2022.

When he held his son in his arms, it was love at first sight for Odell Beckham Jr. Almost two years since that moment, he continues to dote on, and lovingly gush about his son. About a week after his kid’s birth, Odell Beckham took to Instagram to announce and celebrate the birth of his son. In addition to a heartwarming photo featuring mother, father, and child, Beckham Jr. wrote a long and beautiful caption. “THE biggest blessing I’ve ever had in my life arrived here on earth!,” he wrote about Zydn. “A moment I will never forget and cherish forever,” the player continued. “Zydn was born n at that moment I knew my life changed for the better.”

Speaking to PEOPLE in October 2022, Odell Beckham Jr. shared that his love for kids convinced him that he would become a father at some point. Actually experiencing being a father for the first time, he was filled with even more joy than he expected. “It was the biggest blessing of my life. I always knew that it would be, but it really hit different when I was actually holding him,” he said. The youngster will be turning 2 years old in just a few days. Throughout his time on Earth so far, he has been showered with love from both of his parents. While Beckham Jr. and Wood are no longer a romantic pair, they seem to be great co-parents to their son.

Jordan Poole Booed For 0-Point Game

February 8, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The tumultuous Wizards tenure of Jordan Poole continued as home fans booed him for a 0-point game against the Cavs. Poole went 0-5 from the field and 0-4 from three as the Wizards fell 114-106 for their 41st loss of the season. Poole did have 2 rebounds and 5 assists but that was far from enough to silence the frustrated home crowd. Kyle Kuzma and Corey Kispert combined for 51 points as the Wizards kept it close. Meanwhile, the Cavs were led by a 40-point performance from Donovan Mitchell to improve to 33-16.

After being traded to Washington, Poole has had a wild season. There have been flashy alley-oops to himself while down 20. He annoyed his teammates by calling his own shot multiple times in the preseason. However, he also simply epitomizes the mediocrity of a Wizards team that seemingly has no desire to improve. Putting up 15.6/2.3/3.6, he is the best player on a bad team but is not the “best player” in the same way that LeBron was the best player on those bad Cavs teams.

Kevin Garnett Says Jordan Poole “Does Not Belong In The League”

Meanwhile, it’s not just fans who are frustrated with Poole. Last November, Kevin Garnett also took aim at Poole. Speaking on his show on Showtime, Garnett spent several minutes roasting Poole, eventually saying “he does not belong in the league”. Garnett questioned Poole’s professionalism, as well as his myriad antics that have already occurred during the early weeks of the NBA season.

However, one person who seemingly has Poole’s back is Andre Iguodala. In a September podcast appearance with JJ Redick, Iguodala reflected on the less-than-ideal role that Poole had to play for the Warriors. In short, Iguodala summarized that the Warriors were built around Steph, Klay, and Draymond. Poole, who would often play off the bench, was expected to play without the freedom or the eccentricities afforded to the team’s Big Three. If Draymond was having a wild night with errant passes and the like, Poole had to be perfect. If Steph was cold from three, Poole had to be hot. In Iguodala’s eyes, Poole had to play clean-up to whatever the Big Three wasn’t doing on any particular night.

Bronny James Hits Three In Front Of Booing Crowd, But Fans Still Call Cap On His Skill

February 8, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Bronny James opened USC’s recent game against Cal with a three-pointer hit at the top of the arc. Furthermore, Bronny hit the shot despite prominent boos ringing out at Haas Pavillion. However, while Bronny’s diehard supporters claimed that Bronny was proving his god-like hype, other hoop fans weren’t as impressed. Bronny would go on to make just one other basket during the game, finishing with 5 points and 5 rebounds as USC lost 83-77. LeBron James, Bronny’s father, was in attendance for the game and happily embraced his song after the OT loss. Bronny played 28 minutes but continued to be a non-factor for the Trojans as they dropped to 3-9 in conference play and dead last in the Pac-12. USC was projected to finish 2nd in the preseason media poll.

While the life-changing circumstances of Bronny’s cardiac arrest last July must be considered, the son of one of basketball’s greatest players is simply not living up to the hype. He is currently averaging 5.8/3.0/2.5 a game and has completely fallen out of most NBA mock drafts. However, Bronny still commands a rabid fanbase who believe that he is poised to take over from his father in the NBA, despite the subpar basketball that he is playing.

Meanwhile, the topic of Bronny recently sparked a feud between Austin Rivers and Stephen Jackson. Jackson called Rivers “trash” and “a scrub” after Rivers spoke about Bronny on ESPN. It was a bizarre reaction given that Rivers’ point was that Bronny and LeBron shouldn’t play together so that Bronny had the chance to forge his own legacy in the NBA. “I don’t want to see Bronny play with [LeBron]… Him getting drafted & playing with his dad, I don’t want that negativity to come his way. He doesn’t deserve it… [He needs to] play somewhere where he can niche out his own identity,” Rivers told NBA Today.

Later, Rivers would respond to Jackson on X, formerly Twitter. “All smiles…I didn’t even have to fight my own battles with ignorance, yall corrected it for me!! Thank you for not siding with delusion. Have a blessed day,” Rivers wrote.

However, Usher isn’t the only one bringing out exclusive merch for the Super Bowl. Four-time Super Bowl champion Joe Montana recently teamed up with Drake and the NFL. The Hall of Famer posed in a letterman jacket decked out in the Super Bowl LVIII colors. Furthermore, Montana – who is looking absolutely great at 67 – also donned a cream sweater bearing the OVO logo. The NFL and Drake’s fashion brand have teamed up several times now, with the letterman jacket being a play on an existing product customized by team. However, it’s unclear if the Super Bowl variant will be publicly available.

Montana was chosen due to his unique connection to Super Bowl LVIII. The two-time MVP played for just two teams during his career – the 49ers and the Chiefs. While he won all four of his Super Bowls in the Bay Area, he did led the Chiefs to the AFC Championship game during his first season in Kansas City. The Super Bowl takes place on February 11 in Las Vegas. The Chiefs are hoping to become the first repeat Super Bowl champions since the Patriots in 2005.

Shannon Sharpe Reveals If He Thinks Cam Newton Will Return To The NFL

February 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Shannon Sharpe used an audience Q&A for the 4th And 1 podcast to reveal how he feels about Cam Newton, who was joining him on the show, wanting to be back in the NFL. Shannon’s point boiled down to one key factor – is Newton ready to sacrifice everything to back into the NFL? “You gotta train like Auburn Cam, when you didn’t have a cent. That’s the level you gotta train at that level. And that’s something that only Cam can answer.”

Unfortunately, for Cam, is appeared that he was not prepared to make that level of sacrifice. Instead, Newton tried to argue that he was allowed to have preferences and conditions about his return. Furthermore, he tried to mount the argument that his willingness to compromise on his role and expectations was an adequate replacement for sacrifice. The full clip can be watched below.

Cam Newton Reveals The One Team He’d Return To The NFL For

Meanwhile, Newton also recently revealed that a contract with the Atlanta Falcons would be the only way that he would return to the NFL. “Me having a family now, it’s always been about family and I don’t see myself leaving Atlanta. If it’s not Atlanta, I don’t want to [come back],” Netwon told Good Morning Football this week. Newton is originally from Atlanta but played college football in Florida and Alabama before being drafted by the Panthers.

Newton has not suited up in the NFL since 2021 when he briefly returned to the Carolina Panthers. Once seen as a generational talent, Newton’s career hit an ignominious end. A string of injuries limited Newton’s ability to harness his signature dual-threat capabilities. His 2021 campaign saw him go 0-5 as a starter as the Panthers rotated between Newton, Sam Darnold, and P.J. Walker. However, it’s unlikely that the Falcons, currently quarterbacked by second-year starter Desmond Ridder, will be offering Newto a contract. Atlanta has been floated as a potential landing spot for Russell Wilson.
