Anthony Davis Trolled For Being A 30-Year-old Kai Cenat Viewer

February 5, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Anthony Davis is someone who is constantly facing the wrath of Los Angeles Lakers fans. Overall, this is because he is injured a lot of the time. Furthermore, there are people out there who believe he hasn’t been worthy of his contract. His performances are a bit inconsistent, and the Lakers have not been what fans would have hoped. Sure, AD has helped the team get an NBA title and even an in-season tournament win. However, there are still plenty of ungrateful stans out there, ready to denigrate his every move.

For instance, in a win against the New York Knicks the other night, AD only had 12 points. Although he was superb defensively, fans got after him for his performance. On Sunday night, AD seemed to be relaxing ahead of his game against the Charlotte Hornets tonight. He was watching Kai Cenat, and some fans noticed that he gifted subs to those in the chat. However, LeBron fans began roasting AD for his choice of entertainment.

Anthony Davis Donates

In the various tweets down below, you can see that Davis caught a lot of heat for enjoying what some believe is juvenile content. For instance, the main criticism was that 30-year-old men should not be watching Kai Cenat. Cenat himself is 22 years old, and his content is mostly consumed by teenagers. Consequently, some feel as though Davis is not a “serious individual” by watching this kind of stuff. Of course, these are criticisms made, ironically enough, by teenagers hiding behind NBA player profile pictures. Needless to say, Davis and other Lakers players can’t do much without being criticized.

LeBron Fans Are Distraught

What do you think of AD watching Kai Cenat? Are the fans right about him being too old for this content, or is that just ridiculous? Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world. We will continue to keep you informed on all of your favorite artists and their upcoming releases.

February 4, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Patrick Mahomes Sr, the father of Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes, has been arrested on a DWI charge. TMZ first reported that the former MLB pitcher had been arrested on his third DWI charge in Texas on Saturday night. He previously spent 40 days in jail, serving his time on the weekends, for a charge levied back in 2019. Mahomes Sr spent nearly a decade as a major league pitcher in the MLB, playing between 1992 and 2003. His son was born in 1995 while Mahomes Sr was playing for the Twins. However, after 2003, Mahomes Sr spent several years as a minor league journeyman. In 2019, his jersey was retired and he was inducted into the club Hall of Fame for the Sioux Falls Canaries.

The news comes a week before Mahomes II is due to play in the Super Bowl against the 49ers. Prior to the Conference Championship game, Mahomes Sr had joked that he wouldn’t sit next to Taylor Swift.

Meanwhile, Patrick Mahomes II has responded to the viral “dad bod” meme that arose in the wake of the Chiefs AFC Championship win last weekend. “Yoooo why they have to do me like that!?!?!? #DadBodSZN,” Mahomes wrote on X, formerly Twitter. The QB was responding to footage from Inside the NFL that went viral amid the Chiefs win. The footage showed a shirtless Mahomes celebrating in the locker room and the angle gave the star player a bit of a gut.

This of course went wild on NFL socials, with fans eagerly sharing the images and changing their handles to things such as “Fatty Patty” and similar names. The Chiefs leaned on their defense to shut out the Ravens in the AFC Championship Game. Mahomes threw for 241 yards and a touchdown in the win.

Antonio Brown Crowns Celina Powell “Cracker Of The Month” After She Shows Off A Dubious Face Tattoo Of Himself

February 4, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Antonio Brown has crowned infamous Instagram star Celina Powell CTESPN‘s “Cracker of the Month” after she got a tattoo of the wide receiver’s face on her cheek. Powell is of course best known for her wild IG antics, alleged relationships with a host of hip-hop stars, and recently spent significant time in prison for a 2022 parole violation.

Fans online were quick to roast Powell alongside Brown. “if you get a tattoo on your face you have instantly lowered your rating out of ten by 6 points. She just went from a 4 to a -2. amen,” one X user wrote. Many people also pointed Powell’s pornographic history. This included an appearance on Plug Talk, the sexually-loaded podcast from Adam22 and Lena The Plug. However, some people also went after Brown, suggesting he had targeted Powell because she would haven’t sex with him.

Meanwhile, Brown continued his streak of general weirdness with an appearance on the popular YouTube show 20 Girls Versus… During a conversation with one of the contestants, Brown asked her if she could “suck a golf ball through a coffee straw”. The girl was thoroughly confused, as was the show’s host. What Brown meant to say was “can you suck a gof ball through a water hose”, a line from the film Full Metal Jacket.

It’s bit the first time that Brown has gotten weird about romance. Last year, Brown asked people not to “spin his words” after namedropping Keke Palmer in a series of raunchy tweets. “These all are rap lyrics. Please do not spin my words. Spin your money . Ima Rappa,” Brown wrote a few hours after a collection of tweets went viral. The posts in question referred to running a woman “like the Olympics”, referring to the colloquial group sex of “running a train”. The one that got people in arms concerning Palmer read “I don’t drink Arnold PALMERS I sip Keke Palmer Ya dig”.

Antonio Brown Trolls Doc Rivers After Slow Start to Bucks Tenure

Meanwhile, Brown has continued to promote his CTESPN brand with more inflammatory posts on social media. This time, he went after Bucks coach Doc Rivers. Brown posted a fake Bleacher Report image showing a despondent Rivers with the quote “I wouldn’t wish this on anyone” written underneath. Rivers’ tenure in Milwaukee has gotten off to a slow start, the team starting 0-2 following the midseason coaching change.

However, reaction to Brown’s post was mixed. While several people expressed their amusement at the post, many others noted their fatigue at the young CTESPN brand. “CTESPN is lame,” one irate fan wrote. CTESPN, which Brown now tags many of his posts with, is the name of his podcast and media brand that he is supposedly starting with Chandler Jones. However, very little has appeared beyond an X account and a hashtag almost exclusively used by Brown.

Caitlin Clark Closing In On NCAA History

February 4, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Caitlin Clark is on the precipice of history. The Iowa Hawkeyes senior is now just 66 points away from setting a new women’s NCAA record for career points. After dropping 38 against Maryland, Clark moved her tally to 3462 points. The current women’s NCAA record is held by former Washington Husky Kelsey Plum and sits at 3527. Earlier this week, Plum told reporters that she was “excited” to see Clark break the record that she set in 2017.

However, there are two more scoring records firmly within Clark’s reach. First is the women’s record for major college basketball. That mark stands at 3649 and dates back to the pre-NCAA days of the AIAW. Then there is the all-time NCAA record, held by LSU legend Pete Maravich. Pistol Pete’s mark sits at 3667. Clark is currently averaging 32.4 points per game. If Clark matches her average across Iowa’s final seven regular-season games, she will close out conference play with 3739 points. Once all postseason games are accounted for, Clark could set the record at close to 4000 points.

Clark Still Coy About Draft Declaration

However, despite her historic season, no one is quite sure if Clark will be headed to the WNBA Draft this year. Clark is the presumptive No. 1 pick in the draft and would join former South Carolina standout Aliyah Boston in Indiana if chosen. However, before the season, Clark revealed that her mind wasn’t fully made up yet. “I’m going to know when I need to know. I think it’s very similar to my college decision. It’s like I’m in the recruiting process again. It’s really not something I think about every day or let weigh on me. I’m focused on helping this team be the best they can be. The biggest thing is I’m just going to trust my gut. I’m not going to do a lot of research on what’s better. I’m going to trust my gut and go with that,” Clark said.

Clark, who turns 22 in February 2024, is part of the final class of players who can declare for a fifth year of eligibility due to the COVID-19 pandemic. She has been one of the best, if not the best, players in women’s college basketball during her time at Iowa. She won National Player of the Year last year and was second in scoring average as well as first in assists and made threes. Players have until 48 hours after their final game of the season to declare for the draft.

Jason Kelce Defends NFL Media’s Coverage Of Taylor Swift: “She’s A World Star”

February 3, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Jason Kelce says he has no issue with the NFL media’s coverage of Taylor Swift. He discussed his brother Travis’ relationship with Swift with Caleb Noe, a reporter for Cincinnati ABC affiliate WCPO 9, in a recent interview.

“The attention is there because the audience wants to see it,” Jason said. “I mean, if people didn’t want to see it, they wouldn’t be showing it. I know that. She’s a world star. She’s the quintessential artist right now in the world, singer-songwriter, immensely talented, unbelievable role model for young women across the globe. So I think that the NFL would probably be foolish not to, you know, show her and be a role model for all the young girls out there.”

Throughout the season, Swift has been in attendance at numerous Kansas City Chiefs games in support of her boyfriend, Travis. In turn, the cameras, as well as the NFL’s social media pages, have often shifted their focus to the pop star. Check out Jason’s opinion on the situation below.

LeBron James Dodges Questions About Next Season

February 3, 2024 by newhiphopnews

LeBron James had a very simple answer when asked if he had thought about what he was going to do with his player option year for next season – “No.” The veteran star gave the blunt answer following a Lakers shootaround ahead of their marquee clash against the Knicks. LeBron has a $51.4 million player option for the 2024/25 with a late-July opt-in deadline. Since that deadline comes a few days after the NBA Draft, many pundits believe LeBron will wait to see if and where his son Bronny is drafted.

However, the news comes a day after LeBron’s agent shut down speculation that LeBron could be dealt at the trade deadline. “LeBron won’t be traded, and we aren’t asking to be,” Paul said in response to growing speculation that LeBron might be leaving the Lakers midseason. Of course, LeBron hasn’t helped quiet the rumors. Following a loss to the Lakers earlier this week, LeBron posted an hourglass emoji to social media.

Stephen A. Smith Wants The Knicks To Trade For LeBron James

However, Paul’s comments about his biggest client haven’t stopped people from making their trade pitches regardless. Stephen A. Smith has caused a stir after using a segment on First Take to pitch a deadline trade between his Knicks and the Lakers to acquire LeBron James. Smith’s pitch is more based on the vibes of “LeBron at MSG” rather than how LeBron would actually make the Knicks a better team. Smith’s Knicks are currently in the East and are riding a six-game winstreak. However, they recently lost the team’s second scorer, Julius Randle, until at least after the All-Star Game.

Ahead of tonight’s game against the Knicks, LeBron was asked whether he had ever considered what it would be like to have MSG as a home court. “During my free agency period in 2010, it was one of the teams that I looked at. So I’ve had that thought in my career. However, he also made it clear that his focus is the Lakers for the time being. “I’m very proud of our efforts in Boston. Those guys stepped up and played exceptional basketball. Beautiful to see. Beautiful to watch. If we can play some good basketball, string a couple wins together, and not be so Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde on any given night, then we’ll be OK,” LeBron said.

Lewis Hamilton Finally Speaks On Shock Ferrari Move

February 3, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Lewis Hamilton has finally addressed the news of his shock move to Ferrari for the 2025 Formula One season. “I feel incredibly fortunate, after achieving things with Mercedes that I could only have dreamed of as a kid, that I now have the chance to fulfil another childhood dream. Driving in Ferrari red,” Hamilton said in a lengthy post on X, formerly Twitter.

However, Hamilton also acknowledged it was a bittersweet moment. “Mercedes has been a huge part of my life since I was 13 years old, so this decision has been the hardest I’ve ever had to make. I’m incredibly proud of all that we’ve achieved together and I’m very grateful for the hard work and dedication of everyone I have worked with over the years and of course Toto, for his friendship, guidance and leadership. Together we have won titles, broken records and become the most successful Driver-Team partnership in F1 history. And of course I cannot forget Niki who was a huge supporter and who I still miss everyday,” Hamilton wrote. Since joining F1 in 2007, Hamilton has always been involved with Mercedes in one form or another.

Fans Expect Chaos From Lewis Hamilton Ferrari Move

It’s been a crazy few days which have been filled with a whole range of emotions.

But as you all now know, after an incredible 11 years at Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team, the time has come for me to start a new chapter in my life and I will be joining Scuderia Ferrari in 2025.

I… pic.twitter.com/ysie0XxAFe

— Lewis Hamilton (@LewisHamilton) February 3, 2024

Meanwhile, fans are already preparing themselves for a chaotic 2025 season. A wave of memes erupted after news of the move broke. Amidst the fantasy of fans were scenes of Hamilton fighting with the technical crew at Ferrari. Other fantasies well as tense confrontations with his current boss, Toto Wolf. There was also some thought spared to Ferrari fans. Many were obviously confused about the prospect of their biggest rival joining the team.

However, much of the shock stems from the fact that the move is completely unexpected. Hamilton himself had publicly laughed off any notion of such a move as recently as last year. But it appears that Ferrari chairman and long-time Hamilton admirer John Elkman had been persistent in his pursuit of the seven-time world champion over the past few months. Frederic Vassuer, who helped Hamilton win GP2 (Now Formula Two) in his youth, is also believed to have played a major role in securing the move.

Travis Kelce Haircut Is A Viral Trend, But Black Creators Aren’t Happy About The Coverage

February 3, 2024 by newhiphopnews

A New York Times report about Travis Kelce’s haircut becoming a viral trend has left several prominent Black media members unhappy with how Kelce is being portrayed.”The NYT thinks that Travis Kelce invented the fade When you have zero cultural competency on your staff, this is how you end up with stories like this, and explaining swag surfin,’ which is at least 15 or years old,” wrote journalist Jemele Hill on X.

As Hill noted, The Times referred to “The Fade”, a staple of Black fashion since it first grew to popularity in the militarized culture of the 1940s and 50s, as “The Travis Kelce”. And while cultural markers do grow and adopt and maybe it’s unreasonable for a 14-year-old Chiefs fan to know it’s a fade and not the Kelce, the 172-year-old New York Times should absolutely know better.

Taylor Swift Co-Opts Black Dance Moves…Again

However, as Hill mentioned, it’s not just Travis Kelce who is pushing this trend. Explainer articles about “Swag Surfin” have popped up after Swift was seen pulling the dance move at the AFC Championship Game. In this case, an article from The Sporting News called it “the Chiefs’ viral dance celebration”. Swag Surfin dates back to 2009 and the F.L.Y. song of the same name. But the co-opting of Black-created dance moves is not a new thing. The Wikipedia page for “The Griddy” features two images of white people doing the dance, despite the creator being Black and a Black NFL player have been the one to further popularize it.

Furthermore, it’s not the first time that Swift specifically has been involved in discussions of cultural appropriation. Swift received a great deal of backlash for the music video of her 2014 hit “Shake If Off”. The “joke” of the video is that Swift is trying and failing to replicate dance moves such as twerking. However, it’s much more again to lampshading – simply pointing out that the self-awareness of an action does not excuse the action itself.
