Justin Jefferson Accused Of Pressuring Ex To Get An Abortion

by

A New Jersey family court judge ruled that Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson is the father of a baby girl. The order, made by Judge Aldo J. Russo on June 26 and first obtained by the Daily Mail, states that an ‘interim child support obligation’ has been agreed to between Jefferson and the child’s mother, Andrea Galea. The judge’s order did not get into the specifics of their arrangement, but it did say that the parents will attend “private mediation.”

Justin Jefferson and Andrea Galea dated from 2019 to April 2023. The two of them went to LSU at the same time. Jefferson left after two seasons and a national championship to go to the NFL, quickly becoming a superstar wide receiver. Galea is a licensed attorney, earning her law degree from the University of Miami in 2023. Galea claimed that Jefferson impregnated her in April 2023. Jefferson responded by filing a lawsuit in January to prevent Galea from publicly sharing information about the child. Galea accused Jefferson of pressuring her to abort the child after she became pregnant. In texts obtained by the Daily Mail, Jefferson asked if she took Plan B, a pregnancy preventing pill. She decided against Plan B and an abortion, giving birth to baby Stella in December, according to her paternity lawsuit.

In their counter claims filed in January, both Justin Jefferson and Andrea Galea requested paternity testing. Galea also pushed for financial support and healthcare coverage from Jefferson. Since coming into the NFL, Jefferson has signed a four-year contract with the Vikings worth $140 million. Over $100 million of which is guaranteed. The requested paternity test confirmed that Jefferson was the father of Galea’s daughter.

The order also requires civil communications between the parents, who must deal directly with each other rather than speaking through any intermediaries. “All communication between the parties shall be in a non-derogatory, non-harassing manner only about the health, education, and well-being of the minor child,” said Russo. “A party receiving a communication shall respond to that communication within 6 hours or less.” Hopefully, Justin Jefferson and Andrea Galea resolve their dispute so that their daughter can live a drama-free life.

Kobe Bryant’s Father, Joe Bryant, Dies At 69 After Suffering A Massive Stroke

by

Joe Bryant, the father of late NBA legend Kobe Bryant, has reportedly passed away at the age of 69. La Salle head coach Fran Dunphy confirmed to the Philadelphia Inquirer on Tuesday that Joe had recently suffered a massive stroke. His death comes over four years after the tragic passing of his son and granddaughter Gigi, who both died in a helicopter accident in January 2020.

Joe was a basketball star in his own right, prior to his son becoming one of the greatest ever. He made a name for himself as a player for both Bartram High School and La Salle in Philadelphia. The Golden State Warriors ended up drafting him in the first round back in 1975 before selling his rights to the 76ers that same year. He spent four seasons with the team before joining the Houston Rockets for a stretch. Eventually, he found continued success overseas, where he played primarily in Italy.

While Joe and Kobe were close throughout his childhood and early in his NBA career, their relationship eventually became strained later in life. Joe never made a public comment about his son’s death and faced backlash from fans after listing Kobe’s first championship ring for auction. Speaking with ESPN back in 2016, Kobe described his relationship with his parents as “sh*t.” He explained: “I say [to them], ‘I’m going to buy you a very nice home, and the response is ‘That’s not good enough’? Then you’re selling my sh*t?”

Further details on Joe’s passing have yet to be made available. Be on the lookout for further updates on the Bryant family on HotNewHipHop.

Skip Bayless Is Out At FS1

by

Skip Bayless is no longer part of FS1. The co-host of the Undisputed has severed ties with the network after eight years. According to the New York Post, Bayless’ final episode will air sometime during the fall. His departure marks the end of an era, but it is not an altogether surprising announcement. Skip Bayless has made his discontent with FS1 clear over the years. To such an extent, in fact, that he complained about his co-hosts on the air.

During a 2023 episode of The Undisputed, Bayless grew frustrated by the chatter of his three co-hosts, Richard Sherman, Keyshawn Johnson and Michael Irvin. The veteran sports analyst took a backseat for most of the conversation. That being said, he made his frustrations clear toward the end of the segment. “I don’t know how closely you watched their games, but I can,” he told his peers. “We don’t have time because you guys talk too much.” He then told Johnson, point blank, that he talked “too much.”

Skip Bayless Spent Eight Years On The Network

The writing was on the wall for Bayless when his original co-host left the show in 2023. Shannon Sharpe walked away from The Undisputed and FS1 due to tension with Bayless. Tellingly, part of the draw of the show was seeing Bayless and Sharpe clash with one another. The absence of the latter was a blow that the show’s never fully recovered from. Ratings declined, and Skip Bayless struggled to find a groove in the revolving roster of guest hosts.

Of course, the alternative was worse. Skip Bayless and Shannon Sharpe were frequently at each other’s throats during the show’s peak. The latter admitted on The Stephen A. Smith Show that he got so mad during one segment that he considered attacking Bayless. “I remember going home, calling my sister,” Sharpe stated. “I called my brother… It took a lot. It took a lot for me not to put my hands on [Bayless]. It actually did.” Skip Bayless has not yet commented on his exit from FS1. New York Post claimed that the analyst referred them to FOX Sports, who declined to make a statement.

The Home Run Derby National Anthem Was Such A Trainwreck It Had People Wondering If It Was A Prank

by
ingrid andress
MLB

The start of Major League Baseball’s All-Star festivities arrived on Monday night at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, where eight of the league’s best hitters were set to compete in the Home Run Derby.

However, before the Derby could begin, they had Ingrid Andress sing the national anthem and, well, it did not go well.

There are bad anthems and then there are anthems that get remembered forever for how bad they are. This, unfortunately for Andress, likely falls into the latter category alongside infamous renditions by Fergie, Carl Lewis, Roseanne Barr, and others who have either butchered or taken significant artistic liberties with the anthem. It’s not abundantly clear what happened here to cause things to go this badly, but people in attendance and watching on TV were completely dumbfounded, with many wondering if this was all some elaborate prank.

Folks also immediately compared it to some of those disastrous sports anthems of the past, with the Fergie anthem the most recent example, as Draymond Green cracking during her All-Star rendition being an all-timer. For the Andress anthem, Alex Bohm starred in the Draymond role as he couldn’t hold back a confused smirk while things spiraled downhill.

Bronny James Wins Call Of Duty Tournament During NBA Summer League

by

Bronny James won a Call of Duty tournament over the weekend during the NBA’s Summer League in Las Vegas. The tournament appeared to feature NBA players and NBA hopefuls, as Charlotte Hornets player Grant Williams placed second overall. For his win in the Modern Warfare III tournament, he received a Call of Duty championship belt and a $10,000 prize.

Bronny James is no stranger to the gaming industry. He previously livestreamed on Twitch, and though his account has been dormant for years, he still has over 600 thousand followers. James was also previously a member of esports organization FaZe Clan’s celebrity wing, joining in 2020. FaZe Clan came into popularity over a decade ago because of their ability to hit “trick shots” on the popular Call of Duty games of the time. He made the cover of Sports Illustrated with the team in 2021 with other members of the team, becoming one of the youngest athletes to grace the cover of the magazine.

Bronny James Wins Call Of Duty Tournament During Summer League

Call of Duty is famously very popular among athletes, so Bronny James being good at and enjoying playing the game is not surprising. Many NBA players have spoken about being avid gamers, as it provides them with something to do in their downtime, away from the daily grind that comes with being a professional athlete. His father LeBron James recently previewed the upcoming EA Sports College Football 25 game on a livestream with longtime friend Frankie Walker, blowing him out while controlling Ohio State University. LeBron is also a longtime Madden player, beating his Lakers teammates in tournaments during the NBA bubble, so he and his son are both good at their video games of choice.

In a recent interview with ESPN, LeBron stated that he would have supported Bronny in any endeavor he chose to embark on and mentioned gaming as one of those endeavors. Gaming is clearly big in the James household, and in Bronny’s case, it became an important part of his public identity long before he even knew he’d be playing in the NBA. As most rookies do, Bronny has struggled in the Summer League so far, though his defensive instincts and playmaking have received early praise from his peers and pundits alike. Hopefully, he gets it going on the court in the same way that he has off the court.

Gilbert Arenas Argues Why LeBron James’ Bronny Push Has Made Insecure Fathers Jealous

by

Gilbert Arenas appeared on DJ Vlad’s YouTube channel to discuss a variety of topics. One question that arose was about Bronny James, son of Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James. The Lakers drafted Bronny with the 55th overall pick. Next season, he and LeBron will be the first father-son duo in NBA history. The pick garnered a mixed reaction, with some praising the significance of the moment. Others made nepotism accusations, arguing that if the Lakers didn’t draft him, no one else would have.

Gilbert Arenas offered a different perspective, explaining that Bronny likely had other interested teams if agent Rich Paul had to make phone calls dissuading front offices from selecting him. Paul threatened to send Bronny to play in Australia if any other team drafted him. That move allowed the Lakers to draft him without fear of him being selected earlier. LeBron, who does not have many years as an NBA player left, will mentor his son as he navigates the early years as a professional athlete. Arenas also argued that any criticism levied towards LeBron for ensuring his son a spot on an NBA roster stems from insecure fathers wishing they did more for their children.

Gilbert Arenas Reacts To Nepotism Accusations Against LeBron James and Los Angeles Lakers

“Fathers have passed on their businesses, their teams, to their kids, and no one says anything. So, the fact that he used his leverage to get his son on the team is a problem? That’s insecurity right there,” said Arenas. On the latest episode of his Gil’s Arena podcast, Arenas was asked what the expectations should be for Bronny’s rookie season. He replied that Bronny will be a spectator, jokingly saying that he’ll be on the sideline yelling “Go Daddy Go!” while LeBron is on the court. He also said that Bronny will use all his time around the team to learn how to be great.

Gilbert Arenas and LeBron James had battles on the court, and now Arenas is showing support for James and his family in a media role, both on his own podcast and in his interview with DJ Vlad. James, who’s playing in the Olympics this summer, will be entering his 22nd season in the NBA in October. He is still one of the best players in the NBA, just a few months shy of his 40th birthday. The player that Bronny will be remains to be seen. He has high potential, and he will do everything he can to be the best player possible.

Cam’ron & Ma$e Rip J Prince Apart Amid Shakur Stevenson Beef

by

There is a new installment in the Cam’ron & Ma$e versus Shakur Stevenson beef, as the latter’s manager, J Prince, fires back. If you pay attention to the boxing world, you know that the young and speedy fighter has been trading words with the It Is What It Is panel. This heated debate’s origins trace back to last weekend after the still undefeated lightweight boxer defended his title against the underdog, Artem Harutyunyan. Stevenson went on to win by judge’s decision after showing off his incredible defense and tactical approach. However, a lot of viewers of the violent sport are not too keen on his style, including Ma$e and Cam’ron.

Ma$e started things after saying that he does not want to see Stevenson fight anyone ever again during the segment on their show. It got around to the WBC athlete, and that kicked off the beef. As we mentioned, it is still going, as J Prince is now getting involved, according to AllHipHop. If you are wondering why a musical artist manager is speaking on a boxer’s behalf, it is because Stevenson has been a client of his since late 2016. Prince clapped back at the podcast duo by sharing that his last match was the most watched boxing event of the year.

In the caption, Prince wrote, “NUMBERS DONT LIE HATERS DO”. He then went on to @ the talk show, “And to all of you haters who want to escalate that hate outside of the ring I’m Shakur’s manager and I handle all his business outside of the ring. In other words, Cam and Mase I will fade all his shots and take all bets”. However, Cam’ron and Ma$e are standing firm on their position. They returned the favor by resharing an interview with Top Rank‘s Bob Arum explaining why Stevenson’s methods do not attract the eyes. It Is What It Is also had some choice words for J Prince, stating, “THE FIGHT WAS “FREE 99” SO YEA #’s DO LIE SOME TIMES, N****S MAD AT US FOR SAYING WHAT EVERYBODY ELSE SAYING INCLUDING THE PEOPLE WHO #SHAKUR WAS SIGNED TO “FOH”.

What are your thoughts on J Prince, Cam’ron, and Ma$e continuing their back-and-forth surrounding Shakur Stevenson? Whose side are you on during this ongoing debate? Do you see this escalating past their Twitter fingers spat? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments.

Will Smith Stepped Back Into ‘The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air’ Days As He Performed Its Theme Song At La Velada del Año IV

Now, this is a story all about how, Will Smith is extending his return to music. Last month, the Bad Boys: Ride Or Die star made his shocking return on stage at the BET Awards with the track “You Can Make It,” which featured Kirk Franklin.

Today (July 13), Smith keep things old-school during his set at La Velada del Año IV inside of Spain’s Santiago Bernabéu Stadium. Instead of performing his latest track, Smith treated the boxing fans to a mashup of The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air theme song and his 2005’s single “Switch.”

Although most new fans are more familiar with the series’ reboot, Bel Air, between 1990 and 1996, The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air dominated TV.

“Blessed are the ears of those who can hear Will Smith sing the intro to ‘The Fresh Prince of Bel Air’ live,” wrote one user (roughly translated to English).

“I love that he’s on stage again and just having fun. This is what legends deserve,” penned another.

Another pointed about how great of a selection Will Smith was, given the night was all about influencers hitting the ring.

“The ultimate influencer Will Smith was a good fit,” wrote one user.

Ironically, despite the record’s popularity, it wasn’t actually supposed to be released. In June 2022, during an interview WTOP, DJ Jazzy Jeff, Smith’s longtime friend, collaborator, and the song’s writer, made the confession.

“I thought we were making a filler,” he said. “I thought this would be a thing they would use until they figured out what the real theme song was. We did it, I mixed it, and that’s the same thing that plays on television today. That still trips me out. It never changed.”

Well, clearly, producers saw the same special quality listeners have clung onto for so man y decades to follow.
