She instructed Che to read from a list of jokes she had prepared for the show, which all poked fun at the comedian.

“This year, Caitlin Clark broke the record for 3-pointers in a single season and I have 3-pointers for Michael Che,” he said. “One, be. Two, funnier. Three, dumbass.” She finished the segment by giving a shoutout to “Sheryl Swoopes, Lisa Leslie, Cynthia Cooper, the great Dawn Staley, and my basketball hero, Maya Moore.” She added: “These are the women that kicked down the door so I could walk inside.

by

Cam’ron went after Caitlyn Jenner during the latest episode of his and Mase’s It Is What It Is show. After the NFL legend passed away at the age of 76, earlier this week, Jenner wrote on Twitter: “Good Riddance.” Simpson was a controversial figure for decades following the infamous 1995 acquittal for the murder of his ex-wife and one of her friends. Despite this, he made frequent appearances on Cam and Mase’s show.

“I don’t understand how n****s is still convicting n****s [when] they won the case,” Cam said on Friday. “I seen muthafuckin’ Caitlyn Jenner write some sh*t — ‘Good riddance.’ Caitlyn Jenner, you killed n****s in Calabasas [while] talking ’bout paparazzi was chasing you. And you was Bruce! Nothing to do with transgender sh*t or nothing like that, but I’m just trying to say the paparazzi wasn’t on Bruce to where you had to be running to kill n****s. You ain’t Princess Di[ana], n***a. The fuck you mean the paparazzi was on you, n***a?”

Cam concluded: “You killed n****s and you paid n****s $800,000 because you was wrong. If you wasn’t wrong, you would’ve fought it. You killed n****s, admitted to killing n****s and then paid n****s becasue you killed n****s.” He was referencing the 2015 car crash Jenner was involved in that claimed one life. Check out his and Mase’s full remarks below.

In response to people bringing up the fatal car crash, Jenner wrote on Twitter: “I know you all think it’s cute to compare a fatal car accident (with multiple vehicles involved) to a BRUTAL MURDER… But Remember… OJ said something to the effect of… I could kill her (Nicole) and get away with it bc I’m #OJSimpson.” Be on the lookout for further updates on Cam’ron and OJ Simpson on HotNewHipHop.

Kevin Durant Blasts Fat Joe For Claiming NBA Star “Almost Got Jumped” After Iconic Rucker Park Game

by

When you think of legendary moments in professional sports, let alone the NBA, what comes to mind? For many fans of the game, Kevin Durant’s unreal performance at the hallowed Rucker Park near Harlem, New York is one of them. The story goes that he dropped 66 points, which led his team to an unforgettable 99-93 victory. It went down during the 2011 lockout season and it will forever go down as one of the most unstoppable games that a professional has ever put on. The reason it is making waves nearly 13 years later is due to a retelling of the story by New York rap legend Fat Joe.

The longtime New York Knicks fan was a guest on Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart’s podcast, Roomates Show, according to HipHopDX. The current Knicks’ stars let him have the floor and Fat Joe wound up revealing a never before heard part of that game. “Kevin Durant scored like 82 points in the third quarter. He don’t like me telling this story. They chased him out the Rucker, like they wanted to beat him up. He whipped their a** so bad that they wanted to literally beat him up out there,” Joe said.

However, KD almost immediately called out his supposed bluff on X, replying to the clip, “Another podcast lie. It was nothing but respect and love out there that night, didn’t feel unsafe for one second.” Joe stood his ground though, hilariously taunting him back, “I was there he knows I’m not lying 62 points in 3 quarters why was the game stopped it’s all love all i did was big him up ‘GREATEST STORY TELLER IN THE GAME.’” Whoever’s side you believe, we are just happy this moment exists in basketball lore.

What are your thoughts on Kevin Durant saying Fat Joe lied about the fight at Rucker Park? Who do you believe more and why? Is this one of the greatest basketball moments in the history of the sport? NBA game or not, is this one of the best performances ever? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section.

Cam’ron And Mase Pay Tribute To OJ Simpson: “Thank You Uncle O”

by

Cam’ron and Mase have rebranded themselves as podcasters. The titans of New York rap have found tremendous success with their sports talk show It Is What It Is, and part of their success stemmed from their ability to book huge guests. The first guest they ever booked? O.J. Simpson. The controversial NFL star was actually one of the most frequent co-hosts on It Is What It Is, which meant his recent passing at age 76 hit the show hard. Cam and Mase took to Instagram to pay their respects.

The duo posted a montage of It Is What It Is episodes featuring O.J. Simpson, along with a caption that expressed their sadness. “We just want to say thank you to Uncle O for gracing us with your presence,” they wrote. “You were definitely one of a kind, you became Uncle O to use cause it was like having a real uncle around. You were very funny and down to Earth.” Cam and Mase then detailed the circumstances in which they first linked up with Simpson. Unbeknownst to longtime listeners, the “Juice” was one of the first co-hosts that were ever considered for the show.

Cam’ron And Mase Praised O.J. For His Humor

“When we signed our deal the first co-host we thought about having was Uncle O,” they revealed. “We said oh we gone break the internet with #OJ and that we did. You helped make our show 10x better and everyone loved you.” Cam’ron and Mase concluded their heartfelt message by giving thanks to Simpson for his insight and his willingness to poke fun at himself. “We will cherish these last memories we were able to share with you,” the duo added. “You will forever be apart of the It Is What It Is family.”

Unsurprisingly, the episode of It Is What It Is that aired April 12 (two days after Simpson’s passing) was dedicated to him. Cam’ron, Mase, Treasure “Stat Baby” Wilson and special guest Maurice Clarett spoke at length about the NFL star’s impact on the show. They also praised his sports acumen and his ability to speak candidly and convincingly on the subject of football.

O.J. Simpson’s family confirmed his death via X (formerly Twitter). They are asking that the public “respect their wishes for privacy and grace” at this time.

Kodak Black Posts IG Video Of James Harden Signing His Jersey

by

Kodak Black loves to make a scene at sporting events. The Florida rapper went viral for grinding on a woman at a Florida Panthers hockey game in 2022. He also popped up in the locker room of the Florida Atlantic football team, which led many fans to clown him for acting like he was a player. Kodak kept the outrageous sports behavior going at a recent Phoenix Suns game, as he cornered James Harden and asked him to sign a jersey. Not in the stadium, mind you, but on top of a car in a parking garage.

Kodak Black posted a video of the exchange on his Instagram Stories. He can be seen standing next to Harden as he signs the jersey. The “Tunnel Vision” rapper also made reference a mutual friend of theirs, Drake, by quoting lyrics from Drizzy’s song “The Shoe Fits.” “What that boy say??” Kodak asks Harden. “He say the n***a lost his h*e to James Harden, the Snip.” Harden laughs in acknowledgment, as “The Shoe Fits” tells a story about a woman who ends up striking up a relationship with the Suns superstar.

Kodak Black Rapped Drake Lyrics to Harden

“My new boo hoopin’ tonight and he said he play at the Garden,” Drake raps. “He said if I ain’t watching, then that n***a ain’t startin. She point to the guy that she talkin’ ’bout and it’s James Harden.” Kodak has expressed frustration with Drake in the past, claiming that he was supposed to make a collab album with the 6 God before he made Her Loss (2022) with 21 Savage. Evidently, Kodak is still enough of a fan that he knows the words from Drake’s latest release. So does Harden.

Kodak may have a reputation for being a troubled celebrity, but he has given back in the realm of sports. He organized a charity basketball game in Broward Country in 2022, eventually raising $5K for Lippman Youth Shelter in Oakland Park. Broward County Commissioner Dale Holness subsequently made June 11 “Kodak Black Day.” Hunter Pollack, who organized the game with Kodak, praised his kindness towards the next generation of athletes. “He cares about the community he grew up in, and the entire community is proud of him,” he noted. “It shows he has a good heart, and he wants to make a difference.”

Is OJ Simpson Khloe Kardashian’s Dad? Reality Starlet’s Name Comes Up Amid Athlete’s Death

by

OJ Simpson’s passing on Wednesday (April 10) is sad news, though not everyone agrees why. Some are mourning the loss of an incredible football player, while others are disappointed that we may never truly know whether he killed his ex-wife. Along with that mystery, there’s also the rumours of Simpson being the father of Khloe Kardashian, which are resurfacing online after his death. As you may recall, the gossip began spreading over a decade ago, after Kris Jenner spoke about cheating on her late ex-husband, Robert Kardashian. It’s since been addressed on the famous family’s KUWTK reality show, though not everyone is convinced the moment was authentic.

As Us Weekly notes, after separating from Jenner, the Kardashian patriarch married Jan Ashley before his 2003 death. In 2012, she claimed that Robert told her that Khloe (his and Kris’ third child) isn’t biologically his. “Khloe is not his kid — he told me that after we got married,” Ashley previously alleged. “He just kind of looked at me and said [it] like it was a matter of fact. He said, ‘Well, you know that Khloé’s not really a Kardashian, don’t you? And I said … ‘OK,’ and that was it.” Because the late lawyer worked on Simpson’s defense team, connections between him and Jenner quickly arose.

However, the former NFLer has said that the 68-year-old wasn’t his type back in the day. “I always thought Kris was a cute girl. She was really nice, but I was dating supermodels,” he said on the Full Send podcast in 2022. When asked about the Good American founder allegedly being his daughter, Simpson added, “The rumour ain’t true. It’s not even anywhere close to being true.”

All the feuds taking place between our favourite rappers this spring has made social media a chaotic but entertaining environment. Now, OJ Simpson’s death is adding to the mix as reactions continue to pour in. Check out some standouts that we found on Twitter/X at the link below, and tap back in with HNHH later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

OJ Simpson Death Reactions Take Over Twitter/X

by

We were shocked to hear about the death of football legend OJ Simpson, as were millions of others across the globe. The 76-year-old was quietly battling cancer before he ultimately succumbed to the illness, and we even saw him making occasional appearances on Cam’ron and Mase’s It Is What It Is podcast. Simpson’s family says that he passed on Wednesday, “surrounded by his children and grandchildren” while also asking for privacy and grace from the world.

Unfortunately, due to Simpson’s shameless antics after being acquitted of Nicole Brown Simpson’s murder, people are having a hard time letting him rest easy. So far, social media posts about the athlete’s death are mostly joking about him being “dragged” to hell by his alleged victims, or crossing paths with other troubling figures who already might be spending time with Satan.

Bronny James Compared To This NBA Veteran Amid Draft Declaration Criticism

by

Bronny James shocked the world last week when he decided to declare for the NBA Draft. Overall, his decision was one that surprised a whole lot of people. After all, he only averaged 4.8 points per game in his first season at USC, which is not exactly NBA material. However, a lot of this had to do with his cardiac arrest he suffered prior to the start of the season. He needed to play catch up and it is clear his confidence wasn’t there. Regardless, the odds do not seem particularly stacked in favor of him being drafted.

For instance, an anonymous executive recently came out and said that Bronny has no chance of getting drafted. He said that Bronny was not an NBA caliber prospect and that there were three rounds of players who could be taken above him. These were pretty harsh words, although not everyone seems to agree. In a new report from Bleacher Report, Jonathan Wasserman gave his view of Bronny and what he thinks the kid could potentially accomplish.

Wasserman believes that Bronny could actually become a solid three and D player in the league. In fact, Bronny was compared specifically to Quentin Grimes. While some may find this to be an underwhelming comp, Grimes is in the NBA and has proven to be an impactful player. Ultimately, it beats not being in the league whatsoever.

Let us know what you think of this comparison for Bronny James, in the comments section down below. Do you believe that this is a fair comparison for the young college star? Can Bronny make it to the NBA this season? Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the sports world.
