Tiger Woods Apologizes For Tampon Prank

by

Tiger Woods recently apologized for a tampon prank on Justin Thomas on Thursday (February 16) during the Genesis Invitational. Moreover, the golf billionaire slipped Thomas a tampon into his hand when the latter failed to outdrive him. While Woods said that it was all in good fun, he expressed that he didn’t realize how others might take offense. He explained to reporters that “it was supposed to be all fun and games and obviously it hasn’t turned out that way. If I offended anybody, it was not the case, it was just friends having fun.”

Furthermore, many took issue with the 47-year-old’s prank, calling it juvenile and potentially disrespectful. After all, many could interpret this as Woods establishing his manhood over Thomas or insinuating some gendered bias. However, both laughed at the prank, and many online believe Tiger has no reason to apologize. “Luv yew @TigerWoods,” one user wrote on Twitter. “Everyone offended stinks. There’s no way real people were offended. Only fake Twitter offended.” On the other hand, others expressed confusion over why this specific instance shook people. Of course, people draw their own personal lines, but even socially progressive folks raised their eyebrows a bit.

Still, plenty of people voiced reasonable criticism of the prank and brought up Tiger’s relationship history. “Sports commentators laughing, and the fact that Tiger Woods had the tampon in his pocket, ready for the right moment to disrespect women, again,” one tweeter expressed. “Yeah, I guess Tiger might want to get a refresher on all that therapy he had after his first wife discovered what his other hobby was.” Another wrote, “Tiger Woods handing a tampon as a form of trash talk between friends on or off tv was offensive and he should have apologized. If you’re wondering ‘WhO wAs OfFeNdEd’ it’s me. We can talk about it too.”

Overall, it’s another case of both opinions clashing strongly, quickly, and antagonistically on social media. For what it’s worth, Woods actually seemed quite choked up during his apology. Whether you took offense to his act or not, there’s nothing useful to do about it. Instead, just go about your day and keep that Twitter rant in the drafts. Regardless, stay tuned to HNHH for more viral debates and the latest on Tiger Woods.

La La Anthony Reflects On Love Life, Marrying Carmelo Anthony At A Young Age

by

Following La La Anthony’s separation from her ex-husband, Carmelo, her love life has been a hot topic in the media. The actress has a wide-spanning circle of female friends throughout Hollywood. This puts her in contact with some of the industry’s most eligible bachelors.

However, the BMF actress has maintained her single status for some time now. Much to fans’ pleasure, she often talks about her dating struggles in interviews. While on Call Her Daddy, she vented about the abundance of young men sliding into her DMs. More recently, she told TMZ that she felt as though no one wants to date her.

In that same conversation with the gossip site, Anthony made it clear that the 22-year-olds attempting to hit on her don’t have much of a chance. Still, she did quote Aaliyah, flirtatiously saying, “age ain’t nothing but a number.”

With Valentine’s Day rapidly approaching, it looks as though the mother of one may have to turn this year into a Galentine’s affair. She sat down with The Shade Room for an interview earlier this week. At the time, she candidly discussed some of her relationship regrets.

“I started off really young in my relationship. [I] maybe would have tried to [take] my time a little bit more and learn more about love and partnership and marriage,” Anthony began. “And kind of not just jump right into such a heavy, heavy relationship so quickly.”

When asked about her “type” in the same conversation, the 40-year-old shared that she’s not interested in keeping herself in a box. “I want to be open. Like I don’t want to just have a type,” she shared. “I want to be open to maybe a type that I wouldn’t think was my type or something. That’s not the norm that people would expect from me. I think when you are dating, you do have to be open. Because if you have this super checklist, right, then I don’t think you’re gonna find anybody.”

For Anthony, romantic highlights in a man are a great personality, strong communication, and honesty.

In other news, Anthony revealed in another recent interview that she once had aspirations of pursuing a rap career. They obviously never transpired, though she did reveal that her entire top five favourites list is covered by just one artist.

by

Yung Miami says that she met Diddy’s family and she loves them all. The City Girls rapper reflected on the experience of meeting the Combs family while speaking with The Shade Room last week.

Miami began by praising Diddy’s mother, Janice.

“Mama Combs, I love her. She treat[s] me like I’m her own,” Miami said. She also added that she loves the twins, who she says are “so cool.”

Diddy and Yung Miami have been officially linked since June 2022.

While Diddy has been hesitant about putting a label on their relationship, he detailed their connection on The Breakfast Club in October.

“She’s one of my best friends,” Diddy told the hosts at the time. “I’m so blessed to have met this human being, you know what I’m saying… Just the way she makes me laugh. The way she, you know, just, you know, rides with me, and you know what I’m saying… The support without it having to be ‘ah this is my girl or this is this situation,’ you know what I’m saying, she’s like has been a real friend.”

Last December, Diddy surprisingly announced the birth of his seventh child, daughter Love Combs, with a woman named Dana Tran. In response to the news, Miami clarified that she’s no one’s “side bitch.”

“I’M NOBODY SIDE BITCH LETS JUST MAKE THIS CLEAR ON THIS GOOD MONDAY! I don’t come 2nd to no bitch!” she tweeted.

Yung Miami also made headlines earlier this week after admitting that she likes her partners to urinate on her.

GloRilla & Her Team Under Fire For Alleged Shady Business Deals

by

GloRilla was undeniably one of the hottest breakthrough stars of the year in 2022. This is thanks to a couple of viral hits, including “F.N.F. (Let’s Go)” and “Tomorrow 2” with Cardi B.

These songs, along with her charisma and commanding presence on the mic, have helped to turn her into one of the most promising acts in the game.

However, some business owners are calling out the Memphis native and members of her team for allegedly scamming their brands. A video report about the allegations is now on The Shade Room‘s Instagram account.

Specifically, the owner of a small hair and body care business, Kimberley Renfroe, says she paid $1,000 to a man claiming to be GloRilla’s manager. The payment was supposed to be for an endorsement deal in which the 23-year-old rapper would promote some of her business’ products. Once the man received the payment, he subsequently asked for more cash and then ultimately ghosted Renfroe.

A choreographer claims she had a similar experience. She says the Memphis native and her team are responsible for reaching out to her for a five-hour dance lesson for $1,500. Once the class allegedly happened, she says she never got her money.

However, the “Blessed” rapper claims that these are cases of scammers pretending to be members of her team.

“I was made aware that an individual has been impersonating members of my team and deceiving people for money as part of a scam. I’m looking into the issue, but I’d like to encourage all my fans and supporters to be very careful with how they communicate with online strangers. It’s important to do research and take the appropriate steps to prevent yourselves from being victimized by cybercriminals posing as celebrity teams,” she says in a statement to FOX13 Memphis.

Of course, this story arrives shortly after the Memphis native made headlines for seeking a personal assistant. She was offering $550 per week for the position.

In other news surrounding the 23-year-old, an old video of her recently began surfacing online. In the footage before the fame, she confesses her love for Chief Keef. A picture of the “Love Sosa” rapper appears in the background while the Memphis native lip-syncs to pre-recorded audio.

“This is your man? the audio asks. “Yeah,” she promptly pretends to reply. After the audio states to “look at the screen,” she does so with admiration and says, “That’s mine.”

What are your thoughts on the situation? Comment down below. Finally, make sure to check out GloRilla’s interview with HNHH here.

Cardi B Blasts ‘The Shade Room’ And Accuses Them Of ‘Gaslighting’ Her And Only Posting ‘Negative Content’

A number of artists have shared their displeasure about The Shade Room and similar social media platforms over the years, and on Sunday night, Cardi B became the latest person to do so. It all went started when The Shade Room shared a birthday post on Instagram for Cardi’s 4-year-old daughter Kulture. Cardi then asked them to delete the post, reaching out through private messages on both Instagram and Twitter, but when her requests were seemingly ignored, she took to Twitter to air out her grievances.

“Cause my thing is …okay you only post negative content bout me ,cool no biggie. got me blocked from commenting on their page ok cool,” Cardi wrote in a tweet. “But please don’t post my child on yall funny ish …I don’t want to be [my] old self but just leave me alone.”

The Shade Room responded with screenshots of past positive posts they’ve done about Cardi and wrote, “Whats the phone number of the lawyer you used in your defamation case because we tryna see something,” adding, “is this the ‘only negative’ content you are referring to?”

Cardi replied with a series of video messages that further explained her ill feelings about The Shade Room.

“I DM’d you guys but, of course, you guys ignore me, and that’s why I had to take it publicly,” she said. “Clearly, you guys have me muted from commenting on your page. That’s why when I comment, nobody can see my comment and I actually have screenshots of it, and that’s why I posted it.”

She continued, “So now you guys want to gaslight me. And if you guys are not doing shady sh*t on purpose, why mute me from commenting? Then you guys post certain things positive about me so y’all can continuously post negative things about me that you don’t do to other artists.”

Cardi even went as far as to provide another example of The Shade Room’s alleged wrongdoings.

“Example: the thing with Lil Kim with the Lip Service,” she said. “You guys literally edited the video and posted things that sounded kinda funny so people could drag me… Also, you guys post funny things when it comes to my music releases, you guys ignore completely when I do really good performing — anything that’s positive about me.”

The Shade Room claimed that they could not post certain positive things about Cardi, like her recent performance at the 2022 Wireless Festival, because they “have to get permission from owners to post videos to our page.” Cardi wasn’t buying their reasoning as she replied, “Wait how can u say that ,when have you ever ask me to ever post anything about me ?& if that’s true you got my publicist # why not ask her sh*t why not ask me on Dm? Like this arguments are so stupid!The gaslighting it’s insane.”

Cardi and The Shade Room continued to go back and forth through additional tweets, but the two sides appeared to settle their differences as The Shade Room revealed in a tweet.

“Just spoke to @iamcardib and we were able to come to a resolution,” they wrote. “We’re putting the issue to rest and moving on. Cardi, we wish you the best and continued success. Glad we found a way to move forward peacefully. What happened earlier was bad, but how it ended is good.”

You can view screenshots and recordings of the posts and videos from Cardi’s back and forth with The Shade Room above.

Cardi B is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

During an interview with The Shade Room, Power 105’s DJ Envy and his wife Gia Casey sat down to candidly discuss their “toxic” relationship, including Casey admitting that she’s faked orgasms for a decade during their intimacy.

Casey said, “We would be intimate and he would be putting his best foot forward like, he is in the business of satisfying just all around. He lives to make me happy, and he puts his best foot forward in that role.”  She then added, “So I would see him trying and really going to work, and I’m sure many women can relate, you want to reward that man for that work and the only reward that you have to offer is an orgasm. And even if I didn’t feel it, I would still be performative.” 

The Breakfast Club host responded to Casey’s claims, saying,  “It hurt me because I thought I was pleasing my wife. You hear all these stories about women talking about their girlfriend ‘Oh girl he was so short, oh girl he ain’t doin’ nothin’, and I feel like they laughing, and now I feel like that’s what my wife is doing.”
