Ice Spice Brings Out Flo Milli At Hot 97 Summer Jam, Twitter Questions Why It Wasn’t Other Way Around

by

On Sunday (June 4), New York’s annual Hot 97 Summer Jam festival lit up the city again, with locals like Ice Spice and Cardi B showing out. Others on the 2023 lineup include French Montana, Fivio Foreign, Lola Brooke, and Lil Tjay – not to mention the special guests brought out by headliners. While Bardi tapped Latto to join her for a performance of their new “Put It On Da Floor Again” collaboration, Isis Gaston recruited Flo Milli, who she has yet to collaborate with, for some on-stage fun.

Spice’s lengthy red hair was styled in mermaid waves for the show, and her booty made several cheeky appearances beneath her plaid mini skirt. After the concert she shared a photo dump on Instagram, giving a closer look at her outfit, consisting of fishnet tights, a cropped Supreme polo shirt, and her signature chain. In the comment section, Milli dropped by to write “Goated! 😍,” proving that despite the discourse flowing on social media right now, there’s no drama between the two.

Ice Spice Takes Hot 97 Summer Jam

After seeing videos of the “Pussycat Doll” hitmaker’s surprise appearance at Summer Jam, several Twitter users have expressed their opinion that Milli “ate Ice Spice up” with her vivacious energy. “Do y’all peep the difference in stage presence… Flo Milli should be in Ice Spice’s position. This is crazy,” one person wrote.

On the other hand, some feel as though the southern starlet’s fans should do less comparing (as Milli herself has previously requested) to other rap divas and more streaming of their favourite’s music. “If all the people that complained about Flo Milli not being as big as Ice Spice actually streamed her music… Maybe, just maybe,” someone in that camp quipped.

“The Hillbillies” Earns Kendrick Lamar & Baby Keem Mostly Praise From Twitter

by

Much to his fans’ enjoyment, Kendrick Lamar is making his presence felt his month. 2023 has been a quiet year so far for the father of two, following the massive success he found in 2022 with his long-awaited Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers album. He likely won’t be turning out a full-length project anytime soon, but he did make his voice heard on the remix of Beyonce’s “AMERICA HAS A PROBLEM,” which arrived just a few dates into her RENAISSANCE World Tour.

That taste of Lamar was enough to satisfy our itch – for now – but he wasn’t done there. On Tuesday (May 30), he and little cousin Baby Keem joined forces for yet another collaborative track. In the past, we’ve heard them connect on “Savior” from the DAMN. hitmaker’s aforementioned LP, as well as “family ties” and “range brothers” on Keem’s The Melodic Blue. Now, they’ve joined forces for “The Hillbillies,” which arrived exclusively on YouTube along with a video featuring an appearance from Tyler, the Creator.

Baby Keem and Kendrick Lamar Reunite on “The Hillbillies”

Not only does the OFWGKTA head show off his iconic style and unique dance moves, but he also confirms that the next CAMP FLOG GNAW event will be taking place at Dodger’s Stadium later this year. The news was incredibly exciting to Twitter users, who have been praising Tyler for his work. As for Lamar and Keem, not everyone is a fan of “The Hillbillies,” though many are pleased with the interpolation of Drake’s “Sticky” from Honestly, Nevermind along with the use of a Bon Iver sample.

“It’s cool but if this is the single for a collab album then I’m worried,” one person expressed, seemingly expecting more from the legendary lyricists. “Yeah that Kendrick Lamar x Baby Keem collab album is bound to happen at some point,” someone else chimed in, hopefully speaking the project into existence.

Orlando Brown’s “Bad Boys Texas” Antics Have Twitter Cracking Up

by

In the early 2000s, Orlando Brown was one of fans’ favourite faces to see on the Disney Channel. Now, at age 35, he’s become popular on another series – Zeus’ Bad Boys Texas. The former child star is just one of the rambunctious figures on the popular reality show, on which he freely speaks his mind and goes viral on Twitter for some of his hilarious antics. Of course, there are those speaking out in concern for Brown’s sobriety too, especially after the show’s most recent episode when the That’s So Raven star was caught on camera having liquor poured down his throat.

“Knowing Orlando Brown struggles with addiction and sobriety, this is so messy of them. Production should’ve put in his contract that he can’t drink,” one Twitter user wrote after seeing the troubling footage. Another chimed in with their take that Zeus is taking advantage of the California native, and anyone choosing to watch it unfold became it’s “messy” or “good TV” should reconsider. Someone else suggested that Brown needs professional help so his supporters can cheer him on through his comeback as they have with other stars in the past.

Orlando Brown is a Fan Favourite on Bad Boys Texas

“We, the people, need to get Orlando Brown that Ezra Miller protection so he can make a comeback like Robert Downey Jr.,” their post began. “I’m still a fan of the man. I TRULY believe that the homie just needs some to be surrounded w/ love and wise counsel 💯.”

While his on-screen behaviour is certainly troubling at times, it’s less worrying than reports of his latest arrest in late 2022. At the time, Brown lost out on a major movie role after lashing out at a friend he was staying with in Ohio. Just a few months later, it was revealed that he planned to undergo a mental evaluation.

Ari Fletcher Tweets About Sending Nudes To Yung Miami, City Girl Shares A Scandalous Response

by

Ari Fletcher has never been one to shy away from showing off her bodacious body – both before and after her recent waist-slimming procedure. The mother of one has been candid about previously going under the knife but also works hard to keep herself in great shape after surgery. She’s already built herself an impressive empire thanks to her YouTube channel and various brand deals, but now, Fletcher is preparing to collect some funds back by showing off her famous figure on OnlyFans.

She hasn’t launched an account quite yet but revealed earlier this week that she fully plans to if her man, Moneybagg Yo, goes No. 1 with his new Hard to Love mixtape. While some men would immediately react in jealousy over the news, Bagg made it clear he’s not insecure about Fletcher flaunting what she’s got – especially if she’s making money while doing it. While speaking with Power 106, the rapper said that it’s not his place to dictate his partner’s decisions, but he’ll happily accept more streams on his latest project.

“Y’all better run it up,” he said. “Y’all better run it on up, man. You wanna see this OnlyFans, man? Run it up… She already locked and loaded man. I believe it. I know what’s up man,” the southern lyricist told the station. While Fletcher hasn’t explicitly stated whether she’ll be starting the NSFW profile or not yet, she didn’t hesitate to flirt with City Girl Yung Miami on Twitter on Saturday (May 27) night, seriously stirring up some attention for the two.

“What you gone do with that naked picture I sent you earlier? @YungMiami305,” the internet star wrote to Miami. “Play with my p*ssy until I cum 💦😋,” the “Act Bad” rapper shot back, just hours after she was spotted out on a date with Diddy.

Blue Ivy’s “RENAISSANCE” World Tour Performance Defended By The BeyHive As Haters Lash Out

by

11-year-old Blue Ivy Carter is younger than many of the other well-known nepo babies, but already, her resume is more impressive than some celebrity children who are triple her age. Earlier this year, the young girl joined Beyonce on stage in Paris (where she was previously conceived) during the RENAISSANCE World Tour. She appeared during “My Power,” and managed to keep up with the gaggle of dancers around her, as well as her mother who was beaming with pride at the sight of Blue Ivy being cheered on by 80,000 fans watching them.

No matter how pleased the Carters were with their eldest daughter’s work, miserable haters on the internet still found time to criticize her. For the most part, people appear to take issue with Blue being “stiff” while dancing. “Dear Black Women, Blue Ivy is 11 years old performing for the first time in front of 80K people,” one Twitter user wrote amid all the negative discourse. “Stop hyper-sexualizing her saying she’s too stiff or making inappropriate comments about her body. Y’all are no different than the men. She’s a child. Y’all acting like pedos.”

“There is no need to oversexualize her but she is still stiff. And it’s okay for y’all to admit that. I have seen a lot of kids younger than her dance way better,” someone attempted to argue in the replies. “You don’t understand what age-appropriate means,” the OP shot back.

In response to another comment, they later wrote, “She dances like most 11-year-old kids. It’s beyond weird it’s [mostly] women making comments comparing her to a seasoned pro and adult.” Even with the hate, Blue looked cool and composed after finishing her iconic show, and will likely make more appearances at her mom’s future tour dates.

“Power Book II: Ghost” Wraps Up Season 3, Twitter Reacts

by

50 Cent’s “Power Book II: Ghost” has been just as successful as the rest of his expansive and varied television empire. Not only has the show racked up a lot of praise commercially, but fans all over social media make up a passionate and dedicated following. Moreover, the Starz show just wrapped up its third season last night (May 26), with a fourth on the way. Already, fans are incredibly excited to see its next iteration, taking to platforms like Twitter to share some of their favorite moments from this finale. It just goes to show that the hard work, talent, and intriguing stories on display are far more compelling than your average crime show.

Still, that’s not to say that the show didn’t run into a few hiccups before its third season’s conclusion. The biggest of these were the final two episodes of the season getting leaked online, which fans were not happy at all with. Of course, for every tweet pleading for people to avoid the leak and respect the show, there was another telling users to DM them for the link. With a show as hyped and beloved as “Power,” we’re not surprised that fans divided on that as well.

Beyonce & Jay-Z’s $200M California Mansion Called “Ugly,” Compared To A “Prison”

by

As prices on essentially everything continue to rise, it’s becoming abundantly obvious that the working class is fed up with rich people. Exuberant displays of wealth no longer tantalize the masses in the way they used to. Instead, the world prefers to hear about celebrities giving up their wealth to charity, and stepping out of their bubbles of fame and fortune to remember what life is like for the majority of the population. Earlier this month it was not only announced that Beyonce could earn upwards of $2 billion in ticket sales from her RENAISSANCE World Tour, but also that she and Jay-Z made history by purchasing the most expensive mansion in California history – in cash.

Obviously, members of the BeyHive were as pleased to hear of their favourite singer’s continued success as ever. Elsewhere on social media, others have been expressing feelings of disgust over the displays of mass spending, which arguably could be put toward more humanitarian efforts than another mansion for the Carters. “[Who] cares, people can barely afford their rent. No one is happy for them,” one Twitter user declared after hearing the news earlier this week.

“The house isn’t even pretty from the outside, not to mention no one needs a home that darn big,” someone else pointed out. “Donate to charities, feed the poor children, help the homeless… This is all for show,” they suggested. Others shared their opinions that the couple bought the home to help them during tax time, proving how money savvy they’ve become throughout their careers.

Aside from those ranting about Bey and Jay keeping their cash to themselves, others are simply annoyed that a home which looks so plain from the outside could cost $200M. “Looks like a concrete prison. I guess there’s no accounting for taste,” one critic wrote. “The only thing that looks good is the ocean,” another added, admiring the view.

Ice Spice & Taylor Swift’s “Karma (Remix)” Called “Rushed” By Twitter Users

by

Those in the Spice Cabinet are still happily streaming Isis Gaston’s “Princess Diana (Remix)” with Nicki Minaj, which marked the biggest moment of the 23-year-old’s career to date. While she herself is still coming down from the high of crossing that off her bucket list, Ice Spice continues to beef up her resume, now adding the first rapper to collaborate with Taylor Swift to her list of accolades. The pair teamed up for “Karma (Remix)” on Friday (May 26), and while the idea is certainly admirably ambitious, it missed the mark with many listeners, and they weren’t afraid to express their feelings on Twitter.

“That verse was so bad,” one user wrote after the song premiered. “You can really tell the ‘Karma (Remix)’ was done last minute for damage control to clear Taylor Swift & her [Nazi] boyfriend image after he said all those racist slurs to Ice Spice,” they further speculated. “Hope she got a massive cheque though.” Several others agreed with this sentiment, noting the odd timing of the New Yorker’s link-up with Taylor amid her rumoured relationship with The 1975 frontman Matty Healy.

Ice Spice Lands Another Major Collaboration

As we reported earlier this year, the “Somebody Else” singer poked fun at Spice’s appearance earlier this year. A few months later he offered an odd apology while on stage, and Swift has avoided commenting on the situation entirely. This has also sparked outrage amongst some fans, who expected more from the Red hitmaker.

“Taylor Swift failing to address the racist comments Matt Healy made towards Ice Spice and then finding a way to profit off of her with a new collab is a textbook example of white woman feminism,” one of them pointed out. “It’s convenient, manipulative and continues to shield and protect white men.”

Boston Celtics Pull Back Another Game In ECF

by

The Boston Celtics managed to avoid being swept in the Eastern Conference Finals with a clutch win in Game 4. While Jayson Tatum led the way, the Celtics relied on the first proper team performance of the series to avoid crashing out.

However, they were far from safe. The Miami Heat still lead 3-1 and have three more chances to secure a showdown with the Denver Nuggets in the NBA Finals. Jimmy Butler and the other leaders of the Heat squad shrugged off the loss and chalked it up to the unpredictability of the playoffs. “If anything, it will build momentum for us knowing that we have to play with a lot more energy,” Butler said. “We’ve got to play like our backs are against the wall. But I think all year long, we’ve been better when we’ve had to do things the hard way.”

Heat Drops Game 5

The Celtics came out of the gate hot and lead by 15 at the end of the first. Every time the Heat scored, the Celtics would just re-establish the lead. While Miami didn’t let the game get away from them in the second, they still trailed by 17 at the half. The second half followed much of the same pattern, with the Heat never able to find a scoring run that would get them back in the game. The Celtics led by 18 heading into the final quarter. While the Heat were able to add some garbage time points, the game had long been over by that point. The Celtics sent the series back to Miami with a 110-97 victory.

It was an embarrassment of riches for the Celtics, with four starters scoring at least 20 points. Meanwhile, the Heat failed to even have one starter reach 20 points. However, the Heat are struggling to refind their rhythm with two key starters in Gabe Vincent and Tyler Herro sidelined by injury. Duncan Robinson, who played 28 minutes off the bench, led the Heat in scoring with 18 points. Meanwhile, Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo combined for 30 points. The other three Heat starters combined for 14. While the Heat still have two opportunities to close out the series, they need to find an answer for the reinvigorated Celtics offense.

The series returns to Miami for Game 6 on May 27.

Florida Panthers Complete Cinderella Run To Stanley Cup Finals

by

Just a few short weeks ago, the sports world was preparing for the Florida Panthers to become the answer to the question, “who did the Boston Bruins beat in the first round of the 2023 Stanley Cup playoffs?” The Bruins were coming off a record-breaking regular season where they set a new record for wins (65) and points (135). The Panthers were the second wildcard team, with 42 wins and 92 points. But, the Panthers prevailed, erasing a 3-1 series lead built by the Bruins to win in overtime in Game 7.

They became unstoppable in the second round, dismantling the Toronto Maple Leafs 4-1. That set up a Conference Finals matchup against the Carolina Hurricanes. The Panthers had only ever made the Stanley Cup Finals once, back in 1996, during their third season of existence. 2023 marked just the eighth playoff appearance for the Panthers since that run. However, once again, the Panthers dominated. They jumped out to a 3-0 series lead over the 113-point regular season Hurricanes. That set up a do-or-die Game 4 in Florida.

Panthers Complete Sweep

The Panthers took the lead just 41 seconds into the first period as Anthony Duclair grabbed his own missed shot and put it into the back of the Hurricanes’ net during a relentless Panthers offensive barrage. A little under 10 minutes later, Matthew Tkachuk netted his eighth goal of the playoffs to put the Panthers up by two. However, the Hurricanes would keep the deficit at one after Paul Statsny was able to put one past Sergei Bobrovsky just after the 13-minute mark.

Moving into the second period, the Hurricanes were able to tie things up as Teuvo Teravainen grabbed his first goal of the playoffs a little before the three-minute mark. However, the Panthers remained relentless and retook the lead a little before 10 minutes through Ryan Lomberg’s first goal of the playoffs. The 3-2 lead remained for a long stretch of the third period until, with just under three-and-a-half to play, Jesper Fast slotted a goal home to tie it up. All Carolina had to do was find another goal or play defense until overtime. But it wasn’t to be. Like they had done against the Bruins, the Panthers found a last-gasp goal to steal the win.

Twitter Reacts

The Panthers will face the Dallas Stars or Vegas Golden Knights in the Stanley Cup Finals. The Golden Knights currently hold a 3-0 series lead.
