Shannon Sharpe Stands With Bruce Arians In Antonio Brown Debacle

by

The last thing that a playoff-caliber team wants or needs is drama during January. Anything that distracts from that ultimate goal of winning the Super Bowl must be done away. Add in the fact that your team is a #1 seed in the NFC and has a high chance of returning to the promised land, and you begin to understand why the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Bruce Arians are handling the Antonio Brown situation the way they’ve been doing. Well, as of this morning, you can add Shannon Sharpe to team Bruce Arians as he defiantly proclaimed on the FS1 show “Undisputed” that he “believes BA.”

During the show, Shannon argues that he isn’t saying that he doesn’t necessarily believe that Antonio Brown’s injury is severe or not but more so the fact that it didn’t cause “the reason for the outburst.”

“I also believe Skip that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers would have never released a statement hadn’t Antonio Brown not took the steps that he took,” says Sharpe to co-host Skip Bayless. “I believe they were going to be hush and ready to move on past it but you’re making it seem like you’re no longer a Buccaneer because you wouldn’t go into the game.”

Where do you stand? Do you side with Antonio Brown or the Bruce Arians and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers? Sound off in the comment section below.

Aaron Rodgers Responds To Report That He’ll Boycott The Super Bowl

by

Over the past few months, Aaron Rodgers has made his thoughts on COVID-19 crystal clear. Rodgers acknowledges that the pandemic is, indeed, happening, however, he is refusing to take the vaccine. Rodgers claims he is allergic to mRNA vaccines, and he is also adamant that the mainstream media is trying to suppress information about alternative medicine. These stances have been fairly unpopular amongst analysts, although fans are mostly split down the middle.

Recently, Boomer Esiason was hosting a show when he received a text message from a source claiming that Rodgers was going to boycott the Super Bowl if he made it there. Essentially, Rodgers would allegedly demand that the NFL ease back on its COVID-19 mandates, while also holding back on tests for asymptomatic players.

Perhaps the most damning part of the whole clip was when it was revealed that Rodgers had told backup QB Jordan Love to be prepared to play in the Super Bowl should anything go south.

Rodgers saw this report and knew immediately that he had to say something. Rodgers quoted the part about Love and added a laughing emoji, all while using hashtags that suggest this is completely false. Even Love joined in on the response, noting that it was all “fake news.”

This should bring sighs of relief to Packers fans, as losing Rodgers in the Super Bowl would be the ultimate smack in the face. Of course, the Packers need to get their first, before Rodgers could even think of such a stunt.

FTN Bae Celebrates Her “First Victory In Court” Against OTF Rapper Doodie Lo

by

One of the most disturbing Hip-Hop-related developments of 2021 came when rapper, dancer, and social media influencer FTN Bae hit Instagram to blast her ex-boyfriend Doodie Lo with serious child molestation allegations.

“August 6th i had a show in Orlando & @otf_doodielo was at my house along with my roommate and my son and his 3 year old cousin. Once i left this SICK man welted 3 screws (that he found in my toolbox) and shoved them up my sons anus,” FTN Bae said in an Instagram post on October 27, 2021. “While i’m patiently waiting for the police to complete there investigation I NEEDED to speak up and expose this SICK MAN to warn other females with kids and maybe other girls who dealt with him should talk to there kids.”

In the days after FTN Bae publicly accused Doodie Lo of such a horrifying crime, the two rappers were constantly going back and forth and arguing over social media, but according to a new post from The Shade Room, the tension between FTN Bae and Doodie Lo reportedly reached a point where the courts had to get involved.

In December, it was reported that Doodie Lo attempted to sue FTN Bae for defamation over her child molestation allegations, and now it appears that he also filed a restraining order against her. However, FTN Bae took to Instagram this week to reveal that the OTF rapper’s restraining order was dismissed, calling it her “first victory in court.”

“The enemy is trying to silence me from speaking!” FTN Bae wrote over a picture of the legal paperwork. “But no weapon formed against me SHALL PROSPER! My first victory in court repressing myself! Thankyou Jesus for being there for me even when things get hard…Truth always wins. one step closer.”

Many fans assumed that FTN Bae had been granted a temporary restraining order against Doodie Lo for stalking, but she set the record straight on her Instagram story on Friday, saying, “to clarify my victory. he put a restraining order against me for stalking/harassment because of me basically talking on social media. & all his claims of me ‘lying.’ If he would have won he wanted a condition of the restraining order to be that i would have to delete all posts about the situation including the lie detector test, & i wouldn’t be allowed to ever speak on him or the situation or I would violate and could go to jail.”

“I took it to trial & won because he couldn’t prove his claims about me in court,” she continued. “so his motion was denied. 1 court down.”

As seen in The Shade Room‘s post above, Doodie Lo also shared a picture of the same paperwork to his Instagram story with the caption “LOL.” He then shared photos of more court documents from a Wednesday, January 5 hearing in which FTN Bae is listed as the petitioner who is requesting a temporary restraining order from Doodie Lo for sexual violence.

The document states that FTN Bae’s restraining order was also dismissed due to her not arriving in time for the hearing, a point that Doodie Lo made sure to emphasize on his Instagram story.

“Y’all need to read how are you late for what you wanted so much justice for,” Doodie Lo wrote. “Stop playing with my name.”

As for any actual developments in the original sexual assault allegations raised against the OTF rapper, no new information has currently presented itself, but stay tuned to HNHH for updates regarding FTN Bae and Doodie Lo’s ongoing legal battle.

Kanye West & Antonio Brown Could Potentially Release A Song Together

by

Antonio Brown has had a very busy week as he was released by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Thursday. The wide receiver set the NFL world on fire recently as he stripped out of his gear, threw it in the crowd, and ran out of MetLife Stadium prior to the end of the team’s game against the New York Jets. It was a truly bizarre moment that has since been justified by AB as a product of his frustration with the coaching staff and their dismissal of his injury.

For those who may not know, AB has been known to release hip-hop tracks in the past, and now, it seems like he could be poised for the biggest collaboration of his life. In a recent Clubhouse session, Justin Laboy came out and addressed Brown, stating that none other than Kanye West is looking to get in the studio with him.

“AB listen man, ‘til another team pick you up you gotta pull up to the studio man,” said LaBoy. “Me and Ye working, and Ye want you to pull up, man. … Ye’s another advocate for mental health and equality everywhere, so, I’m excited about bringing both of them together.”

It remains to be seen whether or not AB will accept this offer, although it would definitely be in his best interest to do it. Kanye is one of the biggest artists in the world, and Brown’s music career could use the boost.

Let us know what you think about this potential collaboration, in the comments below.

Gunna, Future & Roddy Ricch Link Up For The “too easy Remix” Music Video: Watch

by

Gunna’s DS4EVER has been receiving plenty of love since it dropped at midnight, and just hours after, the 28-year-old has treated us to another surprise – a music video for “too easy Remix,” featuring Future and Roddy Ricch.

As Uproxx reports, the new visual sees the three superstar recording artists trying their hand at various professions that are outlandishly far off from what they actually spend their days doing. Gunna becomes a wilderness explorer, a wide receiver, and an expert mountaineer.

Roddy lives out his double life as a lounge pianist, and heads to a Shaolin temple to get his Wu-Tang Clan on while Future and the “Drip Too Hard” hitmaker try their hand at judging a beauty pageant while dressed as news anchors/weathermen. The 38-year-old Georgia-born star also takes us on a trip to Scotland, where he participates in fun games like tug-o-war, rock-throwing, and bagpiping. 

Elsewhere on DS4, Gunna has been receiving his flowers for his 21 Savage collab track, “thought i was playing,” which has listeners praising the UK native for his consistency.

Have you streamed the fourth and final installment of Wunna’s long-running Drip Season project yet? If yes, be sure to leave your favourite track in the comments.

Lakeith Stanfield Voids His Phone’s Warranty In SZA’s ‘I Hate U’ Visualizer

by

With the third season premiere of FX’s hit show Atlanta set for next March, fans face an agonizingly long wait to find out what happens to our guys Earn, Alfred, and Darius. Until then, though, they’re filling the days with a vast array of fascinating projects. Brian Tyree Henry, who plays Al — aka Paper Boi — just made his debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as The Eternals‘ Phastos and is currently on post-production for the Fox animated comedy Housebroken, while Donald Glover, the show’s creator and star as Earn, is finishing up his TV series remake of spy rom-com Mr. & Mrs. Smith.

Meanwhile, Lakeith Stanfield, the mysterious and off-beat Darius, is coming off a thrilling turn as cowboy Cherokee Bill in the Western fantasy The Harder They Fall. He’s also fond of doing surprise side projects like popping up in the visualizer for SZA’s new hit single, “I Hate U,” which dropped today, three weeks after the song broke an Apple Music streaming record. In the clip, Lakeith is the poor fella on the receiving end of SZA’s wrath, arguing with her over the phone while standing alone on a windswept bluff overlooking a stormy beach. When he receives the final, relationship-ending text, he’s overcome with the loss and chucks his iPhone in the ocean — which is something I don’t think Apple Care covers. The video closes with the cryptic message “Not the end,” which SZA fans are sure to interpret as a signal that the long-awaited follow-up to her acclaimed debut album CTRL is on the way.

You can watch the visualizer above.

Tyler Herro & Jusuf Nurkic Receive Stiff Punishment For Recent Fight

by

NBA officials announced that Tyler Herro and Jusuf Nurkic would have to pay a pretty penny for Wednesday night’s in-game squabble as the NBA has hit both players with a hefty $25K fine.

As tension continued to rise in the 4th quarter match between the Miami Heat and the Portland Trailblazers, Nurkic knocked Herro down through the use of a screen. Physically upset by the move, Herro pushed Nurkic while his back was turned away from him, resulting in the Trailblazer getting a quick lick in as he clawed at Herro’s grill. The scuffle led Miami Heat players on the court almost immediately, restraining the 6’5 point guard while Nurkic remained free. No real injuries came from the altercation, but the two players were ejected from the game regardless.

With players around the league missing games due to NBA Health and Safety Protocols, the last thing either of these teams needs is a suspension of any kind, so just receiving a fine is the best-case scenario for sure. Specifically for the Trailblazers, though, Nurkic is averaging 13.5 points and 10.1 rebounds per game in 34 games this season, so his presence is vital. With how Portland’s season is going, they can’t afford to have anybody off the court. 

Do you think the league got it right by fining both players $25K? Should it have been more or maybe a suspension? Let us know what you think in the comments below.

Rihanna Previews Savage X Fenty Retail Stores: “2022, We Coming In HOT”

by

Rihanna is expanding the Fenty universe, once again. This time around, the 33-year-old Barbadian singer is launching brick-and-mortar retail locations in five different states to sell her Savage X Fenty lingerie.

On Friday, January 7th, BadGal RiRi took to Instagram to share the good news, unveiling a colourful photo of what the locations will look like when they open in the near future.

“2022, we coming in HOT,” the “Rude Boy” singer forewarned her fans. “We bout to bring you a whole new #SavageXFenty experience with the launch of our brick-and-mortar retail stores!”

She went on to reflect on her journey into the fashion industry, writing, “can’t believe it’s actually that time, and I can’t wait for you to have this experience irl.” Later in her post, Rihanna shared that the first five Savage X Fenty storefront locations will be in Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Houston, Philadelphia and Washington DC.

“Watch the @savagexfenty feed for details,” she teased, hinting that more updates on the exciting news will be on the way soon. 

As Daily Mail notes, the multihyphenate’s lingerie brand has found massive success since it was first launched back in 2018, amassing a reported value of $1 billion by last February.

Of course, all fashion companies face their faux pas. Just a few weeks ago, Rihanna got some hate for her assless pyjama pants that left some Twitter users more than a little confused; read more about that here, and let us know which city you’d like to see the Bad Gal open up a Savage X Fenty shop below.
