Southside Says Joe Biden Voters Were Just Following Trends

by

Southside is one of the most important and influential trap producers of all time. As he ascended with Gucci Mane and their 1017 Bricksquad crew, he produced hits such as “F**k Up Some Commas” by Future, “Tunnel Vision” by Kodak Black, “I Get The Bag” by Gucci Mane and Migos, “Both” by Gucci Mane and Drake, “Highlights” by Kanye West and many more.

However, aside from his legendary beats, Southside can tend to be provocative. In 2021, he has been arrested, ignited beef with Lil Uzi Vert and Kodak Black, split from his relationship with City Girl Yung Miami and announced his retirement. Most recently, though, Southside was seen on Instagram slandering the president of the United States. 

Southside posted an Instagram story where he claimed Biden’s supporters were not smart and just followed trends: “Last thing, where is all the stupid motherf**ckers that voted for Biden lmao? I swear we gotta stop following the trend and the internet and read things for (ourselves). Know this (Instagram) sh*t smoke and mirrors, these n****s ain’t as rich as they sayin’ and these b*tches ain’t as bad as these filters make them look.”

In the comments of the reposted story, the commenters seemed to agree with these sentiments.

These claims by Southside come just days after Biden gave in to criticism and extended the student loan debt freeze that began at the start of the pandemic. Biden initially wanted to resume student loan payments on Feb. 1, but he reconsidered after backlash from Americans and moved the date to May.

Quotable Lyrics
Damn shame what I saw The Lox do to Dipset
When your swag can’t save you
How did Cam get out-Cam’d by Jada?
And Squid Games was funny
Ye ain’t drop Donda, he just kept taking y’all money

“I know for me personally, I hope it’s not my last game [in Seattle], but at the same time, I know it won’t be my last game in the NFL,” he said. “So I’m just focused on today and getting better today. So that’s my focus and that’s my goal. I love this city and I love this moment. I love these guys. We’ve got to make sure we get better today. That’s the only thing that matters.”

Foogiano Sends Out Happy New Year Wishes On “Live From Da Feds”

by

Foogiano was revving up to be one of the hottest rappers out of the South in 2021. Singles like “Molly” and his proximity to Gucci Mane helped shape him into one artist to look out for. Unfortunately, his legal issues caught up to him and he found himself locked up at the height of the year. The rapper caught a five-year sentence for violating his probation conditions after melting off his ankle monitor. Still, he isn’t allowing his current incarceration status to prevent him from delivering heat for his fans.

Despite being behind bars, Foogiano came through with a brief update from prison with his latest track, “Live From Da Feds.” Recorded entirely over a prison phone, the rapper kicks off with some introspection as he reflects on his family, friends, and girlfriend, even giving Pooh Shiesty a shout-out. The beat flip halfway through the record captures Foogiano’s resilience in the face of adversity. “

Quotable Lyrics
I was loyal to the game but the game wasn’t loyal back
I was only gone a couple weeks, they stabbed me in my back
But I’m a gangsta at its finest, I won’t fold up, not an inch
Bitch, I shine up ’cause it won’t be long until I’m off the bench

 

Jeff Bezos Gets Clowned By Twitter For Odd New Year’s Eve Outfit

by

Although Amazon head honcho Jeff Bezos is the richest man in the world, that still does not shield him from the jokes made by Twitter’s finest trolls. After having to defend his body image from steroid accusations earlier this week, Bezos gave his critics more ammunition with a New Year’s post on Instagram.

After partying with former NFL legend Tony Gonzalez and his girlfriend Lauren Sanchez in the Caribbean for the holidays, Bezos posted a group of photos from the trip. In the first picture used, he is seen wearing goofy heart sunglasses and abnormally tight fitting clothes: “We had so much fun last night celebrating with a crazy disco party with family, but the new year is also a great time to take stock and focus on personal growth, renewal, rebirth, and paying careful attention to each moment of your life. The good and the bad. All of it. Celebrate and grow.”

Although it seems like he and his boo are on good terms after she was accused of drooling over Leonardo DiCaprio recently, Bezos’ detractors on Twitter still hold resentment. As soon as the photo of Bezos in his peculiar fit hit Twitter, the jokes poured in.

Whether it be him resembling Howie Mandel, Lex Luthor, Morpheus, Pitbull and Paul Shaffer, or just looking like a divorced old guy, which he is, Bezos was getting roasted left and right. Check out some of the funniest memes about his look below.
