Lamar Jackson Suffers Sprained Ankle During Ravens’ Loss To Browns

by

Baltimore Ravens star quarterback Lamar Jackson exited the team’s 24-22 loss to the Cleveland Browns, Sunday, with an ankle injury. After the game, Ravens head coach John Harbaugh revealed that Jackson had suffered a sprained ankle.

“We’ll look at it more tomorrow and see where we’re at,” Harbaugh explained.

The injury was sustained on the first play of the second quarter while Jackson was rolling out to his right. Browns linebacker Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah dove at Jackson’s leg while trying to catch up to him for a sack. Jackson was left on the ground holding his ankle.

After limping to the sidelines, Jackson was taken into the locker room by a cart.

At the time of his injury, the Ravens were down 10-0.

Jackson was replaced by Tyler Huntley for the remainder of the game. Huntley finished completing 27-of-38 pass attempts for 270 yards and a touchdown. He tacked on 45 yards on six carries. He brought the Ravens to within two points by the end of the game.

The Ravens are now 8-5 on the season, battling for the top spot in the NFC North with the Bengals and Browns. The Ravens’ next opportunity for a win will come next Sunday against the Green Bay Packers.

Pete Davidson Plans To Get All Of His Tattoos Removed

by

Pete Davidson’s life has been very noteworthy lately. After essentially luring Kim Kardashian away from Kanye West, Pete made even more noise by joining Miley Cyrus as a guest on Jimmy Fallon’s show on Friday night (Dec. 10).

Pete and Miley seemed to get a long well, and they allegedly went to spend more time together after the show. This inspired fans to think they were now potentially an item, and Pete had neglected his current standing with Kim K.

During the Fallon show though, Pete spoke about how he and Miley got matching tattoos in 2017 because of a skit they did together on Saturday Night Live, and that he subsequently got the tattoo burned off: “(The tattoo artist) was so excited, and I had mine burned off and you (Miley) kept yours.”

This coincides with what Pete has said recently about wanting to get all of his tattoos removed. He has 104 on his body, but explained to Life & Style magazine in November that he wants to get them burned off because he sometimes spends hours covering them off for acting roles: “It would be easier to get them burned off.”

The reason he has so many is because he liked to substitute self-harm with getting tattoos in very emotional parts of his life. But, they have seemed to become a nuisance for him, leading to his desire to get them removed. 

In the November interview, he also said that he expects all of his dozens of tattoos to be completely gone by age 30, as he is 28 currently: “I get my next treatment [in] like a month or so. They said by the time I’m 30, they should all be gone. So they got like two more years left of this.”

Do you think it is worth the trouble to have all those tattoos removed?

Megan announced that she had finished her degree in a post on Instagram: “Meg Thee Graduate I know my parents are looking down on me so proud Thank you everyone for all the love today.”

“I want to get my degree because I really want my mom to be proud,” she said in an interview with People. “I want my big mama to be proud. She saw me going to school before she passed. My grandmother that’s still alive used to be a teacher, so she’s on my butt about finishing school. I’m doing it for me, but I’m also doing it for the women in my family who made me who I am today.”

Stevie J Plans To Speak With Attorneys After Delta Kicked Him Off Flight

by

Most recently, Stevie J has made news because of his pending divorce with his wife of three years, Faith Evans. But, even when he tries to get away from the drama of his relationship, he still finds trouble.

When at the airport on Friday (Dec. 10) in Los Angeles, Stevie J and his son were removed from their flights for not complying with Delta employees soon enough. According to TMZ, they were drinking alcohol in the airport terminal while waiting for their flight, and when boarding began, they tried to bring their alcohol on the plane.

The Delta employees asked them to throw away their drinks before boarding, but Stevie J’s son decided to finish his drink before disposing of it. This angered the employees, and they had Stevie J and his son thrown off the plane.

They did not face any further repercussions, and were able to catch another plane to Atlanta to celebrate Stevie J’s daughter Eva’s 12th birthday party.

When asked for comment, Delta did not release the names of those who caused their flight’s delay, but acknowledge it happened. They did not ban Stevie J or his son from future Delta flights.

Stevie J told TMZ that he believes this event was racially motivated, as he looked very upset while consulting with the Delta employees. He will discuss his options with his attorneys and proceed however he sees fit.

Hopefully Stevie J can now stay safe and drama-free in the near future.

On Thursday, Ye and Drake’s Larry Hoover benefit concert finally went down, to great acclaim. Ye performed a number of tracks from throughout his catalog while Drake stuck to songs from Certified Lover Boy. The concert also offered some merchandise for attendees and viewers at home to purchase, ranging from hoodies, jeans, and t-shirts. As the show was a benefit concert for Larry Hoover, the incarcerated founder of Chicago’s Gangster Disciples gang, many wondered where the profits from the show would go. Just a couple of days after the concert, we have an answer (sort of).

According to GQ, a representative confirmed that the sales made from the merchandise sold with the concert will not be donated to charity. It’s unknown where the money will go, but the representative confirmed the funds will not be given to organizations like criminal justice reform groups. However, that is not the case for the ticket sales from the concert. Those will reportedly be donated to those groups, leaving them to receive a sizeable amount of money as a result of the benefit show.

This comes after a report revealed that federal officials were “surprised” and upset about Drake and Ye’s support towards Larry Hoover. They struggled to understand why they would vouch for Hoover’s release, a man they called “the worst of the worst.”

The WRLDFMS Tony Williams & Chandler Moore Share Emotional New Song, “Anymore”

by

For his final release of the year, The WRLDFMS Tony Williams has shared, “Anymore,” a soulful collaboration with Chandler Moore that fully demonstrates the recording artist’s far-reaching vocal abilities.

“Laced with upright piano, horns, and plenty of vocal acrobatics, ‘Anymore’ is a soulful slow jam about pain, emotional baggage, and helping hands,” a press release explains of the nearly 4-minute long single. “Guest artist Chandler Moore (of Maverick City Music) gets a piece of the action too, resulting in a tag-teamed duet that blends melancholy R&B with the uplift of gospel and fluid freedom of jazz.”

In the first half of 2021, Williams appeared on KING & COUNTRY’s #1 song, “Amen (Reborn)” as well as Kanye West’s GRAMMY-nominated DONDA. From the sounds of things, the past 12 months have been full of W’s for the recording artist, with more big things to come in 2022.

What are your thoughts on “Anymore”? Leave a comment below and tell us how you feel about the soulful song.

Quotable Lyrics:

You know that I’m broken when you’re hurting inside
How can you go when you know that I’m trying?
But how can you cope when you know that I’m lying?
You don’t have to cry-y-y-y-y
Oh, anymore, no, no

LeBron James Loves Tory Lanez’s New 80s Album

by

Tory Lanez’s new album Alone At Prom, released on Dec. 10, has been making tons of noise in the hip-hop world. As an 80s-inspired R&B experiment, Tory showcases his standout singing and melodic ability.

Promotional singles “Lady of Namek” and “’87 Stingray” added tons of hype before the project came out, as this new era of Tory Lanez is one of his most impressive. It is quality enough to garner the attention of NBA star and ambassador LeBron James.

LeBron is famed for his car listening sessions, often jamming out to brand new rap tracks in hit car and praising the artist on his Instagram story. He did just that on Saturday (Dec. 11). with Alone At Prom, posting himself listening to two of the album’s songs.

As he vibed to songs like the album’s opener “Enchanted Waterfall” and its fourth song “The Color Violet,” Bron showed Tory love: “MAN THIS BOY COLD AS HELL MAN!!! ALONE AT PROM IS (fire emojis).”

Alone At Prom is Tory’s second project of 2021, as he released his “capsule” Playboy in March, full of his famed melodic trap and a stunning feature from Chris Brown.

Tory has always seemed like a more low-key artist, only celebrated by those outside of the mainstream. This is what makes a shoutout from LeBron a pleasant surprise, and Tory responded by confirming Bron’s opinion: “THE KING @KINGJAMES HAS SPOKEN.”

New Dr. Dre & Eminem Collab Track Preview Has Surfaced

by

In the world of hip-hop, Dr. Dre and Eminem have solidified their status as legends, and as they years go on, their iconography only continues to grow. While they’ve moved away from making the kinds of music they were putting out at their peak, the two old friends still have some hits left in them, as proved by the latest preview of their forthcoming collaboration.

As reported by HioHop n More, this coming Wednesday, December 15th will see the release of a new GTA V Online mode update, including new weapons, missions, cars, and a storyline.

One year prior, the Compton native was added into Grand Theft Auto thanks to the Cayo Perico Heist update, and it’s been noted that the game’s latest version will be “largely centred around” Dre. It’s also been announced that “a ton of new and unreleased exclusive tracks” from the “I Need A Doctor” artist are set to come with the update.

Dre has already teased a snippet of an Anderson .Paak collaboration, and Snoop Dogg and Busta Rhymes are also both set to make appearances. In yet another leak, the 56-year-old can be heard alongside Eminem, the two of them seemingly paying homage to some of their earlier hits and flows that got them to where they are today.

The “Still D.R.E.” rapper has a lot to celebrate lately. On top of the GTA news, he also recently announced that he’s “divorced af,” and of course, he’s got his Super Bowl Halftime Show performance quickly approaching in the new year to look forward to.

Check out the snipped of Em and Dre below.

Juice WRLD, Polo G & Trippie Redd Team Up On “Feline”

by

During Juice WRLD’s career, he shifted the game in ways that many can’t. He could just as easily dabble into the emo-pop route just as quickly as he could rattle off bars for hours on end. He was a well-rounded rapper who earned the respect of his peers through his work ethic and talent. That’s why he was only a year in his career when he did a whole joint project with Future, or completely dominated the charts with his breakout single.

With his passing, his team has been tasked with sharing new music from the vault. On Friday, fans received Fighting Demons which includes a collaboration with Juice, Polo G, and Trippie Redd called “Felines.” Produced by Nick Mira and Sidepce, Juice, Polo G, and Trippie Redd share a melodic banger that delves into their disdain for the opposition.

Check the song out below.

Quotable Lyrics
They put in years on that one with some real vest
Yo’ boyfriend still on the porch, he ain’t in the field yet
Them guns blatt, no hit and run, you get your grill rattled
You had it rough when you was young, so I can feel that

Alicia Keys Taps Pusha T On “Plentiful”

by

Alicia Keys blessed fans with Alicia last year but now, she’s returned with another new project titled, Keys. In the streaming era, it isn’t uncommon for artists to pack songs onto the tracklist for commercial success. But when Alicia does it, you know there’s tons of thought and meticulous ear for detail that goes into the choice.

On her new album, Keys, which extends to 26 songs over the course of two discs, she hones into the hip-hop influence even further. No song better exemplifies this than the project opener, “Plentiful” ft. Pusha T. Push delivers a stellar verse while Alicia Keys’ soothing yet powerful vocal chops commandeer the gritty organs bouncing out of the production, which was co-produced by Alicia Keys and her husband, Swizz Beatz.

Check the song out below and sound off with your thoughts in the comments.

Quotable Lyrics
Still got it cheaper, though
Scales like a Libra, yo
Playin’ with these keys like Alicia, that’s a secret, though
Only on a need to know, nah, you don’t need to know
Had to tell the truth on this beat like Beanie Sigel, though
