City Girls’ JT Faces Heavy Backlash After She Apparently Blocked A Fan On Twitter With Cancer

City Girls’ JT hasn’t had the best of experiences on Twitter over the past few months. On Saturday, she once again found herself in some controversy on the social media app. It came as a result of an interaction with a fan, Shaddai Randolph, who reach out to the rapper in hopes of speaking with her as she continues her fight against cancer.

“Hey JT sorry to bother u I know I’ve said this b4 but I’m a fan of urs & I think ur amazing & funny,” Randolph said. “Seeing u help me keeps my spirits up when I’m in pain. Im dying & have cancer. You said u would DM me but never did. I still would like facetime u for 5mins if possible Luv u.”

Some people on Twitter caught wind of Randolph’s tweet and tried to boost it in hopes that it would catch JT’s attention. Unfortunately, that was not the case. The fan revealed soon after that the City Girls rapper had blocked her instead. “She blocked me y’all won,” she said. “Y’all [keep sending] me death messages and [sending] me emails to die on my go fund me or to my mother. Y’all won I get it.”

Afterward, many began to question JT’s decision to block Randolph, but according to the rapper, it was all a misunderstanding.

“Omg y’all lie too bad on here & it gotta be a spam account,” she said to begin a string of now-deleted tweets. “ima call now to really find out cause ughn ughn.” After one of her followers said they also believed Randolph was a bot, JT added, “Me too. Ima just pray for her that’s stronger than a phone call.” Despite this, the attacks against her continued to rain in, causing her to return shots against her critics in a string of tweets before deciding to delete her Twitter page.

“THAT WAS A MISUNDERSTANDING BUT FOREAL NOW ITS F*CK YALL,” she said. “I almost went live to explain myself & I remembered I don’t owe y’all sh*t I didn’t even do sh*t just making up sh*t Go ahead. I followed her back & everything wtf …. before I could actually get to call she was spamming me I went through her page & thought it was fake!” She added, I gotta be getting bigger the hate coming from all angles no matter how it all goes down I’ll always win!!!!!”

76ers, Heat, & More Working On Trade For Larry Nance Jr.: Report

Several teams with postseason aspirations are interested in trading for Larry Nance Jr. of the Cleveland Cavaliers, but Chris Fedor of Cleveland.com reports that the organization is steadfast in not giving up the versatile young forward. 

According to Fedor, Minnesota, Boston, Philadelphia, New Orleans, Miami, and Dallas have all inquired as to Nance’s availability. Even Nance’s former Lakers teammate, D’Angelo Russell has advocated that the Timberwolves make a deal for Nance.

As for what’s holding back a potential trade? Fedor explains that the Cavs value Nance’s off-the-court presence in the community just as much as his on-the-court prowess:

But the Cavs keep telling opposing teams that Nance, who is expected to be back in the lineup on March 12 following surgery on his fractured left hand, isn’t available. They recognize what he means to the city and organization. It’s hard to see an immediate path to improvement by sending him away. Who — or what — is considered an upgrade? Altman has even joked with opposing execs about having to trade himself in any Nance deal because fans, coaches and players would quickly turn on him.

Nance joined the Cavs in 2018 after being traded in exchange for Isaiah Thomas, Channing Frye, and a 2018 first-round draft pick.

Sony Files Patent For Players To Use Household Items & Food As PlayStation Controllers

Sony Interactive Entertainment Inc. has filed a patent for an idea that would allow users of the PlayStation to turn household items and food products into PlayStation controllers through augmented reality.

The request, filed with The United States Patent and Trademark Office, includes an illustration of a banana being used as a PlayStation controller.

“The system comprises an input unit operable to obtain images of a non-luminous passive object held by a user as a video game controller,” the patent explains. “E.g. a player may hold two bananas – one in each respective hand; or e.g two oranges – one in each respective hand.”

The patent is simply an application, meaning Sony does not have a finished product ready or even confirmed plans to release one.

“It would be desirable if a user could use an inexpensive, simple, and non-electronic device as a video game peripheral,” the patent continues.

Sony released their newest PlayStation console at the end of 2020, which included a new DualSense wireless controller. Despite having been released months ago, the PlayStation 5 is still difficult to find at most retailers. In early 2021, reports suggested that a massive PS5 restock in February would keep the system on shelves but that has not been the case.

Saweetie Fans Think A Collaboration With Nicki Minaj Is On The Way

While Saweetie has graced the music world with a few hits and a number of memorable moments, one thing she hasn’t accomplished is releasing her debut album. Entitled, Pretty B*tch Music, the project is on the way, but before it arrives, the Bay Area will join forces with an “iconic” name for an upcoming song.

She shared the news in a recent Instagram post that was captioned, “pretty b*tchin omw to the studio to do a feature for someone……. guess who…… hint: she’s iconic.” The post caused fans to share their theories for who the unnamed act could be, and many concluded that it was Nicki Minaj.

Supporters of both rappers took to Twitter to share their thoughts on a potential new song between Saweetie and Nicki. “I would be here for a Nicki collab ngl,” one user said while another said, “the next pretty b*tch better be Nicki!!! she should’ve been the first tbh (crying emoji).” If the song Saweetie teased is indeed a collaboration with Nicki, it would mark the first time the two rappers have worked together.

Others were a bit skeptical that the upcoming track was a collab with Minaj. Some pointed out that Saweetie’s post did not specify that the song was with another hip-hop act, causing names like Ariana Grande, Adele, and SZA to come up as fans tried to figure out who the iconic name was.

You can view Saweetie’s post above and read some reactions below.

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

Cardi B Further Explains Why She Got Into The Doll Business After Deactivating Her Twitter

Cardi B has never been one to shy away from addressing her noisiest critics. While usually one to stand tall in her opinions, the criticism she faced on Twitter yesterday after announcing the release of a collectible doll in her likeness on Friday (March 5) seemed to be too hot for the “Up” rapper and she subsequently deactivated. Some criticized the doll’s clothing for resembling stripper attire, while some were unclear why she was releasing a line of children’s toys if she has stated in the past that she doesn’t want to be a role model. She took to Instagram this week to clarify why she got into the doll business in the first place.

“Hey guys, so when this doll deal got presented to me the reason I went through with it is because I’m a girls mom and y’all know how crazy I go with my nieces on Christmas and everything, right,” she began in the video.

She continued, getting into the details as to why she styled the doll the way she did. “And I just be like wow, nowadays, these dolls are not like Barbies they are way more expensive, they come with way more fashion, they come with way more [diversity], they come so chic and I constantly gotta spend money on these dolls because like, my daughter constantly wants me to buy these dolls she actually has a preference for them so it’s like you know what, why am I not gonna get into the doll business,” she continued. 

She went on, “Cus one thing that people are never gonna stop having are daughters and they’re never gonna stop buying dolls. And every other week there’s a new doll coming out and the girls sell, so I’m gonna sell my own sh*t. 

She finished, “Sh*t, what the f*ck. Y’all know about my money game.” 

Cardi has also faced heat for the doll’s unrealistic body proportions and has remained off Twitter since the sold-out collection debuted.

What do you think of Cardi’s explanation for getting into the doll business? Sound off in the comments.

DeMar DeRozan Upset Over All-Star Game Snub

This year’s NBA All-Star Game has been controversial for a whole plethora of reasons. Among these reasons is the fact that there have been a lot of deserving players who have missed out on the game. For instance, it took Devin Booker an injury to be named to the game, only for himself to get an injury, which allowed Mike Conley of the Utah Jazz to enter the festivities. 

Conley’s inclusion has already led to some detractors, as there are plenty of fans who believe Conley shouldn’t be there. In fact, fans are curious as to why DeMar DeRozan was snubbed, especially when you consider how he has better stats than Conley in almost every single category. Not to mention, DeRozan is the main star of his team while Conley is a third option on the Jazz. 

DeRozan actually ended up commenting on the whole controversy as he was clearly upset about being snubbed.

“Gets to a point where you just gotta laugh at the bullshit,” DeRozan said. Given everything DeRozan has been through over the last few years, this was definitely a huge snub, and it’s curious as to why the NBA would so blatantly leave him off of the roster.

Hopefully, this doesn’t discourage DeRozan too much, and he can continue having a productive season with his Spurs.
