Wendy Williams got dragged for her recent segment on TikTok star Swavy, who was murdered. On her show, Wendy makes light of his TikTok followers and seemingly tries to elevate herself in the moment. The audience applauded her when it was proclaimed that even though Swavy had more TikTok followers than her, Wendy had more Instagram followers. The moment was strange, watching a crowd clap over Instagram follower comparisons for a child that was just murdered. Nobody was impressed with Wendy afterward, and now Swavy’s family is calling her out. 

Swavy’s mom and older sibling, Chanell Clark and Rahkim Clark, recently spoke with TMZ. They demand that Wendy provide their family with an apology. Chanell is extremely angry, as she was there when her son drew his last breaths. Swavy was shot. “Wendy has always been a messy person,” stated Rahkim.”This is not just any other story, this is not a highlight, this is not a hot topic, this is our real life.”

“I’m so pissed off, because you did him like that,” said Chanell through tears. “I’m looking for an apology, I do want an apology.” Do you think Wendy will say sorry? Check out the 2-minute video below.

How much would you pay for a pristine piece of your childhood? $1.5 million? That’s exactly how much a prime copy of Super Mario 64 just went for. The Legend of Zelda for the NES sold for $870,000 at auction just days before, setting a new record. However, the Super Mario 64purchase, which amounted to $1,560,000, destroyed that record pretty quickly. 

The game was auctioned off by Heritage Auctions. The game was given a 9.8 rating on the Wata Scale. Heritage Auctions claimed that it was one of fewer than five known sealed copies in such unbelievable condition. The auction started on July 9 and ended on July 11. The starting price for the game was $100,000.Over the last two years, there’s been a crazy push for nostalgic items. Nostalgic relics of the 80s and 90s, such as Pokemon cards, have been picking up steam on the auction markets lately. 

Super Mario 64 dropped in 1996, and featured the famous plumbed trying to save Princess Peach from Bowser. It is the first Mario game to use 3D gameplay and helped secure the Nintendo 64 as one of the greatest systems of the time. Of course, games like Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Mario Kart, and Super Smash Bros. were also major hits. 

Twitter is going crazy after G Herbo’s girlfriend Taina Williams started trending over the weekend. Apparently, Herbo was spotted at his ex Ari Fletcher’s birthday bash in Atlanta. Meanwhile, Taina is home with their newborn child. Nosy fans also noticed that Taina was no longer following G Herbo on Instagram. 

There hasn’t been any confirmation on if Taina and G Herbo are going through any issues, although Twitter connected the dots between Ari’s party and the unfollowing to draw their own conclusions. 

“I ain’t go lie, to be honest, I feel like, I really feel like opposites attract in a way,” said Herbo of Taina when describing how much he cared for her. “I ain’t never really—she just pure, through and through. You know what I’m sayin’? She not afraid to like, express her feelings, tell me how she feel about stuff. Even when it’s like, I don’t understand it all the time, she’ll tell me something where I feel like she kinda like, dissin’ me a little bit. But she really ain’t, she tellin’ me something that really build me.”

Hopefully, everything is alright between the two, but Twitter seems to be going in on Herbo in the meantime. 

The Blueface and 6ix9ine saga continues. The two rappers have been going it at online, which was sparked by 6ix9ine making slick comments about Blueface’s new tattoo. Blueface got a tat of his jeweler’s business’ name, to which 6ix9ine claimed that he must owe the business some money. The feud has been going back and forth online since then.

Wack 100, Blueface’s manager, wants to set up a fighting match between the two, which is something the hip-hop community would love. “@6ix9ine @bluefasebleedem was one of the #Violators whole lotta #smashing going on just ask Sarah,” wrote Wack 100 on Instagram, referencing a clip where 6ix9ine talks about beating up his ex-girlfriend. “Now come take it out on him I got the bag bet you go to bed the 1st round — it’ll be good for the culture you owe the world redemption anyways.”

It looks like 6ix9ine may have done what he’s best at to further antagonize Blueface: snitch. Blueface took to social media to claim that his Instagram had been deleted because 6ix9ine reported his page for bullying several times. “Mans came for me got his feelings hurt so he did what rats do an snitched 🐀😂,” tweeted Blueface. “Pay close attention he reported all my post for bullying 🐀 an deleted his skit 😂 playing victim like he did in court 🤦🏽‍♂️my IG be back up shortly”

Conor McGregor snapped his ankle in the first round of his fight against Dustin Poirier on July 10. The injury looks to be the worst McGregor has suffered, and is gruesome to watch. He did it to himself on an awkward movement, although Poirier claims that he was responsible for wearing the ankle down. Conor, of course, decided to take shots at Poirer by claiming his wife was in his DMs, a lazy schoolboy tactic for a man who just lost a fight.

TMZ Sports reports that McGregor just underwent successful 3.5-hour surgery in Los Angeles. Doctors reportedly inserted a rod in his tibia and his fibula was fixed with plates and screws. The head of sports trauma at Cedars, Dr. Ellatrache, and trauma orthopedic surgeon Milton Little completed the procedure on McGregor. He is expected to remain in the hospital until Tuesday or Wednesday. The road to recovery is unclear for McGregor, although it’s safe to assume he won’t be fighting again this year. 

 McGregor posted on social media after the injury, captioning an image of him being carted away, “You need people like me.” It’s unclear where McGregor can go from here, although Poirier may welcome a fourth fight down the line. 

A woman on an American Airlines flight had to be duct-taped to her seat after trying to open plane doors. The lady was allegedly having a mental breakdown. The incident occurred on American Airlines Flight 1774. Allegedly, the woman bit flight attendants and tried to force open the plane doors. A video of the incident was posted, then deleted, from TikTok by user @lol.ariee.

In subsequent videos, @lol.ariee explains that the two-hour flight on July 6 from Dallas-Fort Worth to Charlotte, NC, started getting crazy an hour into the trip. “It was just kind of like chaos and no one knows what’s going on,” she stated, explaining the flight attendants were hurriedly rushing up and down isles, locking bathrooms, and grabbing bags from overhead drawers.

Soon after, the pilot announced that there was, “a bad situation in the plane right now,” according to @lol.ariee. “Then we’re gradually starting to hear more and more screaming, and we’re like, ‘Wait a minute.'”

A flight attendant later told @lol.ariee that someone, “had an outburst and like, had the urge to get off the plane. And she was saying, ‘I need to get off this plane,’ and she went up to the exits and started banging on the doors, saying, ‘You need to let me off this plane!’”

American Airlines told The New York Post that the duct-taped woman assaulted and bit a flight attendant after she “attempted to open the forward boarding door” and was bound “for the safety and security of other customers and our crew.”

Yung Bleu hopped on Twitter just a few days ago to proclaim that his neighbors stole his puppies. “Attention to all my neighbors. I tried you be a good Niegbor. But y’all mfs done stole my damn dogs,” tweeted Bleu.”I no it sound funny but look ! I’m throwing big loud azz parties everyday until my dawgs are returned it’s fenna get real ghetto at my estates.” 

Bleu even took things to Instagram, adding, “Ain’t nobody getting no rest around this bitch until my dogs are returned and I’m keeping my bright azz court lights on all night. Ya’ll mfs don’t call complaining about shit! I’M FENNA BE WHO YA’LL THOUGHT I WAS GONNA BE CUZ I KNOW IT WAS ONE OF YA’LL MFS. Project X every week around this bitch, loud music and ghetto shit.”

It looks like his plot worked, because the young rapper had his dogs returned to him. 

“Aye you found the puppies. No more parties,” declares Bleu in a video where two White women give him his puppies back. 

Celebrity dog heists have been wild as of late, with the horrific story surrounding Lady Gaga’s dog situation being an example. It’s good to see no one was harmed when it came to Yung Bleu’s dogs. 

Fans want more Pop Smoke music, and Steven Victor says it’s on the way. In fact, Victor, who managed the late artist, has been teasing the nation with the release via posters and signs. Some posters in New York City and Los Angeles include QR codes that take fans to snippets of the new project.

Although the album release is just around the corner, there has been no title reveal. Until now. Victor tweeted, “Pop Smoke ‘FAITH’ July 16 2021” on Sunday, June 11, just a handful of days before the project is set to be released. Now that fans have a title, they will want Victor to share a tracklist. The list of features has also been kept on the low. At one point, Quavo and Pop Smoke were working on a joint project, so fans expect the Migos rapper to be on the project. They also suspect Dua Lipa will feature, due to a tribute post she made to the rapper on social media. 

Pop Smoke was killed last February, and his most recent album, Shoot for the Stars, Aim for the Moon, dropped in summer 2020. It debuted at number one on Billboard 200 while every song charted individually as well.
