Warriors star Stephen Curry spoke candidly about his future in Golden State, this week, with just one more year on his current contract following this season. The three-time NBA Champion says his priority is staying with the Warriors; however, he admitted that anything can happen.
“It’s always been a priority [to stay with the Warriors],” Curry said. “… You never know what can happen, obviously. But I feel like that’s always been something that would mean so much to me.”
Curry also referenced Kobe Bryant and Dirk Nowitzki who both spent their entire careers with one team.
Warriors head coach Steve Kerr recently spoke about how well Curry is performing this year, admitting that he is still “in awe” of his skill:
“It seems like every night, even though I say nothing surprises me, I’m still in awe of the shot-making,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr said. “It’s just incredible. The level of confidence and skill is just stunning. It’s beautiful to watch. It’s a man at the peak of his powers with a lifetime of training and work, and not just on his body, but on his mind. This is a guy who is functioning at a level that very few human beings ever function at in their particular field. It’s just beautiful to watch.”
The Warriors are currently 28-28 and in 9th place in the Western Conference Standings.

Britney Spears answered numerous fans’ questions on Instagram, Friday, amidst the “Free Brittney” movement that has grown in response to the New York Times documentary Framing Britney Spears. The documentary details Spears’ career and ongoing 13-plus years spent in a conservatorship battle.
“The next question is, am I okay?” Spears says in the video. “Yes, I’m totally fine. I’m extremely happy. I have a beautiful home, beautiful children. I’m taking a break right now because I’m enjoying myself.”
Spears‘ conservatorship has been mainly overseen by her dad since 2008.
“Yes, I get extremely dizzy,” Spears says. “But I’m a dancer, so as long as I have a focus for my head as I turn, as long as I keep finding that spot, usually in the end it’s not as bad.”
She also spoke about a picture she shared of a vintage refrigerator on social media: “What does the red refrigerator mean on my Instagram? Honestly, I just thought it was cool. I thought it was vintage, it was red. And it’s just really cool.”
In the caption of her video, Spears explained, “This was me yesterday before I went to Malibu randomly in my boyfriend’s brown blazer to stay in disguise … but s— … the paps still found me!!!!”

“Man, we got so much new music coming,” Bobby proclaimed during the interview. “We got music coming with the biggest artists, from Maino, Quavo, DaBaby, 42 [Dugg], Uzi, Rowdy [Rebel], Jay. There is so much sh*t coming out it’s gonna be a hot summer.”

Shmurda’s upcoming album will be his first project since 2014’s Shmurdaville. Earlier this week, he teased his return to the studio on Instagram.

Megan Fox intends to “get engaged and married” to Machine Gun Kelly, a source close to the couple has informed E!. Fox is still in the legal process of finalizing her divorce from her ex-husband, Brian Austin Green. Fox and Green married in 2010 before separating a decade later in 2020.
Once the divorce is finalized, Fox and Kelly “plan to get engaged and married,” according to the source, who added that, “they are very much in love and have a strong and intense relationship. Her divorce is moving along, and they are hashing out custody details.”
The couple “have no doubt that they are soulmates and meant to be life partners,” the source continued to E!.
“Colson is slowly getting to know the kids and everything is going well with that,” they added. “Megan has not wanted to rush them into anything. But she has been incorporating Colson into their life, and it’s going well.”
Fox and Kelly began dating in June 2020, soon after the separation of Fox and Green. The actress recently spoke with Nylon about her love for Kelly in glowing terms: “Loving him is like being in love with a tsunami or a forest fire. The intensity of merging with him is just overwhelming, and the threat it poses is so powerful but so beautiful that you have no choice to surrender with reverence and with gratitude.”

Saweetie has responded to criticism of her music from fans who claim she uses samples too often in her music. In a new interview with Harper’s Bazaar, she remarked that fans can expect “Lots of samples,” from her next project, to “Make the people mad.”
When asked to elaborate, she explained that she plans on sampling for the “rest of my life” and that the technique is her specialty:
I think greatness makes people uncomfortable. And I think people try to come up with excuses to not like me and to make themselves feel better about their life. I don’t get as offended as I used to, because there was a point in time where I was dragged for, like, two years on social media. I was trending on Twitter for some bullshit every other day. I never defended myself, because I’m not really a social media pop off-er—I’d rather just pop off in person. So overcoming those obstacles and those negative viral tweets was just to work super hard. I’m gonna sample for the rest of my life; it’s my specialty. Tons of people sample, but my samples just get the most recognition.
Saweetie’s newest single, released earlier this week, shows the rapper coming at her ex, Quavo, after the two publically parted ways, earlier this year. Check out “See Saw” here.

The unfortunate news comes just a week after a video of Black Rob in a hospital surfaced online. In it, the rapper can be seen struggling to talk while he sent condolences to DMX, who passed away last week. A day later, another video arrived, but this time it showed that Black Rob was out of the hospital. He did speak, however, about health issues and other struggles he’s been dealing with over the past few years, including a stint of homelessness.
“Oh man, I’ve been dealing with this for five years,” he said. “Four strokes … I don’t know what to tell you man. Sh*t is crazy. The sh*t is hard. I don’t got no house to live in — except maybe an apartment.”
Black Rob dropped his first album back in 2000 with Life Story. The project would debut at No. 3 on the Billboard and house his most successful solo single, “Whoa.” He would go on to release a total of four full-length projects in his career with the first two coming under the Bad Boy imprint. His most release was his 2015 mixtape, Genuine Article.
