Conor McGregor Seemingly Threatened To Kill Dustin Poirier & His Wife

Leading up to the trilogy fight between Dustin Poirier and Conor McGregor, the latter of the two continuously made some out-of-bounds comments about how the fight would. Essentially, McGregor was saying that Poirier would be taken off on a stretcher and that the man wouldn’t be able to make it home to his family. While this was classic McGregor promotion, it was still something that made Poirier incredibly uncomfortable, and by fight night, Poirier was ready to make Conor pay.

As we all know by now, Poirier won the fight as McGregor’s ankle snapped at the end of the first round. During Poirier’s post-fight interview with Joe Rogan, McGregor continued to yell at Poirier, and at one point, he said Poirier’s wife was in his DMs. Now, however, it appears as though Conor may have said something much more sinister and disrespectful.

Thanks to a Twitter thread from Out Of Context MMA, a new clip from just outside of the Octagon shows McGregor making some threats towards Poirier and his family. “In your sleep you’re getting it, in your sleep you’re dead, you and your Mrs, it ain’t over,” McGregor can be heard saying. In fact, after the fight, Poirier told numerous reporters that McGregor was making a gun-to-the-head motion with his fingers and that he kept saying he would kill Dustin.

In the clip below, the crowd noise muffles what McGregor is saying, although you can tell that the quote above is in the ballpark of what was said. McGregor has been known to get disrespectful at times, however, there are some lines that just shouldn’t be crossed.

Jada Pinkett Smith Shaves Her Head

Jada Pinkett Smith has taken a page out of her daughter Willow’s book, shaving her head and showing off the results on Instagram.

Willow restarted her hair journey a year ago, documenting her growth on social media for her fans to follow along with. It appears as though the 20-year-old artist influenced her mother to do the same because, on Monday morning, Jada Pinkett Smith showed off her freshly shaved head for the first time.

“Willow made me do it because it was time to let go,” explained Jada in her caption. “BUT … my 50’s are bout to be Divinely lit with this shed.”

Jada is turning fifty later this year, getting ready for the milestone by letting go of her locks. Most commenters are congratulating the actress for taking such a risky step with her look while others say she could have done a better job of shaving her head, pointing out that there’s a patch of hair she missed at the top. 

In other recent Jada news, she recently spoke about the time she passed out on the set of The Nutty Professor from a bad batch of ecstasy. Another story involving her went viral when it was revealed that she allegedly told Tupac not to beat up Will Smith when they started dating. You can read more about that here

Doja Cat Pulls A Beyonce After Taking A Hard Fall Onstage

Doja Cat’s applaudable showmanship were on full display when she bounced back from an abrupt fall during a Miami performance on Saturday night.

The singer was performing her hit featuring Rico Nasty, “Tia Tamera,” when she slipped and fell on her back while rocking out to the track. Fans in the audience screamed out in shock, but Doja jumped right back up on her knees and continued slinging her hair, channeling Beyonce’s equally-unreal recovery after falling down a flight of stairs on stage during a 2007 show.

Social media applauded Doja for getting up and acting as if nothing had happened, one commenter sharing, “That’s how you do it. Act like nothing happened and keep it going.” Doja was as carefree as ever about the incident, tweeting out “somebody send me the video of me falling last night. Post in thread below thank u.”

The “Kiss Me More” singer’s bounce back shows she is not planning on letting anything get in the way of the success of her recent album, Planet Her. The project with features from Young Thug, The Weekend, and JID soared to the top of the charts, earning her the spot of the biggest first-day debut for a female rapper in Spotify history.

Doja even retweeted a fan’s post of a looped version of her fall suggesting she could make a beat out of it– and considering her retweet, it seems as though she may be up for the challenge. If anyone could pull off making a song using audio from their own slip, it would be Doja. 

Check out the hard fall below.

Man Posts Photo Of His Mother Meeting “Snoop Dogg” & Instantly Regrets It

Snoop Dogg’s doppelgänger is on the loose again and this time, he’s taking pictures with the mother of a popular podcast host.

Co-host of the She Rates Dogs podcast, Mat George posted a picture this weekend of his mother meeting the one-and-only Snoop Dogg, but people were quick to point out that the man pictured with his mom isn’t the rapper at all. In fact, he appears to be a look-a-like named Eric Finch, who has been appearing at events as the legend for years.

“I’ve been in LA for a year and haven’t seen a single celebrity. My mom comes for a weekend and meets Snoop Dogg,” wrote George on Sunday. After the tweet started picking up hundreds of responses, he added, “Can everyone stop saying it’s not Snoop Dogg. My mom’s gonna be heartbroken the next time she logs onto Twitter.”

People have some pretty hilarious replies to the honest mistake, which you can scroll through below. We don’t blame Mat’s mom for thinking this was Snoop — they definitely look pretty similar. 

In actual Snoop Dogg news, the legendary rapper recently announced that he will be performing for the Once Upon A Time In LA festival. He also revealed the identity of the one celebrity who can’t hang with him when it comes to weed-smoking, which you can check out here.

Raekwon Explains Why His First OutKast Collab Was So Important

The legendary Raekwon is the latest emcee to chop it up with Talib Kweli and Jasmin Leigh on The People’s Party, and the Wu-Tang lyricist used the opportunity to drop a near-endless supply of gems.

And while there are plenty of insightful moments to be found throughout, one of the most interesting arrives when Rae reflects on his first collaboration with OutKast, “Skew It On The Bar-B.” Originally released on OutKast’s 1998 classic Aquemini, the track marked the first time that the New York-based Wu-Tang representer linked up with an act from the South, marking a major milestone in rap unity.

“That was the realest shit right there,” notes Rae, after Leigh cites how surprising the collab was at the time. “At the time in the nineties where the music was really bubbling, the South was still curating their vibe and their sound. I was living in Atlanta, I had a penthouse. I used to live next to the mall. One day I was coming out of the mall, normal shit. I seen Big Boi, and the image was golden right away.” 

He explains that the pair immediately showed each other love off the bat. “Me, just being in his city and respecting OutKast as artists, paving the way, I’m like we need to glide, when we gliding?” says Rae. “He was like whenever! It was so natural, it was like seeing my cousin or something. Next thing we know, we made the song. At that time they already had they way up, but South music wasn’t being detected up in New York City.”

“This collaboration introduced the South to the airwaves up in the city,” explains Rae. “Now, cats in the city are playing cats from other places. It was fun, it was like hanging with my cousins. But not really knowing this record would open up doors for the South for guys from up top…One thing about us, we been in both sections before rap, so we know how to honor n***as wherever we go.”
