Gal Gadot Shuts Off Comments Following Controversial Israel-Palestine Tweet

by

If you have been watching the news, then you may be aware of what has been happening between Isreal and Palestine. Images and photos of the Israeli military ejecting Palestinian families from their homes or Hamas and Israel’s rockets flying through the sky in the middle of the night or airstrikes devastating Gaza have taken over timelines, and the conflict has caused several celebrities to speak out. Many have chosen sides over the controversial political human rights issue, and Wonder Woman star Gal Gadot has received backlash after sharing her thoughts.

Gadot, who was previously a fighter for the Israeli Defense Force, reportedly tweeted that she was heartbroken over what is going on overseas. “Israel deserves to live as a free and safe nation,” Gadot tweeted. “Our neighbors deserve the same.”

“I pray for the victims and their families. I pray for this unimaginable hostility to end, I pray for our leaders to find the solution so we can live side by side in peace,” she said. “This is a vicious cycle that has been going on for far too long.” Israel has stood accused of “ethnic cleansing” according to Palestine supporters and soon Gadot faced a slew of backlash.

However, there were those who stood up for the actress, including Republican Senator Ted Cruz, but it all became too much for Gadot. She eventually turned off her comments, but that hasn’t stopped the uproar. She’s a leading trending topic on social media and her polarizing stance is being discussed worldwide.

Kourtney Kardashian Gives Travis Barker “I Love You” Tattoo

by

Since revealing their romance to the world, Travis Barker and Kourtney Kardashian haven’t let up. The reality star hasn’t been as public with her romances following her split from Scott Disick, the father of her three children. Kourtney and Scott were in an on-again-off-again relationship from 2005 to 2015, and while he’s been seen on the arm of young starlets like Bella Thorne and Sofia Richie, Kourtney has kept her private life behind the veil, that is until she linked up with friend Travis Barker.

The pair have been flaunting their PDA all over social media but their latest set of photos have caused a stir. Not only has he received an interesting candle in tribute to his girlfriend, but Barker also allowed her to tattoo him. Now, it can match the tattoo of her name he recently added to his collection.

The pair posted pictures that showed Kourtney at work as she inked “I love you” on his arm. Kourtney also shared an image of her Goop candle that reads, “This Smells Like Kourtney’s Orgasm.” As the couple revel in their love, Barker’s ex-wife and mother of his two children, Shanna Moakler, thinks the couple’s display of affections is odd.

“I’m very much over my ex. It’s been a long time. However, do I think some of the PDA that he’s doing with her is weird? [Yes],” Moakler told PEOPLE. “The movie, ‘True Romance,’ that I feel like they’ve been bonding over was the theme of our wedding. Our daughter’s named after the character in the movie. Flying banners overhead like we did on ‘Meet the Barkers.’ Stuff like that … I just think it’s weird.”

Snoop Dogg is undoubtedly a legend in the hip-hop world. His work dates back to the 1990s and to this day, the Long Beach rapper continues to release new music for his fanbase to enjoy. His most recent effort came back in April with From The Streets 2 Tha Suites, a ten-track album he released to celebrate the month’s weed-themed 4/20 holiday. Fast forward to the present and the rapper just revealed that he’s working on an anthology series about his life. In a recent interview with Yahoo Entertainment, the rapper spoke about the project and detailed what fans can expect.

“I think what makes the most sense to me is the Snoop Dogg anthology, the life story of Snoop Dogg where it starts with my mother and father meeting each other before I was even born, to me being born, to me growing through the ‘70s and ‘80s and the ‘90s,” he said. “Me being the ‘Black Forest Gump,’ so to speak, seeing me in all of these highlighted moments in American history. We’re developing that, putting it together as we speak, just trying to take my time and put the right information out.” Snoop also made sure to say that he’s in no rush to release the anthology series to the public.

“I want to take my time and make sure that I’ve put together the right infrastructure of how I became me—you know, the people that inspire me, my upbringing, my mother, my father, my friends, community influences, inspirations that shaped and molded me,” he said. “I don’t see it being a biopic because I can’t give all of this great information and entertainment in two hours. But if I give it to you in an anthology, you’re likely to get six or seven seasons of this.”

Soulja Boy’s Ex Nia Riley Bombarded With Hate Messages

by

The allegations against Soulja Boy are beginning to stack up. He’s facing lawsuits with alleged victims accusing him of domestic violence, holding them against their will, and assault, and most recently, he’s been tacked with another set of legal woes. In recent months, Soulja has been basking in his comeback thanks to TikTok helping “She Make It Clap” a hit, but we previously reported on the rapper being sued by an ex-girlfriend, listed as Jane Doe, who has accused him of domestic battery and causing her to have a miscarriage.

“(Jane Doe) and (DeAndre Way) first began their on-and-off romantic relationship in 2007,” the lawsuit states. “They restarted their relationship in a more serious capacity in 2014 until mid 2019 when (Doe) could no longer withstand (Way’s) constant abuse.” The unnamed accuser is reportedly seeking a trial and cites sexual battery, gender violence, negligence, and intentional and negligent infliction of emotional distress.

Recently, Nia Riley, daughter of music legend Teddy Riley and ex-girlfriend to Soulja Boy, alleged in an interview that she was pregnant with the rapper’s child and suffered a miscarriage after he reportedly kicked her in the stomach. She claimed he held a gun to her head in front of all of his friends but they decided not to do anything about it and just sat with him. 

While the lawsuit only states that Jane Doe is seeking her day in court, Nia has been receiving messages from the rapper’s fans throughout the day (May 12). “Not the first, won’t be the last,” she tweeted. She reposted a message from Maya Moody, the woman who has stated that Talib Kweli has been harassing her since July of last year. Moody wrote that for “300+ days” she hasn’t had peace, and Nia retweeted the message with a note.

“Yea. how I felt and y’all still keep doing this sh*t after I gave even more facts and details,” added Riley. She then shared a screenshot of a DM from one of Soulja Boy’s fans saying she “deserved what happened.” In the end, she claimed that her “character speaks for itself.” You can check out the posts below and click here to view Soulja Boy’s response to the accusations.

The Cowboys Schedule Release Video Has Post Malone And Jerry Jones Playing Beer Pong For Some Reason

by

The NFL held its 2021 schedule release on Wednesday night, as teams got to unveil their 17-game schedules which, as always, involved fun videos from their social media accounts to unveil their upcoming slate of games.

For some, like the Chiefs, this meant going back to old footage to craft a clever video to reveal their full schedule — pulling Reid saying “a good football team” for Washington was an especially nice touch.

Others put a lot more time, money, and effort into producing their schedule release video, and it should come as no surprise that Jerry Jones and the Cowboys tried to one-up everyone with their video. Dallas pulled in Post Malone to help with a wild video that involves him delivering the schedule to Jerry Jones and the two celebrating by playing beer pong, Post putting a giant Cowboys logo necklace on Jerry, and then the two making it rain schedules on Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott.

I like how much Zeke sold his part by jumping up and down trying to catch the mini schedules Post Malone and Jerry Jones were raining down on to him, and I guess when you’re the Cowboys you have the ability to spend whatever it cost to get Post Malone to do this. That Jerry put himself front and center is also unsurprising, and the funniest part is that the schedule just kind of flashes up there at the very end.

Tommie Lee Blasts Rah Ali For Posting About Her Daughter: “Miserable B*tch”

by

The relationship that Tommie Lee has with her daughter is a sensitive one. Last year, the mother-daughter duo was at odds and it all seemed to spill over onto social media. Samaria was 16 when she revealed that she was pregnant, adding that Tommie tried to trick her into having an abortion. The reality star returned with an explanation, stating that “as a mom, I’m disappointed,” also including that she was a teen mother and she just wanted her daughter to have options.

For Mother’s Day, Samaria reportedly shared a photo of herself with her grandmother and in the caption, she wrote, “You’ve seen here more than the people that brought me on this earth.” OnSite, Nicki Minaj’s good friend Rah Ali’s outlet, reposted the message, but Tommie didn’t appreciate it. “Rah you really a weird ass b*tch,” she commented.

“How low you will go to seek a like and a comment to continue to tie me in to this bullsh*t the remains this is a child but somehow it feels like I’m talking to one now you delusional miserable b*tch,” Tommie continued. “And to think you use to hit me everytime I was in Ny to eat wit cho washed ass b*tch don’t forget I’m on all the bullsh*t b*tch I play with kids too hoe thread lightly corny.”

“I see why nik or nobody f*cks with you side note b*tch you will never be Wendy and that’s sad that that’s the lane your in watch ya self b*tch see you soon!” Lee added. She made sure to tag Rah’s IG handle in the message and noted that she doesn’t want to hear anyone say that the post was made by one of Ali’s employees.

OnSite responded to Tommie by writing, “Tommie has responded to a Mother’s Day post her daughter posted to her grandmother. We reposted it with the most unbiased caption, and yet here we are. It’s unfortunate that in urban media, many of our entertainers think they can bully and intimidate us for reporting the news our followers care about.”

Late last month, Jack Harlow was caught a bit too close to a deadly nightclub shooting in his hometown of Lousiville, Kentucky. The incident occurred at the city’s Ultra Lounge, which he attended prior to that weekend’s Kentucky Derby. This incident left one woman, Kasmira Nash, dead and another man with non-life-threatening injuries. More than a week after the incident, a grand jury indicted Ronnie Luciano, Harlow’s DJ, on murder and tampering with evidence charges, which the rapper turned himself in for earlier this week. While Harlow stayed quiet as the incident and investigation unfolded, he finally broke his silence and spoke about the shooting in a post to his Instagram story.

“My heart is broken by the events that occurred over Derby weekend,” Harlow said. “My heart breaks for Kasmira, her children, and everyone else touched by this tragic death. My heart breaks for my city, a place that’s been through too much pain already. I’ve been in touch with Kasmira’s family during this unimaginably painful time, and I’m grateful to them for keeping the lines of communication open.” He added, “Nothing can reverse what happened. Too many lives have been changed forever, My life will remain committed to making Louisville a better place.”

You can view Harlow’s message in the post above.

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

by

His freestyle has been the talk of the Hip Hop scene today (May 12), but people have been divided over one of J. Cole’s bars. The Dreamville mogul has been carefully rolling out his highly anticipated album The Off-Season and there have been rumors that he’s slated to ball for Africa League’s Rwanda Patriots. To add to the already growing hype coming from Cole’s camp was his L.A. Leakers freestyle that quickly went viral.

Fans picked apart Cole’s lyrics but it was his Bill Cosby line that caught attention. “No Bill Cosby sh*t, if they’re sleeping then f*ck em,” spit Cole. Soon, “Bill Cosby” became a trending topic.

Some didn’t take the lyrics as being that controversial, but social media users were divided. There were those that praised Cole because they considered the Cosby mention to be the hardest bar in the freestyle, while others weren’t as pleased with the television icon’s sexual assault conviction being addressed so loosely. Even as discussions regarding Cole’s lyrics have continued throughout the day, several Hip Hop fans were confused because it certainly isn’t the most controversial line by a rapper.

Still, timeless were flooded with responses and reactions, so we’ve found a few and included them below. Let us know if you think people are being too sensitive or if you believe Cole crossed the line.
