He’s celebrated as one of the greatest boxers to ever lace up those gloves, but Floyd Mayweather has had just as many battles out of the ring as he has inside. The champion boxer will soon go toe-to-toe against Logan Paul next month in what’s expected to be an explosive bout and recently, he sat down with the Million Dollaz Worth of Game podcast where he discussed his career and successes at length, while also mentioning that he isn’t’ concerned with the naysayers.
His controversies include reports that he doesn’t know how to read and that jail stint he completed after pleading guilty to battery domestic violence back in 2011 in a case that involved the late mother of his children, Josie Harris. Mayweather has risen above his past mistakes, it seems, but he acknowledges that others haven’t.

“I feel like, the way I wanna live my life, I live my life the way I wanna live it and no matter what, you can’t please everybody because—it’s so crazy,” the boxer said before changing his thoughts. “In the beginning, I feel like people was rootin’ for me. Wanted the best for me. And the more and more, as I accomplished more and kept accomplishing things, then you start seeing different things.”
“You start seeing, ‘Oh, he’s a wife-beater’ or ‘He’s not that smart,'” Mayweather added. “You hear so many different things and I just felt like, okay, you’re entitled to believe whatever you wanna believe. But I had to have some type of common sense, some type of smarts, some type of intelligence, to be where I’m at.”
“I’ve been living this same life for twenty-five years.” Watch Floyd Mayweather on Million Dollaz Worth of Game below.
When you’re receiving $200K per show, you can most likely afford to swim in a pool littered with cash. Moneybagg Yo has been sitting on top of the world as his recently released project, A Gangsta’s Pain, debuted in the No. 1 spot. “Big Win For Da Streets,” the Memphis rapper wrote on Instagram as he celebrated his latest accomplishment.
Known for flexing his style and luxury goods, Moneybagg took to social media once again to show just how much money has been rolling in as his career continues to climb, and it involved taking a dip with $100 bills.
The rapper swam in a pool in a luxury home overlooking the ocean. In the background, his voice boomed over the speakers as someone recorded him lapping in the clear water. “Life is good, everything’s exotic,” Moneybagg said in the clip before adding a few lyrics from his album. “Made it through the rain, can you feel a gangsta’s pain.”
He took a minute to show off his diamond-studded jewelry, as well, that shined brightly in the sunlight. Elsewhere, Moneybagg’s girlfriend, Ari Fletcher, shared that they had a romantic moment when they decided to take their mattress off of their bed and place it on their patio so they could get close outside and sleep under the stars.
Check out the posts from both Moneybagg and Ari below.
He’s often paraded as being a rapper, but Yung Bleu is here to take over the R&B game. The Alabama artist was already buzzing in the industry, but after Bleu was able to snag a Drake feature for the remix of his “Your Mines Still” single, the spotlight has stayed on the 27-year-old star. With an Instagram handle like “BleuVandross”, it’s clear that the singer-rapper intends to occupy multiple genre lanes, and he has something to say about R&B.
He took to Triller to show off his skills while adding a thought about the current R&B scene.
“I’m saving r&b n*ggas lyrics dnt hit this deep no more ..just wait on it,” he wrote in the caption. His fans co-signed his sentiment, however, others weren’t so sure. After The Neighborhood Talk reposted the clip, R&B veteran Tank weighed in with his opinion.
“You gotta let this generation sing their r&b the way they feel it,” Tank commented. “The rhythm always changes and the blues is personal so no one can tell you how to create your art. ‘Real’ is what’s true to you. That kid @bleuvandross is dope and he has the support of a person who’s been doing it successfully for over 20 years! R&B MONEY!”
There have been several discussions about the current state of R&B as critics and artists have stated that its influence in the industry has faltered in the last two decades. Check out the post below.

If there’s shade to be thrown, Wendy Williams will find a tree, but Erica Mena proved that she doesn’t mess around when it comes to clapping back. Just a day after Mena addressed the negativity she’d received since announcing that she and husband Safaree Samuels were expecting Baby No. 2, she had a few words for Williams. It’s a joyous time for the reality star couple, especially following a rocky patch that was displayed on social media.
“Granted, there’s been mistakes made, immaturely, but a marriage is a marriage,” she said of her relationship with Safaree. “And unfortunately, there’s been mishaps. In any marriage, sh*t happens. When you’re in the public eye, my husband and I have both realized that things should be kept in.” Williams took a moment to address the controversy on her talk show.
“We’re not trying to do anything, you’re the one putting it out there, Erica,” said Williams. “You and Safaree. I don’t really know you much Erica, but I do know Safaree enough and you all need to stop fighting and threatening divorce so much. And you all need to grow up and grow into being parents and if you’re not gonna wanna be married, then get a divorce and co-parent.”
“And babies don’t save marriages, but good luck, at least your first, six months,” she added. “Good luck.” Mena was made aware of Williams’s comments and returned with a scathing since-deleted tweet.
“At this point let’s link up so I can beat your ass,” tweeted Mena. “Your ex husband didn’t do a good job enough.” Check out the post, and the episode of The Wendy Williams Show, below.
Following a year that left us indoors, masked up, and praying for the day that our freedom came back, the second half of 2021 is shaping up to be a return of the normalcy we once knew.

Gucci Mane may not appreciate this one. DJ Akademiks has often weighed in on the relationships and careers of rappers, especially over on his Twitch channel where he’s not censored by partnerships or deals. The blogger recently kicked up dust after he addressed Gucci and wife Keyshia Ka’Oir’s relationship, claiming that while Gucci was in prison, Keyshia was “allegedly” sleeping with Yo Gotti.
It’s been reported that Keyshia was dating Gotti years ago until she and Gucci decided to make their relationship exclusive, which was the real reason the rappers had beef. Gucci and Keyshia have been living their best lives, enjoying their successes, and even recently welcomed their Icy baby boy into the world. Now, the internet is chiming in about an alleged encounter that was suggested to have occurred by Akademiks.
During his Livestream, Akademiks spoke about men not being able to “get over a woman’s past,” adding, “Gucci had to.”
Akademiks and others debated the topic of not considering a woman’s dating or sexual past before he brought the conversation back to the Hip Hop couple. “Hold on now, and I’mma be really respectful as I talk about this, because if we really talking about Gucci and his wife, a lot of y’all n*ggas be like, ‘Gucci’s wildin’.’ Y’all know allegedly Gucci’s wife, while he was locked up, slept with Yo Gotti, right? Allegedly. That’s why he cussed out Angela Yee… That’s why he was mad at her.”
“Gucci, at that time, was f*cking mad bitches, but the girl that he was gonna settle down with, that he always had an extra sh*t for, was Keyshia Ka’Oir,” said Akademiks. “However, he wasn’t with her his whole time. He was also kind of running around a little bit. When she decided to do her a little bit, allegedly, she might have been with Yo Gotti. Like, most of y’all, y’all demonize any girl that was ever with another rapper that y’all could recognize. Gucci married his girl, he realized she was a good girl who held it down and who also helped him out with a lot of sh*t.”
“I don’t know if y’all would do that,” he told his crew. Check out the clip below.
