YK Osiris is an artist who doesn’t mind showing off when he takes an L. There are very few artists out there who would be comfortable showing themselves in such a vulnerable position although Osiris has virtually no issue with it. In many ways, it’s exactly why Osiris has been able to relate to fans and give them music that they can vibe to. He is a man of the people and fans are always happy to hear from him, no matter what he’s got going on.

Recently, as posted by DJ Akademiks, Osiris took to the court where he got to get some practice. There have been a ton of artists showing off their basketball skills as of late and Osiris was the latest to do so.

In the clip below, however, you will quickly find that Osiris could use some work out there. In the first video, Osiris immediately got stuffed while going up for a mid-range shot, and then once he goes back for the three-pointer, he bricks it. Luckily, he was able to make a shot in the second clip, which certainly made up for his original failure.

Either way, Osiris could use just a bit more practice if he wants to keep up with the likes of Quavo, Tory Lanez, and Chris Brown. Considering his determination, we’re sure he’ll get there soon.

The past few months have been particularly exciting for Kid Cudi. In December, the Ohio artist emerged with the release of his album, Man On The Moon III before announcing that he had a Netflix series and a new album slated for 2022. Additionally, he announced a clothing line for this summer and also collaborated with BAPE. Needless to say, he’s been a busy guy.

Last night, the rapper made a grand appearance on SNL where he performed two records from his latest project, “Tequila Shots” and “Sad People.” It is Cudi, after all, so it shouldn’t be that much of a shock that he made a statement with his fashion pieces. He rocked a cardigan with a shirt that paid homage to Chris Farley for “Tequila Shots.” However, it was his choice of clothing for the “Sad People” performance that caught many people’s attention. The rapper donned a floral Off-White dress with spaghetti straps along with a flashy chain. 

Many of his fans quickly noted that the choice of clothes was actually meant as an homage to the late Kurt Cobain. The Nirvana frontman was known for wearing cardigans, as well as performing in floral dresses. Most notably, Cobain rocked the dress for the cover of The Face magazine in 1993. April 5th also marked the 27-year anniversary of Cobain’s death.

Check out Cudi’s performance below. 

Soulja Boy is one of the most infamous artists of the Limewire era as he was able to game the system and make “Crank Dat” an international hit. Over the years, Soulja Boy has continued to be innovative in his own right and these days, he has been launching numerous projects to go with his entrepreneurial spirit. From the Soulja Watch to the Soulja Console, the artist has been delivering a ton of products although, over the years, some have complained that they never actually received their orders.

Regardless, Soulja Boy has pushed forward, and now, he has released a brand new product called the TRDR Pocket. Now, fans will be able to purchase a GameBoy-esque product that features numerous games on it. The TRDR Pocket is already on sale, and fans seem to be pretty excited about it all.

There is already a promotion on the website for 5 percent off, which will certainly entice some people to go out and buy it. At this point, no one knows for sure how well this thing will work although, after his experience with the Soulja Console, we’re sure the artist has worked out the kinks.

Let us know if you plan on buying one of these, in the comments section below.

Now that Khabib Nurmagomedov is no longer in the UFC, fans have been wondering what his next venture will be. It’s clear that Khabib is done when it comes to title fighting and now, he has gone into the coaching world where he looks to help elevate some premium talent in the sport he loves so much. Khabib is a guy who can help a lot of people, especially when you consider his vast expertise.

In an interview with TMZ, Khabib’s manager Ali Abdelaziz came out and said that Khabib would actually be interested in potentially crossing over to the WWE which is something numerous UFC fighters have done in the past. Abdelaziz has always been one to seek fame for himself, so it’s not surprising that he made some bold claims, saying that Khabib would leave guys like John Cena a bloody pulp.

“Let’s be real, [if] any of these soft steroid freaks wanted to go ahead and have a wrestling match with Khabib and they wanna get beat up for real, they know who they need to call,” Abdelaziz said. “He’ll go there and he’ll smash John Cena’s face. No problem.”

For now, there are no guarantees that this will ever happen although we’re sure WWE and UFC fans would be excited about this prospect. After all, Khabib is one of the greatest fighters ever.
