This season has been massive for the New York Knicks who continue to win and put themselves in position for a playoff appearance. It’s hard to believe this is the case considering where the team was just a year ago, although their roster is filled with solid talent who truly believe in the program that is being brought forth by Tim Thibodeau. For instance, last night, the Knicks defeated the Milwaukee Bucks to bring their record to 24-22.

Unfortunately, the Knicks lost out on a player as Mitchell Robinson fractured his foot. Robinson came back from a fractured hand recently, which makes this new injury that much more devastating. After the game, Robinson took to Twitter to describe how he felt about it all.

“Been taking a beating all year long smfh,” he wrote. The injury also came as a bit of a surprise to the likes of Derrick Rose who is Robinson’s teammate. In fact, Rose learned of the injury while being interviewed on Live TV after the game, and he seemed to be quite shaken up by the news.

This is obviously a disappointing setback for Robinson, although he has the Knicks fans behind him, which will certainly make the recovery process a bit more bearable.

The premise of The Wendy Williams Show is essentially hearing uninformed and hot takes by the host. While entertaining for the most part, her latest opinion on Bobby Shmurda was received to a polarizing reaction. The talk show host said she believes Bobby Shmurda will end up in prison after his parole conditions were revealed. 

“He’s on parole until 2026 and this young man is only 26-years-old and he’s a rapper and there’s a certain quality of life, or not life, that you lead which led him to jail to begin with,” she said before referring to his conditions regarding substances. “See, here’s what I think, though. Don’t be offended Shmurda, but I think you’ll be in trouble before the middle of the summer comes. I do.”

Many began to rail against Wendy Williams for what many perceived to be wishing jail upon a young Black man who was only recently released. Her pessimism alone prompted her ex-husband Kevin Hunter to issue a disclaimer on behalf of himself and their son. “Hopefully in the future my son’s mother will do more research.. but in the meantime, the ‘VIEWS’ currently being expressed do not reflect that of my son or myself, we do not wish jail or incarceration on ANYONE,” he wrote with a 100 emoji.

Many agreed though the mutual consensus on his recent post was that no one asked or implemented him in Wendy’s comments. Check his post out below.  

Lil Nas X’s brand new song “MONTERO” has led to a lot of reactions on social media, and there are some people out there who are extremely offended by what he put out. Of course, the music video features Lil Nas X giving Satan a lap dance, which is the main scene that has many freaking out online. The overreactions have been pretty hilarious to witness, although some are taking it much further than others.

For instance, retired NBA player Nick Young took to Twitter saying that in his household, Lil Nas X will no longer be played. “My kids will never play Old Town road again. I’m still debating about wearing @Nike after this come nike a drop of blood for real.” This then led to a response from Lil Nas X, which was sarcastic in nature.

“They shouldn’t be playing old town road anyway, we streaming call me by your name now,” he said. Young did not give a retort to Lil Nas X on this one although it’s clear the young artist doesn’t care about what Swaggy P has to say.

The former NBA star had a big problem with the new Nike Air Max 97 that is coming out in Nas’ honor, although at this point, we don’t think the “Old Town Road” artist really cares. Those joints are going to sell out instantly, no matter who does or doesn’t co-sign them.

When it comes to delivering consistently sultry photos on Instagram, Draya Michele is always someone you can count on. While her looks and persona are enough to earn her public acclaim, her time in the spotlight has not been without controversy. Most recently and notably, the 36-year-old reality star lost her Savage x Fenty sponsorship after making a poorly executed joke regarding Megan thee Stallion and Tory Lanez’s relationship. She has apologized profusely for the remarks and hasn’t been involved in any other high-scrutiny scandals since. Amping up for a big career jump this year, the model took some time to share some scandalous shots.

In the photos, Draya flaunted her stunning figure in a skintight, sheer, caramel-colored patterned top. Appearing braless, she paired the bold fit with an extremely high slit miniskirt in a pale-white shade. 

She added strappy tan heels and a matching Louis Vuitton bag. Giving a fierce strut in the respective photoset, she styled her hair in protective dreads and stunner shades. Scroll through the alluring photos below.

“It didn’t need 4 slides but consider it a bonus or whatever,” she wrote, referencing the gallery view she had offered fans of the sexy look. 

The photos arrive as the reality TV alum has been spotted out shooting her 10-part docu-series “Doses of Draya.” Despite losing her lucrative deal with Rihanna’s best-selling lingerie line, she seems to be doing pretty well in other departments. She released a collab with popular brand Oh Polly in 2020 and landed herself her own Doses of Draya docu-series after appearing on Basketball Wives LA. 

Speaking on the venture, she explained, “As a woman of color, I couldn’t be more excited to be working with Zeus, a Black-owned streaming service, to share my story, and to let people into my daily life in a way I never really have before.”

nquiring about a collaborative project It was only a few weeks ago when fans began inquiring about a collaborative project from Lil Baby and Lil Durk. The pair have showcased the strength of their chemistry over the past year but it seems that even they have understood the power they have when they’re on wax together. So, they confirmed that a collaborative project would happen and they’ve continued to share very small updates on the status of the project which largely consists of the two hanging out together.

The project appears to be at the forefront of their minds right now. Just a few weeks ago, both artists hinted that the project would be arriving “so soon.” They appear to still be clocking in hours in the studio so it’s unclear how soon this project could arrive. However, they’re still keeping fans on their toes. The two shared footage of themselves on a private plane, though it’s unclear what their location is. Shortly after, they shared footage of the two in the studio, working away. The joint effort from the Chicago rapper and Atlanta artist is reportedly called, The Voice Of The Heroes. 

A collab project from the two artists couldn’t come at a better time in their careers. Durk is riding high off of the release of The Voice and is continuing to push the latest OTF compilation, Loyal Bros. As for Baby, he’s fresh off of the Grammys stage. Though he didn’t leave with any awards, his performance was undoubtedly the most talked about. 

It’s been around four years since Keenya Young, the mother of City Girls’ rapper Yung Miami, had been sentenced to five years behind bars and 10 years probation in connection with a hit and run incident that happened back in 2009. Sentenced in 2017, it seems like she was even granted an early release by the state of Florida. Previously, we reported that City Girls’ rapper Yung Miami had announced her mother’s scheduled release from prison on Saturday (March 27) on her Twitter account.

“My mom get out tomorrow,” tweeted the “Jobs” artist on Friday (March 26). “I’m so anxious,” she continued.

“My Mom left me with 2 kids plus Jai I was 22 going on 23 I didn’t know what to do I had to figure it out. Look at me now God is so good,” penned the rapper in a second tweet.

Continuing the documentation of her mother’s arrival back home on another social media channel, the Miami native took to her Instagram page to share the tear-jerking moment she reunited with her mother. 

“Welcome back,” penned the rapper in the caption of Instagram footage featuring her mom officially leaving prison and heading towards her. Tons of Miami’s famous friends congratulated the rapper for finally being able to reunite with her mother, including Quavo, who wrote, “That’s hard mama free,” with prayer hands. 

The 27-year-old recently took to Twitter to demand respect for the progress she’s made as an emcee. “For me to only be rapping for 3 yrs with no experience I feel like I do good af idgaf who think differently,” she wrote.

She continued,“I use to be so shy and nervous I couldn’t record in front of nobody and I never wanted nobody to hear but now I’m more confident ion care who in the room I be like turn it up!!! Tf.”
