Gina Carano of The Mandalorian fame, says that despite her tumultuous exit from the show, she does not have an issue with everyone at Disney. Carano recalls Pedro Pascal as being a friend who she adored.  Disney parted ways with Carano after she compared modern-day conservatives with the Jewish people during the Holocaust, as well as numerous other controversial posts on social media.

“I adore Pedro. I adore him. I know he’s said and done some hurtful things. I don’t think posting anybody’s number on social media is okay, ” she told Ben Shapiro of The Daily Wire, in reference to Pascal posting Senator Ted Cruz’s office phone number on Twitter in early January.

She continued: “But we had an agreement after we realized we were a little bit politically different. We had an agreement that, first and foremost, you’re a human being. And you’re my friend first.”

Elsewhere in the interview, Carano claims that Disney is guilty of “bullying” other conservatives: “I’ve been through so much, and I’ve seen so much now, clearly, of the bullying that’s been taking place, and I saw it before. I’m not the only one that’s ever been bullied by this company, and I know that so deeply. I could share a story which would turn things around in the media but I can’t because it would sell out a friend…Everyone is afraid of losing their job.”

Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr says Draymond Green “crossed the line,” following his ejection in the final moments of the team’s 102-100 loss to the Charlotte Hornets. Green reportedly shouted profanity at an official and was assessed his second technical foul of the game, resulting in an automatic ejection.

“He crossed the line,” Kerr said of Green, after the game. “That’s the main thing. We love his passion and his energy. We would not be the team we are without him, but that doesn’t give him license to cross that line, and he knows that.”

With the Warriors up 100-98, and just over nine seconds remaining in the game, Gordon Hayward and Green both fought for control of the ball and were tied up, but rather than resulting in a jump ball, officials awarded the Hornets a timeout.

“His first technical was assessed when he directed profanity at his opponent,” crew chief Marc Davis said, explaining Green’s ejection. “He was assessed his first technical foul for verbally taunting an opponent. He then proceeded to direct screaming profanity at a game official and received his [second] technical foul and was ejected as per rule.”

The Warriors are now 16-15 and in 8th place in the Western Conference standings.

DaniLeigh has been spending an enhanced amount of time in headlines recently for some slightly unfavorable reasons. Last month, the 26-year-old came under fire after she previewed a new song called “Yellow Bone,” which many noted had colorist connotations. Following the extended controversy surrounding that, she broke things off with DaBaby, which earned her even more flack on social media since she used her relationship with the rapper to defend her use of the term “Yellow Bone.” After previously throwing shade towards the “Bop” rapper’s way, she came through with another shady message likely aimed at her ex about actions men do to show don’t care for you.

Resharing a post of a screenshot of a Nicki Minaj tweet in her story, the tweet reads: “Dear all of you beautiful souls. A man who loves you does not: 1. Humiliate you on social media 2. Beat you 3. Cheat on you 4. Call you out your name/put you down to lower your self-esteem due to his own insecurities. 5. Hide his phone, passwords, where abouts, etc.” 

DaniLeigh simply added an additional, cryptic “Right” to the shared posts, with no other context.

While she did not directly name her famous ex in the post, she seems to be suggesting the rapper may have done one or more of the things listed out by Nicki. 

DaBaby has yet to speak out publically about the split with the “Easy” singer, and it’s likely he won’t anytime soon.  

LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers have struggled over the last couple of games due to the fact that the team has been without their big man Anthony Davis. Davis is currently battling an Achilles injury and he most likely won’t be back until some time in the month of March. In the meantime, LeBron has to carry the team on his back, and last night, they lost again this time to the Miami Heat.

The final score was 96-94 and at the last second, James passed the ball to Caruso, who tried to tie up the game with a buzzer-beater. Caruso ended up bricking the shot, which led to a ton of ridicule on social media. After the game, LeBron spoke on the shot and what he wishes Caruso had done instead.

“I think the only bad thing about it is that he shot a long 2,” James said. “I wish he would have shot a 3 and, make or miss, I’ll live with that.”

In the clip above, you can clearly see Caruso’s feet on the line. Had he just stepped back a couple of inches, his game-tying attempt would have been a game-winning one. Regardless, there is no time for what-ifs in the NBA, and in the grand scheme of things, this game won’t affect the outcome of the Lakers’ season.

It has now been a little more than a year since Juice WRLD’s unfortunate passing back in December of 2019, days removed from his 21st birthday. He was just beginning to scratch the surface of his success as well, with his second studio album released earlier that same year Death Race for Love reaching the top spot of the Billboard 200 chart. An adored figure among rap fans and artists alike, many have continued to mourn the loss of the talented rapper. Fellow Chicago native and XXL Freshman Polo G shared an unprovoked throwback picture of the two of them to his Instagram page today, penning a small tribute for the late Chicago rapper.

Polo, née taurus Tremani Bartlett, shared a photo of the two of them kicking it backstage. While it’s unclear exactly when the photo was taken, it looks like it could have been captured sometime in 2019. He captioned the brief tribute, “If u my dawg fr dont eva leave my side,” seemingly still mourning the loss of the “All Girls Are The Same” artist. 

According to Lil Bibby, Juice WRLD was allegedly seeking out rehab prior to his death. “I found out that he was doing four. So I get to freaking out. Like ‘What the fuck.’ I get to telling people like ‘Look we got to send this kid to rehab, I’m telling everyone because I’m thinking ‘That’s a lot.’ Because all people I know only do at the max one. And these is the 30s,” Bibby said. 

Polo G rose to prominence with this 2018 single “Finer Things,” and has gone on to experience bouts of critical and commercial success. His hard work has paid off, and the 22-year-old was able to purchase his mother her dream home earlier in the month. 

Tekashi 6ix9ine is back in the fold with hopes that his latest single will chart on the Billboard Hot 100. Even after the past two years of turmoil in his life, he’s resorting to the same old antics. It began with his run-in with Meek Mill last week before ultimately finding himself trading words with everyone else. 

Last night, things took another turn when he lost his shit on someone who tried filming him. It’s unclear what transpired beforehand but it seems to be a growing trend in his daily activities. Earlier today, he counted “Meek #3” after running down a man at Foot Locker. 

His feud with Chicago rappers persisted when he hopped on IG Live with Lil Reese and 600 Breezy who both issued warnings. Of course, 6ix9ine didn’t listen, even after 600Breezy blatantly told him, “You gonna die when I see you, respectfully.” Tekashi took to the ‘Gram shortly after his Foot Locker altercation where he invoked King Von’s name, mocking the rapper’s death. “Somebody tell King Von join my Live right now. I bet he won’t,” he wrote on an IG Post.

It isn’t surprising since 6ix9ine has continuously mocked the passing of Von since it happened in November. Most recently, 6ix9ine took to Instagram where he continued to disrespect Lil Durk over the loss of both Von and his cousin, Nuski.
