Jack Harlow is about to be all over America’s televisions in the month of March. Not only will he be participating in the NBA’s All-Star Weekend coverage, playing in a 2×2 with 2 Chainz, Lil Baby, and Quavo, but he’s also ending the month with a performance as the musical guest on Saturday Night Live, March 27. The episode will be hosted by none other than SNL alum, Maya Rudolph, who currently voices the hilarious hormone monster Connie on Big Mouth, as well as Betty Hart on Fox’s Bless The Harts.
Harlow posted a heartfelt message to Twitter with a screenshot of his post-it from the announcement wall, sharing exactly what it meant to him to perform on the show. “I grew up watching SNL with my family every weekend,” he recalled. “I vividly remember seeing Kanye perform ‘Love Lockdown’ and ‘Heartless’ in 2008. Thank you for making this happen. Another dream come true.”

J Lo looks like she hasn’t aged a day in quite some time, and fans were quick to notice how great she looked. “You have discovered the fountain of youth. When will you share it with the rest of us” wrote one commenter. “THAT BODY GOALS!!!!!!!” added another.
Last week, Lopez celebrated the 13th birthday of her twin sons Emme and Max. In a series of sweet Instagram posts, she shared her love for the boys and wished them a happy birthday, sharing some of her favorite memories.
Her line advertises their products as a way to get Jennifer’s “ageless skin,” featuring products like a gel cleanser, eye cream, moisturizer, and face masks. The secret to J Lo’s aging process has certainly been pined after for quite a while, so many are eager to try her products.
North Carolina’s Morray has been one of the most promising new rappers on the scene, having already caught the eye of J. Cole, Rick Ross, Juicy J, and Jay-Z through his breakout single “Quicksand.” Since then, Morray has proven himself to have artistic depth beyond that of a one-hit-wonder, having unleashed a slew of back-to-back jams showcasing his versatility. It would appear that his hustle and prolific work ethic has ultimately paid off, as Morray recently found himself locked in the studio with acclaimed lyricist Cordae.
Though little was revealed about the session, Morray took to Instagram to share a picture of the session, which he declared to be “Timeless.” “Always,” replies Cordae, sliding into the comment section for a bit of moral support. It’s unclear as to whether or not the pair put in work for Morray’s upcoming project or Cordae’s Lost Boy follow-up, but don’t be surprised to see their collaboration land at some point in the near future.
On another note, Morray has been going absolutely hard in the studio of late, even beyond his collaboration with Cordae. A snippet, as shared below, highlights another unreleased Morray banger, one that finds him absolutely spazzing; it’s part of why he’s so widely regarded as the next up, as he can spit bars and bring strong melodies in equal measure. Check out both the image and the clip here, and sound off if you’ve got Morray on your radar.
T.I. and Tiny have been engulfed in sexual abuse allegations. In January, a woman came forward accusing the couple of drugging and sexually abusing young women, some under the legal age, before more women emerged with even more stories. Both T.I. and Tiny issued a statement through their lawyer “empathetically deny” these “egregiously appalling allegations.” Still, Lisa Bloom has recruited several accusers so far who plan on taking the couple to court.
The allegations continue to mount against T.I. and Tiny who are now being put on blast by Wack 100. The California music executive took to Instagram today following Blackburn’s request for an investigation where he claimed the community needs to be aware of these claims. He shared a screenshot of the New York Times report before urging his fans to read the article for themselves. “I don’t give a fuck maybe I’m the last one left friend family homeboy it don’t matter when foul shit going on the community needs to know so they can PROTECT the community,” Wack wrote in the caption.
“I didn’t commit the acts or write up the article but the STREETS , the INDUSTRY the WORLD needs to fuck know. N***a drug my daughter he got led poisoning coming believe that,” he continued, accusing T.I of being “Bill Cosby & R Kelly All In One,” as the hashtags suggest.

Artists, at least the ones with good sense, understand that Eminem is not one to be disrespected lightly. Those who do decide to engage in warfare with the legendary lyricist understand the stakes at play. For Lil Pump, however, who tends to navigate life in an unrelenting shroud of obliviousness, such consequences are simply not important. Instead, Pump seems content with simply following every single impulse that enters his mind, ranging from cries of “Fuck J. Cole” to similar cries of “Fuck Eminem.”

Though many doubted that Eminem would even bother responding to Lil Pump, that didn’t stop the masses from shaking their heads at the young rapper’s audacity. Now, Pump has recently made an effort to walk back the incident, taking a moment to speak with Fat Joe and explain why he went after Slim Shady in the first place. At first, Joe seems perplexed by Pump’s seemingly docile persona. “Every time I see you, you’re a great guy!” marvels Joey Crack, clearly baffled by Pump’s aggressive nature on social media. “I never understood the Eminem — what was that about?”
“Who?” responds Pump. “I don’t remember that.” Unconvinced, Joe continues pressing. “I told you,” responds Pump. “It ain’t my fault, I was asleep. I’m so sorry about that.” Though he doesn’t exactly seem that remorseful about the situation — nor does his excuse hold much water to begin with — an apology is an apology. Still, some have maintained that actions should have consequences, and Lil Pump should not be free to diss whoever he likes without repercussion on wax.
Check it out for yourself below, and sound off if you think Eminem will take the time to give Lil Pump a bar or two on his next big release.
Last summer, I wrote a piece about rappers who moonlight as amateur basketball players based on their Instagram posts showcasing their workouts. When I interview Louisville, Kentucky upstart Jack Harlow about his upcoming B/R Open Run showdown with fellow rap ballers 2 Chainz, Lil Baby, and Quavo, I blame Jack’s absence from that list on the dearth of hoops-related content on his Instagram page.
Save for a post promoting the song celebrating his fellow cultural outsider, “Tyler Herro,” Jack doesn’t like to advertise his roundball prowess, despite hailing from one of the sport’s legendary basketball loci. In fact, one of the few posts depicting Harlow actually playing basketball is the oldest one on his page, a grainy photo from spring 2014 of Jack defending a brawny player in what looks to be a local gym. Despite his opponent’s choice of athletic apparel — it looks very much like he’s playing basketball in jeans — Jack is the one who looks out of place, with his curly hair, baggy gym clothes, glasses, and yes, because of that glaringly obvious difference between the two men. It’s one Jack isn’t shy about pointing out, either in his music or his interviews — again, see “Tyler Herro.”
He tells me the story behind the photo as we discuss his next upcoming hoops project. The Bleacher Report event will take place during TNT’s NBA All-Star pregame coverage airing Sunday, March 7 at 5 pm ET. Harlow and fellow rap-hooper Quavo will play a game of 2-on-2 against 2 Chainz and Lil Baby — first to 21 wins. The winners will choose an HBCU to receive a donation, while the broadcast will be hosted by Taylor Rooks and DJed by LVRN DJ Kitty Cash.
During our interview, Harlow accuses me of being biased for the other team, but like everyone watching Sunday, I’m just rooting for a good game. I also find out he’s never seen White Men Can’t Jump, what he brings to the court, and whether he and Quavo have a strategy for beating the 6’7 2 Chainz.
How did this partnership come about? Why did you want to participate in this two-on-two with Quavo, 2 Chainz, Lil Baby, and Bleacher Report?
You know I’m a basketball guy, so anything involving basketball I at least keep an ear open to, and I heard there was some money involved and I like money. So there’s a few incentives.
As far as how the teams are broken up, what made you want Quavo as opposed to one of the other guys?
Well, I didn’t choose my teammate, but I got to say, I’m very happy with who I got [Ed. note: Quavo has been NBA Celebrity Game MVP]. Out of the three other players, that would be my number one choice because he brings something to the game, based on everything I’ve seen on YouTube, that I don’t bring to the game. He’s a shooter, he seemed like a ball handler. I like his confidence on the court and I think I’m going to be complimenting him perfectly with my game and some of my grit. And I’m going to let him cut.
What would you say you bring to the team?
Grit, determination, anger, passion.
I feel like these are all euphemisms for you’re going to play hard and try to D-Up. Is that what’s happening?
They’re euphemisms for we’re going to win.
I don’t know if you’re an Uproxx reader, but last summer I did a listicle about rappers who play ball, but I based them off entirely on Instagram.
I noticed I was left out of that.
When I was researching, I kicked myself because I was like, “Oh Jack Harlow’s not on here.” Then I realized you don’t have anything on your Instagram about hoops, except for one thing. I scrolled all the way back to the very beginning, the very first picture is you and some guy, he’s playing in jeans. I need to know this story. I feel like the world needs to know this story.
That’s a classic image. Yeah, I think that might be my first picture on my IG. I used to go up to this community center where I’m from called Douglas Community Center. It’s in the highlands of Louisville, Kentucky. And it was kind of a place where everyone would meet after school, people from all over the city. It was just a good place to play because it was a gym that was open every day. You can’t get that everywhere. And this dude that was in the picture with me, started showing up and I think he had six, seven, eight years on all of us; we were all in high school, sophomores, juniors. And he would just come and destroy high schoolers, myself included. But he made me better because of it. I can’t even remember his name, but he was dominant.
He played in jeans, he had to be. You are not necessarily the typical person that you would look and be like, “Oh, he plays ball and he raps,” which is obviously something you reference on “Tyler Herro.” How often do you get called Billy Hoyle?
Literally not one time in my life.
Never?
I’d never heard that name.
I am so upset. I get called every light-skinned basketball player in the world, and you don’t get Billy Hoyle. Have you seen White Men Can’t Jump?
No. That’s one of the movies that the entire culture grills me for not having seen. And I’m doing my best man, I’ve seen Boyz N The Hood, I’ve watched all these movies, man. I can’t see them all.
You can, we’re in a pandemic. You have nothing better to do.
I need to see White Men Can’t Jump, just for the title alone.
Is that the name of the white guy in the movie?
His name is Billy Hoyle. It was Woody Harrelson. He’s actually a killer. He’s a sharpshooter from beyond the line. I think he might actually be part of where that “white boys are shooters” stereotype comes from. Have you ever played with any of these guys before?
The four we’re playing with? No, I’ve just studied their game.
Do you have a strategy?
I’ve watched the film. You strike me as a 2 Chainz fan, man.
I strike you as a 2 Chainz fan?
Yeah. You don’t have to tell me, brother. I just tried to figure out why you’re going for 2 Chainz and Lil Baby.
I’m not going for 2 Chainz and Lil Baby. I’m asking you if you have a strategy. I got to do my journalistic due diligence. What would you say is the most surprising thing about the leap that you’ve made over that period of time from Confetti to That’s What They All Say?
I haven’t been surprised yet.
Okay, I like that. That’s confidence right there.
I wish I could give you an answer, bro. I wish I could give you an answer.
What’s next for you, man? You’ve got your all-star thing. You’re doing basketball. What’s next on the music front?
I’m about to take over this whole sh*t, man. I got a lot of good music in the can, but I’m going to let my album cook for awhile. We got some videos to drop. We just going to keep doing this. The next time we talk, there’s going to be great things that have happened.
The next time we talk I’m going to ask you one question. It’s going to be, “Have you seen it yet?” And I better hear a yes.
Next time we talk, what you need to do is ask me how that million felt.
Watch B/R Open Run on Sunday, March 7 at 5 pm ET on TNT.

“Joe Biden and the Democrats are even pushing policies that would destroy women sports,” said Trump. “Young girls and women are incensed that they are now being forced to compete against those who are biological males. It’s not good for women. it’s not good for women’s sports which worked for so long and so hard to get to where they are.”
Notable conservative author Candace Owens took to her Twitter on Sunday evening to express her support for Trump’s message. She writes, “If you guys are wondering what actual feminism is, it’s Donald Trump having the courage to stand up on stage and call out the insanity of biological men dominating women’s sports.”
Her tweet got a lot of attention, and Twitter users rushed to clown her, claiming she embarrassed herself. Many were quick to note the irony of calling Trump a “feminist” with his staggering number of sexual assault allegations.
Others asserted that she simply did not understand transgender people.
Other users looked back to Dave Chapelle’s comedic statement on Candace.
Most, however, just tore into her views and values.
As you can see in the images below, the shoe has a mostly black base although there is grey suede all the way throughout. You even get some of that gray on the back heel where there is a quilted motif. From there, orange highlights can be found in certain parts of the shoe, which helps give it a nice pop of color. Overall, it’s a unique model and it’s definitely fit for an All-Star appearance.
At the current moment, there is no release date for these although with the All-Star Game going down on March 7th, you can expect these to drop sometime in the near future. As always, let us know what you think of this offering in the comments below.
