Angel Reese & LSU Survive March Madness Scare
Angel Reese and LSU advanced to the second round of March Madness after what head coach Kim Mulkey called an “ugly” and “selfish” win. The three-seeded Tigers beat 14-seeded Rice 70-60 in a game that saw the Tigers lead by just three at halftime. Reese, who notched 13 defensive rebounds alone, was key to staving off the Owls amid a night of terrible Tiger shooting. Reese and Hailey Van Lith went a combined 2-14 from the field as Aneesah Morrow led the team with 15 points. That game-high mark was matched Rice’s Destiny Jackson.
However, things don’t get any easier for LSU. In the second round, played on Sunday, the Tigers will face 11-seeded Middle Tennessee. The Blue Raiders were down 13 on Louisville before rallying to stun the Cardinals for the only upset of day one. MTSU have only lost four games all season and went undefeated in conference play. “I don’t have the right answer. I can give you lots of answers, but we’d better fix it before we play Middle Tennessee,” Mulkey told reporters.

Angel Reese: “I Want People To Underestimate Me”
Elsewhere, in a lengthy profile for ESPN, Reese revealed the mentality that drives day-in, day-out. “I want people to underestimate me. I’m telling you, I have everything bookmarked for the right moment when everything just falls right into my hands,” Reese told Katie Barnes. However, for Reese – there is a fine line between being underestimated and being disrespected. “That game, that was one that was on my calendar, because when somebody tells me that they think that somebody else is better than me, and supposedly Kamilla was supposed to just dog-walk me all night, and mop me with the floor, and all this stuff,” Reese said of LSU’s regular-season matchup against South Carolina.
Additionally, Reese takes every scrap of hate as a new source of motivation. “They said I was too worried about social media, my GPA was low, I was pregnant. Yeah, my stats have gone down maybe four to five points because I’m on a way better team this year. But I’m still averaging a double-double every game. I think people don’t realize I can do 10,000 things and still be good at all of them. And I can’t wait till just everything just falls right into place,” she noted.

Tyla ‘Had No Idea’ Who Nancy Pelosi Was When They Took A Surprising Photo Together At A Grammys Party
Tyla told a hilarious story about meeting Nancy Pelosi, the former House Speaker, during a pre-Grammy gala last month. The “Water” musician did an interview with People Magazine about the night they met, where she revealed she was very confused by the encounter.
“I had no idea,” she shared. “I didn’t know who she was, honestly, but I think she may have known [me] because she asked to take a picture with me.” The photo of the two soon made the rounds online, which left many wanting to know the backstory.
“I was like, ‘OK, cool,’” Tyla added. “She held my hand, and I was like, ‘Are you sure we should hold hands?’ Because I didn’t know. I was kind of feeling a bit tight, but she was like, ‘Hold my hand, hold my hand.’ It was cute.”
Throughout the rest of that party, Tyla also met Cher — and freaked out because she knew her as one of her idols. “I was like, ‘What the heck?’ I was literally in so much shock. I love her,” Tyla dished. “She’s always been an inspo… I can’t wait to even tell my kids, that’s how much of a good time I had.”
Check out the wild full photo of Tyla and Nancy Pelosi at the Grammy Awards below.
Akbar V Continues To Gas Up Nicki Minaj’s “Big Foot,” Denies Having Issues With Megan Thee Stallion
Akbar V is setting the record straight on Nicki Minaj’s “Big Foot” and Megan Thee Stallion. In the hip-hop world, drama is often around the corner. Furthermore, it’s waiting to bubble over at the slightest provocation. This is the case with Akbar V, whose recent remarks about Nicki Minaj’s “Big Foot” diss track. Her comments have sparked controversy and speculation about her relationship with Megan Thee Stallion. In a statement addressing the situation, Akbar V made it clear that her support for “Big Foot” does not equate to animosity towards Megan Thee Stallion. Denying any personal issues with the Houston rapper, Akbar emphasized that her involvement in hyping up “Big Foot” was simply a matter of entertaining her audience and responding to fan requests.
Furthermore, the issue of matter lies in Akbar V’s recent remarks recorded at a club appearance, where she exclaimed, “This big foot b–ch trynna come for the f–kin queen of rap.” While the statement may have raised eyebrows, Akbar V insists that it was all in the spirit of rap entertainment. Moreover, she calls it a playful jab rather than a declaration of war. However, Megan Thee Stallion’s hairstylist and friend took a shot and commented under the post trying to defend Megan. “”Akbar feet def doing sign language … relax girl,” he stated. Akbar V sought to clarify any misconceptions. Moreover, she stated in response to the friend and social media, “You making this something bigger than what it really is. I don’t have no problem with Meg. This is rap entertainment, that’s her and Nicki beef, but the song hard and it was requested. I was at my paid hosting. It was funny. If you know me, I talk smack ’bout myself and all, baby. I’m hood. We joan all day.”

Smh,” another person said.
Ultimately, whether it’s hyping up a diss track or setting the record straight, Akbar V claims it was all in the name of entertainment. And while controversies may come and go, one thing remains clear. In the world of rap, anything can happen, and the drama never truly sleeps. Let us know what you think on HNHH!
