Ja Rule Fires Back At 50 Cent Over Jokes About Being Denied Entry Into U.K.

by

Ja Rule has responded to 50 Cent trolling him for being denied entry to the United Kingdom. He announced that his Sunrise Tour was in jeopardy due to his criminal past in a statement on social media, earlier this week. His longtime rival 50 Cent quickly began making jokes at his expense.

“Hahahahahaha I did not have nothing to do with this b*tch not getting in. LOL,” 50 wrote in one post. In another, he added: “LMAO. I got juice all over the place sucker!” Rule eventually tagged 50 on Twitter in response: “@50cent N***a you p*ssy shut up…”

Ja Rule explained his situation in a lengthy post on Twitter on Tuesday, just days ahead of when the tour was scheduled to begin. “I’m so devastated I can’t believe the UK won’t let me in,” he wrote. “I’ve spent a half million dollars in production of my own money to put this tour together only to be denied entry DAYS before my shows this is not fair to me or my fans these venues are 85% sold and now I can’t come. The UK is one of the few European countries that restricts entry to people with criminal records. In general, you will likely be denied entry if you have been convicted of a crime punishable by 23 months or more under British law or served more than 12 months in prison.” Check out Rule’s response to 50 Cent below.

Ja Rule Responds To 50 Cent

As of Wednesday, tickets for the tour are not available. It’s unclear if Rule will find a way to go ahead with the shows. Be on the lookout for further updates on Ja Rule and 50 Cent on HotNewHipHop.

Angel Reese Teases Decision On Future

by

A cryptic tweet from Angel Reese has led fans to deduce that she is preparing to announce whether she will return to LSU next year or declare for the WNBA. “Should I stay, should I go? I don’t know,” Reese tweeted over a tribute video posted about her upcoming senior day on March 3. The quote stems from the 1998 track “I Don’t Know” from Keb’ Mo’. Reese has one more year of college eligibility and is one of the nation’s top NIL earners.

In ESPN‘s most recent WNBA mock draft, Michael Voepel projected Reese going sixth overall to the Washington Mystics. This was a slight rise from the eighth overall pick Voepel originally had Reese at. However, this was less due to Reese’s play and more because of external factors. Reese, who has been playing well, was always going to rise after Paige Bueckers announced that she would remain at UConn next season.

Angel Reese Joins Elite LSU Club With 2000th Point

Meanwhile, Angel Reese became the sixth LSU WBB player to score 2000 points as she surpassed the mark in a dominant win over Tennessee. Reese joined Joyce Walker, Seimone Augustus, Julie Gross, Cornelia Grayden, and Sylvia Fowles in the exclusive club. Reese began her career at Maryland, where she scored 719 points. However, she is now forever linked with the Tigers. Reese’s mark stands at 2006 after scoring 11 against the Volunteers.

Reese and LSU are second in the SEC. However, that is as close to a regular season title as they will get this season after South Carolina guaranteed themselves that honor with a win over Kentucky. Instead, Reese and company will look to finish out the season against Georgia and Kentucky before turning their attention to the SEC tournament and then, a March Madness tournament they will enter as defending champions. LSU is currently a four-seed in ESPN‘s latest bracketology.

King Harris Continues To Beef With Druski After He Called Him A “P***y” In Recent Interview

by

It is hard to take anything too seriously when it comes to Druski and King Harris. Their “beef” has been going on for about a month now. However, it all seems a little too fishy, especially with the comedian’s show, Coulda Been House, just moments away from hitting YouTube. In fact, it premieres tonight on the platform at 9 p.m. ET and it should be a hoot. The premise of the reality parody is that one winner will ink a deal with the “record label” Coulda Been and a grand prize of $50,000. It appears their might be some early drama, maybe as soon as the first episode.

According to MSN, Druski went on The Breakfast Club to talk about the show, as well as his beefs with Birdman and King Harris. The differences between Druski and the latter were based on the fact that he used the “standing on business” phrase as the title for his single. “Standin On Bihness” with the help of DJ Drama, Snoop Dogg, and BNYX, dropped last weekend to promote the comedy series. King Harris did recognize that he was not the lone creator, but he did feel he popularized it.

A post shared by King Harris (@the_next_king10)

Things got “heated” when Druski called Harris a “p***y” after he pulled up on the set of Coulda Been House. They essentially had a “stare down” and nothing really ever happened. The comedian quickly changed his tone saying, “I f*** with King Harris, though. He’s cool… We from the same way, n****. I f*** with King.” However, Harris is still going after Druski in the Instagram clip above. Any possible way of calling a man a woman, King pulled out all of the comparisons and then some. Again, this is all hard to believe, but we will see how it unfolds.

What are your thoughts on King Harris continuing his alleged beef with Druski? Do you think this is all promotion for the comedian’s show Coulda Been House? Whose side are you are on in this beef and why? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section.

Charles Barkley Said He’d Vote For Stephen A. Smith For President

by

Less than a week after endorsing Nikki Haley for President, Charles Barkley has now endorsed Stephen A. Smith. “Let me tell you why [I’d vote for you]. Because I know you don’t have an evil bone in your body and I don’t think you have an agenda. That’s all I want. Even if you vote for somebody, you’re not gonna agree on every subject,” Barkley told Smith during an appearance on The Stephen A. Smith Show. Furthermore, Barkley also said he’d prefer to see the Democrats nominate California Governor Gavin Newsom instead of President Biden.

As mentioned, the moment comes after Barkley openly endorsed GOP long-shot Nikki Haley on his show with Gayle King last week. Barkley said he was putting his “whole heart” behind Haley before giving her an open platform to address her previous comments in which she stated that America was “never a racist country.” The latter decision led to a lot of backlash against both Barkley and Haley.

New Orleans Pelicans Shade Stephen A. Smith After Latest Zion Williamson Comments

Barkley said he would vote for Smith as long as the ESPN personality didn’t have a “hidden agenda”. However, Smith has been getting a lot of hate for his anti-Zion Williamson agenda. The New Orleans Pelicans took shots at Stephen A. Smith after the ESPN personality went on yet another rant about team star Zion Williamson. The team’s official X account posted a graphic showing Smith’s dismal college stats of 1.5 points and 1 assist a game.

Appearing on Get Up! last week, Smith had once again gone after Williamson’s weight. “Zion Williamson, it’s not about his game. It’s about how many burgers he’s eating. Whether or not he is going to be in shape or keep eating McDonald’s and have chefs clamoring for him to come to their restaurants. That’s what he has to prove, that the chefs don’t love him any longer. That he’s committed to playing basketball and being in shape,” Smith said as the Pelicans prepared to face the Heat. Williamson, who was listed as a game-time decision due to a foot injury but did play. Before the game, he was averaging 22.5/5.4/4.9 this season. He is shooting a league 12th-best 58.5% from the field.

Russell Wilson’s Denver Exit Seemingly Teased by Sean Payton

by

Broncos head coach Sean Payton has seemingly confirmed that Russell Wilson will be cut by the team in the coming weeks. “I saw this humorous meme the other day of a Broncos fan with a shirt on and there were like eight quarterbacks names with a cross through it, and he’s drinking the quarterback Kool-Aid. Our job is to make sure this next one doesn’t have a line through it,” Payton said at the NFL Combine. This comment is widely being taken as a sign that Wilson is on the way out. This is despite the heavy financial penalty the decision comes with.

However, it’s unclear what the future is in Denver. The team could stick with current backup Jarrett Stidham, who started the final two games of the 2023 season. Drafting at No. 12 next month, the Broncos could try to trade up or hope an intriguing QB prospect remains on the board long enough. The problem is that Denver don’t have a lot of money due to what they owe to Wilson.

How Does Russell Wilson Feel About His Future?

Meanwhile, Wilson has remained demure and diplomatic throughout the ordeal. “I’ve got more fire than ever, honestly, especially over the past two years of what I’ve gone through. Whether it’s in Denver or somewhere else, I hope it’s in Denver, I hope I get to finish there. I committed there, I wanted to be there. I want to be there. For me, it’s about winning — over the next two years, I want to win two [Super Bowls], I want to feel the chill of that trophy again. I love the city and everything else, but you also want to be [in] a place that wants you, too. The thing I want to do is to win, that’s all I care about,” Wilson told I AM AN ATHLETE.

Atlanta has emerged as a frontrunner for Wilson’s services if he does leave Denver. However, even when I AM AN ATHLETE host Brandon Marshall read the odds of Wilson’s next team, Wilson remained committed to Denver. “Well, I’m going to put Denver 1, because I’m there right now, but I think you have to have the ability to compartmentalize that. Listen, it’s a business and you’ve got to be non-emotional about it and no matter what you control to what you can control. If it’s not [in Denver], though, I’ve got to go to a place where we can win again,” Wilson said. Where do you think Wilson is going to end up? Let us know in the comments.

Max Strus Hits Halfcourt Buzzer Beater to Lead Cavs Over Mavs

In a stunning turnaround, the Cleveland Cavaliers triumphed over the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday night, clinching a 121-119 win despite a formidable performance from Mavericks’ Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving.

Trailing by 10 points with less than four minutes remaining, Cavs’ Max Strus ignited a furious comeback, sinking four consecutive 3-pointers in just 67 seconds. Strus’ heroic buzzer-beating 59-footer sealed the victory. Strus finished with 21 points, while Donovan Mitchell contributed 31.

The Cavs’ triumph marks a remarkable turnaround, with Strus’ rapid-fire 3s entering the record books as the fourth-shortest time for a player to make four 3-pointers in a game. Strus’ game-winning shot from beyond the mid-court line also stands as the second-longest tracked game-winner in regular-season history since 1997-98. The thrilling victory underscores the Cavaliers’ resilience and ability to seize victory from the jaws of defeat.

Late CFO for Sherri Shepherd Show Accused of Embezzling $5 Million

by
Screen Shot 2024 02 28 at 9.59.26 AM

The Sherri Shepherd show has been thrust into the spotlight for all the wrong reasons. Last week, reports emerged revealing a deeply troubling financial scandal involving the show’s chief financial officer, Matt Uzzle, who tragically took his own life in the midst of an investigation into missing funds.

Uzzle, also overseeing financial matters for The Wendy Williams Show, has been implicated in the disappearance of a staggering sum, with estimates surpassing $5 million. The unraveling of this scandal has sent shockwaves through the entertainment industry and cast a shadow over both shows’ operations.

According to reports from The Sun, Uzzle, who served as the executive producer for Sherri Shepherd’s show, was found deceased on February 13 at his residence in Piermont, New York, in what appears to be a suicide. His untimely death has only deepened the mystery surrounding the missing funds and raised questions about the extent of his involvement.

Sources close to the investigation have shed light on the circumstances leading up to Uzzle’s demise. Following a serious accident, allegedly involving his motorcycle, Uzzle’s absence from work prompted colleagues to uncover alarming discrepancies in financial records. Bills remained unpaid, contracts with essential service providers were neglected, and suspicions arose regarding the mismanagement of funds.

Reports suggest that an internal investigation was launched into the financial irregularities, casting a cloud of suspicion over Uzzle’s actions during his tenure. It is believed that he was instrumental in overseeing the budget for both the Sherri Shepherd and Wendy Williams shows, making the magnitude of the missing funds all the more alarming.

The scale of the financial misconduct is staggering, with allegations pointing to Uzzle’s involvement in the disappearance of millions of dollars over an extended period. The revelation has sent shockwaves through the industry, tarnishing the reputation of the Sherri Shepherd show and raising concerns about financial oversight within the organization.

Amidst the turmoil, questions have emerged regarding the knowledge and complicity of higher-ups within the organization. With Uzzle’s longstanding tenure and close ties to senior management, speculation abounds about who knew what and when. The involvement of Debmar Mercury, the production company behind the Sherri Shepherd show, further complicates the matter, as parent company Lionsgate demands accountability for the missing funds.

As investigations continue and the fallout from this scandal unfolds, the Sherri Shepherd show finds itself embroiled in a crisis that threatens its integrity and future. The tragic loss of Matt Uzzle has left behind a trail of unanswered questions and a cloud of uncertainty hanging over the once-prominent daytime talk show.

In the wake of this turmoil, the entertainment industry grapples with the sobering reality of financial impropriety and the devastating toll it can exact, leaving behind shattered reputations and irreparable damage in its wake. As the investigation progresses, the full extent of the scandal’s impact remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: the fallout from this financial scandal will reverberate for years to come.
