Quavo Weighs In As Fans Debate If He Or Chris Brown Is More Relevant

by

Quavo and Chris Brown’s dislike for each other has spanned quite a few years now. It was brought back into the public light earlier this month. Videos emerged online of the pair sitting next to each other during a runway show at Paris Fashion Week a few weeks ago. Brown felt the need to respond to the videos clarifying that he still isn’t a fan of the former Migos rapper and that he didn’t get to choose his seat.

During a recent episode of Rory & Mal, the two hosts discuss the situation. They debate who the organizers should have moved which becomes a debate over who’s the bigger star. The hosts go back and forth over whether or not Quavo is a more relevant star in 2024 even though Brown may have at one point been bigger. In the replies to the debate, many fans take Brown’s side. “I would’ve LOST it in this room… Quavo bigger than who??? They’ve lost their complete minds. I didn’t think it could get more disrespectful than this conversation. Stop playing with CB,” one of the top replies reads. But fans weren’t the only ones to weigh in on the debate.

Quavo himself weighed in on the debate in a tweet. “The biggest QUAVO HUNCHO!! Aint goin back and forth” his response reads. Though you’d think the responses to his own post would be more in the Migos rapper’s favor, they aren’t. There are plenty of comments making memes and jokes about how he handled the situation. Though they come in a sea of fans requesting that he drop new music soon.

Last year, Quavo and Travis Scott teased a potential sequel to their Huncho Jack, Jack Huncho collaborative album.

It goes without saying that the Barbz’s response to Megan Thee Stallion’s song “Hiss” has been nothing short of disastrous. Since the track dropped, they’ve been embroiled in a heated battle with Meg’s fanbase online. Nicki eventually responded with a song of her own, “Bigfoot.” Unfortunately, however, it’s done little to quiet the uproar.

Recently, some diehard Barbz even leaked the location of Megan Thee Stallion’s mother’s grave. “You know what to do,” they told fellow supporters. For obvious reasons, it was assumed that they planned to desecrate the gravesite. The post received plenty of backlash on social media, with the Hotties and also most Barbz agreeing that things had gone too far.

Charlamagne Thinks Things Have Gone Too Far

During a recent episode of The Breakfast Club, Charlamagne Tha God weighed in on the debacle, and he agreed.

He also adds that they could find themselves in some serious danger at the hands of their loved ones, insisting that they use some common sense.

“Older people would tell you, don’t play with the dead,” he explained. “Ain’t no good gonna come to anybody doing stuff like that. You have cursed yourself and don’t even know it, okay? You do not play with the dead in that way, you let the deceased rest in peace. It’s all fun and games until you can’t sleep at night because you’re getting visited by those spirits you playing with.” What do you think of Barbz threatening to mess with the gravesite of Megan Thee Stallion’s mother amid her feud with Nicki Minaj?

A Judge Ruled That Lyrics Can’t Be Used As Evidence In Jam Master Jay’s Murder Trial

The use of rap lyrics in criminal trials has become a controversial issue in recent years, as cases like the racketeering case against Young Thug in Georgia have highlighted the discrepancy between how rappers are treated compared to other artists. As bills like RAP Act are being introduced federally and in states like California and New York to protect artists’ freedom of expression, each new high-profile trial must navigate the increasingly choppy waters of the decision of whether art imitates life.

In the upcoming trial against the accused killer of Jam Master Jay, a judge has determined that “music artists should be free to create without fear that their lyrics could be unfairly used against them.” According to Billboard, Judge LaShann DeArcy Hall has ruled that lyrics cannot be used as evidence against Karl Jordan Jr., who allegedly shot the Run-DMC DJ in his head in 2002. Prosecutors wanted to introduce the lyrics, which refer to just that violent act, as evidence of his involvement in the crime.

“We aim for the head, no body shots, and we stick around just to see the body drop.”

Hall elaborated on Tuesday (January 30), “Courts should be wary of overly permissive rules allowing the use of rap lyrics and videos against criminal defendants at trial. Music artists should be free to create without fear that their lyrics could be unfairly used against them at a trial.” Regarding the lyrics that prosecutors wanted to use, the savvy judge cited lyrics by Nas and Ice Cube, noting that they, like Jordan’s raps, “merely contain generic references to violence that can be found in many rap songs.” “Jordan’s lyrics are simply too imprecise,” she declared.

Her full statements are insightful and measured, and really get to the heart of the problem with using lyrics in court. She even references Kendrick Lamar’s “The Art of Peer Pressure” to point out the difference between artists confessing details of crimes in music and rap music’s incentivized lyrical tough-guy posturing. “Themes of violence and criminality have become so prevalent within the genre that they have little, if any, probative value at trial,” the judge wrote. “It is critical that resolution of guilt and innocence emerge from evidence with a close relationship to a specific criminal act, and not be based on perceptions born from the commercial and artistic promotion of a criminal lifestyle.”

Travis Kelce & Patrick Mahomes Address Justin Tucker Beef

by

Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes have both put the onus for their pre-championship game dispute with Justin Tucker on the Ravens kicker. During the latest episode of New Heights, Kelce explained that Tucker had been a “f-cking d-ck” and had been purposefully messing with Mahomes and Kelce as they warmed up. “If you want to be a f-cking d-ck about it, you keep your helmet and your football and your f-cking kicking tee right where the quarterbacks are warming up and they’re dropping, eyes are looking left and they’ve got a helmet down by their feet,” Kelce told his brother.

Meanwhile, Mahomes said this Tucker’s behavior has become a regular occurrence when the Chiefs and Ravens play. “I’ve had seven years of doing that same warmup routine and there’s only been like three occasions where there’s been a kicker that wasn’t moving out of the way. It was in Baltimore all three times. He does that to get under our skin. I asked him to move his stuff and he got up and moved it I think two inches but didn’t move it out of the way. I was going to let it slide but Travis moved it for me and after that I wasn’t going to let him put it back down,” Mahomes told local sports radio in Kansas City.

What Happened With Travis Kelce And Justin Tucker?

During pre-game warmups prior to the AFC Championship Game, Kelce was seen kicking and throwing equipment belonging to Tucker. Fans immediately piled on the “disrespectful” behavior. “Mahomes and kelce are some losers for that low key,” one fan noted. Meanwhile, several other fans noted how good the “inevitable” game-winning field goal from Tucker was going to feel.

However, that field goal would not come. After close start to the game, the Chiefs opened up a 10-point lead at halftime and played lights-out defense in the second half. The Ravens managed just three points across the final 30 minutes to lose 17-10 and blow their best shot at a Super Bowl in a decade. Instead, the Chiefs will look to repeat as Super Bowl champions against the 49ers, who rallied from a 17-point deficit to beat the Lions.

Eminem Scraps Diss Track After Lions OC Stays In Detroit

by

Eminem has opted not to release a diss track about Lions OC Ben Johnson after the highly-regarded coach recommitted to Detroit this week. Guess I should stop recording this diss track..!! Lol!! @ Ben Johnson Thank you for staying!!! We can’t break this team up ESPECIALLY since I’M on it!!! Coach Campbell we love you bro!!! Let’s run it back next year!!…I’m READY!!!! I promise you I WILL get us to the super bowl!!! 😄,” Eminem wrote on X.

For the second year in a row, Johnson was widely considered one of the hottest head coaching prospects in the NFL. However, despite being a leading candidate for the vacancies in both Seattle and Washington, Johnson once again chose to remain part of Dan Campbell’s staff at Ford Field. Per ESPN, several teams were reportedly put off by Johnson’s asking price. As a result, Johnson will return to the team with the third-most per-game yardage and fifth-highest-scoring offense in the league this season.

Lions Praise Return Of Ben Johnson

Meanwhile, the Lions are more than happy to retain Johnson. “Yeah, if it comes to that, that’s, obviously, very important. I mean, he was a critical piece for us. He’s a critical piece. And I’m not worrying about that just yet. I need to at least get two hours of sleep and then I’ll begin. But I’m not going to rush, I can promise you that. I’m not in some mad rush. I’m going to make sure it’s right,” Campbell said prior to Johnson’s decision on Monday.

“I think how much input he allows me to have and whether he takes it or he doesn’t, he allows me to say it and uses some of it. It’s fun for me, it really is. It allows me to really be a part of the plan in some ways. And he’s a great listener and listens to not only me, but all the players of what they want, what they see. And that’s not only through the week, but on game day the same way,” starting QB Jared Goff said of Johnson last week.
