Travis Scott Interviews Himself At GQ Men Of The Year Awards
Travis Scott asked himself his own questions while walking the red carpet at the GQ Men of the Year Awards at the Chateau Marmont in West Hollywood, last week. When one reporter approached him carrying flashcards, Scott took the cards and began asking himself the questions.
“‘You wanted to turn UTOPIA into a musical — is there a plan for a Broadway show yet?’ Fuck yeah, it is,” he said. “‘You said you wanted to study architecture at Harvard — which city’s architecture inspires you the most?’ Not gonna lie, Tokyo is kind of fire … Rome is fire …Pompeii is actually amazing … Chile is actually cr*zy […] Brazil is actually fucking beautiful.”

Travis Scott Attends GQ Men Of The Year Awards
Scott previously revealed that he wanted to take Utopia to Broadway during a recent interview with GQ. He explained: “I wanted the album to be a play. I was trying to take Broadway — because the thing about Broadway theaters, they’re kind of small — I was trying to bring the idea of Broadway to bigger venues. Either plays in stadiums or plays in arenas, but still make it feel like a Broadway bill.” He added: “I love Jeremy O. Harris. He’s amazing. We were exploring all these different ideas. I met with him. I met with a couple of different people. We just talked about the idea of it happening. I was still trying to figure it out,” he said. Check out his Men of the Year red-carpet interview below.

Kai Cenat Defends 7-Day Prison Stream Against “Glorification” Backlash
Kai Cenat has passionately defended his recent weeklong jail livestream after many critics argued that he had glorified prison life. “Y’all n-ggas just going off the clips you saw. But were you there when we brought in the baddest kids in the community and sat down and spoke to them? What about the thousand times I said ‘hey this is bad, I don’t wanna be here’? Or me waking up at 6am shivering, back hurt, eating wack-ass food, saying this is why you don’t want to be here,” Cenat argued on a recent stream.
The issue for many people is that any good that Cenat did with the stream was undercut by the goofiness that went down over the stream’s runtime. Cenat had a myriad of famous guests. However, many of them seemingly didn’t get Cenat’s memo that it was meant to be a teaching moment. Chrisean Rock was rizzing chat, NLE Choppa was making rape jokes every chance he got, and a guy ran into a wall after a fake brawl. While his intentions may have been noble, Cenat’s execution clearly prioritized entertainment over any sort of moral lesson.

Cenat Cops New Back Tattoo

However, in more positive news, Cenat recently unveiled a new back tattoo. The new ink pays homage to his New York City origins. The piece includes two references to his AMP content house. “Any Means Possible” is written across his shoulder blades and the AMP logo on his lower back. However, the rest of the piece is all New York. The Statue of Liberty can be prominently seen, as can a New York subway car. Furthermore, there is a large street sign labeled The Bronx with a pair of Tims hanging from it.
Cenat’s identity is firmly linked to his origins in New York. A New Yorker through and through, the streamer has a deep love for the city. However, the city hasn’t always loved him back. Earlier this year, Cenat was arrested for causing a small riot in Union Square. The incident came about as a result of Cenat announcing an impromptu meetup and giveaway without clearing it with law enforcement or city officials.

Who Is Chrisean Rock Dating? K Suave Rumours Fly, Blueface And Karlissa Saffold React To New Romance
Even though her relationship with Blueface didn’t work out as planned, Chrisean Rock isn’t letting new motherhood stop her from finding her next lover. For a minute, she looked to be romancing Lil Mabu, her “MR. TAKE YA B*TCH” collaborator, even flaunting a tattoo on her stomach dedicated to the teen earlier this fall. It’s unclear what the status of their relationship is at this time, though we’ve been seeing Rock spending time with Sexually Active artist K Suave, which she isn’t hiding from social media – perhaps in hopes of getting a rise out of Junior’s dad.
If that’s been the 23-year-old’s plan all along, then it’s certainly working. Both he and his mother Karlissa Saffold are seemingly sharing their thoughts on Rock’s love life this weekend, and the latter even seems to approve of the Baddies cast member moving on from Blue. “Well he got them big hands,” Saffold said of Suave in an Instagram comment. “Take it slow Rock,” she urged her son’s ex. “Go watch my interview to avoid mistakes you will regret later,” Karlissa added, referencing her recent sit-down with Jason Lee.

Interestingly, after his second baby mama shared videos riding around in a car with lights decorating the roof, Blue wrote, “If you want stars ona roof gotta get that Rolls Royce. Don’t be cheap,” before sharing a video with his MILF Music artist in their tricked out vehicle. “I could tweet, ‘The sky is blue,’ and y’all gone be like, ‘Oh, he only saying that to throw shade,’” Blueface wrote online after being accused of obsessing over his ex.

Draymond Green Parodied On “SNL” After Rudy Gobert Incidnt
Pop culture juggernaut SNL used its most recent episode to address the biggest sports story of the week – Draymond Green choking out Rudy Gobert. Cast member Devon Walker donned a graying beard and Warriors hoodie to embody Green joining the Weekend Update desk. In the brief segment, Walker’s Green jokes about being enraged by the “7 foot baguette” that is Gobert while also addressing his history of on-court violence. “I strangle that trouble. I keep my teammates safe,” Walker argues. However, after WU host Michael Che asked about Green punching Jordan Poole, Green added Che to his “hit list”.
If you missed it, Green, Klay Thompson, and Jaden McDaniels were all ejected less than two minutes into Tuesday night’s in-season tournament matchup between the Warriors and Timberwolves. The brawl broke out after Thompson and McDaniels clashed in transition. McDaniels pulled on Thompson’s jersey while the latter contested for a long rebound and the pair remained tangled up amid the ensuing breakaway. The two proceeded to start fighting, leading to a game-stopping brawl. Amid the chaos, Green was seen putting Rudy Gobert in a headlock. Furthermore, Green was later hit with a five-game suspension for his actions.

Deion Sanders Approves Of SNL Impression
However, Draymond Green isn’t the only athlete to have gotten the SNL treatment this season. Deion Sanders expressed his approval of Kenan Thompson’s impression of him on a Weekend Update segment last month. “I’m a fan of Kenan, let’s get that straight. I love what he’s brought to comedy. I had the pleasure and honor to host Saturday Night Live before and I’ll never forget those moments,” Sanders said of the skit. As for Sanders’ SNL hosting gig, that came in February 1995, a couple weeks after he won Super Bowl 30 with the Niners.
Despite this, there’s not been much for Sanders to smile about over in Boulder. After a 3-0 start to the season, Sanders’ Colorado Buffaloes are now 4-7 with one game left to play. They earned their fifth consecutive loss of the year this past Friday after Washington State steamrolled them 56-14. While many diehards will point to how Sanders turned a 1-11 team into a four-win team, it’s far from acceptable from the brightest star in college football. The Buffs close out the season against Utah in Salt Lake City next week.

[WATCH]Tameka Foster Opens Up About Criticism of Her Age, Skin Color + More Affecting Her Marriage With Usher
Back in 2009, R&B star Usher Raymond filed for divorce from his first wife, Tameka Foster, after a brief two year marriage that produced two children. Now in a new interview, Tameka is opening up about the outside pressure that was placed on their marriage because of her age, skin color, and her estranged relationship with Usher’s mother. Tameka says that pressure from his fans, swayed by age differences and her previous marriage, placed Tameka under relentless examination, sparking chaos in her marriage.
The fashion stylist/philanthropist also faced judgment for having children and a prior marriage, which fans felt tarnished Usher’s clean wholesome image. The public’s idealized dreams marred their marriage ultimately causing a divorce.

Is Erica Dixon Pregnant? “L&HH” Star Reveals If She And Lil Scrappy Are Expecting Another Child
Erica Dixon has vehemently denied the rumors that she is pregnant with Lil Scrappy’s baby. Rumors swirled after she was spotted in Vegas with Scrappy. However, Dixon put those rumors to rest in a recent livestream, saying she was not pregnant and had no immediate plans to be pregnant. Furthermore, she showed off her outfit for the pre-Thanksgiving girls’ night she was helping throw, showing no signs of a baby bump.
Of course, the pair already share one child as a result of their decade-plus involvement with one another. However, Dixon has made it clear that her focus at the moment is finding a successful model of co-parenting with Scrappy. “I ultimately have to have a relationship, deal with him forever because we do share a child. Emani is going to get married one day, have kids and [we gon] share a grandchild. Like we just gon forever be family,” Dixon said recently. It’s unclear why the pair were in Vegas together. However, the trip was their second together in the last few months.

Momma Dee Blasts Bambi For Lying About Dixon & Scrappy
However, wherever Dixon and Scrappy are involved, you know Bambi isn’t too far away. Scrappy’s ex and thus Dixon’s rival went after the pair after they vacationed in Hawaii together. However, Bambi shaded Scrappy, saying that he invited her and her kids first and that Dixon was essentially his backup option. Bambi went to say that Scrappy “gets what he wants” and he’ll hop from woman to woman to get it.
However, Momma Dee, Scrappy’s mother and proud Bambi hater, called cap on Bambi’s claims. Dee argued that Bambi’s story made no sense as the Hawaiian vacation was to celebrate Dixon’s birthday. Therefore, Scrappy would have never invited Bambi in the first place. “She’s a lie, she don’t even know the truth. The more she lie, the more big her gums get,” Momma Dee noted.

Diddy Forced Cassie To Use NSFW Terms While Searching For “Freak Off” Participants, Lawsuit Claims
Diddy allegedly forced Cassie to use NSFW terms such as “large Black penises” while searching for participants in the voyeuristic sex acts he labeled, “Freak Offs.” For these, the two would travel to luxury hotels across the United States where Diddy would watch Cassie hook up with male sex workers while masturbating. Cassie’s recent lawsuit against the Bad Boy mogul, which she’s since settled, detailed the incidents.
Her filing claimed: “Ms. Ventura was eventually instructed to use websites and escort services to find male sex workers to participate in the FOs. Mr. Combs told Ms. Ventura to search for ‘large black penises’ on the website.”

Elsewhere in the lawsuit, Cassie accused Diddy of several wrongdoings including rape, physical abuse, introducing her to alcohol and drugs, and more. When she attempted to escape the relationship, Diddy would allegedly threaten her career in the entertainment industry. “Over the years that Mr. Combs abused Ms. Ventura physically and sexually, she again and again tried to escape his tight hold over her life,” the lawsuit stated. “Every time she hid, Mr. Combs’s vast network of corporations and affiliated entities found her, and those who worked for Mr. Combs’s companies implored her to return to him. Many went as far as to explicitly state that her failure to return to Mr. Combs would hinder her success in the entertainment industry.” The two settled just one day after Cassie filed the lawsuit.

Despite the settlement, Diddy continues to proclaim he did no wrong. His lawyer, Ben Brafman, clarified the implications of the settlement in a statement provided to Page Six on Saturday. Brafman wrote: “Just so we’re clear, a decision to settle a lawsuit, especially in 2023, is in no way an admission of wrongdoing. Mr. Combs‘ decision to settle the lawsuit does not in any way undermine his flat-out denial of the claims. He is happy they got to a mutual settlement and wishes Ms. Ventura the best.” Be on the lookout for further updates on Diddy and Cassie on HotNewHipHop.
