Damar Hamlin Shares First Update Since Injury
Damar Hamlin posted a statement on social media for the first time since his recent injury on Instagram, Saturday. Captioning a photo of himself on the field, Hamlin thanked fans for their continued support.
“When you put real love out into the world it comes back to you 3x’s as much,” Hamlin began. “The Love has been overwhelming, but I’m thankful for every single person that prayed for me and reached out. We brung the world back together behind this. If you know me you know this only gone make me stronger. On a long road keep praying for me!”
According to the latest updates from the Buffalo Bills, Hamlin is breathing on his own and able to speak to family, doctors, and teammates. The starting safety FaceTime’d his teammates, earlier this week.
“To hear him talk to us, it was everything, and that’s what we needed. Literally, that’s all we needed,” Bills offensive tackle Dion Dawkins said of the moment.
Hamlin originally collapsed during a game between the Bills and the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday night. He suffered cardiac arrest and needed to be transported to a nearby hospital, where he was sedated and placed on a ventilator.
While the Bills’ game against the Bengals will not resume, the team will take on the Patriots, this Sunday. During the matchup, the Bills will wear “3” patches on their jerseys. Additionally, as games across the NFL began to kick off over the weekend, the league plans to honor Hamlin before each game.

Kylie Jenner And Travis Scott Have Reportedly Broken Up Once Again
Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott have reportedly broken up, according to US Weekly. The news arrives after Jenner and Scott had spent the holidays apart.
“Kylie and Travis are off again, they were supposed to spend the holidays together, but she went to Aspen to be with her family and friends up there,” said the source to the magazine. “This has happened so many times before, they’re known to be on again off again, but always remain friends and great coparents.”
Jenner and Scott first began dating in 2017. The two welcomed their daughter, Stormi, in February of 2018. The two first decided to take some time apart in 2019, not considering it a “full break up,” but making the choice to co-parent Stormi. The two were later reported to have reconciled in May 2021, and three months later, the two were reported to be expecting their second child.
In a video Jenner shared to YouTube, recapping her 2022, she revealed that while she loves all of her sisters equally, she’s revealed that having children of her own has brought her closer to her sister, Khloe Kardashian.
“We’re in this little mom club and it’s a whole thing,” she said. “…They’re all my best friends. It’s been a great year.”
Thankfully, it seems like Jenner has plenty of family to lean on during this time.
Steve Madden Says He’s “Obsessed” With Suge Knight
Steve Madden says that he’s “obsessed” with Suge Knight and wants to meet the former music executive. Madden discussed his appreciation for Knight while speaking with Joe Budden on Humans.
“I’m obsessed with Suge Knight. I never met him, I want to meet him,” Madden admitted.
Knight is currently serving 28 years in prison for voluntary manslaughter regarding a fatal 2015 hit-and-run. Madden says that he’s willing to visit the former Death Row mogul in prison if need be.
“Coming from where he came from, I think we need to cut him a little bit of a break. Although running over a guy probably not a great thing that he did,” Madden said. “I do admire the entrepreneurial spirit.”
Madden is no stranger to legal trouble. He spent 41 months in prison for stock manipulation, money laundering, and securities fraud back in 2002. He says that prison gave him the chance to learn about hip-hop music.
“I listened to southern Hip Hop which was like T.I. and all those, you know, those guys, that’s what we heard down there because I was in the south,” Madden said. “I remember, you know, that sort of like, that whole Atlanta and then Trick Daddy and all that stuff, and I would listen T.I.”
In addition to Suge Knight, Madden says that he also wants to meet Master P.
“I look up to Master P, I really admire Master P a lot,” Madden explained. “I was in prison with some guys from the projects that he was from.”

Baby Stone Gorillas Drop New Song, “WOP”
2022 proved to be quite the breakthrough year for the Baby Stone Gorillas. In January, the L.A. rap group dropped their debut self-titled tape, BABYST5XNE GORILLAS. Following the success of their first project, they proceeded to drop two more before the year’s end.

Consisting of rappers Top5ivee, P4K, 5Much and EKillaOffDaBlock, each member brings something unique to their street-heavy sound.
On Friday (January 6), they dropped off their newest single, “WOP,” along with an accompanying music video.
The new song and video have a celebratory aura, as they settle into their spot as L.A.’s newest supergroup. They’re flexing the perks of their lifestyle, while simultaneously telling stories of their time spent in the streets.
As the members each take turns sharing verses, their respective personalities shine through their bars. 5Much is responsible for delivering the entertaining hook and melodic outro, but the other three members spit verses of their own. “I’m still on the block baby, I’m in love with toting guns / I been through a lot lately, this the life of a thug / You live fast and die young,” raps Top5ivee in his.
Additionally, the group is gearing up to release a brand new project, The Military. The 23-track mixtape will arrive on streaming services on February 10. Their 2021 song, “Military,” is one of their most successful tracks thus far.

Start throwing that sh*t on, mismatchin’, OK, I’m flyin’
Everything I do, it takes patience and it’s timing
Hop up in the coupe without that side and I recline it
