Snoop Dogg Says Tupac Gave Him His “Pimp” Persona, Taught Him “How To Be A Star”

Snoop Dogg says he has a lot to thank Tupac for, chalking up his signature “pimp” persona and work ethic to the late Hip-Hop icon.  

During his appearance on The 85 South Comedy Show, the Death Row Records CEO recalled ‘Pac teaching him “how to be a star,” starting with his image.  

Snoop says during his post-Doggystyle era, he was ” dressing like a n#### from the hood,’ and would wear khakis and Chucks.  

“That n#### like, ‘Me and you finna have a meeting. We stepping our game up. We gotta change your look, Snoop Dogg,’” Tupac told him. “’You a pimp, n####. B###### love you. You fly. You gotta start showing your fly side!'”  

“‘I’ma get you suited up.’ ‘I’ma call this n#### Dion Scott, get your suits fitted, get your hair laid, get your nails done. Put some pimpin’ on screen, n####.’”  

However, Snoop Dogg admitted it took him some time to become accustomed to his new look, as worn by him and Tupac in the “2 of Amerikaz Most Wanted” video in 1996. 

“He dressed me up in suits, Louis Vuitton, Gucci — s### I couldn’t even spell or pronounce! All this Italian s###,” he continued. “Just look at how I’m standing next to cuh when I’m wearing it. I’m trying to figure it out! I’m like, ‘Do I look right? I hope I don’t look sweet ’cause these pants tight as a muthafucka!’’  

Nonetheless, Snoop Dogg says once he “got comfortable” with the look, he understood what Tupac was doing.  

“‘OK, this n####’s teaching me how to be a star,’” he recalled. “Like, levels and layers. ‘We know you gangsta, dawg, but can you go higher than that? What if a n#### call you to be in a movie where they want you to be a lawyer? What if a n#### wants you to be a detective?’”  

Snoop Dogg Credits Tupac With Teaching Him How To Become A Star

Elsewhere in the interview, the Doggfather recalled joining ’Pac in the studio shortly after his release from prison in 1995. It was then he got to see the “Hit Em Up” hitmaker’s work ethic himself.  

“We make a song, we in that muthafucka listening to it for like four hours. Got b###### up in there. N##### like, ‘This s### banging!’” Snoop said. “We got in this n#### room, he on his fifth song. This n#### make a song, as soon as it got off, ‘Pull the next beat up! We ain’t finna be listening to that s###, that’s the engineer’s job to mix that s###. Next song.’”  

According to Snoop Dogg, he learned star quality for Tupac.  

“[He was] not one of them n##### that’s in the studio like, ‘Man, get all these n##### outta here!’ He entertained that s###,” Snoop added. “I wasn’t a star ’til I was next to him; he showed me how to be a star. This n#### was a star. Snoop Dogg was famous, but I didn’t know how to be a star.” Check out the interview below.  

Kanye West Says He “May Be Slightly Autistic,” Denies He’s Having An Episode

Kanye West has given another bizarre curbside interview in which he claimed he is not bipolar but autistic before ranting about the devil working through China.  

Celebrity gossip outlet X17 caught up with Ye outside the Cornerstone Christian Church in Los Angeles on Sunday (Dec. 11).  

The G.O.O.D. Music founder addressed his comments praising Hitler before admitting he might be “slightly autistic.”  

“Like my dad said: ‘You know, they’re gonna smear your name if you’re associated with Hitler.’ Yeah, obviously! Of course, dad,” Kanye said, his face covered in a black ski mask. “Good idea, thanks a lot.”  

He continued: “The truth is Jesus says love everyone, God says love everyone. For me, I believe that in no way I am not Bipolar, I am not in some kind of episode, but I may be slightly autistic – like ‘Rain Man’, and that’s part of my superpower!” 

According to Kanye West: “That’s the reason why I can produce tracks and design and do so many things but what I can’t do. There’s two things that I can’t do: I can’t accept hate and I can’t hate.” 

Later in the interview, Kanye West said “we need to bring Christ to China,” while spewing more antisemitic tropes.  

“China control y’all,” Ye declared. “China made this phone and controls this phone and controls the people that you’re gonna give this video to. The Jewish people are the middle men, they sold America to China. They sold the American media. There’s reports that we might be in outright war, not just a cyber war, but an outright war with China within the next five years.” 

He continued, “People say our greatest threat is China. Our greatest threat is Satan. At all costs, we need to bring Christ to China. Chinese people are not bad. Every Chinese person in the world didn’t invent the Coronavirus. Every Chinese person didn’t bring Fentanyl over to America. Yes, there are people that are the head of the New World Order…that are part of elite Zionist Jews…but that’s Satan using them.” Check out the interview at the end of the page.  

Meanwhile, earlier this week, Kanye West made headlines after being crowned “Antisemite Of The Year.” In addition, Clubhouse banned the rapper for flouting their rules following a conversation with Wack 100. In the same chat, he claimed “Rosa Parks was a plant,” before making more antisemitic statements.

From the trenches to a Billboard charting, platinum selling artist, 2KBaby is a stand out talent worthy of your serious attention. When 2KBaby gifts us with a record, you can feel it, you can see his story and his pain as he depicts the vision.

A lot has happened in the past two years for 2KBaby. Despite becoming a star, and opening up a lane for Kentucky, 2K faced the sudden passing of his father and was still able to churn out hits and ink a major deal.

From the death of close ones and friends being incarcerated, coupled with his loyalty being tested within his own circle, 2K has found therapy in his music..

“At this point I don’t know what love is exactly or if I’m doing it right. Nor do I feel like anybody else knows for sure either. How can any one person claim their way of thinking or perception is the right one. At the same time though, I’m tired of trying to figure it out. I feel like I’m destroying myself expecting anything else from others other than them to please & satisfy themselves. I can’t stand love because it’s a myth. Or is it?”

Produced by KyleYouMadeThat,  2KBaby to glides across the track with his smooth vocals and impressive melodies. The Louisville, Kentucky standout is in a groove and with his recently announced project Scared 2 Luv coming soon, we are excited to hear more from the underrated and talented act as we get closer to the project’s release. 

Takeoff Murder Suspect Wants Bails Reduced From $2M To $100K, Vows To Live With Parents 

By: London Jennn Updated Category: News

The man accused of shooting Migos rapper Takeoff has asked a judge to reduce his $2 million bail, promising to live with his parents if the court grants his request.  

Patrick Xavier Clark filed a motion in Texas Monday (Dec. 12), TMZ reports, following his arrest by Houston PD on December 2 in connection with the fatal shooting of the 28-year-old rapper.  

Clark 33, charged with murder in connection with Takeoff’s death, has made several requests since his arrest. The latest request for financial assistance concerned his bail, which his attorney claims he cannot afford.  

His motion Monday asked the court to reduce his hefty $2 million bail to $100k so that he can remain free while he awaits trial. According to Clark, if granted, he can pay £100k with the help of a bail bondsman.  

Clark Promises To Return To His Parents Home While Awaiting Trial

Furthermore, Clark made promises should the court grant his motion. If granted bail, releasing him from state custody, he will return home to live with his parents. The suspect allegedly lived with his parents before his arrest.  

He also promised to wear a GPS ankle monitor upon his release and to abide by any curfew set by the court. In addition, Clark will surrender his passport and comply with any “no-contact” order the judge sees fit to set.  

Last week, as reported by AllHipHop.com, Clark asked the court for financial assistance to cover the costs of a private investigator. He filed a motion requesting $5,000 for a P.I. to prepare his defense for trial.  

Clark claimed he was unable to cover the costs himself and had already exhausted his family’s finances to cover his attorney’s “substantially reduced” fees. He claims the P.I. agreed to work for him at a reduced rate of $85 per hour.  

Takeoff was fatally shot outside a Houston Bowling alley on November 1, after attending a dice game. He was only 28 years old.

Taylor Swift Defeats Hip-Hop Producers In “Shake It Off” Battle

By: AllHipHop Staff Updated Category: News

A copyright infringement lawsuit relating to Taylor Swift’s Shake It Off has been dismissed.

Back in September 2017, songwriters Sean Hall and Nathan Butler launched legal action against the popstar, alleging the hit track copies the chorus of their 2001 song “Playas Gon’ Play,” – which they penned for girl group 3LW.

However, Swift repeatedly denied the accusations, arguing that similar phrases in both songs – “players gonna play” and “haters gonna hate” – were both common and popular.

After the lawsuit rumbled on for over five years, Hall and Butler reached an agreement with Swift’s lawyers on Monday in which they agreed to “(dismiss) this action in its entirety.”

A trial had been set to begin in January. According to editors at Variety, terms of the settlement remain “unclear,” with no details on financial aspects available.

A representative for Swift has not yet commented on the decision.

In August, the 32-year-old made a sworn declaration to the judge in the case in which she maintained that she had never heard Playas Gon’ Play before.

“The lyrics to ‘Shake It Off’ were written entirely by me,” she asserted. “Until learning about Plaintiffs’ claim in 2017, I had never heard the song ‘Playas Gon’ Play’ and had never heard of that song or the group 3LW.”

Young Thug Hit With More Charges While Awaiting RICO Trial

Prosecutors filed three misdemeanor charges against Young Thug, who awaits trial in a racketeering case.

According to WSB-TV, Young Thug was charged with street racing, reckless driving and speeding. He allegedly drove at 120 mph on Interstate 85 in May.

Young Thug’s lawyer Brian Steel was dismayed by the charges. Steel maintained his client’s innocence.

“As of two weeks ago, that case was being resolved with a seatbelt violation,” Steel told WSB-TV. “Today, now its indicted in the Fulton County Superior Court. He is being wronged by our system.”

Young Thug was indicted for conspiracy to violate Georgia’s RICO Act and participation in a criminal street gang in May. Prosecutors added six felony charges in August.

Gunna and more than two dozen YSL members were also indicted for racketeering. Prosecutors claim Young Thug’s YSL Records served as the front for a dangerous street gang.

The YSL RICO trial will begin in January. Prosecutors asked a judge to ban video recordings from the trial, citing concerns for witness safety. The prosecution raised no objections to audio recordings.

“Permitting an audio recording while prohibiting video recording will protect the safety of witnesses and other associated parties while still recognizing and supporting this State’s policy favoring open judicial proceedings,” prosecutors argued.

Megan Thee Stallion’s Sexual History Hits Trial

Well, it looks like some of the details that were previously unknown around noon. First of all, let’s keep it a book. Megan Thee Stallion lied to all of us. She said in an interview with Gayle King that she did not sleep with Tory Lanez. Even then, we knew it was a lie. However, we just figured that’s what she was going with. However, in a legal sense, you can’t lie so readily. The courts will eat you up and charge you with perjury if you lie on the stand.

READ ALSO: Megan Thee Stallion Rally Set For Day She Testifies Against Tory Lanez

Anyway, Megan Thee Stallion admitted in court that she slept with Tory Lanez. Was crazy. Is that her Meg and Ex Bff Kelsey Nicole  also slept with Tory. DaBaby and Ben Simmons also tossed it up. No respectability politics here, but you see where this is going.

People are basically calling Megan a heaux!

Anyway, both Tory and the best friend had gun residue on their hands and that is really the most important piece of information that has come out of the trial. Megan swears that Torri shot her and that she saw him shoot her. That seems to be clear and cut and that has not changed.

By the way, thousands of people gathered around the quart room in support of Megan thee stallion. Several advocacy groups have joined forces to not only support her, but also to chide anyone in support of these various supporters of Tory.  

Apparently, Kylie Jenner let Megan know she had to leave her home, which is where the whole thing happened, because she was acting too out of pocket. Anyway, this is all getting very spooky! 

One thing for sure, two things for certain….Meg is pointing fingers!

By: Brxton Lee Updated Category: Music

Music has evolved in multiple ways through the past decades. The change is more evident in raps, where artists have transcended heartbreaks and love stories to express other challenges and situations in life. Thanks to these modern artists, we now have songs for every mood, occasion, and feeling. In this regard, new additions continue to make the list. The renowned rapper Julian Caesar released his new single “Check my Resume.” Unarguably, the song did justice to its title, depicting the toils of an average job-seeker. No wonder “Check my Resume” is gaining massive attention across all major digital streaming platforms. 

Julian Caesar, the voice behind “Check my Resume,” is an American rapper, songwriter, recording artist, entrepreneur, and media proprietor. Born in Houston, Texas, in a family of musicians, Julian found his love and appreciation for music from a young age, but it wasn’t until he reached his 20s that he pursued music as a career. Demonstrating his passion for business, Julian has also worked as a project management professional consultant for Fortune 500 companies such as Sysco Foods, Deloitte, and Ernst & Young. Still, nothing has been more fulfilling than a music career. 

In 2013, Julian combined his passion for music and knowledge of business to launch a full-service entertainment company – Grand Monsieur Entertainment. The company is an umbrella to multiple business ventures like a record label, clothing company, artist management services, concert/ event promotion, lifestyle brand, and more. Basking in the success of his entertainment company, Julian released his debut studio album titled “Heir To The Throne” in 2018, which became a massive hit on digital streaming platforms. 

Julian garnered both national and international recognition from his debut project. The famous publication “Houston Hip-hop weekly” lauded “Heir To The Throne” as a “captivating and moving debut that heralds the coming of a highly skilled lyricist, with a noteworthy sound.” Ever since, he has been more consistent in his efforts, releasing hits every year. Unlike other artists who struggled to find recognition in music, Julian climbed the success ladder quickly. Julian had complete command over his craft right from the get-go, his first entry into the music industry. This helped him expand his identity without any limitations. 

Now he replicates the magic of his voice with his new song, “Check my Resume,” which touches upon all aspects of a job seeker. To be precise, the song speaks of the pain and yearnings of an average job seeker. Like all of Julian’s previous hits, this song also has hard-hitting music accompanied by rhythmic beats, and the power of lyrics triumphs over everything else. Julian has remained bold and unapologetic in “Check My Resume, ” which is why the song has resonated with many. 

As a rapper and entrepreneur, Julian is excited for the journey ahead and more audacious milestones yet to be accomplished. He wants to reach millions through his music, positively impacting their lives. Julian dreams of winning a Grammy someday and leaving a legacy for generations to follow. He also wants to see Grand Monsieur become a global platform for fresh talents supporting them through music publishing, concerts/ tour promotions, clothing/ merchandise, production, strategic brand development, and beyond.

Ticketmaster Faces Trouble In Mexico Over Bad Bunny Ticket Debacle

By: Justin Ivey Updated Category: News

Ticketmaster is under fire for allegedly overselling tickets to a Bad Bunny show in Mexico.

According to multiple reports, the Office of the Federal Prosecutor for the Consumer (PROFECO) in Mexico started an investigation after hundreds of fans were denied entry to Bad Bunny’s concert. PROFECO’s Ricardo Sheffield said Ticketmaster will pay a fine and may be hit with a lawsuit.

“They are going to have to pay it and additionally they are going to be fined,” Sheffield told Radio Formula. “And the proportion of the fine is to be determined the following week. It is a very serious situation, quite delicate.”

Ticketmaster denied overselling tickets to the Bad Bunny concert. The company blamed the show’s issues on an influx of counterfeit tickets..

“As has been reported, on Friday an unprecedented number of fake tickets were presented at the entrance of [Estadio Azteca], purchased outside our official channels,” Ticketmaster said. “In addition to causing confusion among entrance officials, this situation generated a malfunction in our system, which for moments at a time, couldn’t properly identify legitimate tickets. It’s important to underscore that there was no oversale of tickets.”

Sheffield raised doubts about Ticketmaster’s explanation. He suggested the company was trying to make an excuse for its own mishaps.

“Ticketmaster claimed they were counterfeit, but they were all issued by them,” Sheffield said in a radio interview.

Bad Bunny fans experienced trouble a month after Ticketmaster botched the rollout of Taylor Swift concert tickets. The company canceled the public sale for her shows due to overwhelming presale demand, resulting in fans filing a lawsuit and the Justice Department launching an investigation.

YNW Melly Accuses Officers Of Threatening Him In Jail

By: Justin Ivey Updated Category: News

YNW Melly desperately pleaded for help via Instagram on Monday (December 12).

The incarcerated rapper said he feared for his life in the Broward County Jail. He reiterated previous allegations about mistreatment and claimed he’s been threatened by “high-ranking” officers in the Broward Sheriff’s Office.

“As of this moment today I am officially in fear of my life,” he wrote on Instagram. “A new Captain named Hubert and XO Jenkins have taken over the jail for two weeks now and have handed out even harsher punishments for me then the previous ones in place. Since December 1 I have been moved and housed on a unit that holds 24 inmates at once. I am the only inmate being housed on the vacant unit, with no phone privilege, no television and no access to a newspaper. They are watching my every move on camera making sure I don’t use the phone to tell the world how I am being mistreated, discriminated, threatened physically, harassed.”

YNW Melly described his situation as “cruel and unusual.” He named the officers who allegedly threatened him, explaining why he believed they will eventually attack him.

“I have been threatened by Deputies, Lieutenants and Sergeants that say ‘they will hide me from the world’ and threaten to ‘beat my ass everyday and if I tell my lawyers they will lie and say I hit them first,’” he wrote. “Words from Sergeant Anthony Kidd and Lieutenant Jean Baptiste. I have literally been hidden from the World so I have no other choice but to believe the next step is them beating ½ to death like they do to other inmates almost daily here at the main jail in Broward County.”

YNW Melly shared more of his jail problems in a second Instagram post. He suggested officials wrongfully denied his phone privileges and begged to be transferred to a different facility.

“I am not safe in the hands of these people especially if the highest in command in the jail ‘doesn’t like me,’” he wrote. “I am in fear of my life. My family is in fear of my life. I can not do another day here. Someone please help me get moved to another county jail until my trial. PLEASE!”

YNW Melly awaits trial on first-degree murder charges. Prosecutors accuse him of killing two of his friends in 2018.

Megan Thee Stallion Rally Set For Day She Testifies Against Tory Lanez

By: Justin Ivey Updated Category: News
Preferred Source Publisher Button>

Multiple organizations plan to show their support for Megan Thee Stallion when she testifies in the Tory Lanez shooting trial.

According to ABC News, Megan Thee Stallion is scheduled to testify against Tory Lanez on Tuesday (December 13). The Gathering for Justice, which was founded by singer/activist Harry Belafonte, announced it’s partnering with several women’s and violence prevention organizations for a rally outside of the courtroom.

“As an organization that values dignity, justice and liberation, we – along with many organizations – are gathering today to show our solidarity for Meg and support her with our love,” The Gathering for Justice’s CEO Carmen Perez-Jordan said in a press release. “We are committed to spreading the message that violence is not the answer. We know the time is now to advocate for victims of violence, particularly violence against Black women.”

Organizations involved in the rally include Southern Black Girls and Women’s Consortium, Homies Unidos and TimeDone. Supporters will assemble in front of the Clara Shortridge Foltz Criminal Justice Center at 8 a.m. on Tuesday.

“As a survivor of Domestic Violence it is imperative for women, not to mention women of color, to show support for Megan,” TimeDone’s organizing director Ingrid Archie said. “For us, we survive the violence as well as the feelings of isolation because this country has bought into the idea that Black women in particular are deserving of violence. We are Megan and we stand with her in this trying moment!”

Southern Black Girls and Women’s Consortium founder Latosha Brown added, “Why do I support Megan Thee Stallion? Because she looks like me. She is, unapologetically, a southern Black girl, a Black woman and a human being who has real thoughts, real feelings, real losses and real disappointments in both life and profession. Despite it all, she pushes through. And even in those moments when the extreme pressure of her entertainment persona makes her feel like giving up, she steps into a strength that is unwavering. And she shows up to deliver both her talent and her purpose to this world. That’s why I support her.”

The trial against Tory Lanez began on Monday (December 12). Prosecutors accuse him of shooting Megan Thee Stallion in July 2020.

Tory Lanez was originally charged with assault with a semi-automatic firearm and carrying a loaded, unregistered firearm in a vehicle. A week before the trial, prosecutors added a third charge for discharging a firearm with gross negligence.

Zelly Ocho is here to make his mark on the music industry. Hailing from Cleveland, Ohio, the rising star brings nothing but turnt energy in all his songs, carrying his own unique style and swag that allows him to stand out in the rap game.

Signed to 1400, the same label as Trippie Redd, Zelly Ocho is excited as ever to be unveiling his newest single and visual for “Duces.” 

The song derives from a vulnerable place, as Zelly Ocho explains, “I was inspired by fake friendships that after all the bull sh*t, I didn’t even want to hear from no one.”

Produced by Aevy and Evan Moiciso, “Duces” reflects Zelly’s innate ability to channel positive energy and insanity, regardless of the endless, unpredictable chaos of the world. Zelly Ocho’s tag line is VLAD, which stands for “very loyal and determined.” This is a lifestyle that welcomes people of all backgrounds.

In his recent interview and freestyle with On The Radar, Zelly stresses the importance of surrounding himself with like-minded people. He has also just signed to Cleopatra Records by A&R Kyle Perera.

And if there’s one thing he wants fans to take away from the record, he states, “Be aware of your circle and check on your brothers.”

Caresha Goes OFF On Akademiks After Being Called “Side Chick”

By: illseed Updated Category: Rumors

I don’t know what the hell possessed DJ Akademiks to mention the situation with Diddy, Yung Miami, and baby but he did. And she went off! For some reason, he thought it was appropriate to call her a “side b####.”

First of all, she is not that. She is all up in Diddy’s Instagram and his network Revolt. He flaunts her very outright. From what I understand about a side chick, they are in the shadows, and they are taken care of, but hidden. By the way, the rumor is Yung Miami gets like $200k per month as her allowance from the Bad Boy mogul! She is RICH compared to us all.

I don’t know where AK said this mess at, but Yung Miami caught wind of it, and became the city girl we know she is! She went berserk on Twitter earlier today, and has not deleted it yet! I screen grabbed it just in case, because I suspect she’s going to remove the post soon.

I have to admit, DJ Akademiks makes me wanna say something offensive because he gets more and more powerful with each offense. Dude is like the DragonballZ of rap!

I do agree with young Miami in one regard, he does not come outside! And I think that’s for the best, because if he comes outside, he’s going to get touched!

This is the attention economy that we live in today. I’m not mad at it, but I prefer anonymity. At the time of this writing, there has been no mention of Sean Combs in the mix of this latest fracas. But, we know what’s being said!

keeping it real, we know she’s hurt a bit. She’s probably hurt a lot. Her main man had a baby in October with another woman. Nothing about that will make you feel good. Oddly enough, she used some gay comments that have not gone over well, so I hope she avoids “them off for you “the mafia,” because that could be problematic for her.

Cardi B is recovering from the flu.

The “I Like It” rapper revealed on Twitter that she recently caught the contagious infection and is still experiencing lingering symptoms.

“I don’t like this new flu virus that’s going around,” she wrote with a pathogen emoji.

One user replied, “It almost took me tf (the f**k) out,” and Cardi responded by sharing her recent experience with influenza.

“It gave me the chills, sore throat and now I have a cough and my chest feels tight,” she shared.

The 30-year-old’s health news comes days after she revealed on Instagram Live that she had surgery in August to remove her butt implants.

“After I gave birth to my son, my a*s was f**king huge,” she explained. “In August, I did surgery and I removed 95 per cent of my biopolymers… if you don’t know what it is, it’s a*s shots. It was a really crazy process.”

Giving her advice to younger people considering surgery, Cardi insisted, “All I’m going to say is that if you’re young, if you’re 19, 20, 21, and sometimes you’re too skinny, and you be like ‘OMG I don’t have enough fat to put in my a*s’ so you result to a*s shots, don’t f**king do it.”

Cardi and her husband, Offset, welcomed their second child together, a son named Wave, in September 2021.

Kanye West Disses Rosa Parks Calling Civil Rights Icon “A Plant”

By: illseed Updated Category: Rumors

Yo! Kanye West continues to be the darling of debauchery in media. He has gone from bashing George Bush to bashing Black icons to bashing Jewish people back to bashing Black icons. This time he’s not aiming his sights for Harriet Tubman, but he’s aiming at our beloved Rosa Parks. For being a plant! Wait a second! Plant?

First of all Rosa Parks was not a vegetable or an organism that requires fertilizer and sunlight to grow. So what is he talking about? Oh, he’s talking about someone that was put in a position to do something clandestine and underhanded. Basically, he saying that the great Rosa Parks was a vehicle to do something unscrupulous within an industry, most typically associated with entertainment. Honestly, this doesn’t even warrant a lot of attention, but let’s entertain it for a moment here.

So, here’s what Kanye said exactly.

“All of these heroes man– it’s only one. That’s Jesus Christ. You’re gonna find out something about MLK, something about JFK, something about Malcolm, Rosa Parks. We know Rosa Parks was a plant.”

TF is he talking about? We found out something about you: you’re a b#tch! He went on the same some stuff about outrage as an economy as if he wasn’t controlling the stocks. And then he, once again, mentions Jewish people…for attention!

“We know all of these things and they use these media outlets to outrage. Outrage is an economy, the trauma economy. What death are we gonna promote this week? It ain’t like 14 people are getting killed every week in Chicago. But no, we’re going to publicize this on our– I’m not gonna say whose platform it is. It was the Jews.”

Clubhouse charged $20 to listen to that crap and then suspended him from the audio app.

“We took action to shut down a conversation yesterday because it violated our policies. We also suspended those who violated the policies. There’s absolutely no place for bullying, hate speech or abuse on our platform as explicitly stated in our Community Guidelines and Terms of Service,” Clubhouse said in a statement.

For the record, Rosa Parks was a pioneer and a hero, she actually did more just by not standing up on a damn bus than Kanye has done in his whole life. And don’t get me started with Martin or Malcolm. Kanye is the lapdog of White racists at this point.

And people keep giving him a platform and then they say, “OOPS! We hate all forms of bullying and racism! You know exactly what you were going to get when you hosted the BS in the first place!”

Crowd Boos Elon Musk At Dave Chappelle’s SF Comedy Show

Twitter owner Elon Musk told an audience full of Dave Chappelle lovers he was rich. However, he didn’t get the big bang he thought he might receive. 

Instead, many let it be known he is not well-liked in these comedy streets.

Some audience members did not hold back when the comedian brought Musk out on stage during a recent performance.

On Sunday, December 11th, Chappelle was performing in San Francisco, CA, at the Chase Center, and Musk was brought out toward the end of the D.C. funnyman’s set.

When he hit the stage, Musk was actually booed.

Chappelle said, “Ladies and gentlemen, make some noise for the richest man in the world.”

Cheers and boos met the $188.7 billion-dollar man when he stepped on stage. Chapelle chided the crowd, saying the boos were coming from people in the bleachers (eh hem the poor people).

“All these people that are booing, I’m just pointing out the obvious — they have terrible seats,” Chappelle said before instructing his friend to answer with his classic line from “The Chappelle Show.”

“His whole business model is f### Earth, I’m leaving anyway,” Chappelle joked. “The first comedy club on Mars, that should be mine. A deal’s a deal, boss.”

That did not change the contentious atmosphere. The former Def Comedy Jam breakout star then told fans to “shut the f##k” up. That didn’t work, either.

Then Chappelle told him to render out one of his staple sayings that have become a part of pop culture, a dismissal of critique because he has money.

The quote comes from the famous episode of the short-lived series called “The Love Contract & True Hollywood Stories: Rick James” from 2004. Donnell Rawlings, another comedian from the Chappelle camp, says, “I’m rich, b####!”

The South African tried, but his attempt fell flat.

Later, Musk took to Twitter and shared it wasn’t as bad as it seemed.

He said, “Technically, it was 90% cheers & 10% boos (except during quiet periods), but, still, that’s a lot of boos, which is a first for me in real life (frequent on Twitter). It’s almost as if I’ve offended SF’s unhinged leftists … but nahhh.”

Elon Musk, a friendly associate of Chapelle, recently acquired Twitter and lifted restrictions on hate speech, ushering in a wave of toxic rhetoric and dangerous hate speech. 

Many have exited the platform in protest of the current hostile environment.
