Dr. Dre Reveals NFL’s “Minor Changes” To Super Bowl Set, “No Problem” With Eminem Taking The Knee

Dr. Dre has opened up about Sunday’s epic Super Bowl Halftime Show featuring Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J. Blige, Kendrick Lamar, and 50 Cent. 

The West Coast legend revealed the NFL’s concerns and confirmed they had no problem with Eminem taking the knee.

“There were a few things that we had to change but it was like really minor things,” Dr. Dre told TMZ on Monday (Feb. 14). “Em taking the knee, that was him doing that on his own and there was no problem with that.” 

TMZ also asked Dr. Dre about Kendrick Lamar’s performance, specifically if the words “We hate the Popo” were removed or censored from “Alright.” However, while he did not address that line, Dre confirmed the NFL requested a change.  

“The beginning of Kendrick’s set,” explained Dr. Dre. “He says if Piru’s and Crips all got along, they had a problem with that, so we had to take that out, no big deal, we get it.”  

The NFL had also addressed the claim they tried to stop Eminem from taking a knee. “We watched all elements of the show during multiple rehearsals this week and were aware that Eminem was going to do that,” league spokesman Brian McCarthy said in a statement. 

Dr. Dre & Mary J. Blige Are Working On New Music  

Dr. Dre also let slip that he and Mary J. Blige went straight back to his home studio following the Super Bowl. “We went downstairs to the studio and she was playing me samples and we were just vibing out,” Dre said.  

Revealing the reason for their session he said, “because we’re talking about working together on her next project.” However, the technology mogul admitted he wasn’t sure if he was supposed to be making the information public. “I’m sorry Mary,” Dr. Dre said, although he did say they had a lot of fun. According to Dr. Dre. He had “a house full of amazing talent” that night, including actor Don Cheadle.

Sha’Carri Richardson Blasts IOC for Doping Double Standard?

Melanin is protective. However, to many, its seen as overwhelmingly threatening. So, why is Sha’Carri Richardson blasting the International Olympic Committee? Moreover, she alleges that they champion a doping double standard!

In fact, Ms. Richardson, receives attention for her forthright nature. Furthermore, yesterday (Feb. 14), via Twitter, the cultural phenom commences a candid conversation. Accordingly, she pots a passionate inquiry.

Next, the D-Town native expresses her angst. She asks, “Can we get a solid answer on the difference of her situation and mines?” Soon, Wheels expounds upon her quest for knowledge. In addition, Sha’Carri shares a meaningful backstory.

The Insult

“My mother died and I can’t run and was also favored to place top 3,” she reminds the Court of Arbitration for Sport. However, the racing Richardson notes “The only difference I see is I’m a black young lady.”

The Injury

Consequently, this revelation follows Russia’s, Kamila Valieva’s, approval to participate in the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics. While this may be true, only mere months ago, the teenager tests positive for TMZ. Of course, the LSU prodigy acknowledges this inconsistency.

“It’s al in the skin,” suggests the culture critic. Besides, TMZ — more aptly trimetazidine — is an illicit heart drug. Accordingly, this substance increases endurance and blood flow efficiency. Although, Valieva’s failed drug test comes from December 25, the world was woefully unaware.

To add insult to injury, Kamila’s secret score may have helped her secure the gold medal in the figure skating team event. Yes, somehow, the skating star was still allowed to compete. Whereas, last Christmas, (Dec. 25), she initially tests positive for TMZ. Most importantly, on this manner, Sha’Carri Richardson calls out B.S.

Immediately, the incredulous athlete lists a litany of inconsistencies. Usually, young individuals — 16 and under — typically are not held responsible for their doping actions. Plus, the prestigious committee concedes expulsion may cause ‘irreparable harm’ to Kamila. Well, aren’t those capes tied rather tightly!

Willie O’Ree And His Little-Known Journey To Break The NHL’s Color Barrier

Almost everybody knows about Jackie Robinson and the historic role he played integrating Major League Baseball. But mention Willie O’Ree – who broke the NHL’s color barrier – and you’ll likely receive a blank look.

That may start to change. On Jan. 19, 2022, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill awarding O’Ree a Congressional Gold Medal. A day earlier, the Boston Bruins retired O’Ree’s number 22 on the 64th anniversary of the night the forward from New Brunswick, Canada became the first Black person to play in a National Hockey League game.

O’Ree had always known he possessed the talent to play in the NHL. A speedy skater with an intuitive feel for the game, he had played organized hockey since he was five years old and had scored 22 goals with 12 assists in his first professional season with Quebec. His big break came when the Bruins invited him to attend training camp before the start of the 1957-58 season. Although he failed to make the final cut, team officials were impressed enough by his overall performance to tell him he needed only “a little more seasoning” to reach the big time.

“They knew what I could do,” O’Ree later recalled in his 2000 memoir, “The Autobiography of Willie O’Ree: Hockey’s Black Pioneer.”

Sure enough, that January, the Boston Bruins were short a roster player and called him up from their minor league club for a road contest against the Montreal Canadiens.

O’Ree could barely control his excitement. “I could see fans pointing, ‘There’s that black kid. He’s up with the Bruins,’” O’Ree wrote.

Despite his nervousness, he did nothing to embarrass himself during a rare 3-0 Boston shutout over their hated archrivals. “O’Ree is not only fast, but he’s a strong skater,” Montreal coach Frank Selke said after the game. “He looks as if he could go all night.”

‘It was the greatest thrill of my life … I’ll always remember this day.’

O’Ree suited up for only one more game as a Bruin that season before returning to the minors. He was hardly crestfallen. “I’m just happy to get a chance up here, that’s about all I can say,” he told The Boston Globe.

O’Ree returned to the Bruins in 1960-61 and notched four goals and 10 assists in 43 games. His first NHL goal – a game-winner against Montreal at the Boston Garden on New Year’s Day, 1961 – proved memorable. On a breakaway, a teammate fed him a perfect pass, which he deposited under the glove hand of Montreal goaltender Charlie Hodge. For his standout effort, O’Ree received a rousing standing ovation from the home crowd that lasted several minutes.

O’Ree wasn’t so well received at other NHL venues. At New York City’s venerable Madison Square Garden, for instance, fans showered him with racial insults before he even stepped onto the ice. In Chicago, he was targeted for abuse for bruising Blackhawks forward Eric “Elbows” Nesterenko. After calling O’Ree the n-word, Nesterenko took the butt-end of his stick and rammed it into O’Ree’s unsuspecting face. A broken nose and two missing front teeth later, O’Ree had had enough. He took his stick and smashed Nesterenko over the head with it. O’Ree’s teammates came rushing to his aid as both teams’ benches emptied. What followed was a classic hockey donnybrook that ended with O’Ree being sent to the Bruins locker room for medical treatment.

“Every time I went on the ice I was faced with racial slurs because of my color,” O’Ree admitted to the Anti-Defamation League Youth Congress gathering held in Boston in 2016. “I had black cats thrown on the ice and [people] told me to [go] back to the cotton fields and pick cotton.” O’Ree claimed he didn’t mind. “I didn’t let it hurt me,” he said. “I let it go in one ear and out the other.”

O’Ree’s dream of hockey glory was almost cut tragically short. While playing in a junior league game in Guelph, Ontario, as a 20-year-old, he lost sight in most of his right eye after a deflected slap shot struck his face. Ignoring his doctor’s advice to hang up his skates, O’Ree continued to play despite being at an obvious competitive disadvantage.

“I was a left shot, and I was playing left wing, but I had no right eye,” O’Ree explained. He didn’t want others to know of his handicap, lest it scare teams away from employing him. “It was my secret,” he said.

The Bruins traded O’Ree to the Canadiens before the start of the 1961-62 season. O’Ree was personally devastated. Montreal was an elite team coming off a string of Stanley Cup championships and had no room for O’Ree on their roster. As a result, O’Ree spent the remainder of his career playing on a series of minor league clubs, including the Los Angeles Blades of the Western Hockey League. He was a major standout for Los Angeles, scoring a career-high 38 goals in 1964-65. But the NHL never gave him a second look.

O’Ree did, however, serve as an inspiration to future NHL players of color like Jarome Iginla and Mike Grier.

“I’m in awe knowing what he went through,” Iginla told USA Today in 2008. “There is a lot of trash-talking going on [in the game], and I can’t imagine what he must have gone through.”

For his part, O’Ree has voiced few regrets. He did, after all, defy the odds. And he’ll forever be known as the “Jackie Robinson of hockey.”

This is an updated version of an article first published on Jan. 17, 2018. The spelling of Mike Grier’s name has been corrected, along with the name of the medal being awarded to O’Ree.

Kim Kardashian Is Worried Kanye Is Going To Get Pete Davidson Hurt

Kanye West has “faith” he will get back together with his estranged wife, Kim Kardashian.

Following the news that Kanye has split from “Uncut Gems” actress Julia Fox after a brief relationship, Kanye took to Instagram to share a photo published on MailOnline showing Kim leaving a restaurant in Brooklyn with her new boyfriend, Pete Davidson on Sunday.

“I DON’T HAVE BEEF WITH KIM I LOVE MY FAMILY SO STOP THAT NARRATIVE IM NOT GIVING UP ON MY FAMILY,” he began, before referring to the silver coat the reality TV star is wearing in the photo. “I BOUGHT THIS COAT FOR KIM BEFORE SNL I THOUGHT IT WAS PARTICULARLY SPECIAL I HAVE FAITH THAT WE’LL BE BACK TOGETHER I NEVER HAD ANYTHING AGAINST DAILYMAIL I GOT LOVE FOR EVERYONE IN THE MEDIA AND I WISH YOU ALL THE HAPPINESS IN THE WORLD I SPEAK DIRECTLY TO THE MEDIA OUTLETS THE SAME WAY A BALL PLAYER SPEAKS TO THE REFS THE WORLD IS OUR COURT LIKE A BASKETBALL COURT AND THE COURT OF PUBLIC OPINION (sic).”

Kanye, who now goes by the name Ye, went on to assert that he will continue sharing details of his personal life on social media because he has accepted that he is a “public figure.”

“WE HAVE A PUBLIC RELATIONSHIP BECAUSE WE ARE PUBLIC FIGURES SO TO THE PUBLIC AND TO THE PRESS SOMETIMES PEOPLE CALL ME CRAZY BUT TO BE IN LOVE IS TO BE CRAZY ABOUT SOMETHING AND I AM CRAZY ABOUT MY FAMILY HAPPY VALENTINES,” the 44-year-old added.

Kim, 41, filed for divorce from Kanye in February 2021, with it reported that the couple had agreed to joint custody of their four children as part of the proceedings.

The “Keeping Up With The Kardashians” star apparently sent texts to Kanye, which he shared with his 13 million followers. 

In one post, Kim told Kanye he was creating a dangerous situation for Pete after the *Donda* rapper encouraged his fans to harass “Skete” when they saw him. 

“U are creating a dangerous and scary environment, and someone will hurt Pete and this will be all your fault,” Kim Kardashian allegedly texted Ye. 

“UPON MY WIFE’S REQUEST PLEASE NOBODY DO ANYTHING PHYSICAL TO SKETE IM GOING TO HANDLE THE SITUATION MYSELF,” Kanye said, still referring to Kim as if they are still together.

Regardless of his inclination, within himself the Midwest musician is confident. Perhaps, this relentless tenacity has been building. Of course, via Alamo Records, the Chicago rhymer was formerly signed to Gucci Mane’s imprint, 1017 Eskimos.

Provided that, W.E. may be motivated by Gucci’s self-assuredness. In fact, the Chicago spitter flings open the closet door and is embracing his truth. Moreover, the accompanying caption reads, “I’m Bisexual I Like Guys & Girls 😌💕 It’s W.E 😛[.]”

https://www.instagram.com/p/CZ7xin3PHA8/

In addition, to the sultry stare, the Wopster is standing on his words. Thus, the emerging artist engages Twitter. While there, he works his stance. Also, the revealing picture displays even more of his supple thigh meat.

Moreover, that works in conjunction with his exposed and athletic tummy. Actually, it seems to beckon some sort of advertisement. Be that as it may, social media is voicing its opinion on Famous Dex’s cousin. Overall, most of the reactions are encouraging.

Above all, Lil Wop has the presence of mind to merge his art with his authentic self. For that, he is winning.

Drake Pays Tribute To Odell Beckham Jr. With A Verse For Super Bowl Win

Drake penned a special verse for his friend Odell Beckham Jr.

The 35-year-old rapper shared some lyrics about Beckham after the Los Angeles Rams won the Super Bowl on Sunday (February 13). Drake shared his written tribute along with photos of himself with the wide receiver.

“I wish I got my flowers when everything wasn’t rosey/How I’m supposed to smell em when everyone’s being nosy/Pictures of me victorious they making with Adobe make me thankful that a trophy was never what made me cozy/For now I just want to feel something/After that I wanna heal something/And after that I wanna build something/But today I just fulfilled something @obj,” Drake wrote.

https://www.instagram.com/p/CZ8idODLhpr/

Beckham and the Rams helped Drake win a few wagers on the Super Bowl. The OVO co-founder bet $600,000 on a Rams victory. He also bet $500,000 on Beckham scoring a touchdown in the big game, which the former LSU standout accomplished in the first quarter of Sunday night’s contest.

“FOREVER BROTHER!!” Beckham commented on Drake’s post. “Lol I was gon get u ur money brother. Cherish this forever.”

Drake didn’t have a perfect night though as he bet $500,000 on Beckham having more than 62.5 receiving yards in the game. That wager didn’t pay off since the NFL veteran finished with 52 yards after suffering an injury in the second quarter.

According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Beckham is believed to have a torn ACL. He’s a free agent heading into the offseason.

Kim Kardashian Excited To Move On In Fashion World Without Kanye West

Kim Kardashian is excited to be exploring looks for her next “fashion era.”

The reality TV star and her estranged husband Kanye West worked closely over the past decade to establish Kim as one to watch in the style scene, with the rapper famously overhauling her closet and introducing her to many top designers.

In an interview for the March 2022 issue of Vogue magazine, Kim Kardasian divulged that she is looking forward to seeing how her wardrobe will evolve following her split from Kanye, whom she filed to divorce in February 2021.

“I always think, ‘What will be next?’ Because I always had Kanye, who knew exactly what the next fashion era would be for me. And there’s something scary about being out there on your own, but also something so liberating,” she commented. “Who knows? I might just be in Skims and be so comfy and casual and wear no make-up, and that might be what I feel like representing to the world. Maybe it’s just not that serious.”

And even though Kim was recently unveiled as the face of a new Balenciaga campaign, the star explained that one of her favourite photoshoots of late was Skims’ 2021 Valentine’s Day campaign, which also starred her young sisters, Kendall and Kylie Jenner.

“Probably my proudest moment in terms of my body recently was when I was on a billboard covering the whole side of a building with Kendall and Kylie, who are half my age, when we did a Skims underwear campaign together, and I could stand next to them and feel confident,” the 41-year-old recalled.

As for Kanye, he has yet to move on. He has been asking for God’s help in reestablishing his relationship with Kim Kardashian, while at the same time attacking her new boyfriend. Pete Davidson.

Big Bank Drake Bet $1.2M On The 2022 Super Bowl And Took Home Over A Quarter Mil In Profits

Rapper Drake knows how to make money, even when just playing around.

Reports say he bet on  Super Bowl LVI and made more than a quarter of a million gambling on the game.

According to the Daily Mail, the “Certified Lover Boy” bet about $1.25 million in bitcoin, a form of crypto-currency, in a total of three different bets. He won two of them and lost one after the Los Angeles Rams beat the Cincinnati Bengals 23-20.

He talked about the bets on IG, saying, “All bets are in on the family.”

https://www.instagram.com/p/CZ0eY4fOFre/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

These were his three possibilities: the Rams win, Odell Beckham Jr., to score a touchdown at some point in the game, and Beckham Jr. to record over 62.5 receiving yards. Because Beckham got injured, he could not win the prop bet (over/under).

Drake earned about $710,000 in bitcoin because his team won.

Because Beckham scored a 17-yard touchdown catch in the first quarter, Champagne Papi won another $840,000 – meaning he made a total profit of around $300,000 in bitcoin. 

He had all of the bitcoin money he won converted from Canadian currency. This is all child’s play for the rapper. 

Consider that he paid battle rappers $100,000 to battle on his birthday as per several of their demands. 

As reported by AllHipHop.com, Drake hosted with the Ultimate Rap League a card called “Til Death Do Us Part” and paid the 12 rappers purses no lower than $50,000 and topped just cracking six figures.

“‘TEARFULLY’@dailymail y’all are straight trash I haven’t cried since 1997 and I especially wouldn’t cry over THIS!!” she wrote in the caption. “If anything, I’ve been laughing more than before and if I look like s**t it’s cuz I got out at terminal 1 and ran on foot to terminal 7 cuz I was (f**king) late for a plane to go see the only men that matter which is my son and my dad (sic).”

“Crying where @dailymail,” she asked. However, she has wiped Ye off her Instagram by deleting all of their pictures together.

Suge Knight’s Lawyer Might Be Sharing A Cell Next To Him

Matthew Fletcher, the former attorney for Death Row Records founder Suge Knight, might be bunking with his client if a jury finds him guilty of conspiring to bribe witnesses to lie for the gangsta rap mogul. 

If Fletcher is found guilty, the lawyer could face up to four years in prison.

According to the Los Angeles Times, Matthew Fletcher is a defendant in a criminal case, representing himself.

In his closing arguments, Deputy District Attorney Stefan Mrakich compared Fletcher to Saul Goodman, the morally rudderless attorney on “Breaking Bad” and “Better Call Saul.”

He might have a reason to have done so.

Before Knight signed a plea deal in his 2018 murder case and was sent to prison for 28 years, Fletcher and his co-defense, Thaddeus Culpepper, were indicted on charges connected to witness tampering. 

The lawyer was also charged with “a count of perjury arising from a hearing connected to an unrelated allegation of misconduct brought in 2016 by the State Bar of California,” the LA Times reports.

It is alleged that Fletcher and Culpepper said that they would be willing to pay witnesses to say that they saw a group of men approach Knight at the burger stand in 2015 during a deadly encounter during a taping for an advertisement for the movie “Straight Outta Compton.”

The story would claim that a posse of thugs stood armed with guns in order an effort to support the claim that had been plotting to assassinate the former Death Row Records CEO. 

The lie was meant to substantiate why Suge ran over and killed Terry Carter and seriously injured Cle “Bone” Sloan in January 2015. 

Law enforcement has tapes that caught Fletcher speaking to Suge and a Sheriff’s Department informant.

Fletcher blabbed to the informant on a tape played before the court, “If these m############ got a price, well let’s get that m############ price paid. I told Suge…man, you can always make some more money. You can’t make any more freedom though.”

Fletcher told Suge that $25,000 was a “fair investment” to pay someone to lie on another recording.

A transcript of the call to Suge from Fletcher was read in court during the trial. “If this cat’s ready to come forward and say, ‘Look man we had guns’… I don’t care why he says it … And if somewhere down the road they say, ‘Oh, they gave us $50 racks,’ say, ‘OK, well prove that s###.'”

The prosecution noted that they do not have enough evidence that Fletcher went through with the scheme and offered anyone money.

Fletcher maintains that any conversation about paying witnesses was about paying for videos or other recordings of the confrontation at the burger stand. In Suge’s case, he mentioned that these videos exist, but no one has seen them yet.

The jury is now in deliberation, and the world is waiting to see if he will be convicted for possibly attempting to bribe people to lie for Suge Knight. 

Death Row, the label that allowed Suge to get so powerful, is now under new ownership after being purchased by Snoop Dogg.

Meet the King of Hiphops New Style: Stacked Skinny Jeans

Alan King has set the music community on fire with his fashion line, AKINGS, with artists flocking to buy his stacked jeans like no other brand. King’s designs have been seen on iconic musicians such as Lil Baby, Steve Aoki, Tyga, and Trippie Redd just to name a few. Alan King credits the success to his limited edition marketing approach with some items being exclusive to the AKINGS’ official site.

The iconic stacked jeans silhouette features a J-Shaped Curve cut which King explains allows for the material to stack evenly from the knee down as well as hug the leg perfectly.  Made viral through his various social media postings on Instagram and Tiktok, King reaches millions of views from just holding his J-shaped jeans up for videos and explaining its purpose. Most recently, they’ve gotten compliments from Grammy nominee Offset of the Migos on the new HBOmax fashion show “The Hype”. On many of his skinny stacked jeans, you can see custom hand-dyed wash colors as well as attention to detail to function with pockets and straps through different styles. 

The J-shape form-fit is something truly unique and one of a kind. “When I first made this cut I was a senior in high school and not knowing it then I essentially created history. A cut that allows for people of all different heights to wear the same jean style while achieving the stacked jean style” King said in a statement. “I love that I actually sort of made this cut to troll my mentor at the time because I could not sketch a pant properly without curving the lines.”

What started as a trend, the stacked jean style has quickly become something for both men and women with King redefining the boundaries, showcasing how universal his sizing is through different tiktok videos. King’s own line is a reflection of a promising outlook on the future of streetwear, showing well-tailored pieces with a futuristic punk rock flair.

Rihanna Explains How Change Of “Habits” Ultimately Revealed Pregnancy

Rihanna struggled to keep her pregnancy a secret from her “posse.”

The “Umbrella” hitmaker and her boyfriend A$AP Rocky hit headlines at the end of January when they announced they were expecting their first child by posing for paparazzi in New York.

Attending her first red carpet event since the announcement, Rihanna admitted to E! News that she found it hard to keep her pregnancy under wraps, especially around her close friends.

“It was harder for me to keep it from my posse because they’re around me, they know my habits,” Rihanna said. “They’re like, ‘You don’t want something to drink? You’re not smoking?’ And I’m eating all the things I’m not used to eating. They know I hate sweets and I’m all of a sudden asking for cookies and donuts. But finally, I just had to let it all out, and they were all shocked, of course, as the world was shocked as well.”

The 33-year-old added that she is excited to be able to celebrate with everyone now the news is out in the open, noting that she didn’t want to get her hopes up too soon into the pregnancy.

“When I first found out, it’s not real, you know? I was like, ‘This is not for real, right?'” she shared. “And then, it was and it’s almost like you don’t want to get too excited too soon because it’s great news, but you… want to see that it’s going to see its way through. And I’m so glad that we’re this far along and now I can celebrate with everyone.”

Eminem showed his support for sports star Colin Kaepernick by taking the knee during the Super Bowl Halftime Show on Sunday.

The “Without Me” rapper headlined the show with his collaborator Dr. Dre as well as Snoop Dogg, Kendrick Lamar, and Mary J. Blige at the SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles.

After he performed “Lose Yourself” towards the end of the set, he made a statement by kneeling and holding his head in his hand.

He stayed there for a full minute while Dre played an instrumental on the piano.

Quarterback Kaepernick first took the knee to protest police brutality during the 2016 season, a controversial move that has spread throughout sports.

He has not played in the National Football League (NFL) since the end of that season and it is widely believed he was blacklisted by the league over his protest.

In a statement, a representative for the NFL insisted they were aware of Eminem’s plan as he did it in rehearsals.

“We watched all elements of the show during multiple rehearsals this week and were aware that Eminem was going to do that,” the rep said. “This was not an area of concern. A player or coach could have taken a knee today and there would not have been an issue.”

The headliners were joined by surprise guests 50 Cent, who performed his track “In Da Club,” and Anderson .Paak on drums.

The set opened with Dre and Snoop’s 2000 hit The Next Episode before Dre performed his verse from Tupac Shakur’s track “California Love.”

Blige sang her big hits, “Family Affair” and “No More Drama,” before Lamar came out and rapped “M.A.A.D City” and “Alright.”

After Eminem gave a rendition of “Lose Yourself,” the five headliners plus 50 Cent gathered for the finale – a performance of “Still D.R.E.”

The Los Angeles Rams defeated the Cincinnati Bengals to take home the Super Bowl trophy.

While Eminem’s commitment to social justice was lauded by most people, members of the right expressed outrage at him making a political statement, as well as the skin shown on the big stage.

Kim Kardashian And Pete Davidson Go On Pre-Valentine Date Making Kanye Big Mad

Billionaire fashion icon Kim Kardashian and her boyfriend Pete Davidson celebrated Valentine’s Day a little early. 

The new Hollywood “it” couple were seen locked hand-in-hand in Brooklyn, while KK’s soon-to-be ex-husband Kanye West had his head buried in his phone, accessing his social media accounts.

According to TMZ, Kim was not letting that ruin her night.

She and her “Saturday Night Live” boo, Pete Davidson, were smiling and looking super smitten on Saturday, February 12th, as the paparazzi snapped them entering Lilia, a high-end Italian restaurant in Kings County.

A private tent was reserved for Kim and Pete to feast and love-lust. When they were finished, the couple hopped in an SUV and sped off.

Dressed in denim blue, a plaid button-up and a casual brown jacket, Davidson’s easy cool was a stark difference from what Kardashian-West has been used to with her luxury-heavy and fashion-forward pushing spouse. 

On the other hand, she rocked a monochromatic blue-silver look.

While this couple seemed at peace, Ye, despite having a successful launch of the “Jeen-Yuhs” documentary about his life on Netflix, has been warring on Instagram. 

All weekend and during the Super Bowl,Ye posted so much that the multi-hyphenate trended over #SuperBowl.

He wrote, “DIDNT WAKE UP AND FIGHT FOR MY FAMILY TO TREND OVER THE SUPER BOWL BUT IT HAPPENED THE SUPER BOWL BRINGS FAMILIES TOGETHER FOR EVERYONE MARRIED HOLD YOUR SPOUSE CLOSE MAKE SURE THEY KNOW HOW MUCH YOU LOVE AND APPRECIATE THEM BECAUSE THERES A SKETE LURKING IN EVERY DIRTY ASS ALLEY WAITING TO HELP DESTROY YOUR FAMILY AND WALK AROUND IN CALVIN KLEINS AROUND YOUR CHILDREN I WISH MY WIFE WAS WITH ME AND OUR CHILDREN SITTING AT THE 50 YARD LINE @kimkardashian ALWAYS REMEMBER WEST WAS YOUR BIGGEST W.”

Some people believed that “Skete” was a coded word for Pete. He also encouraged people to verbally assault PD when they see him.

“THANK YOU GUYS FOR YOUR SUPPORT OF MY FAMILY MY FAMILY MEANS MORE TO ME THAN ANY OTHER ACCOMPLISHMENT IN LIFE IF ANYONE LOVES ME AND MY FAMILY IF YOU SEE SKETE IN REAL LIFE SCREAM AT YHE LOOSER AT THE TOP OF YOUR LUNGS AND SAY KIMYE FOREVER”

The producer-turned-rapper, who once rapped through a wired jaw, explained that the previous post was not about any conflict with Kim.

“I DON’T HAVE BEEF WITH KIM I LOVE MY FAMILY SO STOP THAT NARRATIVE IM NOT GIVING UP ON MY FAMILY I BOUGHT THIS COAT FOR KIM BEFORE SNL I THOUGHT IT WAS PARTICULARLY SPECIAL I HAVE FAITH THAT WE’LL BE BACK TOGETHER I NEVER HAD ANYTHING AGAINST DAILYMAIL I GOT LOVE FOR EVERYONE IN THE MEDIA AND I WISH YOU ALL THE HAPPINESS IN THE WORLD I SPEAK DIRECTLY TO THE MEDIA OUTLETS THE SAME WAY A BALL PLAYER SPEAKS TO THE REFS THE WORLD IS OUR COURT LIKE A BASKETBALL COURT AND THE COURT OF PUBLIC OPINION WE HAVE A PUBLIC RELATIONSHIP BECAUSE WE ARE PUBLIC FIGURES SO TO THE PUBLIC AND TO THE PRESS SOMETIMES PEOPLE CALL ME CRAZY BUT TO BE IN LOVE IS TO BE CRAZY ABOUT SOMETHING AND I AM CRAZY ABOUT MY FAMILY HAPPY VALENTINES,” he wrote.

Why Does Method Man Check A Photoshop Fronting Stan?

From his depth of creativity and his relentless drive, Method Man is earning longevity. So, with any sort of acclaim, it is often accompanied by negativity. Thus, Mr. Mef is no stranger to unwarranted hostility. Recently, on Friday (Feb. 11), Iron Lung takes the time to check a photoshop ‘fronting stan.

Above all, the legendary lyricist usually focuses on love and light. However, when the Twitter troll decides test his photoshop skills, Johnny Dangerous definitely responds. Moreover, in a caption of a manipulated picture, the social media clown commences a conversation.

There, a dunce-like performance transpires. So, the Twitter user poses the question, “Method Man shaved his beard off. Y’all ladies still choosing?” Somehow, the magic Twitter fingers, are able to conjure a clearly photoshopped version of The Panty Raider.

However, this inquiry certainly conjures a comment from Hott Nikkles himself. Furthermore, in true Davis MacLean fashion, he appeals to the Twitter user’s better judgment. “This is suckashit…us still hv time to delete it…Love and [light] my brother,” warns the curt comment.

Most importantly, the “All I Need” MC remains unbothered. Of course, soon better judgment prevails. Then, the disrespectful tweet somehow disappears. So, that is it and that is all.
