50 Cent Continues To Slander Young Buck With Transgender Talk

First of all, can we salute Mister Cee for keeping it a buck?

Now, keeping it more of a “buck,” some of these other rappers are out here loving on these trans people. Young Buck says he is not one of those people even though the rumors are strong. He steadfastly claims he was trolled, extorted or tricked. And suddenly, there was a twist!

The twist was that 50 Cent and he faked their beef. Now, their beef – I don’t know where it started – was not staged.

But said the following:

“We playing that sh#t. We ain’t got no motherf#cking beef. You understand me? That’s what you motherf#ckers get ’cause you motherf#ckers are always chasing this beef sh*t, and then we done played y’all motherf##king ass.”

“Whole time, bro. Whole time, y’all thinking whatever the f##k y’all thinking. So really, we win. ‘Cause we made all you motherf###ers think that it’s beef and we don’t like each other. I just got off the phone with the n###a. We just shot a video yesterday. About to drop it and give it to the world. I just want y’all to understand one thing, man. That’s what you motherf#ckers get, man. This social media sh#t got you people f#cked up. Y’all got played this time.”

Buck alleges that 50 was the mastermind behind the entire thing. “We sat down and master-planned this sh#t out. 50 was like, ‘I’ma say all kinds of sh*t about you, n###a. I’ma make them f###ing hate you. Then you gone make them love you again,’” said Buck. “I just followed the n###a plan and then, all of a sudden, I guess the n###a was right because they love me again. And I did it… I made them love me again.”

I didn’t even write about it, because it seemed a bit silly.

Well, it did not take long for 50 Cent to reply. Dude literally fired back out of nowhere! Does 50 Cent ever let something slide? Nope. He brought up the transgender conversation all over again.

50 Cent said, “SMH, he only makes a fool of himself and the transgender man he was dating for a year gets angry every time he says he got cat fished stop lying Damn!”

Who do you believe? I have a hard time believing anybody is gonna just “play along” with seeing a trans person. You could “play” with getting shot or going to the hospital. You could play with getting beat up or going broke. But a straight male going along with a lie that says he rocks with transwomen? Then spend years defending the allegations, only to conclude it was staged?

50 Cent Trashes Young Buck Again For Claiming Their Feud Was Staged

Young Buck had to see this one coming. 

50 Cent has come forward to bash the Nashville, Tennessee rap star who claimed their beef was completely made up. 

Last week, Young Buck declared he and 50 Cent had played everyone’s “d########,” for feeding into the narrative that they were feuding.

“Y’all got played this time. We sat down and master-planned this s### out,” Young Buck claimed. “50 was like I am finna say all kind of s### about you…we made all you m############ think that it’s beef and we don’t like each other. I just got off the phone with the n####. We just shot a video yesterday. About to drop it and give it to the world.”

However, in a deleted post, 50 Cent made it clear there’s nothing phony about their feud, which started over an unpaid debt, and quickly escalated after 50 Cent repeatedly attack Young Buck, claiming he was into transgendered women.

“SMH, he only makes a fool of himself and the transgender man he was dating for a year gets angry every time he says he got catfished stop lying Damn!”

50 Cent’s feud with Young Buck has mostly consisted of social media insults, although Young Buck filed for bankruptcy again in May of 2020.

According to the documents, Young Buck was attempting to get out of his contract with G-Unit.

Master P Reveals The Worst Investment He Has Ever Made

Rap mogul Master P is the definition of a serial entrepreneur.

P has had success in numerous endeavors in and outside of the music business. His No Limit Records empire sold well over 75 million records and released hits from some of the best-known rappers including Snoop and Mystikal while re-writing the rules of the music business.

Master P also found success over the years with brands like No Limit Films, his Moneyatti Streetwear line, and even in the grocery stores with brands like Rap Snacks and Uncle P’s Rice. 

So it’s pretty safe to say, Master P, who said to be worth over $200 million, knows how to invest his money. But there is one investment Master P remains ashamed of to this day, and it was an egregious display of his wealth. 

During an episode of MTV’s “Cribs” Master P showed off his luxurious mansion built for a king – complete with gold ceilings.

“Putting gold ceilings in my house, that wasn’t the smartest thing that I’ve ever done,” Master P told Men’s Health Magazine. “That’s a bad investment cuz when you move, you’ll never get the money out of that house.”

Master P sold the house a long time ago, presumably at a loss.

Last year, Master P unloaded his mansion in Hollywood to head for Minnesota, where his son’s Hercy and Mercy Miller are earning their way to the NBA as standout basketball players for Minnehaha Academy in Minneapolis.

Joe Budden Shocked By Rory & Mal’s Disappearance From Podcast

Joe Budden has finally broken his silence over growing speculation his co-hosts of “The Joe Budden Podcast” are on a “strike.”

Fans are speculating that the show’s co-hosts Rory Farrell and Jamil “Mal” Clay are locked in a financial dispute with Joe.

The pair have been missing for the last two episodes of the bi-weekly podcast, which has quickly become one of the most listened to shows on multiple platforms, from Spotify to SoundCloud, where current episodes of the show can be found. 

During the 425th episode of the show called “Tea Leaves,” Joe Budden addressed the growing chatter that there was a rift between himself and his co-hosts. Speaking to Ice and Savon, who filled in for Rory and Mal this week, Joe Budden said:

“Everywhere I went my phone was ringing, people asking me questions about the pod, so I did with any normal respectable human being would do and went home and I locked myself in my closet. As to avoid having to answer some of these things,” Joe Budden said to laughter.

“I’ll eliminate some of the suspense…Rory and Mal are not here but this is Rory’s seat This is not Ice’s seat. And that is Mal’s seat and whenever they feel like returning to their seats then they’ll return to their seats,” Joe Budden said without revealing the nature of the dispute.

“I’m transparent talking here…I would have never envisioned anything like this happening… ‘Oh my God… What? Rory and Mal are not here?'” 

Joe Budden was quick to deny reports that a financial dispute was behind the split, and he even said there was no “beef,” leaving fans to speculate just what could be causing the problems with Rory and Mal, who have been with “The Joe Budden Podcast” for over 5 years.

“What they have communicated to me is something is wrong. Whether that being our friendship how we’re speaking to each other, the respect level.”

Rory’s last tweet May hold the key to the issues between the trio: 

In February, Joe Budden revealed he was growing his audience through a new deal with Patreon, where he moved the exclusive content of The Joe Budden Network to the membership platform. 

Budden was also named Patreon’s Head Of Creator Equity.

“I’ve seen firsthand that exploitation is everywhere in this industry – it’s become the status quo, and I’m tired of it. I’m tired of constantly fighting for independence and I’m tired of proving my value over and over again,” Joe Budden said when the deal was announced.

Benny The Butcher Is Looking To Go To The Next Level!

I don’t think Benny The Butcher is playing any games! Benny, known for his gutter cocaine-laced street raps is now taking a different approach! We are used to hearing him on Alchemist or Daringer beats, but that is not what he’s doing right now. We saw him do an album with Hitboy, and now he’s with Hitmaka, formally known as Yung Berg, has had a whole rebrand.

You remember when Detroit took his Transformer chain and it went around the whole city?

And when you talk about re-brand, Benny The Butcher is one that has come along way. I remember when he was in an overall with blood on it in a butcher shop. Those days are long gone. He is now a certified star in the world of Hip-Hop. AND Hitmaka is one of the top producers! So what does a star do, he does bigger, better moves. I think he is looking at Jay-Z, Nas and other rappers that came from the mud and saw how they made an obvious pivot to get on that larger scale. Griselda it’s still a relative underground movement even though their accolades are far and wide. Their influence, is also extremely wide-reaching. However, that does not mean that they don’t wanna grow it even more. As I “the Butcher coming,” it seems like he’s stepping a bit away from the Griselda Records movement, and into his own brand and space.

Benny The Butcher Talks Having Unreleased Tracks With Nas & Drake

I recently watched a mini documentary on him and Griselda was barely mentioned. It did not seem like there was any beef, but it was noticeable. By the way, remember when we thought they had beef, particularly Benny and Conway? Well, I am being told that that situation has resolved itself and it was nothing serious at all. They believe each other to be brothers. The documentary I saw though did in fact give insight on Benny’s relationship with the team and that he’s Griselda’s artist, but not a relative or anything like that. I thought he was a cousin to them, but he isn’t. Anyway, moving along Benny just released Plugs I Met II, and I still have to check it out but this is a hard pivot from the street grime that he is known for. Do you think that this is going to work out for him or do you think that he is going to lose some of his base?

Its Looking Even Worse For Casanova! The Streets Are Whispering…

It is not looking good for Casanova. This we know.

I know it may seem like it looks dismal, but that’s because it IS dismal. No knock against Casanova, but it just doesn’t look good on any level whatsoever. So, the Internet reporters are at it again, but this time they interviewed a lawyer who is extremely familiar with the case and other cases like it. The lawyer is also very familiar with general law and Casanova specifically. That said here, he is saying that the feds have been looking at Casanova and the crew that he is affiliated with for roughly 3 years. They have been building a case for three whole years! So this means that they have amassed a gang of text messages, phone calls, surveillance, social media, interviews and other stuff that can help them keep that 95% conviction rate nice and intact.

Reality is, Casanova might not even be guilty, but in the world of Hip-Hop and theater, it doesn’t matter to the law. So if he pretends to be something or projects to be something and, they see you around the actual thing, they are going to say you are the actual thing too. And that seems to be what the case is here, but I think that they are going to have a lot more to substantiate their case than just an interview with Nick Cannon. I think they are going to have quite a bit more, but it still doesn’t help anything to be in the same space as these guys that are charged with numerous RICO in fractions. (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations aka the RICO) Law)

I just don’t know what to think, but the streets do. The streets seem to suggest that Casanova may just go the same route as Tekashi69. I don’t know if this is the cloth that Casanova is cut from, because I’ve seen everything that you have seen. Dude looks like a beast in the streets and a man accordingly. Like he’s protected ASAP Rocky in the bing! However, the social media looks different. Again, not judging the man because I would be weaker in that situation. No cap! But, he’s not me.

That said, doing a “Tekashi69” would mean snitching. Now, snitching snitching is one thing, but snitching from a real G is another story. Tekashi69 was never a real G, and that’s why a lot of people are confused and give him a pass. He should not get. pass, but he gets many. Casanova is not Tekashi69. And some of the street guys that I’ve been listening to, say that everything about Casanova‘s demeanor suggest that he may snitch. Take for example, the fact that he is requesting people to come visit him in jail. I didn’t think anything of that. But these other guys, that know better, say that that is almost an invitation to be wrapped up in the mess Casanova is presently in. ESPECIALLY if you are a hood dude. He wasn’t angrily yelling at his mother or father to come see him or send money. If you go to visit him, as a street dude, you would immediately be on the radar of the feds or someone else that would tip them off. Also, all of those recordings in jail become admissible in court. You have no idea what Casanova may say that could potentially implicate you in a crime. Again, not to say that Casanova would do that but just to say that nobody knows. I don’t know what you know, but set ups happen every day, B!

Now I invite you to listen to this lawyer talk about the case!

Give me your opinion in the comment section.

SB SurfsUp- “Mode” Video

Having vision can take you to new heights. Those new heights pan out your future in the brightest light possible. Joshua Farmer, notably known as SB Surfsup is a rapper hailing from Memphis Tennessee.

No stranger to the music industry, SB has been making music and igniting movements in his city over the past ten years. His distinct sound and focus on his undeniable talent allowed him to reach those heights and walk in the brightest of lights.

With breakout record “Be Her Man”, SB (at the time known as Skool Boy), made his mark as one of the hottest artists coming out of the South.

Growing up, SB did not have any direct musical influences in his family or circle. As the street life called, SB sought interest elsewhere.

Raised in the “Juke Joints”, SB took a liking to superstars such as Bobby Brown and Michael Jackson. These music influences curated a blend of melody, harmony, soul, and trap, and these sounds spearheaded the road to the next biggest act.

Previously, SB hosted a ton of parties, led a street promotion team, built relationships with both radio and labels and began to release his music. At the time, earning a spot in the industry did not happen overnight or by way of popularity on social sites. His hustle, unique sound, and familiar face made him one of the biggest artists in his city which placed his hometown on the map.

 After securing a hit record with Yung Joc and Don Trip, “Go Girl”, the record labels began knocking at his door.

Signing to Asylum/Warner label, mainstream was the next route for the star. Today, he has left Asylum and is now signed to Drought King Music.

He has gone on to release two albums, three singles and has given Spotify a run for their money with successful streams.

A man of many talents, SB is taking his career to the next level. Soul trap has taken on a new meaning, and SB is here to pave that lane as one of the next biggest acts to watch.

Romeo Miller Defends Justin Bieber Using MLK Sound Bite On ‘Justice’ Album

International Pop star Justin Bieber faced some backlash over his decision to use Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s voice for the intro track of his recently released Justice album. “2 Much” opens with MLK saying, “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”

Some listeners did not understand how King’s words related to Bieber’s “2 Much” which is a love song that does not address social justice or racial inequality. On the day before Justice dropped, the 27-year-old Canadian did tag several organizations, including the King Center for Nonviolent Social Change, in a tweet about his Justice in Action campaign.

Bernice King, the daughter of MLK and King Center CEO, retweeted Bieber’s tweet about Justice in Action. She also thanked the singer for his support in publicizing the King Center’s ongoing participation in the global movement for justice.

Bieber’s pre-emptive actions and Bernice King’s co-sign did not quell the negative reactions to Dr. King’s famous quote appearing on Justice. However, one fellow former child star also backed up Bieber. Romeo Miller spoke about the controversy on Fox Soul’s The Mix talk show.

“Why are we really mad? You’re damned if you do, you’re damned if you don’t. And that’s what this generation… One thing I said at an early age when I started my career, I said, ‘Pops, I want my career to represent hope. I want people to look at me and know anything is possible,” said the son of Hip Hop legend Percy “Master P” Miller.

Romeo continued, “I think what Justin’s doing is like he’s just trying to give back and shine that light on something. People are saying, ‘Well, he has a whole R&B album about love songs. What does that have to do about Martin Luther King Jr.?’ He’s trying to actually [do] what everybody tells us to do: use your platform for something good. It’s that simple.”

Justin Bieber’s Justice was released on March 19, 2021. The 16-track standard edition includes guest features by Khalid, Chance The Rapper, The Kid Laroi, Dominic Fike, Daniel Caesar, Giveon, Beam, Burna Boy, and Benny Blanco. Justice is projected to debut at #1 on the next Billboard 200 album chart.

Nas’ ‘Illmatic’ Gets Inducted Into The Library Of Congress National Recording Registry

The legendary Nasir “Nas” Jones is undeniably one of the greatest recording artists of all time. While the Queens-bred emcee is regularly praised in Hip Hop circles, he is finally starting to get his flowers from the wider music world.

On March 14, Nas won the first Grammy Award of his career at the 63rd annual ceremony when the Recording Academy named King’s Disease as Best Rap Album. Plus, his first studio LP is being labeled an “audio treasure” worthy of preservation by the United States Library of Congress.

1994’s Illmatic is one of the twenty-five recordings inducted into the National Recording Registry of the Library of Congress for 2020. Nas’s groundbreaking opus and the other inductees were deemed worthy of preservation for all time based on its cultural, historical, or aesthetic importance in American history.

Illmatic will now live in the LOC alongside other Hip Hop classics like Run-D.M.C.’s Raising Hell, N.W.A’s Straight Outta Compton, De La Soul’s 3 Feet High and Rising, Public Enemy’s Fear of a Black Planet, Dr. Dre’s The Chronic, Lauryn Hill’s The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, and Jay-Z’s The Blueprint.

In addition, quintessential rap singles by Sugarhill Gang (“Rapper’s Delight”), Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five (“The Message”), and Tupac “2Pac” Shakur (“Dear Mama”) are in the National Recording Registry as well. Only eleven Hip Hop acts have been chosen for the honor.

“The National Recording Registry will preserve our history through these vibrant recordings of music and voices that have reflected our humanity and shaped our culture from the past 143 years,” said Carla Hayden, Librarian of Congress.

Hayden continued, “We received about 900 public nominations this year for recordings to add to the registry, and we welcome the public’s input as the Library of Congress and its partners preserve the diverse sounds of history and culture.”

Other 2020 National Recording Registry selections include Janet Jackson’s Rhythm Nation 1814, Louis Armstrong’s “When the Saints Go Marching In,” Labelle’s “Lady Marmalade,” Kool & the Gang’s “Celebration,” and Kermit the Frog’s “The Rainbow Connection.” See the full list below.

Ebro Responds To Saweetie Saying She Has PTSD From Hot 97 Freestyle Criticism

Hip Hop can be a tough space. Some traditionalists are known to share brash opinions about the state of the culture and its current representatives. Whether it is viewed as constructive criticism or hate, gatekeepers’ thoughts still have influence.

Back in 2018, Saweetie stopped by New York City’s Hot 97 radio station to be a guest on the Ebro in the Morning show. The “Icy Grl” rapper spit a freestyle while on the program, but the hosts responded with mostly critical feedback.

Before she rapped on the spot, Ebro warned Saweetie that he is a very hard critic. She responded, “We just gonna do whatever we do, and if you like it, you like it, if you don’t then… [laughs].” After the freestyle, Ebro said if Sweetie were a man he would be harder on her. She told him, “Then be hard on me.”

Apparently, Saweetie felt Ebro Darden went too hard with his critiques. The 27-year-old High Maintenance EP creator discussed the experience at Hot 97 three years ago in a new cover story for Cosmopolitan magazine.

“It was a really dark point in my life. I went from being so loved so quickly because of ‘Icy Grl’ to, on my first promo run, well, you saw the interview. The script flipped really quick, like night and day. I was like, Wait…” stated Saweetie. “I had PTSD from that.”

The California-raised performer claiming criticism of the freestyle caused her to suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder quickly spread across the internet. This morning, Ebro tweeted about the Saweetie story making the rounds online.

After a Twitter user asked him what would be talked about on today’s Ebro in the Morning, the 45-year-old radio veteran responded, “Apparently, having an opinion on her freestyle rap gave Saweetie PTSD…. should I feel bad?”

A few of Ebro’s tweets from the day before were also seen by some people as subtle responses to Saweetie’s Cosmo quote. Particularly, one Tuesday afternoon tweet that read, “Please don’t confuse success in the music business with being good at making music.”

However, the presenter for Apple Music’s Beats 1 later added, “I hate when that happens… I’m just tweeting listening to music and having discussions, then boom! My tweet is aligned with some other b####### I ain’t even know happened. Damn.”

Roddy Ricch: A Rapper Could Never Put Out A Diss Record About Me

Battling has a long tradition in Hip Hop culture. Many of the all-time greats – such as KRS-One, Ice Cube, 2Pac, Common, LL Cool J, Jay-Z, Nas, Eminem, 50 Cent, Jadakiss, Lil Kim, Nicki Minaj, Drake, and Pusha T – have all engaged in a war of words on wax.

One of the perceived leaders of the new school of contemporary rap music was recently asked about the chance he could be the target of one of his peers’ lyrical assaults. 22-year-old “The Box” hitmaker Roddy Ricch spoke about that possibility in a new cover story for Complex.

“If somebody dissed me, I would not take it seriously,” declared Ricch. “I be in my own lane. I be in my own world. So I would take it as a joke. Like, just think about somebody trying to beef with Roddy. That ain’t even – that’s just a joke. N#### can’t never come out with no diss record about me. What you gonna say?”

It appears Ricch is more focused on cultivating his own stardom rather than taking aim at other people in Hip Hop. Following the commercial and critical success of his 2019 debut album Please Excuse Me for Being Antisocial, the self-described perfectionist is looking to put out a timeless body of work with his sophomore LP.

“With my next project, I’m going to be more vulnerable,” said Ricch. “I’m going to bring fans into my world more. I’m learning the balance. Like, OK, I’m not on Instagram, so I feel like I’ve got to bring them into my life more so they can feel me a little more.”

NBA YoungBoy’s Mom Blasts Wendy Williams For Criticizing Her Son

The arrest of YoungBoy Never Broke Again is one of the biggest stories in Hip Hop this week. Many different outlets, publications, and media personalities covered the legal situation, including The Wendy Williams Show.

Williams had a lot to say about YoungBoy allegedly fleeing from police before he was taken into federal custody. Even though the Baton Rouge rapper has not been convicted yet, the daytime talk show host pushed for him to be locked up now.

“He’s got to go to jail,” said Williams. “How do you do a hot pursuit? There are innocent people out here. You could’ve hurt innocent people in your hot pursuit and running through people’s backyards. Nobody wants that – bringing down the property value.”

She added, “And how is it that you do what you do with seven kids at only 21-years-old? And I wonder what Yaya Mayweather’s father, Floyd [Mayweather], is saying about this.” Her last point was in reference to the mother of one of YoungBoy’s children.

YoungBoy’s mother had an issue with what Wendy had to say about her son. Sherhonda Gaulden apparently took to social media to post, “F### Wendy Williams around here letting a half-dead 90-year-old white man suck her dick worried about my child stop tagging me in b#######.”

Yaya Mayweather has also addressed the father of her newborn son being in federal custody at the moment. The social media influencer wrote on her Instagram page, “My day has been ruined [sad face emoji, broken heart emoji].”

FBI Reportedly Arrested NBA YoungBoy Over 2020 Gun Charges

Kentrell “YoungBoy Never Broke Again” Gaulden was taken in to federal custody on Monday. New reports offer an explanation for why the FBI wanted to apprehend the Louisiana-raised rapper.

According to TMZ, NBA YoungBoy was arrested in Los Angeles for charges connected to his arrest in Baton Rouge last September. Apparently, the 21-year-old entertainer had firearms in his possession which violated the terms of his release for a previous conviction.

Gaulden has reportedly been charged with one count of illegal possession of firearms by a felon and possession of an unregistered weapon in the federal case. Law enforcement claim a 9mm handgun seized at the scene was not registered to NBA Youngboy.

The “What That Speed Bout!?” rhymer was among sixteen people arrested on drug and firearms charges last September in Baton Rouge. YoungBoy’s lawyer has insisted that his client is innocent. He currently remains in federal custody.

PnB Rock also wanted his fans to know that he still has goo gobs of money by flexing in a video with “racks” of money cupped in his arm. Maybe recent posts to Twitter, lyrics of one of his newest songs, might address his label issues.

“Everybody think they know me now.”

“I got enemies tryna smoke me now.”

“I got record labels tryna slow me down.”

“Say you luv me then you gotta show me now.”

“Ain’t my braddah den please do not bro me now”

The lyrics are the chorus to the song in this clip:

PnB Rock could also be referencing a recent lawsuit that he lost against New Jersey rapper Rackboy Cam just a few days ago. 

Cam sued PNB and YFN Lucci and won a $1.7 million infringement case. The case focused on the independent artist’s 2016 song “Everything Be Lit.” It is alleged that PNB and Lucci bit his song when making their Billboard chart-topping hit, “Everyday We Lit.”

The judge, Hon. Charles A. Pannell Jr., believed that the chorus of Lucci’s song was very similar to the one sung by Brooklyn emcee Maino. 

The NJ Advance Media reported, that under the terms of the judgment, Rackboy Cam will get $1.445 million, writer’s credit for royalties at 50% in perpetuity from both YFN Lucci and PNB Rock, and received what is called “pre-judgment interest” of 6.25% for the three years since he filed the lawsuit.

All of his legal fees are added to the $1.7 million hit.

Footage Of NBA Youngboy’s Attempt To Flee And Arrest Goes Viral

Rapper NBA Youngboy has been arrested after attempting to flee the FBI and LAPD.

The “Bandit” hitmaker, also known as Youngboy Never Broke Again, had an outstanding federal warrant out for his arrest, with authorities trying to pull over a vehicle the 21-year-old was traveling in on Monday.

However, after the car was stopped, the musician then attempted to flee on foot, leading to officers bringing in a K-9 police dog to help track him down.

According to TMZ, the dog was responsible for sniffing YoungBoy out, although the rapper avoided being bitten.

NBA YoungBoy is now in FBI custody and is believed to be undergoing investigation following his September 2020 arrest on drugs and firearms charges.

A firearm was found in the car he was in on Monday, although it’s unknown as yet whether or not it belonged to the rapper, real name Kentrell Gaulden.

Dwyane Wade Thanks Boosie For His Comments About His Transgender Daughter Zaya

Ever since Dwyane Wade’s transgender child Zaya emerged to the world as a teenaged-girl, many have wondered how her parents have dealt with the transformation, and the media coverage.

Now the retired NBA All-Star player has shared how he processed it and why he wants to thank Boosie Badazz (and others) for comments made about her transition last year.

Last year, Boosie took to his social media and went on a rant about Wade’s parenting.

“I gotta say something about this s###, bro. Dwyane Wade, you gone too f###### far, dawg,” Boosie barked. “That is a male. A 12-year-old. At 12, they don’t even know what they next meal gon’ be. They don’t have s### figured out yet. He might meet a woman, anything, at 16 and fall in love with her. But his dick be gone—how he gon’—like, bruh, you going too far, dawg.”

During an interview with the I Am Athlete podcast, Wade said, “All the people who got something to say about my kids, I thank you because you allowing the conversation to keep going forward. Because you know what? We might not have all the answers, but we’re growing from each conversation.”

“I thank everybody for even hating and starting those conversations,” he further stated. “Because those conversations are starting other conversations.”

He also said he suspected that his child, once called Zion, then three-years-old may not have been CIS gendered. That was when he and his new wife Gabrielle Union started the real work of parenting.

“People don’t want to hear this s### and don’t believe this s###,” Wade revealed. “At three years old, me and my wife looked at each other and said, ‘What if?’ What if, at the time, the name was Zion, comes home one day and says, ‘Dad I’m gay,’ or ‘Dad, I’m this, I’m that.’ What are you going to do, sir?”

Recently, Zaya was interviewed by Michelle Obama.

While the interview went well, some took offense.

Brooklyn rapper Lil Mama put her two cents into the conversation and got a whole bank of backlash from the LGBTQ+ community.

Republican’s Lewd Comments About Cardi B In Congress Sparks Harassment Complaint To Ethics Committee

After a Georgia State Republican Congressman made lewd comments about Bronx rapper Cardi B on Monday (March 16th), female lawmakers filed a sexual harassment complaint to the state’s ethics committee.

According to Courthouse News, Representative Kasey Carpenter joked, “Is it not true this bill will provide safety measures to ensure that Cardi B’s backside implants will be safe and ensure a lifetime of effectiveness?”

Huh, weh?

Approximately twelve women in congress, led by Democratic Representative Jasmine Clark, congress aligned to make sure statements like that never happen again.

By the 17th, Carpenter issued an apology, but the women were not moved because of its lack of sincerity.

“While I accept my colleague’s apology, I also feel it is important to formalize our complaint,” Clark said. “If I throw a plate against the wall, an apology may be appreciated, but it doesn’t fix the plate. We need to do the work to actually fix what is broken.”

Representative Shelly Hutchinson also tweeted, “How many apologies do we have to accept before we are given a basic level of respect?” 

“I never thought after I was elected by my constituents that I would be here asking for safety in the workplace.”

Sexism within the state’s politics is historically systemic. Currently, in the Georgia General Assembly, there are 78 women in their 236-seat legislative branch.

Georgia Democratic Representative Beth Moore notes that even down to how they are treated in personal matters like using the bathroom, women experience discrimination.

“Women and children are often an afterthought at the Capitol if they’re thought of at all, other than when it comes to passing legislation controlling pregnant women’s bodies,” she told Courthouse News. 

“We’re here to do serious work for the people of Georgia, and we do have a lot of fun with it,” she said, “but we can also do it without making women feel like unwanted guests in their own home.”

 

President Donald Trump Is Launching His Own Social Media Platform To Rival Twitter

When Twitter and Facebook bounced Donald Trump off of their social media platforms for spreading false information about the election, many suspected that the former president would lose his mind not being able to express himself to the public via the mediums.

Despite inciting a national insurrection on January 6, for the most part, 45 didn’t. He sat in the cut quietly and plotted a way to push his propaganda to MAGA Maniacs all across the world.

Now we know why.

Former advisor Jason Miller went on Fox News Media Buzz to say that the-no-longer president will be launching his own social media platform within the next two to three months.

He said, “I do think that we’re going to see President Trump returning to social media is probably about two or three months here with his own platform – and this is something that I think will be the hottest ticket in social media.”

Apparently, the former reality star and one-term-president has plenty of time to work on this new business venture since he, like millions of Americans who have lost their jobs during the COVID-19 pandemic that he failed to prioritize, is unemployed.

“There have been a lot of high-powered meetings he’s been having at Mar-a-Lago with some teams of folks who have been coming in,” Miller continued “And I got to tell you, there have been – it’s not just one company that’s approached the president. There have been numerous companies.”

“I think the president does know what direction that he wants to head here. This new platform is going to be big and everyone wants him. He’s going to bring millions and millions, tens of millions of people to this new platform.”
