On America’s commercialized day of love, the inane folks at NBC’s Saturday Night Live had nothing but hate for Beyoncé. In an elementary attempt at satire offensive comments were hurled towards Queen B. A slew of predictable puns were made in jest about Bey’s cultural heritage.

“Honey, get in here! I think Beyoncé is Black,” a flat thespian attempted to deliver her shocking discovery. To their chagrin a collection of appalled co-workers traded barbs. One man sang some lyrics from her song “Formation.” The inquisitive idiot asked, “...hot sauce in my bag, swag,” what does that mean?

“Maybe that song isn’t for us,” offered another insolent individual. A hysterical woman soon voiced her White Privilege and yelled, “But usually everything is!”

Check out the video:

Is SNL’s  The Day Beyoncé Turned Black an apt depiction of how some folks view Beyoncé?

Did Kobe Diss Drake, Or Was Toronto Doing Too Much?

By: YourfavenightmareCategory: Rumors

We get it, Toronto. Drake is the top dog in Hip-Hop. WE GET IT! We have a Black president and are proud no matter what. Well, Toronto may not have a Black press, but they have Drake. And guess what? The Drake was paraded all over All-Star weekend, which so happened to go down in his hometown. Drizzy was all over the place. However…do you remember this?

Yeah, that’s what Drake said on “Stay Schemin’” from back a few years ago. Remember, Kobe had some marital issues and Drake road with Kobe…except he called his wife a B-Word. Well. That didn’t work out. Anyway, there was rumor that Kobe gave Drake the cold shoulder when he saw him over the weekend. I was told others did too. Now, it could have been any number of thing, not beef. They could have been focused on the game. Or not there for the pomp and pageantry. Or…maybe, just not messing with Drake in their field of expertise. Who knows. It just seemed weird after he paid homage to Kobe.

Drake got honored with the Key to the City of T-Dot! Respect!

50 Cent Shades Jay Electronica?

By: YourfavenightmareCategory: Rumors

YO! 50 Cent is funny. A few days ago, Jay Electronica said some that made us all go “Hmmmmmmmm,” but it sort of disappeared fast. Nobody replied. That’s probably a good thing, because all hell could break loose. Jay E is a real dude. 50 Cent is a real dude too. However, is it possible that 50 never HEARD of Jay Electronica? I doubt it.
