AllSports: Dom Kennedy Explains The Racial Dynamic of Richard Sherman's Rant

By: Keith Nelson Jr (@JusAire) Updated Category: Headlines

(AllHipHop Original Series ) Earlier this week (January 28th) Dom Kennedy spoke EXCLUSIVELY with AllHipHop about Get Home Safely, his rise to fame and more. During the interview, Dom Kennedy gave a profound and poignant analysis of the uproar over Richard Sherman’s rant on San Francisco 49ers receiver Michael Crabtree following the NFC Championship game. For this edition of AllSports, Dom’s unedited and full analysis is placed on center stage:

It’s America. It’s America. It’s America. That’s really what that came down to. People getting out of line, and not even getting out of line, but showing their emotions over showing a passion. He probably been playing football since he was younger than 10 years old. Seven or eight years old, you know what I’m saying? That’s like doing the same thing for 20 years and getting to the top of your sport and making a great play and letting some of that emotion off against somebody who wants it as bad as you.

I feel like that’s what you want to see, you know. That’s what you want to see. You don’t see the NFL suspending them or fining them or none of that. If anything it helped the NFL and it brought more awareness to the cause. I don’t think it was bad at all. You hear a lot of words thrown around now by people who don’t know nothing about racism and this and that.

It was just two young Black guys competing on the football field. It’s like, it got to end somewhere. Man, they on the football field. Those are two guys who went to college who make a living playing professional sports. It has to end somewhere. They didn’t do nothing wrong or anything bad. It’s just unfortunate, now it came down to two Black guys. I don’t think I’ve ever seen an instance where it was two Black guys and there was this much racism.

By: Friday Foster Updated Category: Rumors

Draya Michele of Basketball Wives LA has been beefing with Jackie Christie’s daughter, Chantel…over a man. Apparently, the two got into a fight during filming for the reality show, over Dallas Cowboys cornerback Orlando Scandrick. Draya was claiming him as her boo and had him all up on Instragram in pictures but in the trailer for the forthcoming season of Basketball Wives LA we see Jackie Christie telling Draya that Scandrick was double dipping.

Looks like it’s not over because the women took to Twitter (what else is new) to throw some digital darts at each other. According to Draya, who is allegedly still dating Scandrick, the situation was manipulated for TV.

Hip-Hop Rumors: Is Mama Joyce Still Keeping Todd and Kandi From Getting Married

By: Friday Foster Updated Category: Rumors

There was an episode of Real Housewives of Atlanta where Mama Joyce said she was going to back off Kandi’s man, Todd, but it looks like she’s having a hard time keeping that promise.

Mama Joyce, who has made it clear that she doesn’t want her daughter to marry Todd because she feels he is an opportunist, has taken more shots at him via In Touch. In the issue, on stands now, she alleges that the only person Todd cares about is himself.

“Kandi’s on one page, and Todd is on his page,” Joyce tells In Touch, noting that her daughter had originally wanted a Valentine’s Day ceremony. “Kandi is in love — and Todd is in love with Todd. He could love Kandi, but he loves Todd more.”

Kandi was in wedding-planning mode on RHOA but all the mama drama made her reconsider her plans for a big wedding, including the dates they were thinking about. Now it sounds like things are really up in the air because during a recent visit to Watch What Happens Live, Todd told host Andy Cohen, “We’re taking it day-by-day,” when asked about the status of his nuptials.
