Flavor Flav Just Crushed The National Anthem At Bucks Vs. Hawks Game

By: Kyle EusticeCategory: News

Flavor Flav is primarily known as a reality television star and the colorful hypeman for Public Enemy, who peppers the legendary rap group’s catalog with a variety of ad-libs. But many don’t realize he’s also a multi-instrumentalist who can apparently sing like an angel. On Sunday night (October 29), Flavor Flav—former star of VH1’s Flavor of Love—sauntered onto the basketball court to perform the National Anthem ahead of the Milwaukee Bucks vs. Atlanta Hawks game.

Rocking his signature clock, a pair of sunglasses, white baseball cap (sideways, of course) and a green Bucks jersey, Flavor Flav delivered a live rendition of “The Star-Spangled Banner” that had the crowd completely awe-struck. As Flav belted out lyrics like, “And the rocket’s red glare, the bombs bursting in air/Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there,” blips of cheers and applause kept coming his way. At the end of the clip, someone can be heard yelling, “That’s the best national anthem ever!”

Flavor Flav (and/or his team) later addressed his performance on social media, saying, “The anthem was a long time bucket list item, that was fun! I can’t live my life worried about what people might say about me. I won’t let that stop me from trying new things and doing things I wanna do. Some people might not like that. But a sure failure is if you stop trying. ”

“The Star-Spangled Banner” was adopted in 1931 as the national anthem of the United States. The lyrics come from the “Defence of Fort M’Henry,” a poem written on September 14, 1814. Flav’s rendition is getting rave reviews, with many people completely shocked he could sing like that.

The apple evidently doesn’t fall too far from the tree. Flavor Flav’s four-year-old son, Jordan Drayton, just released his first single and video with Goonies actor Corey Feldman. The young Drayton—who has adopted the stage name JRD—is the star of “Here Comes Halloween.” The accompanying video finds Drayton dressed as A Nightmare Before Christmas character Jack Skellington and going trick or treating with his little friends.

On Friday (October 27), Flavor Flav shared a clip of the video to his Instagram page and applauded his young son for the new song and video. He wrote in the caption, ” My son Jordan is a superstar. Here Comes Halloween, featuring Corey Feldman and my son Jordan Drayton.”

Drayton already plays the drums, piano and sings on the sidewalks of Hollywood, clearly a natural performer. As for the Bucks vs. Hawks game, the Hawks are currently up by 23 points with roughly eight minutes left to go in the fourth quarter. Watch Flavor sing the National Anthem above and Jordan Drayton (JRD)’s video below.

Leigh-Anne Pinnock Was Shook When She Beefed With Nicki Minaj During “Blackfishing” Controversy 

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

Leigh-Anne Pinnock has described her 2021 “blackfishing” beef with Jesy Nelson and Nicki Minaj as “one of the most difficult moments” in her career.

After she quit Little Mix, Jesy launched her solo career in October 2021 with the song “Boyz,” featuring Nicki, and she was accused of “black fishing,” or pretending to be Black, in the music video.

Leaked Instagram messages subsequently appeared online, seemingly showing Jesy’s former bandmate Leigh-Anne calling her a “black fish” and a “horrible person,” and Nicki called out Leigh-Anne during an Instagram Live with Jesy.

Reflecting on the incident in her memoir, “Believe,” Pinnock explained that “the horrific online row” was hard because she was still recovering from the birth of her twins two months earlier.

“It was one of the most difficult moments I can remember throughout my career,” she recalled. “In the moment, it felt truly awful. As much as I tried to avoid Instagram and Twitter, I kept seeing the comments and the debates that were taking place on every platform. Even when I put my phone away and refused to look at it there was still this underlying anxiety about what was happening online.”

The 32-year-old then credited her newborns with helping her make peace with the dispute.

“Something so beautiful pulled me out of that horrible spiral – one of my (babies) smiled at me for the first time,” she continued. “How could I care about what people were saying about me on Instagram when something so rare and magical as my baby’s smile existed in the world? It didn’t matter. None of it did.”

Nicki Minaj aimed Leigh-Anne during an Instagram Live with Jesy to promote their collaboration.

“If you was in this woman’s group and you ain’t talk about this s### for ten years and as soon as you see she got a video coming out with Nicki Minaj and Puffy (P Diddy), now you sending text messages,” Nicki Minaj raged. “If you want a solo career, baby girl, just say that. Only jealous people do things like this.”

Cher Says Boyfriend A.E. “Gets Her” Despite Their 40-Year Age Gap

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

Cher has shared that she and her boyfriend, Alexander ‘A.E.’ Edwards “just get each other.” During a new interview with Extra, the music legend, 77, gave an insight into her relationship with the 37-year-old producer.

“I hate to talk about how happy I am, but no, we have a great time together,” Cher told the outlet. “We can talk music. We can talk about everything.”

Cher added, “He’s got a great sense of humor, he’s got the cutest son in the world, ever… We just get each other.”

The pair first sparked romance rumors in November 2022 when they were spotted holding hands. They then made their red carpet debut as a couple at a Versace fashion show the following March.

Although they can talk about “everything,” Cher admitted that Alexander doesn’t always understand her references due to their 40-year age gap.

“Sometimes I’m talking to him, and he has no idea who I’m talking about… The other day, I said, ‘Do you know who, I don’t know, Clark Gable, (is)?’ Somebody said, ‘Yes, of course,’ but most of my references… He’ll look at me and go, ‘I wasn’t born yet,” Cher confessed.

Kylie Jenner Subtly Shades Travis Scott Over Co-Parenting Their Two Kids

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

Kylie Jenner has opened up about co-parenting with her ex-boyfriend Travis Scott.

During an interview with WSJ. Magazine, Kylie Jenner was asked how co-parenting her two children with the rapper was going.

“It’s going…” Kylie responded. “I think we’re doing the best job that we can do.”

Kylie shares five-year-old Stormi and 20-month-old Aire with Travis Scott. The pair began their on-and-off relationship in 2017 and called it quits in late 2022.

Elsewhere in the interview, Kylie explained why she decided to change her son’s name from Wolf to Aire nearly two months after he was born.

“That was the hardest thing that I’ve ever done in my life. I’m still like, ‘Did I make the right decision?'” the television personality said, admitting she felt pressure to give him a name.

“The postpartum hit, and the hormones, and I couldn’t even make a decision or think straight,” she told the outlet. “It just destroyed me. I could not name him.”

She added, “I was like, ‘I feel like a failure. I don’t have a name for my son.’ So it took me a while. The longer I waited, the harder it was to name him.”

The reality star, who is now dating Timothée Chalamet, also shared the lessons she’s learned from raising her first child.

“My daughter has totally taught me a lot more about myself, and seeing myself in her has changed everything. I’ve had so much growth and am just embracing natural beauty,” Kylie gushed. “I’m teaching her about mistakes that I made and making sure she knows she’s just perfect exactly how she is.”

“Friends” Star Matthew Perry’s Death: No Illicit Drugs But Anti-Anxiety, Other Pills Found At Home

By: Kyle EusticeCategory: News

The entertainment world was shaken on Saturday night (October 28) when news of Matthew Perry’s death broke. The Friends star was found unresponsive in his hot tub in the backyard of his Pacific Palisades home in Los Angeles, the victim of an apparent drowning. Perry, who was open about his struggles with drug and alcohol abuse over the years, had just wrapped up a two-hour pickle ball game at Riviera near his house.

While there were no illicit drugs found at the scene, TMZ reports investigators discovered anti-anxiety, anti-depressant and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) drugs inside the home. The Los Angeles County Coroner will conduct a toxicology exam to determine if any drugs were present in Perry’s system at the time of his death, but that will take weeks, if not months.

In the meantime, his family—specifically mother Suzanne Morrison, biological father John Bennett Perry and step-father Keith Morrison—has issued a statement about Perry’s death, saying, “We are heartbroken by the tragic loss of our beloved son and brother. Matthew brought so much joy to the world, both as an actor and a friend. You all meant so much to him and we appreciate the tremendous outpouring of love.”

All three of them arrived at Perry’s home just hours after the drowning occurred. The coroner’s van was also photographed on site as was Perry’s body being wheeled into it. At this point, investigators can’t rule out a drug overdose nor can they confirm one, but Perry’s 2022 book, Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing: A Memoir, quoted Perry as saying, “My friends call me Matty and I should be dead.” His addiction to the pain killer Vicodin nearly killed him. Speaking to NBC News in an interview, Perry told Diane Sawyer his addiction was always waiting to get him isolated so he could fill his time by using drugs, in which case he admitted, “You lose to the disease.”

Matthew Perry also told Sawyer he would sometimes ingest 55 pills a day and detoxed more than 60 times, spending half his life in rehab or sober living, while attending thousands of AA meetings.

Of course, Perry has been a trending Twitter topic since his death, with celebrities and fans alike coming out in droves to express their grief. Eerily, his last Instagram post was taken six days ago in the same hot tub he drowned in. He wrote, “Oh, so warm water swirling around makes you feel good? I’m Mattman.” See it above.

Kim Kardashian Defends Having Nannies For Kids With Kanye West: “It Takes A Village”

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

Kim Kardashian has responded to backlash over her complaints about being a single parent.

Kim Kardashian was criticized after complaining about the challenges of being a single parent to her four children despite having help from nannies and a chef.

In the most recent installment of “The Kardashians,” Kim reflected on her comments, which she made on Jay Shetty’s “On Purpose” podcast earlier this year.

“I think I’m still learning how to be a single parent,” the 43-year-old acknowledged in the episode. “And I just did the Jay Shetty podcast where I spoke about parenting, and I mean, I should be used to it now, but everyone had a lot to say.”

Kim shares her children, North, 10, Saint, seven, Chicago, five, and Psalm, four, with her ex-husband Kanye West.

During her conversation with Jay, the Skims founder called parenting “really f**king hard” and confessed that she cries herself to sleep some nights.

Soon after the podcast episode went live, social media users quickly pointed out that Kim has the luxury of multiple nannies to help her look after her kids as well as a chef to take care of cooking duties.

During “The Kardashians” episode, Kim explained that although she does have extra help regarding her children, nobody can take over her job as their mother.

“Obviously, having nannies and a chef to help cook is beyond helpful. It’s all about family and enjoying these moments. It takes a village to raise kids but at the end of the day, your kids only want you,” she said.

Kim and Kanye married in 2014 and their divorce was finalized in November 2022.

The D.O.C. Says Powers That Be Behind His Documentary Are “Still Playing Games”

By: Kyle EusticeCategory: News

The D.O.C. has delivered an update on his highly anticipated documentary, The DOC. The film premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival in 2022 but has been tied up in red tape ever since. The Dallas-born gangsta rap legend has been vocal about his frustrations with the situation over the last several months but continues to look at the bright side. On Friday (October 27), The D.O.C. responded to a fan’s inquiry about the film via Twitter. He replied, “These people still playing games with me in the year of Hip Hop, but it’s a G.O.D thing not a D.O.C thing so they can’t win. They only making the splash bigger. It’s coming.”

Directed by Dave Caplan, The DOC goes into vivid detail about the man born Tracy Curry. As the IMDb description explains, “Thirty years after losing his voice in a horrific car accident, rap legend The D.O.C. considers dangerous experimental surgery that could restore his voice at long last, as he recounts his life story.”

It all began in 1989 when The D.O.C. was on top of the world. Having just released his debut album, No One Can Do It Better, three months prior, he was admittedly in celebration mode. After leaving a party one night in Los Angeles, The D.O.C. was “high as a kite” when he fell asleep at the wheel and crashed into the side of the freeway. Without the aid of a seatbelt, he flew out of the rear window and slammed face-first into a tree. His injuries required 21 hours of plastic surgery and more than two weeks in the hospital. When he awoke, he realized he couldn’t speak, a devastating feeling for anyone but especially a rapper.

“The night of the accident, it was like a 24-hour period where I had tried both cocaine and ecstasy,” he said in a 2022 interview with me. “And then it just quit working when I was driving home.” When asked if he wished the officers would have hauled him off to jail, he replied, “I did that for about 30 years. But here recently, I understand that those officers were just a part of that time. Had they taken me to jail, I wouldn’t be here where I am right now today. Now, I have insight into an understanding that allows me to help a lot of other people who are in that same space.”

The D.O.C. endure a period where he was gravely depressed and using substances to numb his pain. But with that in the rearview, he’s focused on his latest chapter. Earlier this year, The D.O.C. teamed up with The Codefendants—NOFX’s Fat Mike, Ceschi Ramos and Sam King—for the single “Fast Ones,” which included The D.O.C.’s first verse in decades. He had a chance to perform the song live at Fat Mike’s annual Punk in Drublic Festival, a feeling he essentially equated to heaven on earth.

The sky’s the limit for the talented songwriter, who’s also been back in the studio with Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg. Fans will just have to see what his next move is.

50 Cent Trashes Madonna Again, Tells Her To Fix Her Butt

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

50 Cent continues to make fun of Madonna’s appearance, after one inflammatory post over the weekend reignited a few between the pair.

50 didn’t hold back his thoughts on Madonna’s appearance during one of her performances.

In a post from October 27, he shared a side-by-side image of Madonna on stage next to a cartoon ant, questioning her recent appearance and alleged plastic surgery.

He captioned the post, “Who the f### did this? She’s rich how the hell she didn’t get it fixed. I want the fvcking doctors name right now. I mean damn it man! LOL.”

Last night (October 28) the “In Da Club” rapper intensified his attacks on the Queen of Pop.

He followed up with a new post, along with the caption, “👀ok so now TMZ is gonna act like they don’t see her, on stage looking like she just s### her self. 🤨I scratch my head, when I see a bad BBL where the f### is the persons friends when they need them? she rich She can fix it, FIX IT! 😆WTF.”

A post shared by 50 Cent (@50cent)

Madonna, who is currently on “The Celebration Tour,” has faced scrutiny over her alleged plastic surgeries aimed at maintaining a youthful appearance.

The feud between the two artists can be traced back to 2021 when 50 Cent ridiculed one of Madonna’s sultry photo shoots.

The images showed Madonna in provocative poses, including one where she was sprawled out under a bed wearing fishnet stockings and high heels.

50 Cent shared the image on his Instagram with the caption, “Yo this is the funniest s###! LOL. That’s Madonna under the bed trying to do like a virgin at 63. she shot out, if she don’t get her old ass up. LMFAO.”

Madonna didn’t take the comments lightly and called out the rapper for his “misogynistic, sexist, ageist” remarks and claimed he was merely trying to shame and humiliate her.

So far, Madonna has yet to comment on 50 Cent’s latest attacks.

Blueface & Chrisean Rock Said They Called It Quits—But That Wasn’t Entirely True

By: Devon JeffersonCategory: Rumors

No, Blueface and Chrisean Rock haven’t fully broken it off with each other, despite the “Thotiana” rapper proposing to Jaidyn Alexis, the mother of one of his children.

For those of you who don’t believe me, you gotta understand that this revelation came to me directly by the way of the horse’s mouth. Said horse—Chrisean Rock—took to Instagram Live recently to air Blueface out. According to Rock, she and Blueface remain sexually active, despite the fact he’s now engaged to Alexis.

“He still gone pull up like he did yesterday, like!? You feel me like we really just locked in forever,” Rock said in the video. Rock also went on to acknowledge the fact that she wouldn’t be where she is without Blueface—and it was low-key cute. But in the same breath, it’s also really messy.

It’s like Blueface is seemingly performing yet another ”Build-A-Career” workshop for Alexis, whom he just helped ink a deal with Capitol Records following the success of her viral hit, “Barbie.”

On yet another awkward, and somewhat comically petty note, Blueface has seemingly beat down the Lil Mabu robbery rumors that were bearing down on him. What if, in fact, he was in on this entire saga the whole time and orchestrating it for his benefit and drops a collab with Mabu, Alexis and Rock on some wholesome extended family vibes?! Would that not be one of the most innovative publicity pseudo-events of this modern era of digital media era or what?

Anyway, check out the full video below.

Kanye West Allegedly Told adidas Worker To “Kiss” A Photo Of Adolf Hitler

By: Kershaw St. JawnsonCategory: News

A year after Kanye West went on his infamous antisemitic rant—which cost him his title of billionaire—new reports have surfaced that he once told an adidas executive to “kiss a picture of Hitler.”

As previously reported by AllHipHop.com, adidas and West have had a challenging relationship that came to a head when he published a video of himself showing explicit adult videos to top executives at the sneaker and apparel brand.

Executives have also talked about how his erratic behavior, even before the antiemetic rhetoric, plastered the headlines in 2022.

Kanye West’s erratic behavior reportedly includes him saying derogatory comments about Jewish people and even celebrating Adolf Hitler.

“The adidas employees, thrilled to get started, had arrayed sneakers and fabric swatches on a long table near a mood board pinned with images,” The New York Times reports. “But nothing they showed that day at the company’s German headquarters captured the vision Mr. West had shared.

“To convey how offensive he considered the designs, he grabbed a sketch of a shoe and took a marker to the toe. Then he drew a s#######.”

A person working closely to the Yeezy deal says one day, he “advised a Jewish adidas manager to kiss a picture of Hitler every day.”

West’s fractured relationship with the retail giant has been internet fodder for years. It led to him losing his billionaire status, burned multiple bridges and cost him seemingly countless fans.

Flavor Flav Supports 4-Year-Old “Superstar” Son’s Halloween Collab With Corey Feldman

By: Kyle EusticeCategory: Exclusives

Flavor Flav has a four-year-old son named Jordan Drayton, who has emerged as a young musical prodigy. Immersed in music his entire life, Drayton naturally gravitated toward singing, drumming and dancing. It’s not necessarily surprising considering his father can also play multiple instruments, is part of one of the most legendary groups in music history, Public Enemy, and a member of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

Earlier this week, Drayton—who has adopted the stage name JRD (J-R-D)—appeared in his first official music video alongside former child actor Corey Feldman. Titled “Here Comes Halloween,” the playful song finds Drayton dressed as A Nightmare Before Christmas character Jack Skellington and going trick or treating with his little friends.

On Friday (October 27), Flavor Flav shared a clip of the video to his Instagram page and applauded his young son for the new song and video. He wrote in the caption, ” My son Jordan is a superstar. Here Comes Halloween, featuring Corey Feldman and my son Jordan Drayton.”

Drayton’s mother and Flavor Flav’s former manager, Kate Gammell, tells AllHipHop, ” Jordan wanted to do a Halloween song and Corey was really the most perfect person. He’s done all these amazing Halloween movies and Jordan really looks up to him as a person. We are friends with Corey. Jordan loves watching him dance, sing and loves The Lost Boys. Corey is the nicest with Jordan. Was so happy that he did the song and video with Jordan. I loved to see them play the guitar together and sing.”

A post shared by Flavor Flav ⏰ (@flavorflavofficial)

Flavor Flav, who’s the father to seven children, hasn’t always appeared to be so supportive. According Gammell, they struggled in the beginning to establish paternity. In 2020, she was forced to sell Flavor Flav merch in an effort to provide some financial relief. At the time, Flav had yet to acknowledge kinship to the child—despite a paternity test stating otherwise.

“When I told him I was pregnant with his child, Flavor let me go and I was left with thousands of dollars of Flavor Flav merch that I had purchased with my own money,” Gammell explained. “Jordan is not getting any child support from Flavor and I needed money for Jordan’s everyday needs. So, I decided to pull out the merch and sell it to help my son and give a percentage to Children’s Hospital. I doubt I will recoup the money that I put into this, but I don’t care, as any money towards Jordan’s needs is important. The support for Jordan has been fantastic so far.”

While the situation has still been tumultuous over the years, Flavor Flav’s recent show of support for his toddler son is a promising sign. Flav is also now paying child support as well.

Dwight Howard Addresses Lawsuit Stemming From Wild Night With Male Cross-Dresser “Kitty”

By: Kyle EusticeCategory: News

Former Los Angeles Laker Dwight Howard is addressing allegations he sexually assaulted someone. In a statement sent to AllHipHop.com, the Atlanta native and his team explained how a recent lawsuit filed by the alleged victim is nothing more than an attempt at a cash grab.

“This is a civil case that was made public for profit,” the statement reads. “In this case, the accuser is solely suing Dwight Howard and has refrained from suing the other party in which he claims to be involved. It is important to know that these matters were never about sexual assault. This was merely about money and greed. Such individuals, have made continuous attempts to elicit payment from Dwight. This has resulted in intimidation of not only Dwight, his family and friends have also been targeted as well.

“The accuser took to social media, only after being ignored by Howard. Over the duration of several years the accuser has set out to hire attorneys whom either declined the case or dropped the case after payment from Dwight was denied. Dwight hopes that people spend as much time covering his innocence, his numerous ventures to improve the lives of people through his global initiatives, his efforts to improve the quality of life of all people, despite race, creed, culture, sex, sexual orientation, and others.”

A post shared by Dwight Howard (@dwighthoward)

Howard has been accused of the sexual assault, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress and false imprisonment of another man. Consequently, that man, Stephen Harper, is suing the NBA All-Star. Howard denies the allegations, saying he and Harper met on social media and eventually had consensual sex with a third man dressed in women’s clothing named “Kitty.”

Howard’s team insists Harper is desperate for money. The statement continues, “Through efforts like his 750 acre farm, his community outreach, and his 18yr track record of global philanthropy, Dwight looks forward to fans, viewers and spectators alike to focus their time and energy on what matters, which are the positive endeavors that Dwight is actively working on for community, with negativity as the least important focus. In the past, people have tried to take advantage of Dwight, by attempting to use blackmail for money by fabricating stories and taking advantage of his kind nature.

“By taking immediate action, Dwight’s legal team is aggressively pursuing anyone who is online or otherwise attempting to go after his name with false claims. Dwight strongly empathizes with any real cases of sexual assault and believes that fabricated stories as such make it difficult for the real victims of true crimes to come forth. Assault has never been an element in Dwight’s character and he has never sexually assaulted ANYONE. The insensitivity of the individuals making such claims to damage his reputation is unfortunate. However, Howard plans to continue to live his life with grace and not let such false claims ruin his joy + spirit.”

Howard’s sexual preference was previously unknown by the general public until Harper’s bombshell lawsuit.

Eminem Is Now Shipping “Mom’s Spaghetti” Sauce Worldwide

By: Kershaw St. JawnsonCategory: News

Eminem is more than just an outstanding MC—he’s also an entrepreneur. Outside of his work within the music industry, the anointed “Rap God” has ventured into the food, dining and entertainment space.

In 2021, Slim Shady opened a Mom’s Spaghetti restaurant in Detroit, Michigan. The eatery, which started as a pop-up shop and evolved into a thriving brick-and-mortar, is named after a lyric from Eminem’s 2002 Oscar-winning song, “Lose Yourself.”

The restaurant is so popular, Eminem has released a 25-ounce packaged pasta sauce and is selling it to the world via the brand’s website. The announcement was made on the company’s Twitter page with the caption, “IT’S ALL READY  #MomsSpaghetti pasta sauce is now available! http://momsspaghetti.com.”

The restaurant added a sneak peek of the jar in the accompanying commercial: “Detroit’s finest! #MomsSpaghetti pasta sauce is now available to enjoy at home!!! #LuckyYou http://momsspaghetti.com.”

The sauce hit the market on Thursday (October 26) and orders will start shipping on Monday (October 30.) Eminem and his longtime manager, Paul Rosenberg, partnered with Detroit-based restaurant group Union Joints to set up the flagship location and create the sauce.

Mom’s Spaghetti began as a pop-up restaurant at St. Andrew’s Hall in Detroit in 2017 and coincided with the release of Eminem’s Revival album.

“This has been quite an exciting past few years in pasta,” Rosenberg said in a statement.  “It all began in an experimental pop-up shop around the release of the ‘Revival’ album in 2017.  The initial feedback was incredible so we decided to take it on the road during Em’s 2019 festival run, and that all led up to the opening of Mom’s Spaghetti in Detroit. The massive response to the restaurant made us realize that there’s a market out there for our sauce, so we spent the last year working on how we could get it to people without having to come all the way to Detroit.”

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Shady Records partnered with Union Joints to provide Mom’s Spaghetti to frontline caregivers at eight hospitals. They also assisted at the TCF Center (formerly Cobo Hall) in Detroit, where COVID-19 vaccinations were administered. This initiative not only celebrated the brand’s association with Eminem but also supported those tirelessly working during these challenging times.

G Herbo Left Behind A Trail Of Air Force 1s?

By: Devon JeffersonCategory: Rumors

Apparently, there’s a new way to track rappers such as G Herbo‘s movements—and not it’s not on any weird, Apple airtag tracker planting type s### either. Still kind of suspect, though.

A TikTok creator who happens to be an AirBnB host is under the impression that G Herbo stayed at his property due to the graveyard of Air Force 1s left behind after a rental. And I know what you are thinking, there can’t be any way bro seriously thinks he can confirm G Herbo’s presence solely off of some Nikes that wouldn’t fit into a couple carry-on bags.

However, from the looks of the first 10 seconds of the video, there are upwards of 13 AF1s just chilling in the walk-in closet and bathroom and common areas. And the joints are like near mint or better, none of them look like they’ve ben worn more than three times. For all my sneakerheads out there, looks like the stars are still on the outsole so you know it’s real.

Not to mention the number of white tees, snap back and fitted hats left behind definitely screams “rapper tendencies” and is very on-brand with G Herbo’s normal drip. The Nike Tech suit also seems like a dead giveaway. And the crib is also nice, with a private pool and all that.

Peep the clip below.

Travis Scott Accused Of Having Drug Problem After Old “SNL” Promo Video Resurfaces

By: Kyle EusticeCategory: News

Travis Scott appeared on Saturday Night Live in 2018, but old promo videos for the episode have people talking five years later. Earlier this week, a clip of Scott appearing alongside Awkwafina and former SNL cast member Cecily Strong made the rounds, leading people to wonder if he has a drug problem. In the clip, Scott struggles to keep his eyes open and seems to drift off a few times.

While some assumed he was just stoned, others were concerned it was something much more nefarious. As one person wrote, ““Yaaaa i never done no sh## like this on just weed…hoping he doesn’t OD like other rappers cos clearly he don’t got anyone who cares enough to stop him from doing this on live television.”

Another questioned: “He can barely keep his eyes open , you sure he just smokes weed?” while yet another added, “This high is not from a plant, this high from something made in a lab.”

Travis Scott appeared on the October 6, 2018 episode of SNL, where he performed “SICKO MODE” and “SKELETONS / ASTROTHUNDER.” His catalog is littered with drug and alcohol references—he even has a song called “Drugs You Should Try It.” But in an interview with In Camera, he denied drugs were part of his creative process.

“I don’t do a lot of drugs, s### so I don’t even know,” Scott said at the time. “I only think that real drugs are like crack, heroin, and f###ing, like, you know, meth. S### that really gets you f###ed up, s### that really gets you tweakin’. If you ain’t doing that, you ain’t doing drugs.”

He added, “I think that’s weak people need all that weird s### just to, like, tap into their f###ing brain. Knowledge is power, drugs [are] just, like, a mental cool down. It just put me at ease. I don’t tap into drugs to say what’s on my mind. I can do that s### sober. I am a drug, sober.”

Three years earlier, Scott also told Billboard: “It stresses me out because people think I’m on a lot of drugs, which f###ing p##### me off. I’m not at all. I barely drink alcohol and I smoke weed kind of. But I don’t do coke or any of that crazy-ass s###.”

50 Cent Trashes Madonna’s “Botched” Surgery: “I Want The Doctor’s Name!”

By: Kyle EusticeCategory: News

Madonna is currently on The Celebration Tour, bringing her iconic catalog to her millions of fans around the world. Now 65, The Material Girl has faced scrutiny for the alleged plastic surgery she’s had to keep her youthful appearance. 50 Cent, her longtime nemesis, has been one of Madonna’s most outspoken critics.

On Friday (October 27), the rapper-turned-television mogul shared a side-by-side image of Madonna on stage and a cartoon ant to his Instagram page. He wrote across it, “WTF” then added in the caption, “”Who the f### did this? She’s rich how the hell she didn’t get it fixed. I want the fvcking doctors name right now. I mean damn it man ! LOL.”

Fans of Madonna quickly hopped in the comment section to defend their queen, citing her monstrous success in the music industry. One wrote: “Madonna is the best selling female artist of all time, behind only The Beatles, MJ, and Elvis for best selling artist of all time. She’s also the highest grossing female performer of all time. Trash her all you want, but you can’t take those accomplishments away.

“You also look foolish, as do those jumping on the trash Madonna bandwagon. When you can get up at 65, still bust moves, still sound good, and still sell out shows, your opinions may be valid. Until then, take a seat… or not, and keep sounding like misogynistic crybabies. 50 years from now, the world will still know of and love Madonna, while you’ll just be remembered as the out of shape guy who greats like Dre, Mary J, ‘Em, and Snoop had as a side piece to their Super Bowl show.”

Of course, 50 Cent has ridiculed Madonna before, leading the pop star to defend herself online. In 2021, he took aim at one of Madonna’s sultry photo shoots. The pictures featured Madonna in some precarious positions, including being sprawled out facedown under a bed in nothing but fishnet stockings and high heels. 50 Cent took a screenshot of the pose and posted it to his Instagram page with the caption, “Yo this is the funniest s###! LOL. That’s Madonna under the bed trying to do like a virgin at 63. she shot out, if she don’t get her old ass up. LMFAO.”

Although 50 Cent issued an apology, Madonna called him out anyway and accused him of being sexist, ageist and misogynistic.

“You were trying to shame me,” she said. “You were trying to humiliate me. Yeah, your apology is fake. It’s b####### and it’s not valid. Let me just hit those four or five points about your apology being invalid. Number one, it’s not hard to find footage of you and me hanging out. Number two, an apology is not valid if you don’t know what you’re apologizing for. What you should be apologizing for is your misogynistic, sexist, ageist behavior and remarks.

“Number three, you didn’t hurt my feelings ’cause I don’t take it personally. I could never take it personally because you’re not coming from an enlightened place. Number four, you say that you’re not benefiting from it. Of course you’re benefiting from it. That is what social media is all about. You do understand that right?”
