Kodak Black was not impressed that Ray J reached out to him via social media voicing concern for his health, but his response video only raised more fears from fans worried he is using drugs.
Clips of the “Super Gremlin” hitmaker’s appearance on the latest episode of Drink Champs have gone viral, with the rapper appearing out of it throughout the show. Many fans voiced fears for his health, including Ray J, who said Kodak Black needs help and claimed “he did the most” during a meeting with Donald Trump.
Ray J also urged Wack 100 to act, writing, “let’s figure out how we can help this guy instead of watching him self destruct.”
Kodak Black caught wind of his remarks and slammed the singer-turned-tech entrepreneur on Instagram, claiming Ray J wants to go viral.
In the video, Kodak Black insisted he doesn’t need help, calling Ray J a “b####” and threatening to “beat your little ass.” He also dismissed the suggestion Ray-J had anything to do with the Trump meeting branding him a “Boosie ass n####.” Watch the video below.
However, his response only caused more worry as many viewers suspected Kodak Black was taking drugs while on livestream.
“Wait Whatttt Did he just get low ND low-key did a line of Yayyyy ???” one Instagram user questioned while another asked, “did this n#### just do a line a coke mid video??”
Many other commenters shared the same take on the video. “This n#### just sniffed coke ?” one person wrote. “I ain’t the smartest but my boy causally snorting lines,” added another.
The situation in the Middle East continues to grow uglier by the minute—and now, the entertainment industry is taking a stand. As of Sunday (October 29), more than 5,000 lives have been lost in the Israel-Gaza conflict. The carnage began on October 7 when the Hamas launched a surprise attack on Israel. Now, dozens of artists, actors, producers and other celebrities are begging President Joe Biden to call a ceasefire. A new website, simply labeled Artists 4 Ceasefire, recently went up and encourages Biden to act immediately.
An accompanying letter reads in part, “We come together as artists and advocates, but most importantly as human beings witnessing the devastating loss of lives and unfolding horrors in Israel and Palestine. We ask that, as President of the United States, you and the US Congress call for an immediate de-escalation and ceasefire in Gaza and Israel before another life is lost. More than 5,000 people have been killed in the last week and a half – a number any person of conscience knows is catastrophic. We believe all life is sacred, no matter faith or ethnicity and we condemn the killing of Palestinian and Israeli civilians.
“We urge your administration, Congress, and all world leaders, to honor all of the lives in the Holy Land and call for and facilitate a ceasefire without delay – an end to the bombing of Gaza, and the safe release of hostages. Half of Gaza’s two million residents are children, and more than two thirds are refugees and their descendants being forced to flee their homes. Humanitarian aid must be allowed to reach them.”
The letter is signed by Run The Jewels, Drake, Macklemore, The Coup’s Boots Riley, Noah “40” Shebib, Diplo, Jennifer Lopez, Jordan Peele and many, many others who are convinced the United States can play a “vital diplomatic role in ending the suffering.”
The letter continues, “We are adding our voices to those from the US Congress, UNICEF, Doctors without Borders, The International Committee of The Red Cross, and so many others. Saving lives is a moral imperative. To echo UNICEF, ‘Compassion — and international law — must prevail.’ As of this writing more than 6,000 bombs have been dropped on Gaza in the last 12 days – resulting in one child being killed every 15 minutes.”
A quote from UNICEF spokesperson James Elder reads, “Children and families in Gaza have practically run out of food, water, electricity, medicine and safe access to hospitals, following days of air strikes and cuts to all supply routes. Gaza’s sole power plant ran out of fuel Wednesday afternoon, shutting down electricity, water and wastewater treatment. Most residents can no longer get drinking water from service providers or household water through pipelines…. The humanitarian situation has reached lethal lows, and yet all reports point to further attacks. Compassion — and international law — must prevail.”
At the bottom of the letter, the signees concluded they won’t be complicit by staying quiet. It ends, “Beyond our pain and mourning for all of the people there and their loved ones around the world we are motivated by an unbending will to stand for our common humanity. We stand for freedom, justice, dignity and peace for all people – and a deep desire to stop more bloodshed. We refuse to tell future generations the story of our silence, that we stood by and did nothing. As Emergency Relief Chief Martin Griffiths told UN News, ‘History is watching.'”
Drake—who is Jewish—recently came under fire for not speaking up as the war raged on. Clearly, signing the letter is his way of doing so. Find more information here.
Ray J has come forward to support Kodak Black, but all is not perfect in his efforts, despite showing concern for the rapper.
Kodak showed up seemingly out of sorts for an interview with Drink Champs. That caused some strife among fans of the show, because they typically talk to more classic Hip-Hop acts. Kodak discussed his controversial collaboration with 6ix9ine and he seemed out of it, potentially under the influence of drugs.
Ray J expressed his concern for Kodak via Instagram. At the same time, he explained he had a past experience with Yak that was not cool.
Ray J wrote, “Someone needs to step in and ensure he’s okay. This isn’t the Nore interview. We need to support this guy. I once took him to the Trump residence, and his behavior was highly inappropriate. They were displeased with the experience due to his lack of guidance and respect. @wack100, let’s come together to find a way to assist this young man rather than witnessing his self-destructive path.”
Some people on social media expressed that Ray J could’ve easily done his good deeds in private, behind closed doors. Instead, he took it to social media. In the past, Kodak has chastised people like Boosie Badazz for expressing their concern before the world. He has not said anything to Ray J.
Meek Mill seemed less sympathetic toward Kodak Black. Meek said he didn’t even want to be called a rapper thanks to Yak.
“I’m almost hesitant to be associated with the term ‘rapper’ anymore,” Meek stated.
And then Kodak said that 21 Savage switched up on him after doing a project with Drake. 21 only responded with several blue hat emojis, claiming “cap.”
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.
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 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 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.”
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.
RBX, the former Death Row Records inmate and co-founder of DPG, is gearing up for Halloween by dropping his new single, “Picnic Caskets. The bone-chilling track is a preview of his upcoming comeback album, Hibernation Shivers. The song, a horror-core production, was produced by Sccit & Siavash The Grouch. On top of that, the new tune features Memphis legend Project Pat.
“It flowed naturally; no need to push it,” RBX said. “We don’t have to force it; when you’re dealing with the real deal, it falls into place.” Project Pat retorted, “That ‘Candyman‘ collaboration with RBX… it’s a significant fusion of our energies.”
“Picnic Caskets” serves as the third single from Hibernation Shivers. RBX had previously released “Nightstalker,” a single featuring Krayzie Bone of Bone Thugs-n-Harmony, in early July and “Let’s Ride” featuring Sccit & Klientel in early September.
The album boasts an impressive lineup of golden era MC, including MC Eiht, Project Pat, Spice 1, Daz Dillinger, Kurupt, Ras Kass, Krayzie Bone, Crooked I, Cold 187um, Fatlip and more. It’s set to drop next month.
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.
“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. 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.”
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 https://t.co/YZ0owjeCyA
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 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.”
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.
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?

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 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.”
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.
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.”
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 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.
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.
