Tory Lanez Reportedly Wants To Stay In Prison’s General Population

A judge sentenced Daystar “Tory Lanez” Peterson to ten years in a state penitentiary for charges connected to the shooting of fellow Hip-Hop recording artist Megan Thee Stallion.

There have been claims that Tory Lanez fears for his life while locked up in California’s North Kern State Prison. One source told Page Six that the 5’3″ rapper/singer feels like he is an “instant and direct target.”

However, a new article suggests Tory Lanez does not want to be in protective custody. Ceasar McDowell, a representative for the Canadian entertainer, says Lanez is seeking to be part of the prison’s general population.

TMZ reports:

McDowell tells us that Tory’s been fully briefed on prison life from several people in his own world — and, generally speaking, he’s a confident guy. In other words, it sounds like [Lanez] thinks he’d be able to fit right in without any problems.

In addition, McDowell supposedly told the outlet that Tory Lanez hopes to take part in programs and resources provided to gen-pop inmates. These actions could possibly help the 31-year-old felon’s rehabilitation.

On December 23, 2022, a California jury convicted Daystar Peterson of assault with a semiautomatic handgun, having a loaded and unregistered firearm in a vehicle, and gross negligence in discharging his firearm.

Those charges stem from the July 12, 2020 shooting in Hollywood Hills that left Megan Thee Stallion injured. Tory Lanez has maintained his innocence in the case despite Megan publicly naming him as the shooter.

Drakes Takes Aim At Charlamagne Tha God: “Off-Brand Morris Chestnut”

It appears Aubrey Drake Graham will not be sending champagne bottles to Charlamagne Tha God anytime soon. The OVO Sound leader began blasting the media personality on social media.

On the morning of September 25, Drake took to his Instagram Stories to slam Charlamagne Tha God. One post included the Canadian hitmaker essentially calling CTG the Wish version of an actor from Boyz n the Hood.

“In deep thought about how you the off-brand Morris Chestnut,” read Drake’s Instagram Story caption for a photograph of Charlamagne Tha God. He also posted a picture of The Breakfast Club host with a quote that read, “It’s 3 sexual orientations out here.”

The rap superstar, also known as Champagne Papi, may be upset about Charlamagne Tha God’s critique of his “Slime You Out” single featuring SZA. The September 21st edition of The Brilliant Idiots podcast featured CTG giving his take on the collaboration.

“Drake put out a song last Friday and nobody cared,” said Charlamagne Tha God. “It came out last Friday and people just started talking about the lyrics yesterday… That’s not Drake-like. He’s gonna be fine regardless.”

There has been tension between Drake and Charlamagne Tha God in the past. Drake once called CTG a “loser” in a 2011 interview. Charlamagne also referred to Drizzy as a “corny guy” that same year. They seemed to reconcile during Meek Mill’s beef with Drake.

“I wanna see my n##### go insane. You gon’ make me step out of my f#####’ frame, you gon’ make me buy bottles for Charlamagne,” rapped Drake on 2015’s “Back to Back” diss directed at Meek Mill.

Drake reportedly sent Charlamagne Tha God six bottles of Dom Pérignon after the “Back to Back” lyrics became a meme on the internet. Charlamagne also shared a card supposedly from the Views album creator that read, “Let’s be friends, Aubrey Graham.”

Doja Cat’s “Scarlet” Projected To Sell Under 60K First-Week Units

Doja Cat released one of the most commercially successful singles of 2023. “Paint The Town Red” peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, but that hit record may not be enough to pull in big numbers for her Scarlet album.

According to HitsDailyDouble, Scarlet is on pace to debut with 50,000 to 55,000 first-week units. These projected numbers won’t be confirmed until the official Billboard 200 chart comes out next week.

If Doja Cat’s Scarlet only moves around 55,000 units, that would be a significant decrease from the opening numbers for 2021’s Planet Her, which launched at No. 2 with more than 109,000 units.

Planet Her went on to spend 116 weeks on the Billboard 200 chart. The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) certified Doja Cat’s third studio LP as 2x-platinum.

Doja Cat also earned a 2x-platinum plaque from the RIAA for 2019’s Hot Pink album. After peaking at No. 9, Hot Pink remained on the Billboard 200 for 155 weeks.

Hot Pink and Planet Her helped establish Doja as a mainstream recording artist. The SZA-assisted “Kiss Me More” single off Planet Her won a Grammy Award for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance.

However, Doja Cat later downplayed the artistic merit of her second and third studio LPs. Earlier this year, she told her own fans that both projects were essentially just a means to make money.

“Planet Her and Hot Pink were cash-grabs and y’all fell for it. Now I can go disappear somewhere and touch grass with my loved ones on an island while y’all weep for mediocre Pop,” stated Doja.

Scarlet dropped on September 22. The album hosts singles such as “Paint the Town Red,” “Attention,” and “Demons.” Doja Cat performed a well-received medley of her songs at the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards.

Nostalgia, Rod Wave’s fifth studio LP, is presently the most popular album in America. His latest project debuted at No. 1 on this week’s Billboard 200 chart with more than 137,000 total album-equivalent units in its opening week.

With 188 million first-week streams, Nostalgia racked up roughly 135,000 streaming equivalent album units. That sum gives Wave the third-largest debut streaming week for an R&B/Hip-Hop album in 2023.

Nostalgia‘s launch at No. 1 puts Rod Wave’s total of Billboard 200 chart-toppers at three. The St. Petersburg, Florida native previously led the tally with 2021’s SoulFly and 2022’s Beautiful Mind.

SoulFly opened at No. 1 with 130,000 units. Beautiful Mind amassed 115,000 units for a No. 1 start. He also made it into the Top 10 region with 2019’s Ghetto Gospel (No. 9) and 2020’s Pray 4 Love (No. 2).

Nostalgia arrived on September 15 via Alamo Records. The 55-minute project features a guest appearance by Atlanta-bred rapper 21 Savage on the “Turks & Caicos” track.

Rod Wave’s “Fight The Feeling” single from Nostalgia peaked at No. 16 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. “Call Your Friends” rose to No. 26 while “Come See Me” topped off at No. 56.

Additionally, Wave announced the “My Nostalgia Tour” which begins on October 19 in Lincoln, Nebraska. The 25-year-old headliner will have Ari Lennox, Toosii, G Herbo and EELmatic serve as openers.

Plies has ramped up his playful obsession with Britney Spears up a notch after the pop princess shared a raunchy new video. 

The Florida-bred rapper has been thirsting over the “Baby One More Time” hitmaker on social media recently, posting his reaction to her dancing videos. He’s given her pet nicknames while sharing his commentary, and now he’s comparing Spears to Beyoncé.

Rick Ross Reveals He Never Touched The First Million He Got From Jay-Z At Def Jam 

By: London Jennn Updated Category: News

While Rick Ross is a multi-millionaire mogul with a net worth estimated at anywhere between $45 million to $150 million, the business-savvy rapper revealed he saved his first seven-figure check when he signed to Def Jam. 

The Maybach Music founder reflected on the early days of his career in a new interview, revealing what it felt like to earn his first million dollars. However, Rick Ross claims that by the time he reached his goal of making a million, he was already over it.  

According to Rozay, he got his first “mil ticket” when he signed with Def Jam from Jay-Z and L.A. Reid, who were president and CEO/Chairman at the time.  

“I got a mil ticket off the rip,” he explained during an interview with the Daily Deposits Miami podcast earlier this month. “So when I got it, the plan changed right then. Because it was one time when my goal was to get a mil. Rozay wanted to be a millionaire.”  

However, Rick Ross claimed he upped his goal once he realized he would reach his target by signing with Def Jam. 

Rick Ross Upped His Goal To $5 Million

“F### a mil,” he continued. “You got that right off the rip, you got to readjust this s###. Now it’s five [million]. 

The check left Ross “so motivated, so inspired” that he refused to spend the money. “I aint even touch that, I aint even buy a car,” he said.

“I just wanted to stack money,” Rick Ross shared adding, “I had a hit record, I was doing shows. This all new to me. You’ve got to remember, right before this I had done been making music 15 years and ain’t got nothing really from it.” 

Check out the interview below. 

Although Ross saved that first million, he has gone on to splash his hard-earned cash. Among his major purchases is a $35 million home on Miami Beach’s exclusive Star Island, which he bought earlier this year. He added the mansion to a growing portfolio that also includes his Atlanta, Georgia Estate, The Promise Land.

Despite their apparent reconciliation last week, Blueface and Chrisean Rock are back feuding again, and this time the “Thotiana” hitmaker has left social media users stunned after sharing a nude photo of their newborn son to expose his alleged medical issue. 

On Sunday night (September 24), the Compton, California native blasted his ex online in a liquor-fuelled rant that saw him calling on Lil Baby to “adopt” the reality TV starlet and take her off his hands.  

However, things took a bizarre turn when he claimed their newborn son has a hernia and posted a nude photo of the little one’s genitalia to expose his alleged medical issue. Blueface also accused Chrisean Rock of pushing back surgery and missing medical appointments to treat their baby.  

“BRO YOU EXPOSED A BABY. ARE YOU WEIRD?” wrote one social media user, expressing the sentiments of many who saw the image.  

Nonetheless, Blueface has no regrets, replying, “It’s my baby so what squabble up.” 

He then shared a series of posts blaming the infant’s alleged health issues on Chrisean Rock drinking, smoking and being with other men throughout her pregnancy.  

Nonetheless, folks on social media were horrified that Blueface shared the nude image of the baby, with many calling for his arrest. 

“Blueface yo b#### ass did not have to expose his son like that,” wrote one user who also criticized Rock. “We get it. Chrisean is a horrible mother. Don’t put your son business out there though. And Chrisean you dizzy B#### you had that baby outside KNOWING he has health issues. B#### you don’t deserve the mommy title.” 

“Blueface you better get bail and legal team money together,” added another. “We can’t let this slide. And Chrisean count your days…”

Usher Reveals Getting “The JAY-Z Call” Was As Mysterious & Legendary As You’d Imagine

Yes, it’s true that JAY-Z and Roc Nation have tapped Usher to take the stage at Allegiant Stadium as the headliner for the Apple Music Super Bowl LVIII Halftime Show on February 11, 2024.

While discussing the details of his upcoming blockbuster performance in a recent interview, Usher spoke about the moment he got the call from Hov giving him the green light for the big day. While it’s not exactly how I envisioned the JAY-Z call would be—it still seems really f###ing cool, especially from the perspective of a 30-year vet.

“Oh, man, I didn’t… Well, I mean, you know, me and the big homie [JAY-Z], we talk often,” Usher said in part. “But when I got this call… he said, ‘It’s time, it’s magic time. You know, it’s time for you to have that moment.'”

Though initially confused, Usher eventually caught on as he continued, “I’m like, ‘What are you talking about?’ he’s like ‘The Super Bowl.’ I’m like, ‘Oh, you ready? Absolutely.'” And of course Usher was in agreement with with JAY-Z’s proposition. “But no question, yeah,” Usher said before adding, “And it was like this was destined to happen.”

To be honest, I had always imagined getting the JAY-Z call would play out in some sort of covert scenario. I always pictured you answering some mysterious no-caller ID number mid-day and immediately hearing some indiscernible Reasonable Doubt song playing softly in the background while HOV starts talking business immediately. A random direct deposit notification arrives simultaneously as digital NDA contracts hit your email. You know, real corporate thuggin’ thyp ish. Nevertheless, this is stil pretty cool.

Y’all think Usher can top Rihanna’s solo smoke show of a performance from last year?

Pharrell Williams Launches New Recording Studio – At Louis Vuitton Headquarters

By: AllHipHop Staff Updated Category: News

Pharrell Williams built a recording studio at the Louis Vuitton headquarters in Paris so he could go back and forth between making clothes and producing music.

The “Happy” hitmaker was appointed the men’s creative director of the French luxury fashion house in February and presented his first collection during Men’s Fashion Week in June.

While Pharrell Williams has an enormous new role, Pharrell has not given up on his love of music, and he built a recording area in the Louis Vuitton studio so he could pursue both of his passions.

“I go back and forth between music and clothes,” he told GQ. “Songs and shoes, accessories and harmonies. And it’s one fluid thing.”

The 50-year-old shared that his time in Paris has been very productive for him musically and he has finished three albums’ worth of songs since he arrived in France.

His collaborator, Pusha T, has seen Pharrell Williams switch between his music and fashion roles seamlessly in the brand’s HQ.

“He’s the true definition of a multitasker,” the rapper praised. “The way that he can divert his focus and pivot at the drop of a dime is awesome. We’re in there working on music, a meeting comes up, it’s about color palettes or anything, he leaves the studio, walks right into the war room and gives it his all. Just the way that he can give direction, opinion, very well thought out at the drop of a dime.”

In a separate interview with The New York Times Style Magazine, Pharrell explained that he doesn’t see much difference between making music and creating clothes.

“Being a producer and a creative director are similar. I can go from apparel to drums, from trunks to melodies. Within my design studio, I have a section allocated to music, so I go back and forth all day,” he stated.

The alleged 1,000-year-old alien mummy corpses discovered in Peru have reportedly undergone extensive lab testing and the results are in—they are 100 percent non-human beings.

Mexican doctors allegedly examined the remains of two deceased aliens allegedly recovered in Cusco, Peru just days after they were displayed before Congress during an intense hearing in which a UFO expert Jaime Maussan testified. At the time of the hearing, Maussan claimed that the two mummified alien corpses he presented weren’t native to “our terrestrial evolution.” Maussan also claimed nearly a third of the corpses DNA remains “Unknown.”

Now it appears those suspicions have been confirmed. Both of the corpses had full CT scans and X-rays revealing the remains are actually believed to be up to 1800 years old. Mexican forensics specialist Dr. Jose de Jesus Salce also claims the corpses belong to a “One skeleton family” and show no signs of human manipulation. Just when you thought it couldn’t get any spookier, it just did!

Sean “Diddy” Combs has revealed that he still has “a lot of things” he wants to do in his career.

During an interview with Billboard, the 53-year-old made it clear that he still has many goals on his career to-do list after years of not releasing solo music.

“I’m a 26-year-old in a 53-year-old body,” Diddy told the publication with a laugh. “There are still a lot of things I want to do on my Diddy list. So yeah, I’m back. Just in my bag and having fun. Whenever it feels like work, I’ll leave.”

The music icon released his first solo album in 17 years, titled The Love Album: Off the Grid, on September 15. Ahead of the release, Diddy was honored with the Global Icon Award at the MTV Video Music Awards.

Elsewhere in the interview, the musician said that his other focus is on “empowering Black minds.”

“I’m about empowering Black minds, Black ideas, Black businesses. That’s my focus,” Diddy stated. “I used to be looking for the next Biggie (The Notorious B.I.G.). Now I’m looking for the next entrepreneur that I can help support through resources and knowledge. My purpose has leveled up.”

The rapper’s Sean Combs Foundation recently donated $1 million to Jackson State University, which is a historically Black university.

Additionally, Diddy announced a $1 million investment fund in partnership with Earn Your Leisure founders Rashad Bilal and Troy Millings to provide a practical model for economic empowerment in Black communities.

Ruff Ryder Drag-On Challenges Pitbull Over Battle “Lies”

By: illseed Updated Category: Rumors
Preferred Source Publisher Button>

Drag-On wants to battle Reggaeton’s finest Pitbull! One thing people forget is that Pitbull started out as a pure rapper. Later, he switched to a more suitable art form in Reggaeton. I am not sure where this recent interview occurred, but Pitbull said he busted the former Ruff Ryders rapper in a rap battle. This happened many moons ago, but many say it paved the way for Pitbull’s massive success. Over the weekend, Drag-On said he has had enough.

Drag-On took to Instagram! He addressed this malarky being spewed by the Miami pop star. He replied, “Pitbull, I’ve witnessed you fabricate stories for over 15 years about our supposed battle, which you claim to have won [laughing emoji]. I was shooting a video with DMX (who showed no love for me), and they urged me to step outside to hear you rap and collaborate.” Drag stressed it was not a battle!

Here is the whole unedited statement:

A @pitbull , iv been watching you tell lies for over 15 years about how you battled me and won 😂😂 ,, first off , I was shooting a video with DMX ( no love for me ) and they begged me to come out side to hear you and spit with you ,, I didn’t even want to come out there and I shouldn’t of , but I did, , that was not a battle at all and you know this.. don’t let this nig% @irvgotti187 pump you up to get smoked ,, i don’t know why you have been saying you got on through me because you have been VERY successful – now you even added more lies to the story 😂 ,, Iv battled real nig%s with REAL BARS,, so now you have my undivided attention!! – so check this out – if you mention my name one more time in a disrespectful way you will be my next PART 47- I will dedicate that one to you and @irvgotti187 with no problem – I do NOT bother no one but you keep messing with me – why ? I know ima bar trophy to some of you rappers- and before you respond go watch my other freestyle parts & see if you want this smoke ,, on my mama I will smoke you pitbull- and I like mixing my weed up anyway –

Can you see these dudes battling NOW? No. Those days are beyond long gone and Pitbull has way too much bread to be in that mud. Drag is still out here spitting flames like an actual dragon. So, I did a bit of looking and this feud stems from Pitbull’s recent appearance on Kevin Hart’s Gold Minds show. As is the case with many shows, Pitbull recollected this old “battle” from the late 1990s. Pitbull rememberd the events, including his introduction to DMX’s video shoot and the situatioin with Drag. He specifically stated Drag-On used pre-written verses and says he was disqualified. So, Pitbull claims this victory got the attention of Irv Gotti, who encouraged Pitbull to transition into songwriting. THAT is how he says it changed his life.

I do not think much will come out of this, but I’ll wait and see for you that are holding your breath. LOL!

Megan Thee Stallion has detailed her typical workout routine.

During a recent interview with Billboard, the 28-year-old rapper revealed that she uses exercise to relieve her stress.

“Physical fitness helps me with my mental (health). If I feel like I’m a little stressed or I’m a little whatever I’m feeling that day, I know I can go let it out in the gym, and it helps me clear my mind,” Megan told the publication.

Sharing her favorite workouts, she continued, “I love boxing. I love anything HIIT (high-intensity interval training)-wise. I love pushing myself. When I’m in the gym, I’m like, ‘Girl, if you can’t do two more squats, I don’t know if you’re gonna be able to handle two more comments!'”

Megan Thee Stallion noted that while she is pushing her body at the gym, she is also pushing herself mentally.

“To get yourself out the bed in the morning or whatever part of the day, even if you don’t have time to work out in the morning, if you push yourself to finish your day and go to the gym, I feel like it’s all mental,” the Savage hitmaker continued. “And I feel like you feel like, ‘Oh my gosh, I did it,’ and now you can reward yourself. Working out just feels super rewarding. I feel very accomplished after I work out.”

Elsewhere in the interview, Megan Thee Stallion shared that while she was shooting her new music video Bongos alongside Cardi B, she had to start her glam at 3 a.m.

“Baby, I will start my glam at 3 in the morning to do my first shot at like 8 or 9, and sometimes it didn’t even happen at 8 or 9,” she revealed. “If I’m up at 3 in the morning, I’m probably shooting at 3 p.m.! Like goddang! But it was a great time though.”

Krayzie Bone Of Bone Thugs-N-Harmony Reportedly Fighting For His Life At L.A. Hospital

Krayzie Bone of Bone Thugs-n-Harmony is reportedly in the hospital fighting for his life. According to inside sources, Krayzie checked himself into a Los Angeles area hospital on Friday (September 22) after he started coughing up large amounts of blood. Krayzie suffers from sarcoidosis, an inflammatory disease in which the immune system overreacts, causing groups of cells to form clusters of inflamed tissue called “granulomas” in one or more organs of the body.

After Krayzie Bone underwent a cat scan, doctors discovered an artery was leaking inside one of his lungs. He underwent immediate surgery, but the bleeding didn’t stop. As of Sunday (September 23), Kray is purportedly on a breathing machine and sedated. Bizzy Bone took to his Instagram Stories with a simple message: “Pray 4 Kray.” He added, “Can’t sleep. Sometimes you just gotta pray.”

Sources added he quit smoking a few months ago, which seemed to signal something was awry. The troubling news is starting to spread on Twitter, with many sending their good energy Krayzie’s way.

https://www.instagram.com/p/Cw9hAgkOn2w/?hl=en

Bone Thugs has had an epic year thus far. On August 11—the official 50th anniversary of Hip-Hop—Bone Thugs returned to their hometown of Cleveland, Ohio, where the intersection of E. 99th Street and St. Clair Avenue was renamed “Bone Thugs-n-Harmony Way.” The following day (August 12), Bone Thugs hit the stage during the Glenville Festival at Sam Miller Park then joined LL COOL J for The F.O.R.C.E. Tour at the Rocket Mortgage Field House.

“With Hip-Hop, I’ve been blessed to be here,” Krayzie told AllHipHop at the time. “To be here at the beginning, to watch and see every phase that it’s went through, I’m excited to see what the next 50 years is going to bring. Hip-Hop is definitely here to stay as a music genre, but it’s still so young.

“I just want to see Hip-Hop mature and be more kind and respectful to the artists that carry this genre. I want to see a balance between artists and corporations. It’s still young, but it needs to mature a lot. We need to realize and understand how to treat all legends like other genres of music.”

Prayers up for Krayzie Bone. AllHipHop sends all of our love and support.

Lil Kim has responded to criticism over her most recent magazine cover. The 49-year-old rapper posed for this month’s cover for Ebony Magazine, which caused a stir as many believed the photo was heavily edited.

The cover image shows Lil Kim sitting on the floor wearing a pink silk dress with a matching scarf draped over her head and shoulders. The look was completed with a glamorous crown.

Soon after the cover was unveiled in early September, many criticized the image for being airbrushed, and some oven wondered if it was created with AI (artificial intelligence) technology.

One X/Twitter user said, “This retouch is so bad, I thought it was AI. Somebody pls tell me it is. QUICKLY.”

Lil Kim took to her Instagram Stories to address the cover, writing, “Who is this?! Cuz that’s not the photo I approved or any other content they’ve put out.”

Lil Kim continued, “I always told Ebony it looked like a painting but they didn’t wanna listen. They said they loved it. It’s the sabotage for me. The funny s**t about this, is that this is their retoucher!

The legendary rapper appeared to be responding to Ebony’s photography director who shot the cover, Keith Major, who had previously stated of the picture, “Man, she wanted to be in control of the retouching so this is what we got.”

The National Football League and Roc Nation have announced Usher as the Apple Music Super Bowl Halftime Show LVIII performer. According to HITS Daily Double, inside sources confirmed the news over the weekend. Chatter surrounding who will take the iconic stage has been swirling for months. Initially, fans thought Miley Cyrus and Harry Styles were slated to perform—but that notion was quickly nixed. Then rumors *NSYNC, Destiny’s Child and Backstreet Boys were reunited for the Big Game, but those have been debunked as well.

The NFL made it official on Sunday morning (September 23) with a tweet that read, “USHER. LAS VEGAS. APPLE MUSIC HALFTIME SHOW.”

Usher has had an incredible year thus far. His Las Vegas residency, Usher: My Way the Vegas Residency, began last July and was so popular, he needed to add more dates. The final Park MGM shows will be held from November 3 to December 2, while limited tickets remain for Usher’s performances in October.

As for the Super Bowl, the Big Game takes place on February 11 at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.

President Joe Biden Catches Heat For Calling LL COOL J “Boy” During Train Wreck Speech

LL COOL J and MC Lyte were honored with the Phoenix Award during the annual awards dinner in Washington D.C. on Saturday (September 22). The event took place at CBC’s 52nd Annual Legislative Conference with President Joe Biden in tow. One particular clip from the soirée is going viral.

At one point, Biden got up to deliver a speech about both Hip-Hop artists and fumbled LL COOL J’s name—but then it got worse.

“Two of the great artists of our time representing the groundbreaking legacy of Hip-Hop in America , LL Jay Cool J, uhhh…” he said as the crowd laughed at the gaffe. “By the way that boy — that man’s got biceps bigger than my thighs.”

Of course, social media blew up with reactions to Biden’s blunder. One person wrote, “While speaking the black caucus joe Biden referred to legend MC LL Cool J as “Boy” and the black caucus laughed. Biden is the racist Malcolm X fought against,” while another said, “Cracked Segregationist Joe Biden calls rapper LL Cool J ‘boy.’ Old habits die hard. But it won’t matter. Democrats are the party of slavery, Jim Crow etc and the black community, victims of their destructive policies, continue to vote for these villains.”

Referring to an adult Black man as “boy” is historically racist. In the 1930s, a young Martin Luther King Jr. was sitting in the passenger seat of his father’s car when his dad accidentally ran a stop sign on a Georgia street. As King recalled in an essay, “A policeman pulled up to the car and said: ‘All right, boy, pull over and let me see your license. My father replied indignantly, ‘I’m no boy.’ Then, pointing to me, ‘This is a boy. I am a man, and until you call me one, I will not listen to you.”

Once King became a civil rights activist writing from a Birmingham, Alabama jail cell, he would point to the word “boy” as one of Jim Crow’s ritual humiliations, braided into the racial etiquette of the post-slavery South. He noted it was yet another way that white people weaponized language to remind Black people of their place.

Twitter (X) exploded with memes after Biden’s clip went viral. Check out a few of the reactions below.
