The Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday. That basketball game included an on-court verbal exchange between Lakers guard Patrick Beverley and Blazers guard Damian Lillard.

Patrick Beverley and Damian Lillard’s personal back-and-forth did not end once the final buzzer sounded. The two NBA players’ bad blood continued to play out over several days through the media and online.

“If he would have cooked me you would have said, ‘I couldn’t guard him.’ But he misses a couple of shots and it’s a ‘slow shooting night,'” responded Beverley at a post-game press conference when asked about Lillard.

Beverley added, “Always good to see Dame. Hell of a point guard in this league. His ability to shoot it from the logo puts pressure on your defense.” However, those compliments did not stop Lillard from firing back on Twitter.

Damian Lillard Calls Patrick Beverley A “Con Man”

Damian Lillard quote-tweeted a video of Patrick Beverley’s post-game comments. The Big D.O.L.L.A. album creator added his own commentary about the three-time NBA All-Defensive Team member.

“Con man. Flip from above the rim,” tweeted Lillard on Monday. His social media clapback amassed over 6,000 retweets, 46,000 likes, and 15 million views on the platform.

The 1994 film Above The Rim featured the late comedian Bernie Mac as Flip, a homeless former high school basketball player. Someone even edited the Above The Rim Wikipedia page to read that Flip is “loosely based on Patrick Beverley, who looks like a homeless crackhead.”

Lillard Had A Rough Shooting Night Against Beverley’s Lakers

Patrick Beverley made his way to Twitter too. The former SEC Freshman of the Year kept it short with his response to Damian Lillard by simply tweeting, “He mad. Entertaining.”

More than 28,000 accounts hit the like button on Beverley’s tweet about Lillard. That three-word statement also garnered 2000 retweets and 3.4 million views on Twitter.

Damian Lillard scored 24 points on 5-17 shooting during Portland’s January 22 home loss to the Lakers. The rapper also known as Dame D.O.L.L.A finished the game with a plus-minus of -13. Meanwhile, Patrick Beverley maintained a +27 plus-minus stat.

Beyoncé Knowles-Carter faces backlash for her concert in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Some members of the LGBTQ community and their allies took issue with Beyoncé performing in a nation with anti-same-sex laws.

One of Beyoncé’s family members is defending the Renaissance album creator’s decision to perform a private show for Dubai’s new Atlantis The Royal Resort. TMZ caught up with her father, Mathew Knowles, to address the negative reactions.

According to the celebrity news website, Mathew Knowles believes his daughter united a diverse crowd and brought people closer together. Beyoncé’s former manager also insisted the entertainment megastar would never intentionally cause anyone harm.

Mathew Knowles was not the only high-profile person to show public support for Beyoncé following online criticism. LGBTQ media personality Ts Madison also championed the 28-time Grammy winner on Twitter.

“So y’all gone be mad at @Beyonce when she [performs] on her tour in those US States that have [anti-LGBTQ] laws in place? Or are you gone still get your tickets? The selective outrage is workin my #cozy nerves,” tweeted Ts Madison on January 23.

Mathew Knowles also backed up the speculation that Beyoncé is planning to go back on tour. The Dubai appearance was Bey’s first official headlining show since 2018. That year saw her perform at the On the Run II Tour with Jay-Z, the Coachella Festival, and the Global Citizen Festival.

There were reports claiming Beyoncé made $24 million for her invite-only Atlantis The Royal Resort performance. Mathew Knowles, Bey’s mother Tina Knowles, and her husband Jay-Z as well as their children, Blue Ivy, Rumi, and Sir Carter were in the audience.

Beyoncé released Renaissance in July 2022. The American singer/songwriter’s seventh studio LP debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart with 332,000 first-week units. Renaissance hosts the Hot 100 Top 10 singles “Break My Soul” and “Cuff It.”

SZA’s ‘SOS’ Spends Most Weeks At No. 1 For An R&B Album Since Usher’s ‘Confessions’

Every week SZA cements her name in the record books next to R&B legends thanks to her critically-acclaimed SOS studio LP.

Last week, SZA reached the 1990s-era Billboard 200 chart milestones of notable performers TLC and Mariah Carey. This week, the Top Dawg Entertainment songstress achieved a feat not seen since Usher Raymond in the mid-2000s.

SOS remained atop the most recent Billboard 200 rankings for a sixth consecutive week. SZA became the first R&B act, male or female, to control that album chart at least six times since Usher’s 2004 classic Confessions.

SZA will have to place in the pole position three more times to accomplish the nine-nonconsecutive-week reign of Confessions. She already matched the last time a female R&B singer pulled off a six-week run at No. 1 – Carey’s Daydream in 1995/1996.

In addition, SOS is the first female R&B album to spend its first six weeks at No. 1 since Janet Jackson’s janet thirty years ago. SZA also joined Adele and Taylor Swift as the only women to have an album spend at least six weeks at No. 1 in the last thirteen years.

SOS brought in additional 119,000 equivalent album units in week six of its release. The SOS track “Kill Bill” is also performing well on the Billboard Hot 100. “Kill Bill” has already peaked at #2 on that weekly chart.

SZA earned her first Number One on the Billboard 200 with SOS. Previously, the New Jersey native made it to No. 3 with 2017’s Ctrl. The 33-year-old vocalist’s 3x-Platinum debut album has remained on the Billboard 200 for over 290 weeks.

Hip Hop superstar Drake took over Harlem’s Apollo Theater over the weekend. The special two-night event made headlines for several reasons, including a scary moment involving a fan.

Someone inside the Apollo that night fell from the venue’s balcony as Drake brought 21 Savage out to the stage. The Canadian rapper/singer stopped his show to make sure the person was not badly injured.

News of the falling incident at Drake’s concert went viral on social media. The Apollo Theater has now released an official statement about the potentially dangerous circumstance.

“Unfortunately, last evening an incident occurred with an audience member who landed in the orchestra from the lower mezzanine,” reads The Apollo’s message. “Drake, Apollo, and SiriusXM halted the show immediately when learning of a potential fan injury and standard protocols were taken.”

The historic NYC music hall’s statement continued, “They were seen immediately by EMS on site. The fan and other audience members reported that they were ok. The Apollo is investigating the situation further.”

Drake’s Apollo show will air on his SiriusXM channel Sound 42. In addition to 21 Savage joining the OVO Sound leader to run through songs, celebrities such as Justin Bieber, A$AP Ferg, Kevin Durant, and Odell Beckham Jr. were in attendance.

At one point during the concert on Sunday, Drake teased a 2023 summer tour with 21 Savage. The two performers joined forces to release 2022’s Her Loss album which debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 chart in November.

An 18-year-old man has been charged with murder in connection with a shooting at a youth organization that left two teenage students and a teacher injured.

Cops describe the incident as a targeted shooting at a Des Moines, Iowa, non-profit organization educational program designed to keep at-risk youth away from trouble.  

According to various reports, the injured teacher has been identified as the Starts Right Here program’s founder, William Holmes. The 49-year-old is also a rapper who left a life of gangs and violence to dedicate his time to helping youth in Des Moines. 

Two male teenagers aged 18 years old and 16 years old were killed in the attack. 

The alleged shooter was identified as student Preston Walls. He has been charged with two counts of murder and one count of attempted murder. Two others remain in custody.  

According to police, the shooting was the result of an “ongoing gang dispute.” Walls was on supervised release for a weapons charge. He removed his ankle monitor 16 minutes prior to the shooting before entering the school with a gun. Holmes was attempting to escort him out of the building when Walls allegedly began shooting.

“The incident was definitely targeted. It was not random. There was nothing random about this,” Sgt. Paul Parizek said. 

William Holmes, who also goes by the stage name Will Keeps, was in surgery Monday evening. His Starts Right Here program helps at-risk youth in grades 9-12 and is affiliated with the Des Moines school district. 

“The school is designed to pick up the slack and help the kids who need help the most,” Parizek said. 

Gov. Kim Reynolds, who serves on an advisory board for Starts Right Here, said she was “shocked and saddened to hear about the shooting.”  

“I’ve seen first-hand how hard Will Keeps and his staff works to help at-risk kids through this alternative education program,” Reynolds said in a statement. “My heart breaks for them, these kids and their families.” 

Beyoncé Under Fire From LGBTQ Advocates Over $24M Show In Dubai 

By: London Jennn Updated Category: News

Beyoncé has been heavily criticized by some fans over her decision to perform in Dubai last weekend despite the country’s strict laws against same-sex relationships. 

The megastar headlined the private $24 million concert in Dubai to mark the opening of luxury hotel Atlantis The Royal, her first live performance in five years.  

However, her performance drew a mixed response. Some fans were thrilled to see Queen Bey return, while others were disappointed with her decision to perform in a country where same-sex sexual activity is punishable by death. 

Beyoncé‘s latest album Renaissance was celebrated for “honoring black queer culture” and taking inspiration from LGBT icons. The album was dedicated in part to her late gay Uncle Johnny and members of the LGBTQ community.  

Bev Jackson, co-founder of LGB Alliance, said the performance “casts a shadow over her support for lesbians and gay people.”  

She told The Telegraph on Sunday: “Beyoncé is a huge icon for many gay people. LGB Alliance is deeply therefore disappointed that Beyoncé has agreed to give a lucrative concert in Dubai, where same-sex sex acts are a criminal offense, potentially punishable by death.” 

Some fans on social media also expressed dismay over her choice of venue.  

“I love Bey, but you can’t release a statement album like Renaissance, celebrating LGBTQ+ community and then perform in a country that criminalizes and kills LGBTQ+. I love her still but she deserves to hear about it.  

https://twitter.com/PurpleeHayzee/status/1617160659719884803?s=20&t=vXLfyR9Xssmk0SLAsGdOHQ

“idk, if I already had $500 million, I don’t think an additional $35 million would be enough money for me to go perform the album I dedicated to my gay uncle in a country where being gay is still punishable by death,” Inside Hook Managing Editor Bonnie Stiernberg tweeted. 

However, others, including LGBT activist Ts Madison, suggested fans were singling out Beyoncé, pointing to U.S. states with ani LQBTQ laws. 

“So y’all gone be mad At @Beyonce when she Perform on her tour in those US States that have anti LGBTQ laws in place? Or are you gone still get your tickets?” Madison questioned before adding, “The selective outrage is workin my #cozy nerves.”

Shreveport, Louisiana native Dee Ross is proving that you don’t have to come from a privileged background to make it in the music industry. The young artist, who began winning local rapping contests for cash at a young age, is now based in Houston and making waves with his unique blend of storytelling and raw emotion.

Growing up in the poverty-stricken and crime-ridden Allendale area, Ross found inspiration in the struggles he faced on a daily basis. He began penning poetry about his experiences, which ultimately led to a passion for music. Despite the distractions of his teenage years, including friends going to jail and even being murdered, Ross never let go of his dream.

Starting off recording songs in a friend’s closet in Shreveport, Ross never stepped foot in a professional studio until he moved to Houston. It was there that he caught the attention of major record labels like “Rap-A-Lot” and began to make a name for himself in the industry.

In 2015, Ross released his first single, “City on My Back,” which gained the city’s attention and motivated him to keep pushing forward. He followed that up with the release of his debut EP, “ForeverReal,” in 2019, and its sequel, “ForeverReal 2,” later that year. 2020 saw the release of “Forever Dangerous,” which included the hit track “I Wonder Why,” which received radio play and reached the top of the charts.

With over 250k streams on Spotify, Ross is quickly becoming a household name. He’s even got his own fashion brand, 4everReal.com, where fans can purchase his gear. When asked about who he’d like to collaborate with in the industry, Ross stated that he’d love to work with Yo Gotti or Lil Boosie, as he feels like his music would fit right in with their style. In addition to his regular performances, he has also been embarking on tours in various cities such as Las Vegas, Atlanta, and several others.

With his laid-back attitude and undeniable talent, Dee Ross is proving that you don’t have to come from a fancy neighborhood to make it big in the music industry. He’s rapping his way out of the hood and into the charts, one verse at a time.

I posted a pic (not my mom) of me and my mama badu in some cute form fitting pants,” Puma wrote on IG. “I’m an adult. What’s the real issue? Let’s discuss.”

Tiffany Haddish Gets Ripped To Shreds For ‘Girls Trip 2’ Appearance

A woman dismissed her child sexual abuse lawsuit against Tiffany Haddish, but the controversy still looms over her career.

Tracy Oliver, the co-writer of Girls Trip, revealed the main cast is coming back for a sequel in an interview with Variety. The cast includes Queen Latifah, Regina Hall, Jada Pinkett Smith and Tiffany Haddish.

The return of Tiffany Haddish did not sit well with many social media users. Twitter was filled with outrage and jokes about her appearing in Girls Trip 2.

Some fans expressed their disinterest in the sequel due to the comedian’s involvement. Others called for her role to be recast.

A Jane Doe sued Tiffany Haddish and Aries Spears in 2022, accusing the two of child molestation and grooming. The lawsuit brought attention to an old sketch titled “Through a Pedophile’s Eyes” starring the two comedians. The skit featured Jane Doe’s younger brother, who was 7 years old at the time.

Tiffany Haddish said she regretted appearing in the video. Jane Doe dropped her lawsuit a few weeks after filing it.

“My family and I have known Tiffany Haddish for many years – and we now know that she would never harm me or my brother or help anyone else do anything that could harm us,” Jane Doe said. “We wish Tiffany the best and are glad that we can all put this behind us.”

But many fans weren’t willing to let the actress off the hook.

Jay-Z & Yo Gotti Drop Lawsuit Against Infamous Mississippi Prison

By: Justin Ivey Updated Category: News

Jay-Z, Yo Gotti and Team Roc believe a notorious Mississippi prison significantly improved its treatment of inmates.

According to NBC, Team Roc dismissed its federal lawsuit against the Mississippi Department of Corrections over the inhumane conditions at Parchman prison. Jay-Z and Yo Gotti pursued legal action on behalf of more than 200 prisoners in 2020.

“We are pleased with the changes made to date and the improvements in the day-to-day lives of the guys inside,” Team Roc’s attorney Jordan Siev told NBC. “But we’re also cognizant of the fact that Parchman has had a long history of lawsuits, improvements and then backsliding conditions.”

Jay-Z and Yo Gotti raised concerns about the prison’s safety and inability to provide proper medical treatment. Their efforts led to a federal investigation. The Justice Department determined the prison’s conditions violated the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments of the U.S. Constitution.

Parchman inmates received some relief thanks to Jay-Z and Yo Gotti’s awareness campaign. The prison upgraded its facilities enough to convince Team Roc to drop the lawsuit.

“We have and will continue to make diligent efforts to improve the quality of life for all individuals in the custody of the MDOC and provide them with opportunities to successfully return to their communities,” the Mississippi Department of Corrections said. “That is our ongoing commitment.”

Jay-Z, Yo Gotti and Team Roc dismissed their case without prejudice. The distinction allows them to refile the lawsuit if necessary.

NYPD Claims Hip-Hop Police Weren’t Monitoring Drake’s Apollo Audience

The New York City Police Department downplayed its apparent surveillance of Drake’s concert at the Apollo Theater.

Jon Caramanica of the New York Times shared a video of an officer filming fans exiting Drake’s show on Saturday (January 21). A spokesperson for the Deputy Commissioner of Public Information denied the footage was evidence of NYPD surveillance on Monday (January 23).

“The officer depicted in the video is a Community Affairs officer involved with the 28th Precinct’s social media team,” the spokesperson told Consequence. “The officer was taking video for an upcoming Twitter post that will highlight local community events. The video will not be utilized for any other reason.”

Drake performed at the Apollo Theater for the first time in his career on Saturday. The music superstar originally intended to make his Apollo debut in November 2022. He postponed the event following Takeoff’s death.

The OVO rapper rescheduled the concert for December 2022 but delayed it again due to production issues. Drake finally hit the Apollo stage over the weekend, performing two shows at the historic venue in Harlem.

Drake paused his second performance after a fan fell from the Apollo’s balcony on Sunday (January 22). The theater announced there were no major injuries on Monday.

Boston Richey Gets A Deal!

This happened a few days ago, but I guess it is worth a mention. Boston Richey has been the talk of town in Hip-Hop. The rapper, who is from Tallahassee Florida, has created quite a splash in the world of rap. He’s gone viral because he reportedly has paperwork on him. A blogger revealed some stuff on the rapper but it hasn’t stopped him from making moves.In fact, it probably has allowed him to flourish even more. He recently signed a deal with Epic Records, the iconic record label.

What I’m finding is that any attention is good attention in the current world of rap. So, the fact that there may be some paperwork or snitching allegations on Boston Richey, it doesn’t take away from the fact that we are simply talking about him. And then talking about him, people know who he is. Knowing the name of a rapper in 2023 is half the battle. So, I hope that it works out for him because if it does not, there could be another type of problem.

But, I doubt it. The streets are dead dead right now. They are so dead there are numerous snitches in rap and they don’t even have any issues. To see 69 running around with all his money probably encourages dudes to know snitches no longer get stitches in the world of Hip-Hop.

Young Thug Co-Defendant Allegedly Spits In Deputy’s Face & Gets Assaulted

By: Justin Ivey Updated Category: News

A lawyer representing one of Young Thug’s co-defendants claimed a deputy assaulted her client on Monday (January 23).

According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, attorney Angela D’Williams said a Fulton County deputy punched her client Rodalius Ryan in the head. The incident occurred amid the jury selection process in Young Thug’s RICO trial.

“I will be filing a formal complaint against the [sheriff’s office] because they are agitating my client on purpose and when he gets to court agitated, they act like they don’t know what’s going on,” D’Williams declared.

Sheriff Pat Labat accused Ryan of spitting in a deputy’s face, per WSB-TV. Ryan allegedly started spitting in the back of a patrol car while awaiting transport from jail to the courthouse.

Ryan was missing when Young Thug and their YSL co-defendants appeared in court on Monday morning. Ryan’s lawyer said he needed medical attention after the alleged assault.

“He was punched in the head and he did fall on the sidewalk,” D’Williams explained. “I wanted him to be checked for a concussion.”

An incident report said Deputy Kandakai Morris instructed Ryan to stop spitting or clean up the mess. The YSL member allegedly responded, “I ain’t cleaning up s###.”

Ryan spit in Morris’ face then the deputy attempted to remove Young Thug’s co-defendant from the vehicle. Ryan refused to exit the car and tried to make it difficult to grab him.

The deputy pulled Ryan out of the vehicle and put him on the ground. Ryan’s lawyer called for an investigation, suggesting the deputy became physical before giving her client a chance to get out of the car on his own.

“All deputies are supposed to wear body cameras,” D’Williams said. “When the discovery comes out, we’ll see the body cameras and we’ll see what happened.”

Ryan is already serving a life sentence for murder. He faces one count of violating Georgia’s RICO act in the case against Young Thug and other YSL members.

“Growing up is realizing Erykah Badu is really a nut and not much of an idol at all,” one person wrote, while another asked, “Wasn’t Erykah Badu slandering young girls showing off their bodies and attracting older men? Her daughter is a teenager (18) and here we are.”

The latter comment refers to a 2016 tweet from Badu that read: “if I had a school I would make sure that the uniform skirt length was a nice knee length… It is fair to everyone.”

Some find to be Badu’s photos hypocritical and accuse her of exploiting her daughter’s sexuality. Others are wondering how Puma’s father, The D.O.C., feels about it. What do you think? Check out some of the comments below.

Doja Cat’s Paris Fashion Week Look Is Blowing Up Twitter, So Is Kylie Jenner’s—But Really, WTF?

Anyone impressed by Doja Cat’s Paris Fashion Week look are probably lying to themselves or so caught up in fandom, they’ve lost all cognitive function. The Grammy Award-winning singer showed up to the Schiaparelli Haute Couture event looking like a bald Flamin’ Hot Cheeto. Covered in more than 30,000 blood-red Swarovski crystals applied over red body paint, Doja Cat waltzed down the red carpet with the confidence of a pageant queen, which is cool in theory. But now she’s an “icon.” She’s a “hero.” She’s bucking beauty standards and throwing caution to the wind.

Hmmm…is that something to applaud instead? I guess. But why, as “normal” people, do we look at something so obviously stupid and still act like it’s the best thing since sliced bread? Comedian James Andre Jefferson Jr. found a clever way to completely rip Doja Cat to shreds under the guise he “wasn’t being misogynistic.”

As he said in the video: “She look like if she was a Fashion Nova mannequin decided to turn into a Blood and start gang banging and whatnot. I get she look like a skinny, tall glass of margaritas. I get that she look like that damn Kool-Aid Man if he decided to lose some weight […] If she want to look like a damn tampon on the heavy days, she could do that!”

At the end of the day, Doja Cat’s outfit did what it was supposed to do—get attention. Same with Kylie Jenner, who truthfully can f### right off for wearing a lion’s head to the same show like she was showing off a trophy kill. Faux or not, it screamed two things: 1. She’s desperate for the spotlight 2. She’s an a######.

Knowing PETA would come for her head, Jenner preemptively posted: “BEAUTY AND THE BEAST. thank you @danielroseberry and @schiaparelli for such a special morning. wow i loved wearing this faux art creation constructed by hand using manmade materials. beautiful beautiful.”

By the way, people can’t stop commenting about the “weird energy” between Jenner and Doja Cat in this clip. Maybe it’s the stupid outfits.

Kid Cudi Explains How Virgil Abloh’s Inspired His MOTR Collection

Kid Cudi has unveiled his very first collection of MOTR products.

The “Confused!” rapper dropped the range at a showroom in Paris on Friday as part of Fashion Week, with the unisex line featuring distressed polos, leather jumpsuits, motorcycle jackets, striped sweaters, and deconstructed tutus.

In an interview for Vogue, Kid Cudi explained that the collection would serve as the MOTR fall and winter 2023 offerings.

He also noted that he had wanted to start the brand around eight years ago but became “discouraged” by the process.

However, Kid Cudi revisited the idea in 2021, shortly before previous collaborator Virgil Abloh passed away.

“There is no way I could have designed this collection without thinking about him every single f**king day,” he said of the late Off-White founder. “Every day, it was like, ‘What would Virgil do? What decision would he make and how would he handle his team? What type of vibe would he have in the office?’”

The star continued, “(Virgil) was the ideal designer, he was the template. He was nice, personable, open and friendly with people on his team, helped other people and lifted other people up, gave them opportunities, left the door open behind him.”
