LeBron has been doing great things in the community. LeBron James has proven himself to be way more than just an athlete. One of his biggest ventures is the “I Promise” school in Akron, Ohio. There is a network of schools with the “I Promise” philosophy and some of the juniors from one of the schools were given the shock of a lifetime. Nearly 200 students, 193 to be exact, were brought on a tour of Kent State University in Ohio. During the trip, the students sat down in the auditorium where they were addressed by some important figures...
DaBaby was just trying to count his money, but a stranger kept disturbing his peace. DaBaby is turning out to be more of a polarizing figure than initially suspected.

Now, we have video evidence of another airport altercation between DaBaby and a stranger, although this time, it...

50 Cent refuses to stop clowning Gayle King and Oprah. 50 Cent has been going after Oprah since it was revealed that she would be producing a documentary about the sexual assault allegations against Russell Simmons. Oprah ended up backing out of the doc, citing “inconsistencies” in the narrative, but it has been speculated that the backlash could have influenced her decision. Given 50’s persistent badgering of Oprah, it came as no surprise when he targeted Gayle King for besmirching the reputation of another prominent black figure, Kobe Bryant. Last week, King became embroiled in controversy after she brought up Bryant’s past rape allegations...

“Dom completely stopped fighting in the championship rounds and has the audacity to be mad at the judges.” UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Jon Jones took to twitter on Tuesday night to respond to Dominick Reyes and other critics who feel that Reyes was ‘robbed’ in the main event of UFC 247.

According to Jones, fight fans shouldn’t be upset with the judges but rather how Reyes “completely stopped...

A thematic exploration of one of hip-hop’s most enduring images, the cover of Nas’ debut album “Illmatic.” Nas’ Illmatic is canon and so is its cover art. The iconic album immediately brings to mind the image of the Queensbridge projects overlaid with a young Nasir Jones’ face. It’s one of those album covers you can recognize in a glance whether it’s a tribute or a spoof. The NFL did a (slightly bizarre) feature visualizing hypothetical album covers, which included an Illmatic treatment of Dez Bryant. So many artists have riffed on Nas’ well-known cover (J. Cole, Lil Wayne, possibly...
