Offset Released From Custody, Claims Mistaken Identity

It was all a misunderstanding. These days, it feels as if police are doubling down on rappers. We’ve recently seen DaBabydeveloping a testy relationship with law enforcement, and last night Offset found himself handcuffed and slammed against a wall by police officers. Though they neglected to inform to the rapper about their reasoning for arresting him, it’s said to have stemmed from the potential threat of an armed man. And though they might have suspected Offset and his entourage over similarities to a witness description, it would appear they have ultimately let him go. While Offset’s legal team has yet to issue an official statement,...

James Corden On Bieber "Carpool Karaoke" Controversy: "It Was A Safety Issue"

“This is a TV show: Not everything is real.” James Corden’s beloved series Carpool Karaoke recently got outed for attempting to pull a fast one on its viewers when a recent episode with Justin Bieber showed the car getting towed, instead of James driving. “Saw James Corden and Justin Bieber filming carpool karaoke and this is why I have trust issues — he isn’t even driving!” one user wrote on Twitter next to a video of the duo in a car on a set of tow truck wheels.  Alberto E.

21 Savage Tries To Sing Alicia Keys Cover & Epically Fails

We need a 21 Savage singing album. At this point, we’re going to need 21 Savage to take a trip to the recording studio to formally belt out his vocals for an R&B-laced album. The seeds have been planted, the people have spoken, and 21 Savage is reciprocating. Clearly, this man wants us to beg him to drop a cover album of his favorite slow jams. We’ve seen him hit the ‘gram time and time again with blacked-out videos of himself singing along to Aaliyah, Boys II Men, and other classics. This time, he hit us with some more...

If "Control" Dropped In 2020, Who Would Get Challenged?

Being called out has never felt so validating. The mad carnival that is Big Sean, Kendrick Lamar and Jay Electronica’s “Control” continues to have ramifications to this day. Or maybe it doesn’t. Who really knows. Can we fairly attribute Kendrick’s notorious call-out, easily the song’s most iconic moment, as the fire that sparked beneath the collective asses of eleven honored emcees? And thus, is it fair to attribute their respective bodies of work, many of which are considered if not classic, damn fine efforts, to be a direct response to that fateful challenge? Consider those who caught Kendrick’s eye...

“I’m just gonna continue to carry the torch.” Brooklyn Nets point guard Kyrie Irving made his return to the court on Wednesday night for the first time since the tragic helicopter crash that claimed the life of Kobe Bryant, his daughter GiGi, and seven others. It goes without saying that this was an emotional game for Irving, who viewed Bryant as a mentor and someone he could always count on for advice.  Following Wednesday’s 125-115 victory over the Detroit Pistons, Irving broke his silence on Kobe’s passing.  “When the student is ready, the teacher will appear,” Irving said Wednesday, per ESPN....

Joe Budden Implies Justin Bieber "Needs" Black Artists After "Yummy" Remix Tease

A “Yummy” remix with Summer Walker is on the way, and Joe Budden had something to say about it. Justin Bieber‘s chart struggle with his solo comeback single “Yummy” has been real. Despite his greatest efforts, which included begging his fans to stream the track while they slept and buy multiples copies on his website, Bieber was still not able to debut “Yummy” at #1 on the charts. Now infamously beat out by newcomer Roddy Ricch and his hit “The Box,” Bieber took the L with just a sprinkle of passive aggression. Though he may have had to accept defeat this time,...

Reggie Jackson Has Perfect Reaction Following "Bobby Shmurda" Chants In BK

Jackson busts out the Shmoney Dance in response to “BOBBY SHMURDA” chants. Has anyone ever seen Reggie Jackson and Bobby Shmurda in the same room? The Detroit Pistons’ point guard bears a striking resemblance to the currently incarcerated, Brooklyn-born rapper, and there’s no doubt that Jackson is well aware of the comparisons. If he wasn’t, he found out on Wednesday night at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. During one of Jackson’s trips to the free throw line at the end of the first half, a “BOBBY SHMURDA” chant began to reign down from the rafters. Without missing a beat, Jackson...

Larsa Pippen Shares Painful Pic Of The Three Girls Killed In Kobe Bryant Crash

RIP Gigi, Payton, & Alyssa. As we continue to mourn the loss of Kobe Bryant and his daughter Gianna, it’s important that we not forget about the other lives taken in the tragic helicopter crash. In addition to Kobe and Gigi, seven other souls were stripped from the planet this weekend as they travelled to the Mamba Sports Academy in Thousand Oaks, California. Gianna Bryant and her teammates, Payton Chester and Alyssa Altobelli, were also killed in the horrific accident, losing their young lives in something that can only be described as cruel and unfair. Supplementing the outpouring of love for the Bryant...
