Lil Yachty Demolishes His Dad In Friendly Race

Lil Yachty did this just a week before father's day.

Lil Yachty has always been known to engage in some antics from time to time. In his music, Yachty exudes youthful exuberance and this same philosophy applies to his everyday life. At times, Yachty likes to film these antics and share them with the world. Typically, it always makes for some fun viewing and it's ultimately part of the reason why he is so beloved by all of his fans.

On Friday, Yachty decided to film a friendly race with his 50-year-old father, and it was entertaining, to say the least. Throughout the video, you can see Yachty talking a whole lot of smack before considerably outpacing his father. From there, he calls his dad an "old ass man" and belittles him for losing what appeared to be a make-shift 100-meter dash.

When you consider the age gap, Yachty's win shouldn't come as that much of a surprise. However, it is important to note that next week is Father's Day which means he will have to make this up to his dad somehow. Losing a race to your son in front of thousands of people isn't fun and we're sure he's expecting a nice gift as payback for what he had to go through.

Needless to say, it was all in good fun and we're sure Yachty's dad did plenty of winning when he was younger.

Trae Young & ESPN Roasted For Abhorrent H-O-R-S-E Video Quality

Trae Young and numerous other H-O-R-S-E competitors had horrible camera setups last night.

ESPN had the bright idea just a couple of weeks ago to host a H-O-R-S-E tournament featuring former NBA players, current NBA players, and even some WNBA stars. The first matchups were last night and let's just say, it didn't go as well as people were hoping. For starters, let's go with the results. Chauncey Billups beat Trae Young, Mike Conley defeated Tamika Catchings, Allie Quigley upset Chris Paul, and finally, Zach Lavine knocked off Paul Pierce.

While these results are fine, there is no denying just how bad the quality of the broadcast was. Now listen, ESPN can't send camera crews outside because we are in the midst of a pandemic. However, grainy Nokia phone footage isn't exactly the best alternative either and that's exactly what we got. Just look at the clip of Trae Young below, for an example.

Twitter immediately roasted ESPN and the participants for the disastrous way in which this whole thing was presented. In all fairness, this was pretty well unavoidable considering the circumstances but still. The NBA 2K tournament was shot better than this thing.

Check out some of the hilarious comments below and let us know what you thought about the first round of the H-O-R-S-E tournament.

Dancehall Performer Roxanne "Bumpa" Evans Dies After Attempting move

Tragic news out of Jamaica. Dancehall performer Roxanna "Bumpa" Evans died after attempting a "Chuck Tru" dance move at a competition with a $3500 prize.

The failed move was caught on tape. (You can watch it here.)

Evans is seen balancing on her head while her dance partner Momo aligns her opened legs so Evans could leap through. Unfortunately, Momo landed on Evans, breaking her neck on impact.

Stacy Xpressionz, who created the Chuck Tru move, cautioned others against attempting it.

“I’ve seen other dancers attempt it and land on their hands, back and head and seriously injure themselves. As you know, one dancer would go on their head and the other one would ‘chuck tru’ their legs and land. But what some people try to do is flick (flip) instead ’cause it’s easier. The thing is, it looks easy, but when you’re about to attempt it, you will see that it’s not really easy. You need to know the right techniques and you need a lot of space before you jump. The truth is, me and Shelly (Callum, the other co-creator) have never seen anybody execute the move properly,” she told the Jamaica Observer.

Evans was 27. RIP.

HBO’s "We Are The Dream" Trailer Will Bring You To Tears


HBO’s “We Are The Dream: The Kids of the Oakland MLK Oratorical” documentary trailer will leave you in shambles.

While Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s national holiday commemorating his life and legacy is officially behind us, HBO’s upcoming We Are The Dream: The Kids of the Oakland MLK Oratorical documentary will follow the youth of Oakland as they prepare to compete in the city’s annual Martin Luther King Oratorical Festival.

This particular competition features hundreds of children ranging in grades from pre-kindergarten through the twelveth grade that get to publicly perform a mixture of published and original poetry and speeches. The children are encouraged to reflect on the topics that matter to them the most, ranging from topics including cultural commentary/acceptance, political activism, social justice, environmentalism, and more. 

HBO’s We Are The Dream, directed by Amy Schatz and executive produced by Mahershala Ali, will follow the journey of a multitude of beautiful, blossoming souls as they prepare for the 2019 40th Annual Martin Luther King Oratorical Festival. 

The trailer alone draws its viewers in as the courageous youths participate in what many adults refuse to engage in, public speech. These brave students, from all different walks of life, are continuing the legacy of the coveted Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. who used his oratorical skill set to bring the world together. 

In a statement released by HBO, the network praised the filmmakers’ journeys alongside an amazing group of emboldened and empowered children stating, 

“It is a portrait of passionate young people raising their voices about issues they care about – social justice, immigration and more – and of a community that celebrates them.” 

While this past Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day was filled with surprises from White House counselors and the FBI, we’re sure this executive-produced worked by Oscar-winning actor Mahershala Ali will do the Reverand and the youth of Oakland, CA justice.

Check out the full-length trailer for HBO’s upcoming documentary, We Are The Dream: The Kids of the Oakland MLK Oratorical in the video provided below. And also be on the lookout for the film to premiere on HBO February 18 at 7:00 P.M. EST.
