It may seem inconceivable that a man who once penned lyrics for a song called "F*ck the Police" could be criticized over his radical views on the government, but that's exactly what happened to Ice Cube on Wednesday (June 10). Over the last week, Ice Cube has joined millions of others who have used their platforms to support Black Lives Matter and to speak against systematic racism. However, a few of the memes Cube has shared has caused a bit of confusion, leaving him the target of anti-Semitic accusations.

Joe Rogan doesn’t usually hold his tongue. He usually speaks out on his beliefs, and when it comes to Jeffrey Epstein, he’s made his view on the matter abundantly clear by way of a series of memes and hashtags– namely– #JeffreyEpsteinDidntKillHimself. The hashtag has become commonplace across the internet in the wake of his death. If, for some reason you’re not up to speed– Epstein was a financier with connections to many a high and powerful people. He was reported to have supplied said high and powerful people with underage girls, resulting in sex trafficking charges.

He had already served time for soliciting an underage girl back in 2008, and was a registered sex offender when he was arrested last summer. About one month after his arrest, he was found dead in his jail cell in New York. Officials ruled it a suicide, however, Epstein’s brother (among many others) claim it a homicide. Epstein’s brother hired a pathologist who also concluded it was a more likely a homicide than a suicide– especially considering the amount of volatile information that Epstein had in regards to powerful figures, and a series of other missteps including the lack of camera footage.

Now that you’re up to speed– Joe Rogan’s recent guest, Adam Perry Lang, was actually a personal chef to Epstein at one point, as confirmed in unsealed court testimony. You would think then, that Rogan would have asked Lang a question or two about Epstein, but he didn’t touch the topic at all, much to the dismay of his listeners. Rogan’s comment section on YouTube has become filled with criticism about the lack of questioning around Epstein on Perry Lang, as well as his twitter page.

“This guy was Jeffery Epstein private chef and Joe is obsessed with him and there is no mention of Jeffery Epstein in this whole podcast ?,” one commenter on YouTube questioned. Another wrote, “Very dissapointed with Joe. This guy was Epstein’s personal chef and flew in the lolita express. Joe should have asked questions, like if he saw underaged girls there and WITH WHO. Joe not even asking 1 question about Epstein is the worse thing he could have done. Now this guy doesn’t get to either help clear up the story or clear his name and Joe comes off as complicit in a coverup.”

A twitter user responded to Joe, “No mention of his affiliation with Jeffrey Epstein? I refuse to believe Joe does not know of his ties to Epstein.” Many others echoed this similarly.

Instead, the two had a rather long conversation about steak and the restaurant business in the wake of COVID-19.

What do you think? Should Rogan have asked about his relationship with Epstein? 

Stay tuned, as today’s guest on Rogan is none other than Elon Musk.

The world is currently in a weird place. In the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, reports began floating around last week that Kim Jong Un died. This arrived after weeks of speculation surrounding Kim Jong Un's health, though South Korea has repeatedly shot down these rumors. Last week, North Korea debunked all of the theories surrounding Kim Jong Un by releasing photos of the North Korean leader to prove that nothing is out of the ordinary, despite what the media is saying.

Louise Mensch, a former conservative in the UK government isn't buying it, though. She tweeted out a side-by-side picture of Kim Jong Un pointing out the apparent differences in the recently released photos. She pointed out that his teeth and brows aren't the same, though TMZ quickly debunked her theory. After obtaining the actual photo, they realized Mensch's photo was actually doctored. The actual photo doesn't show any of the differences that Mensch pointed out.

Perhaps, the status of Kim Jong Un's death would've been less complicated had she not suggest that he has a body double pretending to be him. After all, the media in North Korea is run by the government so ultimately, this could be more of a PR move than actual journalistic proof that Kim Jong Un is alive and well in the midst of rumors of his death. 

Celebrities often get inundated with gossip about their personal lives. For the most part, many choose to ignore the rumors and enjoy their day-to-day lives without caring about the opinions of strangers, but often, a famous figure bites back. Rasheeda Frost and her husband, 51-year-old Kirk, have made their marriage the topic of many social media conversations as they’ve aired out their personal lives on Love & Hip Hop Atlanta. They’ve spoken openly about his infidelity and having a child with a stripper—events that almost led to divorce for the couple.

Recently, a Twitter user wanted to know why people aren’t drawing similarities between Kirk and R. Kelly. The person shared a number of unsubstantiated accusations that gave many fans pause. “Kirk adopted Rasheeda when shorty was 15…started having relations with her as a legal parent…married her at 17 while he was 30,” the person wrote. “They been together for 20 years. He has 7 kids, 2 are hers. Why nobody compare him to R. Kelly?”

Rasheeda caught wind of the remarks and fired back at the Twitter user. “U ain’t told nobody sh*t w/ yo bootleg conspiracy theory ass,” she wrote. “Come w/ facts not assumptions if u gone try 2 blast somebody. Here’s some help I’ve never been adopted I didn’t know sh*t bout Kirk when I was 15 & sho wasn’t thinkin bout gettin married @ 17 so worry bot Dat Rona!”

Other fans were quick to point out that Kirk and Rasheeda have said they’re celebrating 20 years of marriage this year, and Rasheeda will be 38 next month. It’s also been reported that she and Kirk married in 1999, and if that’s true, then she would have been 17 when they wed and Kirk would have been 30-years-old. Check out the tweets below.

B.o.B received a ton of press when he suggested that the Earth was flat several years ago. Despite decades of science proving otherwise, the rapper is convinced that the world is not actually round, attempting to prove that theory in 2015. The topic remains at large as conspiracy theorists worldwide argue why things are not as we believe. The Atlanta rapper brought the theory back to life on a recent episode of his podcast, titled The BoBCast, where he discussed what initially led him to make the claims, defending himself anew.

Michael Jordan is the greatest basketball player of all time and was dominant as a member of the Chicago Bulls. He went on two separate three-peats back in the 90s and in the middle of that, he took two years off from the game of basketball. Many believe Jordan could have won eight-straight titles although in an interview with David Aldridge and Michael Lee of The Athletic, Jordan’s teammate Steve Kerr said it would have never happened.

“Sometimes people say to me, ‘If Michael had stayed, you guys would’ve won eight in a row.’ That’s the most preposterous thing I have ever heard. People have no idea how emotionally draining it is for a team to keep winning,” Kerr said.

Kerr also spoke about the various conspiracy theories surrounding Jordan and why he took the two years off. Some say he was suspended for gambling and that David Stern kept it all under wraps. As Kerr explained, it was simply because Jordan needed a break from everything.

“To me, the reason we won the second three was because he got away and recharged his batteries,” Kerr said. “He needed it, desperately. And that’s why he left. He was just burned out. There were all of these theories: Did David Stern tell him you can’t play? Like, yeah, that would be very smart – the greatest player ever and we’re going to punish him for gambling or whatever? What are we even talking about? That’s dumb. All of those conspiracy theories were dumb. Bottom line was, he was fried. Going through a lot with his father’s death. Just getting away for two years, recharged his batteries and got him ready for the next three.”

Needless to say, Kerr is more qualified to speak on this than many others out there and we’re happy to get his perspective on one of the best players ever.

She tried to let her conspiracy theory flag fly free, but Keri Hilson was shut down swiftly. On Sunday (March 15), the singer used her time being quarantined by sharing a few thoughts about how 5G networks are responsible for this recent coronavirus outbreak. "People have been trying to warn us about 5G for YEARS," Keri tweeted. "Petitions, organizations, studies...what we’re going thru is the affects of radiation. 5G launched in CHINA. Nov 1, 2019. People dropped dead. See attached & go to my IG stories for more. TURN OFF 5G by disabling LTE!!!"

Keri Hilson went on to share links and video clips to support her argument, but the internet was uncaring. The criticisms flooded in and people couldn't believe that the No Boys Allowed artist believed in the theory. The backlash was so intense that it looks as if Keri's team told her to stop spreading information about the controversial ideologies. 

"Management has asked me to delete vid/articles. ??‍♀️," Keri tweeted on Monday (March 16). "I appreciate good discourse on unconventional thinking. Let’s all just be safe out there, cuz whatever the cause the virus a real thing. May God be with us...prayers to alllllll ??." Check out a couple of tweets by Keri Hilson below.
