Over the last few days, the public hasn't been kind to Tyra Banks. The supermodel mogul has been receiving harsh criticisms in the media after clips of her hit show America's Next Top Model have resurfaced. When the show aired many moons ago, it was a No. 1 hit among fans. Tens of thousands of hopefuls auditioned to be on the modeling reality series and wanted to be judged by Tyra Banks and her cast of highly critical judges.

In the clips that have been circulating, Tyra can be seen mocking people's looks, telling them they have to permanently change themselves to be marketable or accepted, and even dressing up white women in blackface and afros in photo shoots. People have called for her to be canceled or have stated that she's no role model for women, and after days of complaints from the public, Tyra has come forward to address her critics.
"Been seeing the posts about the insensitivity of some past ANTM moments and I agree with you," she penned on Twitter. "Looking back, those were some really off choices. Appreciate your honest feedback and am sending so much love and virtual hugs." She ended her message with a heart emoji. Check it out below.
50 Cent Issues Warning To Anyone Who Dares Go Against Him
A critic of "Power" is now praising "For Life" and 50 Cent vows to keep converting haters into fans.
50 Cent has climbed his way from multi-platinum selling rapper to Hollywood executive. Over the past few years, he's established himself as a producer with Power and now, For Life. The latter is based on the life of Isaac Wright Jr. who overturned a wrongful conviction after he was sentenced to life under New Jersey's drug kingpin laws.

Power became an immediate hit that helped Fif land four spin-offs. Though those have been put on hold for the time being because of the COVID-19 pandemic, For Life is still airing on ABC and it's received praise across the board, including from those that may have previously doubted Fif. The rapper and exec hit Instagram earlier today where he spoke about Greg Braxton of the L.A. Times' recent review of For Life. The tone of the post, however, had sprinkles of Trump throughout it.
"Greg braxton of los Angeles times gave me a fucked up review for power. i didn’t understand his opinion, but i took note of him because i thought he might just be someone deciding to go against me. Now he is giving me great reviews on FOR LIFE I will win over anyone who doubts me let’s go," he captioned the post.
For some reason, the post kind of reads like a Trump tweet. Perhaps it was intentional. Maybe it wasn't. But clearly, Fif's keeping tabs on his doubters.
Aaron Rodgers Takes Shots At Critics Who Call Packers "Average"
Rodgers is seeking his second Super Bowl.
Aaron Rodgers has been one of the best quarterbacks of the past decade. He kicked off his Green Bay Packers career with a Super Bowl and has been seeking a second shot at glory ever since. Despite making the playoffs numerous times, Rodgers and company simply haven’t been able to get back into the big game. This season, the team finished their campaign with a 13-3 record which was good enough to get a first-round bye.
Despite the team’s successful season, critics have been quite harsh on the Packers. The team is constantly squeaking out tight victories and hasn’t exactly been very convincing. Regardless of their record, it’s clear that the Packers are an underdog to go to the Super Bow. As you can imagine, Rodgers isn’t a big fan of this characterization.

“You guys like telling us how we’re just kind of an average team that knows how to win,” Rodgers said according to Matt Schneidman of The Athletic. “But the key point is the ‘win’ part, because right now we’re two wins from the Super Bowl, and we know for sure the first one’s gonna be here.”
The Packers will know who they’re playing in the Divisional Round, as of Sunday night. No matter who they play, we’re sure it’s going to be a great game.
